Summer’s Over - Time to plan for next year
As a single parent, I always plan my vacations incredibly far in advance. So far, my vacations have usually just been myself, my boyfriend, or a quick weekend trip with my son. Next year’s going to be different. Next year, I’m going to take my hopeful 6 year old on a real, bonafide vacation.
I asked him, mostly for the sake of entertainment, where he wanted to go. His answer was to Hollywood, to see all of the movie stars. I don’t know about everyone else, but this answer seems like a product of his generation. When I was 6, all I wanted to do was head to the beach on “vacation” or go to the County Fair.
So it goes without saying that Hollywood is out as an idea. I’m thinking maybe a Disney Cruise, but I checked prices and they’re a little more expensive than I was anticipating.
All in all, I’m looking for budget-friendly, kid-friendly ideas. I’d like to steer clear of the “Disney Worlds” and the “Carowinds” and do something that is going to require little to no driving and standing in line. It’s a tall order but someone must have ideas.
I’m looking for those unique, “why didn’t I think of that” vacation ideas that are suitable for myself and a 6 year old.

You may want to consider Universal Studios, it may satisfy his or her want as well as yours.
