family members within the resort is an amazing feature! It makes me think of how many times those amusement parks must have been faced with frantic parents or a frightened child who wandered away from his parents, and had to find a solution. It is true, that families with children at various age levels may make the decision to split up inside the park. A father may go off in one direction with his 11 year old who wants to go on fast rides, and the toddler stays with the mother. Eventually this family will meet for lunch or whatever the case may be, and can communicate times and directions. Of course, nearly everyone has a cell phone these days including the kids, so perhaps the communication devices are becoming dinosaurs.

Nevertheless, if that isn't enough, I have learned that a family heading to the larger amusement resorts, can reserve time for their kids to attend a "kid camp" while there, which gives the parents some free time, and surprisingly, you can book a baby sitter to stay with your children in the hotel room, should the parents need a time out!

At any rate, amusement resorts make traveling with children a snap! If you plan ahead, they offer advance booking rates and other packages that may include airfare, hotel and transportation. Often times, there are admission discounts and special passes available. So take the time to investigate your options. Take a look on line and quite often there are "on line discounts" for booking your amusement resort vacation from their website. Expenses can get high, so if you are on a budget, you can still have a wonderful vacation, if you take the time to look for good rates in advance.

Amusement resorts cannot make it any easier to travel with children of all ages. Your children will have ear-to-ear smiles from beginning to end, and so will the parents!
