The Ultimate East Coast Amusement Park and Water Park Family Road trip For Less

The ultimate east coast amusement park and water park family road trip for less

The Ultimate East Coast Amusement Park and Water Park Family Road trip For Less

There are few things I enjoy more than going to amusement parks and water parks with my wife and kids. In just one day, I get a SD card full of great memories to download from my camera. The kids remember the best parts for ages and there is nothing like the bonding you get from going down the giant hill with your little ones on their first real roller coaster. It’s no secret that cost of admission to the great parks (and even the lousy ones) costs an arm and a leg though. This past summer though I figured out how to go to amusement parks and water parks with all my kids all the way up and down the east coast from Pennsylvania to Florida for around $125 a piece. I also got free preferred parking at the parks and discounts on any souvenirs and food I bought. Your mileage may vary a bit since prices and policies change, but this is how I did it.

The key to the whole thing is Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA. Sesame Place is part of the network of Busch parks throughout the country, but they are mostly on the east coast. If you buy a Super Grover seasons pass at Sesame Place, you also get free entry and parking at almost all of the other Busch parks. Plus when I called to buy my tickets, I found out that if you ask you can get a family pack on these for a discount that took about $30 off the price for us in 2008. So instead of paying around $150 each for the 5 passes I would need for my family I saved more than the cost of a pass by buying in the bundle. Since I live in PA, I also had the extra advantage of going back to Sesame Place several times with my kids, but the kicker was all the other parks we went to.

These are the Busch amusement parks that are on the east coast that I was able to visit on my amusement park family road trip all for that one fee (I’ll also be putting together feedback on each of the parks we visited from my viewpoint and my children’s in the near future. If there is a link on a park name it is pointing to the review of that park):

First we went to Sesame Place. The cost of daily tickets to Sesame place for my family of five (really we’re 6, but baby was 18 months so got in free everywhere) would have been around $50 a piece so $250 for the day plus the cost of parking. The ticket is actually a two day pass for the price of one.

Next we spent several days in Williamsburg, VA at Busch Gardens Europe and Water Country USA. We went to Busch Gardens one day and Water Country USA for two days. Two days at the water park would have cost me $360 plus the cost of parking each day, the one day at Busch Gardens would have been around $250 plus parking. So just from those 3 days of parks I was able to about match what I spent for the passes, when you include the cost of the day at Sesame place we are already far exceeding it. The rest is just gravy at this point and there is a whole lot of gravy.

Next we drove to Tampa to Busch Gardens Africa. There is also Adventure Island Water park, but is was closed when we went. It reopens for 2009 though so you could go as part of this family roadtrip. I really enjoyed Busch Garden’s Africa, but I’ll leave the details to the review. A day at Busch Gardens Tampa would cost $60 each or $300 (like Sesame Place, they are currently offering a second day free included in this cost). They aren’t giving prices right now for the water park, but I would expect it to be around the same price as Water Country USA, so that would be another $180 for the day.

Then you get to the climax of the trip, Orlando. Did you know Sea World is a Busch park? Well, it is and admission and parking is also included with the Super Grover Passport. Not only that, by Aquatica, the new Busch family water park opened in Orlando in 2008 and that is included too. One day tickets to Seaworld for my family would have been around $65 each or $325, for Aquatica the cost would have been around $210 for us.

On the way back, we could have gone through all of these parks again, but frankly we were so exhausted by the fun we had on our family vacation amusement park road trip that we were ready to get back home. Now of course you need to add the cost of food and lodging and gas to the trip, but the savings on amusement park and water park tickets on the trip made an affordable outing out of a trip that we definitely could not have otherwise done. So we end up with tickets costing $625 that if we went to all the parks and bought the individual tickets, it would have been almost $2000. The difference covered most of the other expenses for the trip.

Family Travel Ideas for Family Vacations to Massachusetts with your Kids

Family Travel Ideas for Family Vacations to Massachusetts with your Kids


Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in Massachusetts with your Kids

The activities of Boston, the beaches of Cape Cod and the unique tourist attractions of Central and Western Massachusetts are just a few of the reasons that families frequently plan to spend their summer vacations in the state. If you know that you want to be one of these families but aren’t sure where in Massachusetts you want to spend the summer, here is a closer look at those three basic regions to help you get started on your trip planning.

