The number one thing to consider is the airline you choose to fly. Some airlines seem to be more ‘child friendly’ than others. Take the time to ask questions, in regard to their policy on traveling with little ones before making actual reservations. A pleasant flight is worth the extra research it might take.
Packing finger foods such as cheese sticks, pretzels, dry cereal and fruit tidbits, in your carry-on bag, will help their children adjust to high altitudes and in the cabin pressure changes.
If your children are smaller, giving them a pacifier, bottle or even a sippy cup will help to keep their little ears from popping.
During the summer months, many children complain of being bored. If this is a constant complaint from your children, you can cure their boredom by getting them involved in art projects that can stimulate their minds and maybe even help foster some talent.
First, you will want to find creative ways in order to get your child to want to do the projects. If you just tell them to color a picture, they might be reluctant. But, if you tell them to make decorations for your next cookout or pool party, they can have fun and get involved with your party plans in some way.
Another great project for kids is to let them decorate flower pots that you will use to brighten up your backyard deck or front yard. You can even get them to help you plant the flowers as well, letting them pick out the colors or types of flowers that will grow there.
The biggest part of getting children to do art projects is to give them the motivation for creating something new, something that they have never done before. Pretty soon, you children will be coming up with their own art projects to keep them from being bored.
If you are planning a Disney vacation, there are several ways you can save money doing so.
First of all, plan your own trip, if possible. This takes some effort on your part, but in the long run it is definitely worth it. There are countless Disney-related travel sites, online, where you can conduct your research.
Souvenirs are an almost unavoidable part of any vacation. But, you can save a substantial amount of money if you purchase them at Downtown Disney, as opposed to the park, itself.
Another great way to save money is to split a lunch. This works especially well for children who don’t eat a lot. Most of the counter service restaurants will sell you an extra bun, for right around $1. Order a double cheeseburger meal and transfer one patty to the extra bun. Top with condiments also available at the counter.
Split the fries and drink and you have just saved almost 50% on lunch!
