Been a change of plans and I now need to take my 2 children with me on vacation. We're is the best family destination to go to?

That’s a pretty general question! Costa Rica, Kauai, Walt Disney World, etc. All depends on what you want to do, budget, time of year, etc. Google my be a good start.

Disneyland? Although any location can be a great family vacation. I would take my kids to East or South Africa in a heartbeat.

I have a 1 year old and 5 year old. Never been any were before so unsure of places. We don't want to do Disney land as that's to much money.

Also for Dec 5th and want to try to stay at cheap as possible

Take them to Banff for the weekend. Lots to see/do and won’t waste money on flights, exchange rates, etc. Travelling anywhere further with a 1yo will be a struggle!

Hotel Villa Mexicana, Zihuatanejo
Family friendly and beach front! Great little resort with planned activities for kids!

Mexico has great deals for children. San Diego, just depends where u want to go, what u want to do, and budget.

We went to Cabo Mexico it seemed very family friendly the kids had so much fun

Ages? We loved Costa Rica!

1 and 5

When kids are older definitely do CR!

At those ages, they dont really care as long as there's a pool!! They also wont remember an epic vacation so spend your pennies wisely! Mexico is reasonable given the CDN $ vs MXN peso.....

Carole true. Our youngest was near 6 on this trip. My sister had a 3 yr old.

We were going to go to Costa Rica but now we have the kids and wasn't sure if that was an appropriate place for a 1 year old

Reese personally I would wait. Unless you did just a resort there. We did more of an adventure trip there. And I think under age 6 might be bit tougher

That's what I was thinking, something we can stay on a resort by the ocean but I would love to find some of waterfalls and swim there to

Reese we stayed here and loved it!

That's beautiful!!!

Erin do you have contact info for this place?

Teresa yes. I'll pm. We loved it!

Mexico also fun.
Depends on the type of holiday you are looking for

Do a family oriented cruise.

Disney ... and if you want some "me" time do a Disney cruise. If your kids are tweens, Princess Cruises have fun teen clubs.

Disney Aluani is amazing! (Oahu) and has a 30% offer on right now, Atlantis Bahamas, Disney world or land is a given soooooo fun BUT my favorite vacation is cruising with Carnival for a great less expensive trip AND kids get camp ocean, and cat in the hat experience. Depend on the ship they have AMAZING water parks, pools
, shows, minigolf, sports pled and even obstacle courses in the air! I can give you so much info on most of the ships and itineraries with carnival. P.S. I'm not an agent just LIVE to cruise and travel

I'm terrified to boats and open ocean also get horrendous motion sickness

You'd be surprised with these ships. They have such amazing stabilizers in them you can hardly feel the sway. I highly recommend Hawaii and if you do Mexico stay on the Carribean side like Cancun, playa, Ixtapa and stay away from the Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo side. The water isn't clear, streets are rough. I saw above you were mentioning you wanted something cheaper.....what does your family like to do? And what's your budget/how many days? And do you all have your passports? Your kids are pretty young so makes it a bit more difficult but will totally help you find a great destination if you'd like

We just got back from 10 days in Maui too. I do recommend Maui for more of a laid back trip

Playa del carmen, Mexico

Randene St. Amour
Mexico to the sandos caracol

Mexico
Mayan riviera
We stayed at Bahia principe tulum
Get a hold of the Travel Angel, she’s great and can recommend a decent resort at a good price
Do the cenotes (we loved dos ojos) and do tulum
Akumal beach is great for snorkelling
I took my kids at 3 and 6 and we did zip lining and parasailing with them too!!