Boston:

Boston and the surrounding area offer so much for family travelers that it’s possible to plan almost any kind of itinerary that you want. If you have a multi-age family with older kids who are getting near to the college age, you might want to spend some time in Cambridge on the campuses of Harvard and MIT. But that doesn’t mean that the little kids will get left out of a trip to the city. The Boston Children’s Museum, The Boston Children’s Theatre, The Franklin Park Zoo and The New England Aquarium are just a few of the best kid-friendly spots in the area. You can also explore areas of the city that will appeal to the entire family, such as The Esplanade Park area along the Charles River, the outdoor festival at Faneuil Marketplace and the sporting fun at Fenway. Families who enjoy tours provided by local guides should check out the short-trip on Swan Boats of Boston, the hour-and-a-half tour of the Boston Harbor provided by Boston by Sea and The Old Town Trolley Tour of Boston.

Cape Cod:

For some families, Boston is a great city to see for a day or two but the chance to spend a longer vacation at the beach is the true desire. And for others, a longer trip to Boston that includes a day trip to the water is the way to go. Cape Cod and the other beachfront areas of Massachusetts are located close enough to the city to make it possible for your family to experience both. There are many miles of public beaches all along Cape Cod and the neighboring towns of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. The kids can build sandcastles (and there’s an annual sandcastle competition each year to check out), go swimming and enjoy other beach activities. If you want to get a little bit more adventure during your stay in the area without going all the way to Boston, check out Pirate Adventures Theme Park, Water Wizz Waterpark and The Children’s Museum of Cape Cod.

Central and Western Massachusetts:

Boston and the beaches aren’t the only parts of Massachusetts that are worth visiting with your family. There’s a whole half of the state west of there that offers much adventure of its own. Visit Old Strubridge Village in Central Massachusetts to show your kids what an early nineteenth century town looked like. Show them modern farm life (and get lost in eight acre corn maze) at Davis Farmland and MegaMaze. Other must-sees are the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, the Basketball Hall of Fame, the indoor/outdoor museum called EcoTarium and� the Herbert Candy Mansion.

Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in North Dakota with your Kids

Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in North Dakota with your Kids

If you’re trying to plan your family summer vacation and you want to go somewhere that you haven’t been before, you might want to think about heading to North Dakota. The state provides for some interesting travel experiences that make for great memories and terrific photos for your kids’ scrapbooks. Here are a few North Dakota trip ideas for your family to consider this summer:

The Enchanted Highway

If you enjoy long drives with your family, this is a great place to go. That’s because it provides enough activity and points of interest along the way to keep the kids from getting bored, letting the whole family get the best out of a North Dakota road trip without the hassles that usually accompany long drives with young children. They’ll be thrilled to see the large metal sculptures that dot over thirty miles of this stretch of The Enchanted Highway. The big metal grasshopper, the deer jumping over a bridge and the tin family reminiscent of The Tin Man from Wizard of Oz are just a few of the sculptures that may dot your family photo album if you make this area a part of your North Dakota vacation. Oh, and the other reason that it’s good for families is that, other than the cost of gas, this attraction is free!

Jamestown

Less mobile families might want to confine their North Dakota vacation to the limited area of one small town. If that’s the case, you might consider Jamestown for your vacation. It is the hometown of westerns author Louis L’Amour, jazz singer Peggy Lee and the rare albino buffalo “White Cloud”. It is also the current home of a huge buffalo sculpture known as “the world’s largest buffalo” which can be found at a visit to the city’s National Buffalo Museum near historic Frontier Village. And you won’t be lacking for summer activities in Jamestown because it’s also home to the Jamestown Reservoir where three lakes come together to provide a spot for swimming, boating and other water adventures.

Native American History

North Dakota is a terrific state for taking a summer family vacation which revolves around Native American history. The Knife River Indian Villages is one historic site that your family may enjoy on this kind of vacation. You can see tipis, learning about the culture of the people of this area and see some beautiful natural landscape all at the same time. Another beautiful spot where such history can be explored is the Abraham Lincoln State Park which includes the On-A-Slant Mandan Village sharing the lives of the Mandan people.� The rich history of the American Indians can be found at various spots like these all throughout the state.

