Dreading Your Vacation...Some Ideas to Make It Morre Fun

Are you dreading summer because of an upcoming family vacation? Here are some tips to increase the fun and decrease the anxiety during your next vacation.
1) Begin planning by not over plan things to do. Having things planned for every waking moment of your trip just makes everyone tired and cranky. Living in the happiest place on earth, I have watched many families make this mistake and I am here to tell you that it doesn't end pretty.

2) Plan things to do during the traveling. Kids who are kept busy during traveling, will arrive a lot happier. Whether you are driving or flying doesn't matter, pack snacks (separate bag for each of you works well) and bring some book and games for all members of the family.

3) Try to stay in one place. Packing and moving around can be very stressful.

4) Use public transportation when possible. Driving around in a place that is unfamiliar can be stressful and nothing makes people crankier than getting lost on a trip.

5) Family members have different interests, try to plan an activity for each family member's interest. Doing the things that each member loves with them may bring your family members closer together.
