What Kind of Holiday Vacation Fits Your Family?

Some families want fireworks and castle parades. Others want sunshine, cruise decks, or a quiet beach. Wherever you’re headed, we’ll help you plan a trip that fits your pace, priorities, and personality. Below are four of the most popular vacation styles we book during the holidays—each with its own kind of magic.

Parks

From Walt Disney World and Disneyland to Universal Orlando, the parks go all out for the holidays with seasonal parades, character events, and festivities. Great for families of all ages—especially first-time holiday travelers.

Cruises

Very Merrytime Cruises with Disney Cruise Line bring the holidays to sea—tree lightings, themed shows, meet-and-greets, and even “snow” on deck. We also book holiday itineraries with Royal Caribbean and Viking River Cruises for adults and multigenerational groups.

Resorts

If you want downtime without losing the holiday magic, try Aulani in Hawaii or one of Disney’s decorated resort hotels. We’ll help you pick the right location—festive and fun, or peaceful and pampered. And don’t overlook a few Disney Cruise destinations that feel like tropical resort escapes all on their own:

  • Castaway Cay: Disney's private island in the Bahamas, with pristine beaches, water sports, and tropical quiet—all with Mickey-shaped towels and Dole Whip nearby.
  • Lookout Cay: A new eco-conscious island destination that blends Bahamian culture, crystal waters, and exclusive Disney cruise excursions.

Beaches

If your idea of the holidays includes palm trees instead of pine trees, try an all-inclusive getaway to Sandals or Beaches Resorts. It’s the easiest way to get oceanfront rooms, holiday activities, and total relaxation—without the crowds.

We also plan select holiday itineraries to destinations like Grand Cayman, Mexico, and Europe, where families can explore new cultures while still enjoying Disney’s signature touch.

Which Holidays (and Milestones) Are Best for a Family Vacation?

Planning a vacation over the holidays can feel like juggling ornaments on a moving monorail—crowds, costs, and chaos included. But with a little expert help and a lot of holiday magic, your next Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s trip could be the one your family remembers forever. Here’s what to know before you book—and how our agents at Me and The Mouse Travel make it easy to trade stress for fun. Get in touch with one of our agents now for a free holiday vacation quote.

Whether you're dodging dinner stress, celebrating something big, or just chasing better weather, these are the travel-worthy dates our clients love most:

  • Thanksgiving: Perfect for cruises, beach resorts, or quick escapes. Skip the grocery list and enjoy a feast with a view.
  • Christmas: The most popular time to travel—for good reason. The earlier you plan, the more magic we can lock in.
  • New Year’s: Fireworks, countdowns, and warm weather? Yes please. Disney, cruises, and resorts go all out.
  • Spring Break: Ideal for cruises or early-in-the-year park trips before summer heat (and crowds) kick in.
  • Fall Break: Lower crowds and great weather make this a hidden gem for Disney or Universal vacations.
  • Graduations: High school or college, a celebration trip is the perfect way to mark the moment. Parks, cruises, or beaches—it all feels earned.
  • Long weekends: Think MLK Day, Presidents’ Day, or even July 4th. A few days off is all you need for a memory-maker.

If you're looking for a sign to skip the stress this year—this is it. Let’s make it a vacation worth remembering.

Holiday Vacation FAQs

When should I start planning a holiday vacation?

Ideally 6–12 months ahead, especially for travel during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s. Booking early gives you the best selection of resorts, cruises, flights, and dining reservations—plus time to snag limited holiday extras like character meals or ticketed events.

Are the parks or cruises too crowded during the holidays?

They’re definitely popular—but not impossible. With the right game plan, you can still see and do a ton. We help you navigate busy dates with smart park strategies, Genie+ tips, and breaks built into your itinerary so it actually feels like a vacation.

What should I pack for a holiday trip?

Layers (yes, even in Florida), festive outfits for photos or meals, a lightweight jacket, and anything small that makes it feel like the holidays—stocking stuffers, Santa hats, or twinkle lights for the hotel room. We’ll send a custom packing checklist based on your destination.

Do cruises or resorts do anything special for the holidays?

Yes! From tree lightings and carolers to holiday-themed shows, snacks, and fireworks, many destinations go all out. On Disney Cruises, you might even see “snow” on the deck. We’ll help you pick an experience that matches your family’s holiday vibe.

Is it worth traveling over Christmas or New Year’s?

For a lot of families, it’s the most memorable way to spend the holidays. It does cost more, and crowds are higher—but the atmosphere, decorations, and energy are one-of-a-kind. We help you weigh the pros and cons and plan accordingly.

What if we want to celebrate the holidays while away from home?

Lots of guests pack small gifts, bring battery-powered décor, or plan a special meal. Some resorts offer in-room trees or holiday turndown services. We’ll walk you through your options so you can keep your favorite traditions alive—just with a little more sunshine or pixie dust.
