What Kind of Holiday Vacation Fits Your Family?

Some families want fireworks and castle parades. Others want sunshine, cruise decks, or a quiet beach. Our Chicago, IL, holiday vacation travel agents 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

If your family loves parades, fireworks, and festive character meet-and-greets, the parks are a great place to start. Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Orlando all deck the halls for the season.

Cruises

Bring the holidays to sea with Very Merrytime Cruises from Disney Cruise Line. With festive shows, decorations, and character events, it’s a crowd favorite. We also handle seasonal trips with Royal Caribbean and Viking.

Resorts

Need a slower pace but still want that festive sparkle? Aulani in Hawaii and Disney’s resort hotels offer both cheer and chill. Some Disney Cruise stops feel like all-inclusive resorts in disguise—don’t count them out.

  • 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 vibrant, culture-forward escape that mixes Bahamian art and nature with Disney hospitality and curated onshore adventures.

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.

Looking to cruise somewhere new this holiday season? We book sailings to Grand Cayman, Mexico, and Europe for families who want a new kind of holiday magic.
