Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) May 22, 2007 -- Looking for some fun for the whole family this summer? Whether looking to hit the beach, head to the world's most magical destination or enjoy some wholesome family fun on one of the greatest lakes, there are three great options for families looking to plan the ultimate vacation with children of all ages and interests.

These days it's hard to imagine, but there was a time when life was simpler and families looked forward to summer vacation as a chance to spend quality time together. Grand Traverse Resort & Spa, located along the shores of Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay, boasts a summer lake resort atmosphere where wholesome family fun and beautiful scenery are sure to help families reconnect.
Whether canoeing on local rivers, swimming at the Resort's Beach Club, visiting a nearby orchard or farm to pick fruit, savoring s'mores at the evening bonfire, or fishing at a local hotspot, children are sure to discover that television and text messaging are overrated.
Named one of the nation's best family resorts, Grand Traverse Resort & Spa has over $12 million in recent property-wide renovations and offers cherry-inspired spa services for mom and teen daughters, three championship golf courses for dad, and fun-filled water sports for kids of all ages. The resort also has programs for younger children to enjoy crafts, games and story time, while older children participate in exciting day camp experiences.
Add to the mix galleries for shopping and fine dining and families have just about everything wanted.

Home Away from Home
Families make lots of sacrifices when traveling together, whether it's time, space, comfort, or even privacy. For those heading to sunny Orlando this summer, don't sweat it. Here's an affordable and family-friendly alternative that's guaranteed to bring everyone together, sacrifice-free, under one spacious roof: All Star Vacation Homes.
The deal: rather than booking multiple hotel rooms, Orlando visitors can bond in a fully furnished vacation home that's located less than four miles from Walt Disney World. Multiple bedrooms mean privacy and preference when it comes to bedtime for all ages, and a fully equipped kitchen saves on the time and costs associated with dining out.
Imagine coming home after a long, magical day at the Orlando theme parks and kicking back together in a private pool. Or crawling into your pajamas and gathering to watch a DVD in a cinema-style home theater room.
Whether a family is large or small, All Star offers 150 homes in every size and price range. Starting at $119 a night, guests can choose from two- and three-bedroom condos and town homes to seven-bedroom Estate homes.
Additionally, both kids and parents can enjoy the vacation planning process itself by working together to choose their favorite home online.
