Five Affordable Destinations from Smarter Travel

Posted on July 14, 2008 at 11:10 AM

 I love the website Smarter Travel. www.smartertravel.com  I subscribe to their email newsletter and alerts.   I am delighted with the amount of detail they offer in their stories.  Recently I received an email detailing five affordable vacations.  I can attest to the affordability having visited all five recomendations.  In fact, I think that four of the five are perfect for families with autistic children.  Las Vegas is the only recommended destination that I hesitate to endorse if only for the sensory issues alone.  Two of the destinations are driving destinations that allow families to pace themselves.  Walt Disney World is a favorite for families with disabilities.  WDW willingness to accomodate special needs is legendary.  The Outer Banks is a perfect location to enjoy the beach in a slow and leisurly fashion.  For the full article, please go to http://littlelink.webtrouble.com/?1fSm  Enjoy your summer!

I am a sucker for Walt Disney World, mostly because <br> <br>a). I am a die-hard Disneyphile (an autistic myself who loves Disney) and <br> <br>b) I live near Plant City, which is an hour away from the resort! <br> <br>I'm planning on Vegas, (which you find iffy for just the sensory mishmush that livens the atmosphere) but I'm more at home on WDW. I have little or no problems with a "staycation" (due to the current economy) since the propinquity of my residence to the destination is absolutely fascinating. Oh, and I have a Seasonal Pass, so I'm willing to take half days to avoid exhaustion (maybe an afternoon and evening of a handful of rides, Eeyore, <i>Spectromagic</i>, and <i>Wishes</i> at the Magic Kingdom is perfectly fine). I'm writing a blog on surviving a vacation (or day) at Walt Disney World with coherent tips, some of which stems from what I've learned from my own experiences.
