We just spent two weeks in Orlando for free. You already know you can stay anywhere in the world for free by swapping the use of your home for the use of another family's place. We let first-time exchangers use our tiny Manhattan apartment in January. They cleared out of their second home in Orlando over the most popular two weeks of the year to visit Florida's theme parks, Spring Break in April.
After setting up our home exchange lodging I did not immediately remove Orlando from our list of desired destinations. As a result, offers for the Orlando area kept arriving in my email. Looking at the profile of one swapper I noticed that he was affiliated with a major theme park. Most people only swap the use of their homes for the use of someone else's home. We already had a place to stay in Orlando. Would this exchanger consider getting us free or discounted admission to his place of business, the major theme park?
Spring Break is such a popular time to visit Orlando that most of the theme parks prevent pass-holders from using even season passes. The entire length of our stay was a "black-out" period for all the available types of annual and discount pass packages.
Still, it was worth a chance. I asked the exchanger if he would consider getting us entry to the park in exchange for using our home during his preferred dates. It took a while for him to get back to me.
