After spending so much time apart, it is no wonder that your family would want to come together for a trip with the whole crew. Deciding on a destination that suits grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins can feel daunting, but we promise it does not have to be. There are plenty of locations that can provide a stress-free getaway filled with memories that everyone will cherish for years to come!
What To Consider
Taking some time to think about those in your party prior to planning your trip will make the process a little smoother. Ask yourself who will be paying, when everyone will be available, and what are some things that everyone loves to do! If everyone is paying for their own family, you want to make sure that the destination is within budget for all those interested in taking part in the trip. You will also want to make sure your schedules all line up – be sure to check work and school activities before setting your travel dates in stone. Most importantly, make sure your incorporating activities for the whole family based on interests, lifestyles, and health conditions. If Uncle Joe is prone to motion sickness, he might not be too excited about hopping on a cruise ship.
Let’s Go All-Inclusive
When it comes to family vacations, an all-inclusive resort is usually the best bet. They take a lot of the guesswork out of coordinating a huge family vacation and are usually easier to work with on a budget! Most offer play areas and activities specifically for kids and teens, spas for the parents who need a little bit of a break, and on-site activities and entertainment for the grandparents. Plus, you will not have to leave the resort for meals as the larger resorts usually offer multiple on-site dining options that are sure to fit everyone’s appetite.
Home Away from Home
While we usually recommend staying in one of the on-site resorts when visiting Walt Disney World or Universal due to the great perks, it might not be in the budget for those traveling with large families. In that case, why not consider booking a Vacation Rental? While you will have to drive a little longer to get to the parks, you will have access to a lot more of the comforts of home. Depending on the size of the rental, you can comfortably fit up to 16-20 people, each family will have their own bathroom, and you will have a full kitchen to stock up on groceries, pack lunches, and save money on dining out.
Vacation Rentals are not just for theme park getaways, though. You can find them in a variety of areas across the U.S.– like cozy cabins in the mountains of Tennessee, stunning homes by the beach in South Carolina, or ski cabins near the slopes of Vermont and Montana.
Regardless of what type of vacation your family decides to go on, we are excited to think about the priceless memories you are about to create. We would love to help you take some of the stress out of the planning process and craft an experience that has a little something for everyone.
