Step 2: Accomodations - Choose A Place At An Unlikely Time

Think of looking for your accommodations like you're shopping for a deal at Century 21.  Look for "budget friendly" destinations, but don't be afraid of the word budget. These places are not necessarily budget friendly year round, but rather offer cheaper rates during their off season or when they are not so busy.

Because of its extreme heat, you can find lower priced airline tickets and resort rates during the month of August. Disney World, Orlando [Photo via Danielle Rufrano]
