Disney - would you consider going in January instead of Spring Break? The biggest con to Disney during Spring Break would be the crowds. If you could pull your kids out of school for a week in January, that might be a better time to do Disney.

AI - [b]we've done the AI Spring Break vacation the last two years and my kids had such a fun time. Pick an AI with a good kids club and lots of different activities. My two did not get bored the entire week[/b].[/quote]

Not the OP, but what AI brand and country did you choose and how old were you kids at the time?[/quote]
We went to Dreams in Punta Cana and Tulum. I've recommended Dreams on this board before.[/quote]

OP here - we were looking at Dreams Cancun. [/quote]
Dreams Tulum poster here - Dreams is wonderful with kids. Great kids club, you can't beat the food - just a great all around choice. [b]Why Dreams Cancun? [/b]I didn't appreciate this at the time of booking but did once we got there - do you plan to do any excursions? Some of the excursions (Tulum Ruins, XCaret, Xelha) were closer to Tulum so we didn't have to spend as much time getting to those excursions. There seems to be lots of great Dreams properties in the whole Riviera Maya. They also are building a new one. We probably will take a break from the AI vacation next year, but if we ever do an AI vacation again I would want to go to their latest![/quote]

It was the cheaper than the others and still had great reviews. I guess we should think about excursions but I didn't really have plans to leave the resort. They take all day. How long do you stay when you incorporate excursions? We were only going to stay 5 nights but if we do excursions it sort of cuts the resort time shot. [/quote]
We stayed for a week and did two excursions. If you don't plan to do excursions and just stay at the resort, would you consider going to Dreams Punta Cana? When we stayed there, the room (we upgraded to a Preferred Room) was a quasi suite. It didn't have two separate bedrooms like you think most suites would have but it did have a separate living room (there wasn't a door separating the living space from the bedrooms). Might not work for your family but just throwing different ideas out there.[/quote]

Thanks for this suggestion. Dreams Punta Cana sounded like there were no A/C areas and that is was all open air (roof and possible 1 wall but not closed off from the heat). Also we went to Excellence Punta Cana (adult-only) in August 2015 and LOVED IT, but the mosquitoes were horrible that we sort of wrote DR off. I wonder if they'd be bad in April. [/quote]
