Summer Travel in Florida

Rates go up and rates go down according to the season, but it depends on the area of Florida whether the summer is a good deal or not. Most Florida schools begin in early- or mid-August. If you can travel later in August there are more deals available (and less crowds too). Here are where you'll find the best summer deals:

• Enjoy the best rates of the year in Key West and the Florida Keys.
• Going to Disney World? Disney's value resorts have the best rates, especially in late August and early September. The longer you stay, the more your savings with Disney's "Magic Your Way" tickets.
• If you like to golf, this is the time of the year to get in on special golf packages at your favorite resort.
