What Should You Expect In Holiday Vacation Getaway With Family
Filed Under Travel & Leisure
Thanksgiving may be the season for expressing hopes, but it’s difficult to feel grateful when you remember the normal hassles accompanying this holiday. Cooking is the largest dilemma and in most cases, it frustratingly falls on just one or two women’s shoulders to prepare a huge spread for the entire family. And then there’s the matter of preparing the house to accommodate all visiting friends and loved ones.
Spend Thanksgiving Away from Home
If you want a hassle-free weekend this Thanksgiving, treat yourself and everyone else to a relaxing weekend getaway for the holiday. Perhaps an Hawaii vacation. Here are a few vacation deals to give you an idea of what to look for.
Bolton, Landing, New York: The Sagamore
This Lake George facility has a variety of special holiday deals to offer. Expect to pay at least $349 but this already comes with breakfast and, of course, holiday dinner. Children below 18 may stay in your suite without extra charge and those with three-night bookings can stay for an extra night for free.
Crested Butte, Connecticut: Resort Quest
Call the number for Resort Quest, ask for the Crested Butte Holiday Package, and families of four will pay less than $800 to ski their way to their two-bedroom suite and make use of lift tickets for three wonderful days. But first you have to pray that snow comes early!
Florida: Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and Amelia Island
Groups of four won’t have to spend more than $180 when they get to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The 2,400-acre facility promises a comfortable night’s stay in a 2-bedroom suite and endless fun for all the family with their kid zone, boogie snow boarding, kayaking, a visit from Santa, and many other family-oriented activities. In Amelia Island, you’ll just have to pay $50 for a one-night visit and the opportunity to pretend that Thanksgiving took place in warm weather while you sail off in a chartered boat or play racket ball or volley ball under the warm Florida sun.
New York: Regency Hotel
A condo good for six to eight people can go as low as $539. Dinner at the hotel is priced at $49 with a 50% discount for children but you can always have the hotel serve your Thanksgiving dinner for you and nineteen other guests in your suite. Don’t forget to watch Macy’s traditional Thanksgiving Day parade.
Orlando, Florida: Walt Disney World
Magic is floating in the air once you stepped inside the Walt Disney World. Suites are quite affordable, starting at just $39 but you should also consider taking advantage of packages that include discounted theme park passes. To celebrate in the tradition of Thanksgiving, watch out for holiday fireworks and parades as well as the tree-lighting ceremony held every night.
Puerto Rico: Wyndham El Conquistador Resort
As there’s no rules that say Thanksgiving has to be spent in winter cold, why not fly off to this Puerto Rican resort? For a little less than $200 per night, you can experience the resort’s ongoing Family Getaway By Request promo. The special package also includes a 50% discount if you book a second room for your kids, two-for-one spa, complimentary kids’ camp, and many other privileges. The promo also waives payment for your fourth night and children below 12 years old can get meals for free.
