The least crowded time to visit Disneyland is during the week in the winter months (but it notes that some services may be reduced at this time of year).
I like the Talk About section. This is such a great resource of getting info from families that already visited somewhere that I’m interested in going to. Thanks so much.

I found the 7 must know airplane tips really helpful!
I like their Top ten travel tips when going to the Waterpark!
Stock up at home. Specialty items, such as sunscreen, film, batteries, over-the-counter medications, and first-aid supplies can be outrageously expensive in vacation spots.
I like the tip on how to book a vacation rental. It will come in handy.
I like knowing when to visit Las Vegas for less crowded times: when school is in session, mid week, just before Christmas.

Keeping a first aid kit is the tip that I found useful.
Love the souvenir shadow boxes. What a great idea to do with the kids.
The airplane tips are very helpful, especially since I have little ones.
Sunscreen wipes
While not always waterproof, these are quick to apply and provide ample coverage for days at the park or in the yard.
They have a great section on Travel Tips.

I liked the tips about free things to do in a city (such as museums and activities free in Chicago).
good triip tips to help make your trip more fun

Great Tip — Beat the crowds. Remember to head for popular attractions first thing in the morning or in late afternoon and early evening. Save the middle of the day for poolside fun or activities that take you off the beaten path and away from crowds.

A bit late in the year for this, but we are campers and I went right to the travel camping community area. the BEST tip I found was to make a MASTER LIST for camping. I cant believe we have not done this yet. We are not veteran campers, but geeez..I cant believe we hadnt thought of this!!!!!

Seeing as how we’ll be flying to California this month, I headed straight to the Air Travel Tips section. I found this handy tip: Book flights that depart early in the day, if possible. If your flight is delayed, you — and the airline — will have time to make other arrangements.

I learned some new airline safety tips: Fly nonstop,become familiar with the aircraft and let the airline know you’re flying with a child
I liked the “10 cities on a shoestring” tip which shows all the free things you can do.
I like this tip: “We’ve found it’s cheaper everywhere to rent a two-bedroom home or flat than it is to pay for two hotel rooms.” Thanks for the chance!
I liked all of the car travel tips for kids, very helpful! Especially the healthy travel snack ideas.
Budget carefully. Once you know what those broad parameters are, the next step is to think through your vacation budget in detail

I think it’s useful to keep a first aid kit. Simple but I don’t always have one.
I like the 10 Cities on a Shoestring article — great tips on where to go for cheap or free!! That’s always the first thing I do when traveling – try to find free stuff to do.
I liked their article “Car Games – Our Best Backseat Distractions”. I’m always looking for ideas for long drives.

I love the travel tips such as travel off season. Another favorite is give the kids a certain amount of money to spend for souvenirs and let them know they can’t spend more then that. That way they learn how to handle money and you won’t go broke.

When it’s over, it’s over
After an episode of misbehavior is finished you can let it go and move on. Don’t feel you must teach a lesson by withholding your approval, love or company. Children bounce right back, and it is okay for you to bounce right back, too.

Keep your distance. Unless on-site housing offers necessary convenience for your family, consider lodging that’s outside the major tourist area or city you’re visiting. An extra 15 minutes of travel can considerably reduce lodging expenses, especially if you’re staying more than a few days.
