Discounted or free accommodation for visiting someone in the hospital?

Q. My mom is in the hospital in Richmond, VA. Do you know of any scholarships or discounts for hotels or hostels for out of state visiting family members?

A. There is no scholarships for hotels, you might find a discounted rate through a online travel site or calling the hotels and asking for the best rate.

How much would a disney vacation cost for three adults and one child, for three nights all together?
Q. We plan on getting discount tickets for two or three days depending on finances, and a discount hotel maybe two or three
parks whatever is on the discount tickets, and a car rental. And
of course food too. We
live in Jacksonville Florida. I was thinking $1200 might be enough. What do you think

A. Disney advertises $1600 for a family of four for a week at Disney. This includes your hotel room at a value and tickets for two adults, one child and one junior, during value season. Since you have three adults, that can make prices a little higher, but since you are wanting to stay offsite and things like that, you should be able to get everything for around $1200, but if you stay offsite you won't be able to get the dining plan, which is a big money saver, so you will either need to eat at counter-service restaurants, or spend a little more money, if you plan to eat at Disney.

For the hotel, you can generally get the cheapest rate by calling the hotel directly and asking for any discounts. Sites like Expedia, Orbitz, etc. will advertise lower rates, but this isn't always the case.

For tickets, you can get a Florida resident rate, as you can with the rooms at Disney, I'm not sure about rooms at offsite hotels. This would more than likely be your best option for a discount, unless you do a timeshare or something like that.

For a rental car, the best thing is to just shop around, check with different companies, etc. I think rental cars are one of the biggest things as far as price fluctuations are concerned, so be sure to look around for this.

Dining, will depend on what you are planning to do. You can make lunches to bring to the parks, you can bring snacks as well, counter-service meals are around $10 per person in the parks, you can eat offsite, many hotels are within walking distance, depending on where you stay. Sit-down meals at Disney are $20 and up, with $20 being the least you will likely spend per person. So, if you are wanting to save a little money, these may not fit in your budget. If you want to have some nicer meals, and want to stay onsite, then you should consider the dining plan, it will save you around 19%. However, you do have to have a package onsite at Disney, so I'm not sure if that is an option or not.


Hope this helps!

Does anyone know of any sites about Disney?
Q. I am looking to go to disney world in florida and was wondering if anyone knew a cheap way to go without staying in a discount hotel. Is anybody giving out free passes or something?

A. No such thing as legitimate cheap Disney tickets. There are a few authorized discount dealers, such as AAA if you are a member, http://www.mapleleaftickets.com and http://www.undercovertourist.com I recommend purchasing only from an authorized agent, because there are lots of ticket scams out there.
