Some Great Tips for Using the Magicard in Orlando, Florida

If you are planning on spending any time at all outside of the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida, then you should consider obtaining an Orlando Magicard. The Orlando Magicard is a discount card offered by the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau. The Orlando Magicard offers several hundred dollars in discounts on shopping, restaurants, attractions, and accommodations. The best thing of all is that the Orlando Magicard is absolutely free.

You can obtain the Orlando Magicard in three ways. You can download and print out a copy of the card instantly from www.orlandoinfo.com. You can pick one up in person when you are in Orlando at the official Orlando Visitor Center. Lastly you can have one mailed to you from the website mentioned previously. I recommend the last option. If you are like me, you will like the idea of having the card before you leave home, so you can become familiar with the features of the card and won't have to waste time at the visitor center in Orlando. Having the card ahead of time also gives you the chance to plan out your vacation and what offers you want to take advantage of, before you leave home.

Some important things to keep in mind when you are using your Magicard is that not all offers are valid year round. You should check with each establishment before ordering. You must always present the Magicard to get the special offer. You cannot combine discounts with the magic card. You can only use it for groups up to six people.

A great example of the wonderful deals that can be had with the Magicard is on accommodations. The Magicard is offering a discount on the Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort Hotel. Normally this hotel, which is right in the middle of downtown Disney, charges $159.99 a night. With the Orlando Magicard you can get the same room in peak season for $119.99 a night. You can save $40 a night, just for using the Magicard. This is just one of the savings that can be had with the card.

Another example of the great discounts that you can get with the Magicard is in dining. One of the most popular restaurants in Orlando is Raglan Road Irish Pub in downtown Disney. With the Magicard you can save 10% off the entire food bill.

As you can see, whether you are purchasing accommodations, or dining, or even attractions you can save a significant amount of money with the Magicard. One important point is that the examples above are just representative of the types of discounts, which are available. You should always check the website mentioned previously for the latest updated list of offers and discounts for use with the Magicard.
