The economic meltdown in America has placed a serious crimp on the traditional American Family vacation. Disney just announced a 5% drop-off in attendance at its Disney theme parks division and a 24% or $382 revenue decline. Nonetheless, the average American still has 2 weeks of vacation time available to them and the kids will be out of school for the summer. So, what to do?

Several options have come available for the cash strapped family that still wants to travel. Cruise lines are offering steep discounts. Disney World is offering a "Birthday Special" which allows free park access on your Birthday. An online travel site, http://www.Rooms101.com ,that is partnered with Travelocity has two unique options available for the family who wants an affordable vacation package.

The first is a "vacation layaway" plan that allows you to make a$25 down payment and then make payments until you actually go. They have been doing this for 21 years but, up until now, have not actively marketed it. Says Margo Taylor of Rooms101.com, "we just saw a need to make people aware that you can still travel despite all of the negative economic news. A vacation should not be out of reach for the common American. As long as people are willing to make reasonable payment arrangements, we will help them go on their family vacation.".

Rooms101.com is a 21 year old Ormond Beach, Fl full service travel agency with its CLIA license, Florida Seller of Travel License, Las Vegas Nevada Seller of Travel License and an outstanding BBB record. In addition to full service travel, Rooms101.com offers "Resort Sponsored Vacation Packages" that typically are 75% off the normal price. These packages require a timeshare presentation (usually 90 minutes). Rooms101 only deals with the highest quality resort partners and does not participate in the sneaky timeshare tactics of yesteryear.

Josh Williams of Rooms101.com has begun what he terms a public education tour on the timeshare industry and the discounted introductory vacation package offers associated with timeshare. Says Williams,"The timeshare industry has a once deserved negative reputation that should be reexamined. Once the likes of Disney, Hilton, Wyndahm and other top notch brand machines entered into the timeshare industry, they raised the bar for all involved.". Williams contends that the majority of the scam artists and fly by night companies have been replaced by honest fractional ownership operations that treat the client well from begining to end in the hopes that they will purchase a vacation ownership plan.

"Gone are the 'lock-you-in-the-room-until-you-buy and roach motel accommodations tactics of the past." says Williams. Today, you can expect free Disney world tickets, luxurious resort accommodations in Orlando, quality treatment by the sales team and generally a fondly remembered Orlando Disney vacation, says Williams. He points out that, in today's economic times, timeshare is a good deal. The people who were contemplating second vacation homes would be well served by a vacation ownership opportunity says Williams. "Why not?", he says, "Why wouldn't you trade 90 minutes of your time for he opportunity to take your family on a fantastic vacation to Orlando Florida, get free Disney tickets and stay in a world class resort and simply consider an offer that is actually a good idea?" States Williams.
