San Diego
Our last family visit to San Diego, we stayed at Catamaran Resort and it was a slam dunk. First, we loved that it was steps to the bay. The bay has much calmer water and is perfect for little ones to play in the water safely. They have a fantastic restaurant on the resort, Oceana, which was incredibly accommodating to our plant based diet and delicious! The property is super family friendly with a large pool, an arcade, daily kid activities, live poolside music and beautiful birds and fish throughout the property! The Catamaran was a total hit for our crew and I can’t recommend it enough for families!
San Diego is packed with family friendly activities - it’s hard to do them all in one trip! I thought the San Diego Scenic Tour would give a great lay of the land of the must see spots. In Balboa park, the first stop, make sure to check out the train and the gardens! Another stop on the way, Little Italy, has farmers markets with the best fruit selection, and it's also home to my all time favorite restaurant, Cafe Gratitude! Of course you won’t have time to dine during the tour, but definitely make reservations for later! This tour also takes you to Coronado, the Gaslamp Quarter and Old Town- all must sees when visiting San Diego!
Orlando
I chose B-Resort and Spa as your stay in Orlando for a couple of reasons. First, I loved the proximity to Disney Springs®. There are so many amazing restaurants and many plant based vegan options- including Disney’s iconic Dole Whip which can be found at Marketplace Snacks. I am all about convenience when we travel and B-Resort really caters to families with their outdoor pool, laundry facilities, shuttle services to all four Disney Parks, on property breakfast restaurant and even rooms with bunk beds and cribs! If you have ever lugged a pack-and-play across the country, you know this is GOLD. Plus it's a quick 22 minute drive to/from the airport!
LEGOLAND. Need I say more? As the largest LEGOLAND park in the world, this is a must see for us! There are 11 different LEGO zones within the park- each with different themes. From trains, to lifesize LEGO characters, shows, and more than 50 different rides LEGOLAND is a perfect family day activity. Although LEGOLAND is perfect for builders of all ages, this park is sure to be a hit for children ages 2-12! And don’t forget there is a water park portion too!