The North Dakota Badlands

Usually when you think about going to The Badlands, you think about a trip to South Dakota. But you can visit the North Dakota Badlands at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Stay in the nearby historic Old West town of Medora, take a scenic drive through the park and enjoy hiking, horseback riding and camping with the family.

Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in Indiana with your Kids

Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in Indiana with your Kids

Indiana is a state that has a variety of experiences to offer so that you can plan your family vacation around the type of travel that best suits you. Perhaps you really want to get away to a simpler life - then you can go visit the Amish country. Or maybe you want to give your kids the chance to go to amusement parks without having to foot the bill to get to Disneyworld. Maybe you’re just seeking a nearby city - such as Indianapolis - where you get some learning fun in that the whole family will enjoy. Whatever the case may be, Indiana probably has something for you.

Experience the Amish

The Amish people live an interesting life - without electricity, technology and other modern conveniences, these people spend their days working hard. The life they live is a simple one in which the emphasis is on family and community. Although we might not want to live without some of our amenities, we certainly do strive to teach our kids that a non-materialistic heart-focused life is a good one to have. Indiana offers the chance to show them what the Amish live like. Amish Acres and Amishville USA are two areas where families are welcome to experience this life. Visiting the farmer’s markets where they sell their goods is another way to get this experience.

Amusement Parks

Teaching the kids about the simple life is great, but your family also probably wants some family-oriented modern adventure during their summer vacation. Indiana has plenty of amusement and water parks to keep you all happy. Indiana Beach is a popular choice, with its roller coasters, kiddie rides, sand beaches and the option to lodge nearby in either hotels or campgrounds. Other amusement parks in Indiana include the Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari and the two top waterparks: Atlantis and Splash Down Dunes.

Explore Indianapolis

This big city offers much to do in the way of family activity, after all, their motto is “so easy to do so much”. The Children’s Museum, The American Super Heroes Museum and the Connor Prairie will also allow for a fun learning experience for the kids. The Indianapolis Zoo will keep the kids occupied for an entire day. And you’ll have to go back to its downtown neighborhood because it’s located in White River State Park which also has baseball games, an IMAX theatre and other activities for the whole family.

Santa Claus

Longing for a little bit of Christmas in July? There won’t be any snow, but the fun of going to a city like Santa Claus might make you feel a little of that exciting holiday energy. You can see the forty-ton concrete Santa Claus statue, go camping at the very family-friendly Lake Rudolph Campground, and get some goodies at the free-to-see Candy Castle.

Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in Illinois with your Kids

Thursday, March 13th, 2008
Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in Illinois with your Kids

What does the Midwest have to offer in terms of family summer vacations? If you make your way throughout the state of Illinois with your family this year, you’ll come home with more answers to that question than you might have expected. Of course, there’s the unique urban landscape of the metropolis that is Chicago which undeniably offers a lot of activity for you and your kids, but there are also interesting spots all throughout rural Illinois which might surprise you with their fun-filled family activities.

Chicago

A trip to Chicago with your family is an adventure that requires a page all on its own. This city is filled with rich cultural experiences, museums for families of all ages, a magnificent thriving arts scene and many activities that can’t be experienced elsewhere. It’s as urban as urban gets and offers a really unique experience whether your family is from an urban area such as New York or Los Angeles or from a rural area somewhere else in the country. The animals of the Lincoln Park Zoo, the astounding elevator ride and view from Sears Tower, the major league baseball games and the activities of Lake Michigan will all wow your kids and make for an exciting trip for your whole family.

The rest of Northern Illinois

Chicago may be the big attraction for spending time in Northern Illinois, but there is a lot to see and do in the quieter Northwest portion of the state as well. Take the kids hiking amidst the canyons and waterfalls of Starved Rock State Park. Visit Galena, where the historic main street will give the kids a glimpse into nineteenth century lifestyles and the historic sites will make for an education vacation. Take a trip to the Railway Museum in Union, IL. Or see something unique at the annual Sandwich Fair in Sandwich, IL.

West-Central Illinois

Heading south, but not too far south, you’ll find that the center strip of Illinois also has some fun activities for your family. These tend to be more in the area of nature and give the kids a chance to explore Illinois wildlife. A favorite here is the 2000 acre Wildlife Prairie State Park where wolves, cougars and bears can be seen from afar. History can come alive at the many Abraham Lincoln sites that exist in this area. And a day spent at the Amish Villages can give your kids a look at history played out in modern life. If the rural life in the area makes the kids too antsy, you can make a stop at inPlay, an interactive gaming and entertainment center that will make them go wild - and will probably wear them out!

