[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2yo and 6yo DDs  [b]Beach vacations with no set itinerary are the easiest[/b] with the little one.  We rent a house or condo.  Short weekend trips that are within a 3 or 4 hour drive also work well.  2yo DD will nap a bit in a stroller or car, so that helps.  Our biggest hoop to jump through with travel is that she has multiple food allergies, 2 of which are anaphylactic, so dining out is a huge challenge.  I’ve gotten very used to toting along a ton of food everywhere we go.
We are attempting Disney in a few months, and that will include our first air travel since pre-Covid (and before DD2 was born).  I’m hoping it isn’t a disaster.  Low expectations![/quote]

PP here. Interestingly, I find beach vacations/things with no set itinerary focused around being in a rental....the MOST stressful for my child and myself. Doing a big family weekend in a rental either at the beach or random locale have been the most unpleasant experiences. Sitting around an unfamiliar house without "your stuff" is tough for us. DS (and all of us) thrive on more adventurous trips (so far). We have adopted a rough schedule for our trips- DS still naps. Pre nap, the goal is 1 activity for him (playground, something active, a museum we know DS will enjoy etc) and after nap, 1 activity for us. That has worked well for us, so far. I had to change my perspective from pre-kid travel. I will also say that I have created lovely memories and seen things I never would have seen, and met some interesting people at random playgrounds in different countries![/quote]
