Florida Family Fun The family fun-o-metre keeps going up in Florida
“I
’ve been to Florida more times than I can count, but each new visit brings with it new memories to cherish,” says Brianne Wells, Maritime Travel advisor, Sunnyside Mall, Bedford, NS. “It is an ever-changing landscape of family fun, with new attractions bigger and more exciting than the last. It’s my go-to for anyone looking for a high-octane getaway with the gang.” With its theme parks, beaches, shopping and attractions Central Florida really is an amazing destination for families. If you really want to make the most of your visit, and not miss out on any of the magic, be sure to plan your trip with your Maritime Travel advisor. “A well-planned, day-to-day itinerary is the key,” Brianne says.
When it comes to choosing accommodations the popularity of multi-generational travel has caused an upsurge in the appeal of holiday homes—especially in the Orlando area. Parents, kids—even grandparents— can all stay together in one place, have their own areas and rooms, and it’s much more affordable than staying in a hotel. Add your own private pool, a games room and all the comforts of home, and you have a vacation like no other. And don’t forget, beyond the theme parks, there are lots of other familyfun options, including factory outlet shopping trips, airboat rides, hot air balloon excursions, and more.
*Minimum purchase required and amount may vary by tour operator. For bookings made Sept. 1 to Nov. 30, 2019, excluding Sunwing & Signature Vacations (Oct. 1-31). Not applicable to last-minute departures, air-only, group bookings or bookings made online at maritimetravel.ca. Merchandise available while supplies last and may not be exactly as shown.

reating families to a good time is what Disney does best, so it’s no surprise that the originator of the theme park concept caused a revolution in family cruising when it translated its entertainment sensibilities to the high seas. “For the definitive family getaway, nothing beats a Disney cruise,” says Jane Hunt, Maritime Travel advisor, Clayton Park, Halifax, NS. “There’s simply so much fun and entertainment for both kids and the young-at-heart—by which I mean the rest of us!” Disney cruises are all about bringing families together to create magical memories with incredible and original onboard entertainment, dazzling parties and character-themed excursions to exciting destinations like the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and Alaska. “The onboard service is outstanding and each of the many dining venues is an experience in itself,” says Jane. Here are just two recommended itineraries for families looking to travel the high seas in high style with Disney.

CRUISING FOR CHRISTMAS— 4-NIGHT VERY MERRYTIME BAHAMIAN CRUISE “As you would expect, holiday cruises with Disney go way beyond seasonal onboard decorations and visits from Santa. Instead of shovelling snow and spending backbreaking hours in the kitchen, get ready for wonderful multi-course holiday meals prepared by professional chefs, stellar entertainment with your favourite characters, and lots more warm-weather celebrations.” Recommended for you by
