The disney cruise is great they have programs for children of all ages and you can go and enjoy your time on the boat.  Do you think the kids will notice that you are gone with mickey and minnie around!!!!

I am also booked for beaches Boscobel at end of April-beginning of May.  I am going with my daughter who will be 2 years and 3 months old on the trip.   JFK or neward have direct flights for under $300 right now and Beaches resorts have discounts starting at end of April for one free night and then 45% off.  We are flying out of JFK direct flight with 3 adults and 1 2 years old for $ 4831.  We got the premium room wich was $200 more.  when are you thinking of going?  I can post back and let you know how the trip went.

Atlantis - does it have a baby club for one-3 year olds.. i think it is best suited for 3 and up like most resorts and they need to be potty trained??

Look into the Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island the Bahamas. It is a really cool hotel built and surrounded by the most beautiful aquariums, they have a family fun water park on the property for guest and a private no waves ocean lagoon for familes with small children. It is connected to the ocean, but protected from large oceanlife. We enjoyed it immensely.

Thanks.. yes we have looked into Beaches which would be our first choice.. just a little pricey right now for us.. we were looking to spend less than $3500 with airfare.. we are willing to go in April or May when prices are a little lower..

I doubt this is what your looking for, but it is a great place to go for a "kid-vacation". Great Wolf Lodge. Go to www.greatwolf.com. There are several locations to choose from. We are going to the one in Kansas City, KS this weekend.

It is so much fun for the kids, and for the husband (If he is in to hunting or fishing)....Most GWL's are near a Cabela's.

Hi Jennifer, Look into Dreams Cancun.  I have been there 3 times with my kids...from when my daughter was 6 months, then up to last year when they were 3 and 6.  They have a great kids club, but they have to be 3 years old to get in there, otherwise you need to arrange babysitting.  The beach is crystal clear and super calm.  The food is great, lots of choices for kids.  We love it there....hotel is on the older side but very clean and staff are awesome.

My friends took their whole family (3 kids, one disabled) to Beaches in Turks and Caicos and said it was the best vacation ever. Good luck. p.s. I have banned Jamaica from my travel destinations because they have a less than stellar record on human rights violations and human slavery/trafficking. I'd stick to US territories like the virgin islands or puerto rico- better protection for you guys if something were to go wrong.
