Get Inspired - 8 Travel Bloggers Share Vacation Ideas

What happens when you ask a bunch of expert travel bloggers to share some of their favourite vacations? You get a whole mixed bag of fantastic information and ideas for your vacation!

I always find it so fascinating to get different opinions and perspectives given that we all experience vacations differently. It’s interesting to see what pieces were important to the author and what they focus on. I think it’s these details that help you find people to follow, when you connect with someone that shares similar views. I had someone tell me she liked my YouTube room tours because they focus on details that are important to her, but other videos had glossed over. Funny what little things bring people together!

So if you’re looking for some different perspectives and vacation ideas, I have 8 blogs below that might inspire you!

1. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Food And Drink by Didi

This post spoke to me – of COURSE it did, it’s about Star Wars, food and drink – how could I not be all in? Didi had a fantastic visit to Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland when it opened and I have used her post to narrow down the list of things I want to try on my visit. Surprisingly the beer isn’t calling to me – but the Yub Nub is!

Check out Didi’s full review here.

2. Beaches near Disney by Jen

When I was younger we always had a ‘split stay’ vacation in Florida, we would spend a week at a beach and a week at Walt Disney World. Since I am usually going to Florida for Disney only, I have neglected and sort of forgotten about all the wonderful beaches nearby that you can visit outside of the theme parks. Why don’t I do this anymore?

Jen has some great insight in to Siesta Key, read it here.

3. Jekyll Island with kids by Kayla

So, I have to admit – I had never even HEARD of Jekyll Island until Kayla’s post. While she focuses on visiting this gem in Georgia with kids, the pictures look so lovely I think I want to go! It’s obviously a different vacation than I’m used to, but it’s so easy to forget sometimes that there are great places outside of Florida!

4. White Island Tour by Albion

This is a trip that’s WAY out of my typical adventures, but it does sound incredible! An active volcano would be amazing to see up close, but when you look at these pictures you realize HOW CLOSE this tour takes you. If you’ve got a trip to New Zealand in your future – this is something you really don’t want to miss. Imagine the stories those kids were telling their friends when they got home?

5. Tokyo with Kids by Allison

Allison let her tween and teen plan her vacation to Tokyo and you won’t believe the stuff they did. From a Pokemon Center to the Bullet Train, they spent a full 10 days there exploring. There are so many things to experience and Allison has listed her 12 things to do in Tokyo with kids.

6. Universal Orlando – Visiting with a family, Lisa’s perspective

Universal is a big tourist destination in Orlando, but a very different experience from Disney of course. Lisa has some views on why you shouldn’t wait until your kids are older to experience Universal. I had not tried Mel’s Drive-In when I was visited – this was a great reminder!

Lisa’s overview of visiting Universal Orlando is here.

7. Embarkation on Disney Cruise Line from Carrie

From your day bag to security to having your camera ready, Carrie has some great tips and reminders for your boarding process. I have enjoyed so many Disney Cruises that I can’t imagine sailing on any others. The process, customer service and class – it’s just top notch!

Carrie’s embarkation tips are here.

8. Disney Cruise Line Spooky Sailing review by Sarah

Sarah shares her insights and reviews from her Halloween on the seas sailing in 2016! From boarding the ship to being ON the cruise for Halloween night, what a treat! I have yet to do a Halloween cruise – might have to get one of those booked!
