The family travel expert and voice behind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carrieontravel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CarrieOnTravel.com\u00a0<\/a>says the planning process is part of the joy. &#8220;My best tip for planning a family vacation is to let the kids get in on the fun of coming up with an itinerary. I love making a list of options and let my girls help decide what we do,&#8221; says McLaren, who also hosts travel videos for outlets like VISIT FLORIDA. &#8220;It&#8217;s fun to see what they pick\u2014sometimes it is as easy as extra time at the pool, while other times it is exploring a new museum. I love knowing that they helped in the planning process and that they have something special that they chose for us to do together as a family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite Florida Family Vacation Spot<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Universal&#8217;s Loews Royal Pacific Resort<\/a> in Orlando<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We love staying on-site at Universal Orlando Resort.
