(Maybe this may have even been more suitable for the Teens section?)
Has anyone ever used this? I found it unusual for "visitors" to have to pay for a "park pass," but it looks like a great learning module and a fun way to get kids interested in traveling at a young age. (I only took the free tour.) Is it worth it? ]]> LeeDunlap http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8467 http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4687&goto=newpost Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:43:55 GMT Yep, Disney can definitely be too much for a toddler. And I've not found many resorts that have kids programs for the toddler age group. Most of the resort kids' programs are for children starting around age 5. The exception to that is ski areas, where there are often childcare programs for many ages, including infants and toddlers. Some Club Meds have toddler programs as do a few other places, but it's not all that common. And parents of toddlers need a break more than anyone! ]]> lauras http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4687 http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7900&goto=newpost Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:18:54 GMT Definitely would include leshiboux gites in western france for the array of fun and games on offer and also villa san raffaello in marche italy with climbing frames, pool, games DVDs and a fantastic lively medieval town nearby Definitely would include leshiboux gites in western france for the array of fun and games on offer and also villa san raffaello in marche italy with climbing frames, pool, games DVDs and a fantastic lively medieval town nearby ]]> JimDoors http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7900 http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7781&goto=newpost Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:34:47 GMT In Europe there are also many skiing resorts, like f.ex Italy.

Many are up high luckily, like on the desk, but there are lots on the floor too. I love the tip about duct tape, but we have started calling the hotel to see if they have outlet covers and if they don't we carry our own. ]]> linda http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4488 http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5557&goto=newpost Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:31:35 GMT It is tedious! I use books too - board books and our baby could hold them luckily and would look through them for quite a while. I also tied toys to the carseat so they wouldn't end up on the floor and threaded cheerios on a string of red licorice but that turned out to be a great big mess so i wouldn't recommend it. ]]> linda http://www.familytravelforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5557
