ByAdelle Belnap

Hey, it’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. Once Memorial Day weekend is over, the summer officially begins and my kids start begging for some summer fun.

Here are six activities you can set up to turn your backyard into Disneyland. This would work at a nearby park, too, for hours of Disneyland fun:

Family Vacation in Phoenix ~ Hot Summer Deals! (she: Allison)

Byallison l.

Hi! It’s Allison from Tips for Family Trips. I’m excited to be back at Or So She Says to share my tips for getting a fantastic deal on a family-friendly luxury resort this summer.

Budget travelers know that the off-season is the best time to score deals at resorts that might be financially out of reach at other times of the year. It’s always the off-season somewhere, and during the busy summer travel season, that somewhere is Phoenix, Arizona.

Camping with Kids ~ My BEST Tips Revealed!

ByLindsay

Hey all! It’s Lindsay from Lindsay Ross Blog. Now that it’s warming up in Utah (well, winter never really happened here this year but don’t get me started on that disappointment) I’m starting to think about our adventures for the summer and warmer weather.

When I talk about camping for us, I’m talking in a tent, no running water, no toilets, out in the wilderness kind of camping. I’m not a big fan of campgrounds. People are too close. It’s too loud. People are too close. You know. We like our space when camping. And peace. And generally we don’t get cell service up there so we don’t get distracted by real life (always a plus in my book). So we make an effort to do full-on camping. Takes quite a bit more prep work, but we think it’s worth it for the experience.

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today.

With that said, I definitely have some Disneyland tips for the pregnant mom.

Our Royal Caribbean Cruise Review

Our Royal Caribbean Cruise Review

ByMariel

I just recently returned from the most AWESOME cruise. I’ve been so anxious to tell you about it, because I think it should definitely be on your ‘future vacations’ list. We love it so much that actually we’re doing the exact same cruise at the end of the year. The only difference… we’re bringing the kids on the next one. We did so many fun things on the ship and at our ports that I knew my kids would be in heaven. So, there ya go… annual family vacation decided.

Read all about our cruise… what we loved, didn’t love, and what we recommend!

Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary Sneak Peek (she: Kimberly)

ByKimberly w/Get Away Today

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. If you’ve read my posts before, you know that we LOVE Disneyland. And if you haven’t heard, this is a big year for the Disneyland Resort. It’s Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary and it’s going to be amazing! I was lucky enough to be invited to a special sneak peak a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share a little bit of what’s coming with you.

First of all, the event will kick-off May 22, 2015 and it’s going to be huge. For starters, since it’s Disneyland’s Diamond Celebration, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle and the Carthay Circle Theatre are getting diamond makeovers. When I was there, the castle was being worked on around-the-clock and although it was a little sad to see sheets and scaffolding, the final result will be well worth it.
