Considering heading away on a family trip? You’re far from alone. Travel has been off the cards for most of us over the past couple years, with the majority of us trying to figure out how to best keep our little ones safe throughout the course of the pandemic. But as vaccines are being taken up and as countries are loosening their restrictions regarding social isolation, social distancing and the closure or strict passage across borders, more and more families are feeling increasingly comfortable planning a family getaway. There are so many perks to doing this. It can give you and your little ones a break from the routine of day-to-day life, seeing new places, experiencing new things and generally creating lasting and fond memories. Of course, if you’re going to head away, you are going to have to pack everything you need for both you and your kids to have a great time. Here are some essentials to remember!

Our First Family Vacation to Walt Disney World

Monday, February 28, 2022

This vacation was epic! A little positivity can go a long way. We didn't know what we were doing (although the new Genie app helped out a ton), but we had so much fun along the way. We did a little research on what rides we wanted to try before we headed to the park by watching as many Disney+ specials and YouTube videos we could. We didn't use an agent. We kind of spontaneously booked before we let anyone talk us out of it, but we have been wanting to go since 2020. Well, I have been wanting to go for years, but that's another story. I went to Magic Kingdom when I was 18 but haven't been back since. My husband and kids have never been. Since the kids didn't really want anything for Christmas, we decided to bite the bullet and give them this trip as their Christmas presents. Masks are now optional there and my family is fully vaccinated (that topic is not up for debate please and thank you).
