Lake Buena Vista, Florida, throughout the years the name has become synonymous with family vacations. A time out from the ordinary where children can shake hands with a 6 foot mouse and grown ups can let their hair down and re-discover the feeling of throwing all caution to the wind and not feeling guilty about having that 10 lb turkey leg. If the knee bone is connected to the ankle bone, then Lake Buena Vista has been connected to Walt Disney World for more then 35 years. As a travel writer, I am constantly on the look out for deals on travel; and with the help of the internet, I came across a gem.

Orlando, specifically Lake Buena Vista, is a moderate to expensive place to visit. Hotels line up the streets along with an array of tourist traps selling imprinted Disney memorabilia for $10 a shirt. These "deals" may appeal to the masses of tourists that visit the Disney area every year, but it really doesn’t sum up the great offers that are out there; if you know where to look. An online travel portal company called Dunhill Vacations has figured out how to offer a fabulous family vacation and still keep enough money in your pocket for all the key chains and tee shirts to send to your friends back home.

They have teamed up with a brand new hotel called the Radisson Hotel Buena Vista and the savings are astronomical. The Dunhill Vacations Exclusive offers a rate of $69 per night, which is 15% less than the lowest rate the Radisson Hotel website itself will get you. If that’s not a sweet enough deal for you, then listen to what this resort offers. This resort has 196 furnished guest rooms and suites, LCD flat panel televisions and sleep number beds.

For those of you that want a more ‘active’ feel to your vacation, then how about checking out their state of the art fitness center or their mega-size pool where you can enjoy your favorite cocktail at the Tiki bar located within close proximity to the pool and the whirlpool.

Enjoy a fabulous dinning experience when you visit some of the areas best restaurants. Along with their in-house Liquid Bar & Grill specializing in American cuisine, dinner can be served a short distance away at such places as Fish Bones, Charlie’s Steak House, Olive Garden and Orlando Ale House.

For the shoppers, you are but minutes away from the Orlando Premium and Prime Outlet malls with over 118 & 110 stores respectively. The Millenia Mall offers your choice of 150 stores while the Florida Mall offers 306 stores to browse through.

If the nightlife wins you over, of course you can dance the night away at Pleasure Island and City Walk; which offers you a combination of dining and dancing.

For adults and children alike, the Radisson Hotel Buena Vista is located ¼ mile from all the theme parks that Walt Disney World has to offer. And, if you are a guest at their resort, along with enjoying all of these extras, a complimentary shuttle will be offered to bring you to your favorite parks.
