Discount Travel Secret: Spring Travel Tips


Discount Travel Secret:
Spring Travel Tips

Hi Reader,

This week I have another great mix across the entire country from Arizona and Nevada to Florida and Missouri.

I wanted to specifically focus on some popular Spring Break destinations and travel styles that tend to be cheaper than others!

🎒 🎟️ Attractions 🎒 🎟️

Silver Dollar City (Branson, Missouri)

This is one of the nicest theme parks I have ever been to outside of Disney parks.

Branson is a great, affordable destination to visit in the Spring.

They have great roller coasters, great food, and so much live entertainment and local charm.

It's such a unique park that you should check out at least once in your life!

Kingman KOA Journey Camping Cabin Review

Keeping with the theme from last week of Route 66 celebrating it's 100th anniversary this year, I have another great campground you should check out!

Kingman is in Arizona, near the California border.

When we road trip we always stop here for In N Out.

We actually stayed in this cabin when we were moving from California and Ohio because the cabins are WAY cheaper than typical hotel rooms and because we could have our U-Haul directly outside of our cabin where we could keep an eye on it.

86 Best Las Vegas Happy Hours

One of my most read blog posts of all time is my list of the best Las Vegas happy hours!

It's really the only way we eat when we visit Vegas and the best part is that there are happy hours there 24/7, not even exaggerating.

It's a great way to sample several smaller menu items and get to try more restaurants, especially during shorter weekend visits.

We used to go every St. Patrick's Day weekend for one of JP's friends birthdays, so we've spent many Spring weekends in Vegas!

How To Use Uber and Lyft at Disney World

My best of all time blog post from another one of my blogs - Mouse Transportation Tips - is all about getting around Disney World!

This post shares how Uber and Lyft work (especially Disney's exclusive Minnie Vans).

I usually don't recommend paying for transportation at Disney World since they offer so many free options, but every once in awhile things come up & a quick Minnie Van ride can save the day!

See you next week,

Eva and JP πŸ’Ž
