With summer here, you may be thinking about vacations in sunny locations or having fun at a resort. But have you considered taking advantage of one of the best Costco shopping hacks and booking a vacation through the warehouse club?

You can get great deals on vacation packages through Costco. So, pull out your suitcase and check Costco’s travel department for these fantastic adventures.

Walt Disney World (USA)

Want to add a little pixie dust to your next vacation? Check out a trip to Walt Disney World via Costco. The warehouse retailer offers several packages to the Magic Kingdom and its nearby attractions.

If you would like to stay on site, Costco offers several of Disney’s hotels at different price points, from the most affordable to the most deluxe. Or if you would prefer to stay at an off-site resort with close access to the parks, check out different options offered by hotel chains, including Marriott, Sheraton, or Hilton.

Disneyland (USA)

If you’re looking for a Disney experience on the West Coast instead, Costco has you covered. As with Walt Disney World, Costco’s travel department gives you options for both staying on-site at Disneyland or booking off-site if you would prefer.

Booking with your membership card may also get you a Disney gift card and discounts at shops in the Downtown Disney District.

Universal Orlando Resort (USA)

Not everyone is a Disney fan, but not to worry: Costco still has another option. Check out some of the different hotel options near Universal Orlando Resort. You will find hotels at different price ranges to fit your budget.

Packages might include perks like early park admission, express passes, or other special savings just for Costco members. Then, enjoy all the themed rides and foods at Universal Orlando, including those focused on your favorite characters from Harry Potter, Transformers, "The Simpsons," and more.

Dominican Republic
