Travel brings families together. It’s not always easy to find a vacation that caters to all ages but one unique company strives to give families of all generations that magical experience, and it’s their mission — Disney.
The world of Disney is designed by Imagineers to accentuate the cultural experience of each Disney theme park, cruise, land vacation and resort to create a dream vacation for every age group. They are known for their attention to detail, personal service and entertainment, which is just as memorable as the attractions themselves.
At Walt Disney World in Orlando, there are options for every price range, from budget to luxury, and everything in between. Families on a budget will love the rooms that hold up to five guests at the All-Star Resorts or go camping at Fort Wilderness. For those who want luxury accommodations, there are deluxe villas and suites available at a number of resorts including a 9-bedroom Royal Suite on the top floor of the Four Seasons Orlando.
For those who want to experience the famous Disney hospitality, food and entertainment without the theme park crowds and rides, a Disney cruise is an excellent choice. The kids will be mesmerized by all the fun offerings while parents and grandparents can enjoy the spa, port stops and adults-only dining and activities. Castaway Cay, the award-winning private island, provides Disney cruise guests with white sand beaches, snorkeling and sting ray experiences.
Adventures by Disney provide guided global land tours designed with experiential travel in mind for all generations to exotic destinations where you can visit giant pandas in China, go on safari in Africa, or snorkel the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. You can even take a family European river cruise in partnership with AMA Waterways.
Aulani Resort in Hawaii is imagineered with the Hawaiian culture to create a tropical paradise with a touch of magic. You can also visit Disney theme parks in Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Westlake families can reserve their dream vacations by contacting their neighbor, Lainey Melnick, the owner of the Westlake-area branch of Dream Vacations, 855-GR8-TRIP. Lainey has been a part of the Westlake community and an Eanes ISD parent for 20 years.