Southern Illinois

Families which are traveling up from the south and only have a little bit of time to spend in the state won’t have to worry that there’s nothing to do because the southern portion of Illinois is also filled with activities. Outdoor activities are in abundance here, with activities along the Ohio River being a favorite of the area. River taxis are good for the more relaxed families while horseback riding and hiking in the area’s state parks are better for more active families. If you’re going to be driving through this part of the state, make sure you brush your kids up on their old Popeye cartoons and then go see the statue located in Chester, IL.

Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in Georgia with your Kids

Thursday, March 13th, 2008
Ideas for Family Summer Vacations in Georgia with your Kids

What do you envision for your summer vacation? Camping with your kids in a beautiful mountainous area? Adventuring at major theme parks, zoos and aquariums with your family? Or perhaps visiting historic sites and learning about the cultural diversity of an area that is different from where you live? Georgia offers all of these things so that families of all kinds can enjoy a summer vacation in this unique state. Here are just a few of the things that you and your family might enjoy if you take a trip to Georgia:

Animals

There are many different opportunities to spend the summer seeing different animals in Georgia. Zoo Atlanta is well-known for being one of the only zoos to feature an exhibit on Giant Pandas. And that’s not all that the state is known for, they’re about to open a new aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, which is going to be one of the largest aquariums in the world. There’s already a unique RiverQuarium in the state (in Albany, located in Southern Georgia), a Kangaroo Conservation Center, and a wild animal safari park.

Theme Parks

That wild animal safari park, Wild Adventures, is also a theme park features rides and shows across 170 acres of land. Of course, Georgia is also home to Six Flags Over Georgia and the Six Flags White Water Park. Additional amusement parks located throughout the state include Alpine Amusement Park, American Adventures and Stone Mountain Park, the latter of which is a 3300 acre theme park. Each of these parks offers something different for families spending their summer vacation in Georgia.

History & Culture

There are many different historical sites located throughout Georgia which you might want to share with your family this summer, but there are a few that are likely to be of particular interest. You can head north into the Georgia Mountains to experience the days of the gold rush in Georgia and even pan for gold with your family. A trip to the Georgia coast can take your family to Hog Hammock, where a unique African American community known as the Gullah lives out a traditional lifestyle that can educate your children about diversity. Even just a trip to Savannah is filled with history, since this city was the first city in America to be planned and designed before being constructed. Throughout the state, there is rich colonial and Civil War history to share with your children.

Museums

Of course, you can always head to the museums to experience some of that history in a more modern way. Museums in Georgia that are enjoyed by families visiting the area include Imagine It! (The Children’s Museum of Atlanta), Agirama Historic Village and Museum, Fernbank Science Center and Museum of Natural History (loved by kids for the big dinosaur exhibits), and the several lighthouse museums which dot the Georgia Coast.

Looking towards the future

If you’ve already got your summer vacation planned and Georgia isn’t it, you might want to think about making this state a destination for future vacations with your family. Not only is there clearly a lot to see and do here, but there’s also incentive for families visiting the state. That’s because Georgia is currently trying to encourage tourism in the area and is offering the Georgia Dream Pass which features obligation-free discounts on attractions in the state. Currently, the dream pass has just been launched and is only featuring golf-themed discounts but additional family-oriented discounts are said to be available soon. A great trip at a great price - what could be better?

Taking a Disney Cruise

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Are you thinking about taking a Disney cruise with your family?

 

Of course the thought has at least crossed your mind; after all, the kids get the fun of a Disney adventure while you can enjoy the relaxing benefits of a vacation on a cruise line. But you haven’t done it yet. Why? Maybe you think it’s too expensive or you think it’s something you should wait to do when the kids are a little bit older.  Not the case!  Taking a Disney cruise is an affordable option for families with kids of all ages, as long as a little planning goes into place.

 

The Disney cruise is a perfect introduction to cruise travel for families who have never taken a cruise before.

� It is specifically geared towards first-time cruisers and cruisers with kids so it has all of the amenities and on-board assistance that you might need should you have any concerns at all about cruise travel.

