Take it Slow and Leave Plenty of Time

When planning your trip, make sure to leave plenty of spare time for everything:

• On the Way to the Airport: Allow extra time to get to the airport.
• At the Airport: Plan for check-in, security, buying food, snacks, drinks, and bathroom breaks.
• At Each Attraction: Leave time to enjoy each attraction without rushing.
• Meal Times: Allow extra time for breakfast and other meals.
• Every Activity: Avoid packing too many activities into one day.

To avoid scenes and frustrated kids, get to the airport early and leave plenty of time for things to go wrong. You don’t want to miss your flight because it took extra time to pass your kids’ bottles through security.

Plan your days with time to get organized, relax, and play. When traveling with kids, don’t plan to visit a park, two museums, a restaurant, and go bowling on the same day.

Keep your plans and schedule loose, and enjoy your family time.
