Slinky Dogs coils twist and turn around the curves, hills, and drops of Slinky Dog Dash at Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The family-friendly coaster is inspired by the hit Pixar Animation Studios Toy Story films, and is Disney’s first coaster with a double-launch.

Azul Beach
Pina Colada Time at All-Inclusive Beach Resorts
The all-inclusive Karisma Hotels & Resorts, known for their Gourmet Inclusive Experience, offers more than just a luxe beach vacation. They’ve got deals that are 45 percent or more off and, in some cases, kids are free.
The key is to choose the right resort for your family.
Generations Resort Riviera Maya by Karisma, for example, is designed for multigenerational groups with the largest suites in the Caribbean. Picture a home away from home except with butler service and organized activities for the kids. Save half with current deals.
Azul Beach Resort Riviera Maya by Karisma, also in Mexico, is especially popular with young families as it’s got everything you need for your baby or toddler as well as canopied beach beds to cuddle up, kids’ activities, water sports, spa and great eats. You’ll find two other Azul Beach Resorts in Mexico and one in Negril, Jamaica. Save 45 percent (depending on your dates) with kids’ free specials until the end of the year.
There’s mass sliming and the same big deal at the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana. It’s not only a five-star in the Dominican Republic, it’s also the only Nickelodeon resort in the world. Each of the 208 guest rooms is decorated with a Nickelodeon™ twist and kids love the huge Aqua Nick water park.
New England Loves Snow
If your family would rather hit the slopes than the beach, head to Maine. How many places can boast ski hills with ocean views? Welcome to Maine’s Camden Snow Bowl, home to one of the world’s best toboggan runs — 400 feet long.
Maine is home to two large ski resort — Sunday River and Sugarloaf — but there are plenty of smaller, less expensive ones like Camden Snow Bowl and miles of grandparent-friendly snowmobile, cross country ski and snowshoe trails across the state, many in open fields, state and local parks. My new Kid’s Guide to Maine is a great stocking stuffer to bring along.
Since January is Learn a Snow Sport Month, several Maine resorts offer discounted lift tickets and group lessons – for all age beginners — in skiing and snowboarding. Save when you book lodging and lift tickets together at places like Sunday River’s cozy ski-in/ski-out lodge.
Gear up at L.L. Bean’s giant store in the town of Freeport, Maine, where you’ll also find lots of outlet stores for more bargains. All ages can indulge in Portland’s eclectic food scene, too.
And, it’s always fun to take a walk in a Maine snowstorm.
Happy Travels!
