For many families, the Thanksgiving weekend represents one of the few times that the entire family can get together, and a great way to celebrate that is by planning a family vacation over that weekend. For many places, especially those in warmer climates, winter is a busy time, and they are able to raise rates considerably over the Christmas holidays. Opting to take a family vacation before the winter rate increases will give families the opportunity to experience all that these places have to offer, without having to pay the "higher holiday" price ticket.
There are many places that offer package deals for Thanksgiving weekend, and in some cases, these packages are all inclusive. An all inclusive package is often a very inexpensive option because everything from the room and meals to entertainment and even the special Thanksgiving dinner are included in the price.
Here is a look at some very family friendly destinations that are pretty reasonably priced, considering what they offer.
