Find Family-Friendly Fun
Look up attractions are nearby your resort to see what family-friendly activities are available. Create a loose schedule each day to ensure you get to do everything on your list without overloading yourself or your kids. Buy tickets for tours and attractions ahead of time to avoid having to wait in long lines with your children. If you have young children or infants it’s important to consider things like stroller transportation and diaper bags. Some resorts will include kid-friendly accommodations like waterparks, character meet-and-greets, or fun zones with games and activities. Make sure to set aside time to rest and enjoy the perks of your hotel or suite. Bring puzzles and interactive board games to keep kids entertained during your downtime indoors.
Pack For Everyone
The last thing you want to do is forget something important when you get to your destination and unpack. Be sure to write out a detailed list well before you plan on leaving, giving yourself time to pack and shop for any items you don’t have. Babies and toddlers require even more things like bottles, diapers, strollers, booster seats, toys, and more. Bring extra toiletries and plan your outfits around the activities you plan on doing. Bring a swimsuit if you are going to a waterpark and binoculars if you’re going sightseeing. If you do forget something upon arrival, ask if there is a nearby store or on-site convenience store.
Get There Safely
When it comes to transportation, think about the best interest of your family and their comfort needs. While flying may be fast and efficient, airports require you to arrive early before your flight, check your luggage, and get everyone through security. For a more luxurious and slower-paced trip on the road, consider renting an RV. RVs allow you to drive on your own schedule and come with the benefit of having your own bedroom and bathroom. There is usually plenty of room for storage, so you don’t have to worry about fitting your items in a carry-on bag.
These tips will help you plan your next great vacation for the entire family.
