Summer is over, sadly. Kids are back (or about to be) in school , and things will settle back into that routine. I hope you all had a wonderful summer, full of happy times and treasured memories. As we settle into our fall routine, sports,  activities, academic pursuits, its easy to forget that school vacations bring opportunities to travel, and make memories that last a lifetime.

The question is, what to do with that opportunity? In the past my first answer was WALT DISNEY WORLD! While that is still a great answer, it turns out its not the only answer.

Cruising is a great way to not only spend time together, but to have an all inclusive vacation, see other parts of the world, and feast on the amazing food choices available on board. Disney of course offers a great cruise experience, but if you are looking for something different, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian offer amazing ports, ships and experiences.

What about a family trip to Europe, Asia, Africa?

We have so many options when it comes to family travel. Adventures by Disney offers group tours to some of the worlds greatest destinations. Not only Disney Guides, but local guides at each stop provide a look at the local culture and provide experiences that immerse your family in the destination.

Not into a group travel experience? We can curate a trip catered to you alone, that will check off that bucket list destination, and bring your family experiences you will never forget.

Maybe its a week on a beach in an all inclusive, everything included where you take a few day excursions, but surround yourself in the beauty of a central location with all your meals and activities taken care of, with little to no effort on your part the entire time. We have a ton of family destinations to pick from.

So give a little thought as you pack lunches this week, about how you will spend the precious time you have together while they are still yours to have around. That time is fleeting. Don’t waste it.
