Best destinations for a family-friendly Spring Break

The best destination for a family-friendly Spring Break Is Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Everyone, I mean every single person on the planet should visit Disney World. It is a wonderful, wonderful, "magical" experience that will brighten your spirits and enrich your heart. From the very first second you enter the property, you know you're going to have a life altering experience that will have you smiling for years and years to come.

There are resorts and vacation packages available for every budget, and no matter which one you pick, your family will be treated as if you were visiting your best friends; with warmth, respect, thoughtfulness, and great cheer!

My wife Diane and I stayed at the All Star Movie Resort, and we were treated like "stars"! It was so much fun. In minutes we were checked in, freshened up in our room, and out the door on our way to see the sights. In a genius stroke, all the Disney employees are known as "Cast Members" (all of them), so they all know and actively feel that they are a "big part" of "your" Disney vacation. As a result, every single one of them, goes way beyond what you would ever expect them to do to make your Disney vacation "truly magical". I have never in my life felt more warmly welcomed anywhere!

Diane and I spent the better part of our arrival day using all the varying means of transportation from buses, to monorails, to boats, to walking, to experience and grasp the size of Disney World and to link up with other family members staying at other resorts on the property. Disney has perfected the movement of massive numbers of people, fast, efficient, and safely. In no time, we were united with our family members staying at the Port Orleans Resort.

We laughed and joked for hours while the kids played and splashed in the magnificent pools. The grounds were immaculate, the drinks cold, the food hot, the service fantastic! When everyone was ready, we took a boat ride to Downtown Disney and went shopping in the stores, bought really neat presents for family at home, and then took a bus to the Disney Yacht Club Resort. There's a really neat restaurant called "Beaches and Cream" that has fantastic burgers and unbelievable desserts. The Cast Members put on a show every time a guest orders a dessert called a "Kitchen Sink". It's terrific!

After we ate, and enjoyed the show, we walked the grounds around the resort. It was breathe-taking. It's like Heaven on Earth!

All that you've read is just from the first half of our arrival day! Diane and I spent four more full days experiencing the parks, the people, the animals, the shows, the sunsets, the fireworks! It was so wonderful! I had never taken a vacation in eighteen years (Diane and our children went to Disney a few times before, I just couldn't make it before this one). I absolutely had the best time of my life during that vacation, and I would definitely recommend that every single person on the planet make Disney World the number one place to visit every year! I can't wait to go back, as soon as humanly possible Diane and I will be there again (and again). Join us, share the "magic"! You won't regret it! Dreams do come true, especially at Disney World!
