The Best New Year’s Resolution is to Travel More
December 29, 2017
December is the most wonderful month of the year with all the fun of the holidays, the many feasts and family gatherings! And right after all the magic of December, we all have the chance of envisioning what the brand new year that is about to arrive will look like for us! We have a clean slate ready to receive everything we are ready to build for that New Year. We looked up what the most popular New Year’s resolutions are according to Nielsen and here’s what we found:
It’s no surprise that staying fit is the number one resolution for most people, but we were really surprised to see “travel more” so close to the bottom of the list. Travel has so many benefits and incredible “side effects” that here at the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa we believe that traveling more should be everyone’s number one resolution. Travel can actually encompass most all of the other resolutions and here’s how:
1- Stay fit and healthy: Traveling means exploring and exploring means lots of walking around, which can certainly help you keep your fitness goals. When visiting Orlando for example, you will easily walk miles a day at the theme parks and not even feel like you did it.
2- Lose weight: Being more active and walking a lot during all of the sightseeing you’ll do during your vacation can definitely help you lose weight. Choose a hotel like the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa that has a fitness facility onsite to help you stay on track with your goal of losing some weight even while on vacation. Plus, remember that calories DO count on vacation, so instead of ordering a Mickey Kitchen Sink Sundae, just order a small sweet treat and call it a day!
3- Enjoy life to the fullest: I mean… need we even explain why traveling is THE BEST option here? Traveling really lets you enjoy like to the fullest. You get to know different people, cultures, languages and places. You get to spend time living and doing whatever makes you happy! Just make sure to take advantage of all of your vacation days and make it happen!
4- Spend less, save more: You don’t have to skip traveling to save money. Traveling is an investment in yourself and your mental health, so it’s truly money well spent. To save money, do your research to find the best deals on airfare and hotel rates and read online reviews and blog posts on how to save money at your chosen destination. Pick a hotel that offers plenty of amenities like the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa and that will help you save money while still providing you with a luxurious vacation feel. Cut down costs by forfeiting the souvenir-buying tradition. Accumulate moments, not things!
5- Spend more time with family and friends: YES! That is what life is all about. Spend quality time with friends and family by traveling together to exciting destinations like magical Orlando! Make lasting memories at Walt Disney Word, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando!
6- Get organized: Planning a vacation requires some planning to make sure you get the best possible experience. So, practice your organization skills by planning your dream vacation!
7- Learn something new/new hobby: You will learn SO much any time you travel to any destination! And traveling alone would be a new hobby, so there you have it!
It’s really not too hard to see why traveling should seriously be your number one goal for 2018! Start the New Year with the excitement of planning a trip to Orlando to explore the city beautiful and its amazing theme parks! Get ready to take the plunge at our unique Pirate’s Plunge Pool and be pampered at our beautiful resort! Let the New Year begin! We will see you soon!
