Spring For These Deals

Spring is definitely in the air. Easter’s a bit early this year. The bulbs are just peeking through the soil in most places. And the Irish are a smilin’ with St. Patrick’s Day around the corner. So here are three packages to help celebrate three special times of the year.

“Eggs”cellent Easter Package
Travelers looking for a last-minute, yet affordable getaway for Easter will find a fantastic family offer at The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort with nightly activities for the entire clan. Starting at $199 per night, the package includes kids eat free and late checkout. March 30 through Easter Sunday, guests can enjoy daily poolside activities including egg decorating, hair wraps and dive-in movies. The night before Easter parents and kids will gather on the white sand beach for a glow in the dark egg hunt and s’mores party. Valid March 13-24, please ask for rate code EASTER when booking.

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort is offering an "eggs"cellent Easter package.

A Shamrock of a Deal
Whether Irish by blood or just for the day, the Westin New York at Times Square is offering all “Irishmen” the chance to wake up on March 17th just blocks from the start of the St. Patrick’s Day parade, prime location to take in bands, pipers, dancers, and Irish organizations. Guests staying Sunday, March 16, 2008 can take advantage of a rate of $339 per room, including Irish Fry Up breakfast for two including eggs, Irish black pudding, soda bread, bangers and more.
