Top Travel Destinations for Easter Season

The first Sunday of the paschal full-moon in March or April is known as Easter Sunday, which is a religious holiday.

The week prior to or after Easter Sunday is typically spring break for school-age children, so families plan weekend or week-long vacations. Mom and dad may even plan a private getaway for two, which would allow their children to spend the holiday with their grandparents.

When choosing Easter travel for 2013, parents and grandparents should know that Orlando is the top destination for those who are traveling with children. It should come as no surprise that Orlando is the number one destination for Easter travel, due to the famous Walt Disney World theme and amusement park located in Florida. There are four-theme parks and multiple water parks at this world-known resort. Parents and grandparents can take the kids to Universal Studios and enjoy the magical exhibits and rides on one day, and see the wonderful aquatic life at Sea World on another day. Children get to meet or watch their favorite fictional characters in a parade at Magic Kingdom. With all of the fun-filled adventure offered at this Orlando-based themed park, it is no wonder Walt Disney World is the top destination for 2013.
