Hope no one kicks me off for asking this question!

Tyler Place in Vermont looks really neat. They provide you with your own sitter the entire trip and have tons of planned activities and food and its all included.

Has anyone been to Cedar Point Amusement Park? Is it worth it?

 

[bless7ings]

I just created a poll for this thread on where you would go on an all inclusive fun vacation other than Disney. Thank you for your input. I am hoping for some fresh ideas also, so just put them in other.

I live close to Cedar Point.. Unless you have kids who like thrill rides and rollercoaster then this isn't the place.

I also vote for Beaches resort.

I've never been to the one in negril Jamaica but DH and I have taken the kids twice to the one in Turks and Caicos. The place is awesome. My DS would have gone to the kids club everyday if we would have let him.

DS and DD both loved the place. The employees are the best. Very friendly and as another poster said, if you treat them with respect they will bend over backwards for you. There are 10 restaurants at Turks and caicos including a bakery and a restaurant dedicated to kids. There are also waterslides and now the Sesame Street characters are there. DS made cookies with the cookie monster and DD had breakfast with Elmo.

Lots of fun.

Do you love roller coasters? -> then go
Do you not love roller coasters? -> don't go

 

[PaMom001]

I would go to someplace like Niagra Falls, Philadelphia, or a national park, or Williamsburg, VA.

Our kids (11 and 6 at the time) really enjoyed our Norwegian cruise last summer. They couldn't get enough of the Kids' Crew activities. We took the Spirit out of NYC to the Bahamas.

Our friends took their 3 year old to Beaches Turks and Caicos, and said it was wonderful.

I also suggest Niagara Falls, the Outer Banks, Williamsburg, the beaches of Southern Delaware, Hershey and Lancaster, PA.

Enjoy-for me, the planning is always half the fun of a vacation!

Has anyone been to Cedar Point Amusement Park? Is it worth it?

I've been to Cedar Point a zillion times. My son was never a big fan of rides, so he did mostly smaller stuff and alot of waiting for us. My DD loved rides and now goes on stuff I'm to scared to try. It is a great place, but it is FULL of rollarcoasters and wild rides. They do ahve a water park you can visit as well. And the two hotels are nice, but I heard that the one is getting a bit run down now.


Origionally this trip was to be to Williamsburg for us. But for us to fly anywhere near there was going to cost a fortune. And driving just would take to long and I don't think my 2 year old would liek being in the car that long either. So cost wise for us it wasn't going to be much cheaper. And I figure the baby (and DH) wouldn't find it as exciting as I would, so I am leaving that trip for when she is older and perhaps studying american history in school.

Thanks for your post, it was helpful. Do you know which hotel is in better shape? Is the one with the indoor water park nice? Worth staying there?

 

[jenseib]

I forgot that they added that one. I've not been to that one, but it is only like 2 years old ,so it should be nice. Sand Castle is the one they say is getting run down. I stayed there when it first opened and it was nice then. My SIL stays at the breakers every year and loves it.

My kids love the thrill rides and are looking for the scariest of the roller coaster rides. One of my sons said that is what he didn't like about disney- the rides are too tame- no "real" thrill rides. Obviously the best rides were Rockin Rollercoaster and the Haunted House. Well anyways, I did a search on roller coasters and Cedarpoint came up. How would you rate the rollercoasters compared to others?

The other question I have is: How does it compare to Disney? I know that it can't compare, but can you give me some sort of idea of the feel there and if we were to stay at the resort with the indoor water park and had passes to the amusement park what it might be like?

A cruise gets my vote. We went on a Disney cruise at the end of Jan. beginning of February. We are a family of five so we had to get a family suite. All that I can say is WOW! We had so much fun, the kid's had a blast, the ship was amazing and we would do it again over the parks in a heartbeat. It was that awesome! There was something to do for everyone and Mommy and Daddy even got some alone time because the kids loved the clubs and preferred them over us - lol!

If you can go for it, do so! It's a not miss in our book!

Whats the price differance of a disney trip versus a cruise? Are there codes?!!? Or at least some tips to less expensive travel or deals?

 

[cedmonds]

Hershey Park has a stay and play package as well as Williamsburg. Inoticed you are from the NE Woodloch Pines in Pennsylvania is our non-disney trip place all inclusive

I live in PA, very near HersheyPark. If you are used to WDW, you will be sorely disappointed with Hershey. It has a lot of hills and stairs.

Not sure anymore, but at one time Cedar Point was the number one amusement park. Rated higher than Disney. It is tons of thrills. Alot less of the "lame" rides ,but has a few. If your kids like rollarcoasters this park has more than any other. I personally love cedar point, but like I said you have to like rollarcoasters. Look on the website. It wil show you alot of them. It isn't nearly as big as all of Disney, and it is a completely different experience. It isn't open year round though. I think the waterpark hotel is though.

 

[In Luv with Disney]

Personally I'd do a Cruise or a Beaches vacation!