� The Disney Cruise line also knows that families are going to be on board and has a variety of activities for all ages so that everyone in the group can have a good time.

 

The Disney Cruise can take you to a number of different destinations so you can select something that’s right for your family.

� Maybe the cruise is a compromise vacation between your husband’s promise to you that he’d take you to the

Bahamas and his promise to the kids that they could do

Disneyland this year.

� A Disney Cruise to the

Bahamas satisfies everyone.

� Other destinations include the Mediterranean and the Mexican Riviera so you can give your family a cultural experience within the safety of the cruise ship.

 

Disney cruises are available for a range of different lengths of time so that your family can travel within the amount of time that you have available.

� Maybe you just have a long weekend and want to take a quick three-day cruise or perhaps you need to get the kids out of the house for an extended vacation over summer break and a ten-day cruise is more along the lines of what you had in mind

.� The Disney cruise offers packages at both ends of the spectrum to make sure your family travels for as long (or not) as need be.

 

Speaking of packages, Disney knows that kids are expensive and so there are regularly-offered deals for well-priced travel packages on the Disney cruise lines.

� You can find the deals yourself through the website, signing up in advance for notification of special offers, or you can work with a travel agent who specializes in Disney travel to get the best price on your cruise.

� A Disney cruise is certainly a luxury but it doesn’t have to cost like one!

Tips For Inexpensive Family Travel Fun - Take a Trip with Your Kids on a Budget

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Tips For Inexpensive Family Travel Fun - Take a Trip with Your Kids on a Budget

 

Family travel is an important part of a child’s growing-up experiences but it can often be the thing that puts the parents’ bank account in the red. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be that way.

 

You can have fun trips with your family on a regular basis without spending a fortune by sticking to a few simple travel tips that minimize your costs.

 

  • Think about your mode of travel.
    • � If you’ve got seven kids and an SUV, it might be most cost-effective to load them up and then go somewhere that isn’t too harsh on the gas mileage.
    • � If you’ve got one teenager who can listen to an mp3 player for hours on end, you might think about the cheap seats on a bus or train to get you to your travel destination.
  • Stick close to home.
    • � People think about going on vacation and they automatically think about the big destinations, be it Disneyland or Hawaiian beaches.
    • � However, there are plenty of unexplored towns in your own backyard which can make for inexpensive travel destinations.
    • � Exploring a new place as a family can be an adventure and it’s really exciting to find out what adventures are within a day’s driving distance from your home
    • � It makes home that much more interesting!
  • Sleep cheap.
    • � Hotels are one of the biggest expenditures for family travel so do what you can to find inexpensive places to stay.
    • � Travel to destinations where you have friends or family that would be happy to put you up for a night.
    • � Do some Internet research on kid-friendly hotels where children under a certain age can stay for free.
    • � Or consider camping out in the family tent.
  • Eat light.
    • � Food is the other big expenditure on family travel that can cause the budget to go into bank-breaking levels.
    • � Eating out at restaurants and fast food places can get pricey if you’re doing it three times a day just because you’re on vacation.
    • � Stop at the grocery store as soon as you’ve arrived at your travel location to reduce the food costs of your family travel.
  • Do free stuff wherever you go.
    • � Vacations tend to involve a lot of time spent finding stuff to do.
    • � That can mean spending money, but it doesn’t have to mean that at all.
    • � Check local newspapers and tourist websites to find the free events and low-admission locations in every city.
    • � There’s plenty of stuff to do in every destination and you don’t have to pay big bucks to do it.
  • Plan ahead for the bigger trips.
    • � Okay, so usually you do the close-to-home vacations but you do want your kids to see Mickey Mouse or Honolulu before they grow up.
    • � That’s fine; just know that you can do it a lot cheaper if you plan in advance.
    • � Look for deals, save up your frequent flier miles, and travel in the off-season to avoid spending much money on those bigger trips.

Last Minute Family Trips - Ideas for You and Your Kids to Take Last Minute Vacations

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

You and Your Kids Should Take that Last Minute Family Trips - Ideas for Last Minute Family Trips 

You didn’t think that you were going to be able to take a vacation with the kids this year but then something changed and now you’re ready to take off at the last minute on a family trip.

 

� Maybe you got a bonus at the job that gives you the extra spending money or perhaps you just admitted to yourself that another week home alone with the kids on their summer vacation would drive you batty.

