Family trips are the best, but planning them can feel like a lot. This checklist keeps it simple so you can book with confidence.
Before you search
- Set a total budget for the whole trip, not just the hotel
- Write down everyone’s ages. Many prices and room options depend on them
- Check school calendars for the best dates
- Decide: drive or fly?
Pick a kid-friendly trip
- Theme parks: big fun, but plan your park days and rest days
- Family resorts: look for kids’ clubs, splash pads and family suites
- Cruises: lots of activities for every age, and you only unpack once
When you book
- Make sure the room fits everyone comfortably
- Check what’s included: breakfast, parking, resort fees
- Read the cancellation policy, because plans with kids can change
Before you leave
- Check ID and passport requirements for every traveler, kids included, as early as possible
- Pack snacks, chargers and something to do for the trip there
- Save your confirmation numbers in one place on your phone
