Remember the famous Disney World TV advert, where children and adults stayed up all night before heading to the world famous theme park? Well, on the 24th May 2013, Disney World in Orlando is making that dream a reality by opening the resort for 24 hours straight. Marking the release of new film Monster’s University and the start of Memorial Weekend in the USA, families are promised a theme park…

If you have young children and you’ve just entered the years where you have to take holidays in the school holidays only, it’s a bit of a rude awakening to discover just how much the prices go up during these times. And with schools being so strict about taking kids out of term time, you really don’t have much of a choice about when you take family holidays anymore.
But never fear! There…

True, it doesn’t have the most child-friendly reputation but I discovered it actually offers a lot in the way of entertainment. If the idea of Disneyland Paris fills you with dread then consider this short-haul alternative.

It can be claustrophobic, chaotic and extremely stressful, especially if you’re lugging about large prams, shopping and small children.
Have you ever landed on a beach? Well, that’s what expects you when you arrive at Lanzarote airport and this sets the scene for the holiday. Lanzarote is an incredible island, with landscapes resembling nothing like you’ve seen before. White beaches, black volcanic beaches, gulfs that seem strange mixes of lunar and infernal landscapes.