 

� Whatever the case, you’re ready to go somewhere with the whole brood but you don’t have a lot of time to do your trip planning.

 

� What do you need to think about in the days before you take off?

� First off, consider where you can realistically go on vacation given your budget and your family dynamics. � Yes, it’s tempting to just hop on a plane and go to

Disneyland because you know that the kids will have fun there, but is that the best use of your spontaneous vacation time?

 

� Usually, if you’re doing a trip last minute, it ends up costing you some bucks, so it’s a better idea to stick close to home and to avoid major tourist destinations which take advantage of the last minute family in terms of cost.

 

� Besides, your teens might actually be happier doing some shopping at a new mall in a nearby town or seeing a concert during a family trip than putting on the Mickey Mouse ears.

� You should also think about who you want to see on your vacation. � Last minute trips can be really stressful and you don’t want to add to that by agreeing to visit relatives that you don’t actually enjoy spending time with. � Save the big family vacation for a planned reunion and take advantage of your spontaneous urge to travel by enjoying a new destination with your immediate family. � Alternatively, maybe you just need a break from the day-to-day grind with the kids and heading to Grandma’s house can give you that much needed break. � Think about why you decided to go on vacation with your family and who you want to see to realize that reason. � Finally, don’t sacrifice safety for spontaneity. � One of the biggest mistakes that families make when they take last minute vacations is that they get so enmeshed in the details of pulling off a last minute trip that they forget to take care of important things that need to be taken care of to keep the kids safe. � If you’re traveling by car, this means taking that extra day at home to make sure the maintenance on the car has been done. � If you’re going to a foreign destination, this means double-checking that your kids’ vaccinations are all in place. � Sure, it’s nice to be spontaneous with your family but not at the cost of being unsafe. � Last minute family trips can provide some of the most memorable vacation experiences that you’re family will ever have. � Your kids will say one day, years after the trip, “hey, remember that time that we decided to go explore that little town in the northern part of the state?” � Or you’ll be visiting Grandma and she’ll reminisce about that great long weekend when you unexpectedly turned up with the kids. � Just make sure that you put your important items in order before you leave even if you’re taking off mostly on a whim.

Disney Hotels When Visiting Disney World

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Disney Hotels When Visiting Disney World 

Disney World Florida is more than just a theme park -  it’s a destination.

 

� And part of the Disney World experience is the stay at a Disney Hotel.

 

� With over twenty different Disney hotels to choose from, it can be mind-boggling to figure out which one is the best for your family’s experience of this fun destination.

 

� But if you know the basics about how Disney hotels are classified, then you’ll be able to narrow down your options and choose the right vacation package for your Disney trip.

� There are four different types of Disney hotels to choose from when you visit Disney World:
  1. Value Resorts
  2. Moderate Resorts
  3. Deluxe Resorts
  4. “Home Away From Home” Resorts
� The major difference between these categories is the cost of the hotel stay, but within each category are different types of resorts that you can choose from. � The rates increase starting with value and going up to the most expensive “home away from home” resorts (also known as “vacation club” resorts). � Rates change regularly, but the average price that you’re looking at per night for rooms within each category is, respectively, $80, $145, $215 and $279. � So, the first thing to do will be to narrow down the cost that you’re willing to spend on your Disney World hotel and then you can choose from within that cost frame to find the Disney hotel that has the features and amenities which you desire. � In other words, if you know that you don’t want to spend more than $200 per night, you’re either going to need to look only at the value and moderate resorts or you’re going to need to look at deals offered on the others. � Within each of these categories, you’ll find that there are 3 - 10 hotels that fit the price range, so you should be able to find a Disney hotel that sounds right for you. � For example, there are three different Disney Value Resorts; one is centered on movies, one on sports and one on music. � If your family is a budget-conscious music-loving family,. The Walt Disney World All Star Music Resort could be right for you. � In contrast, if you’re really splurging on your big vacation and there are more teens and adults in your group than young kids, you might be more inclined to look at the Walt Disney World Villas at the Disney Institute which is a “Home Away From Home” resort featuring villa-style accommodations and on-site golf courses. � To learn more about each of these different Disney hotels and what they can offer to your family when you head to your

DisneyWorld vacation, check out the Walt Disney World website and the Disney Vacation Guide.
