The 18 Best Family Resorts in the U.S.

"A luxe home base for Walt Disney World trips, this resort pairs family-focused onsite programming (kids’ camps and complimentary transportation to the park’s entrance, plus 30 minutes of early access) with resort amenities like a lazy river, dive-in movies, and wildlife exploration tours led by the resort’s nature guide. For elevated dining and nightly fireworks views, a Michelin-starred steakhouse on a high floor offers 17th-floor vantage points of the Magic Kingdom. T+L editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford, who stayed with her family, wrote: “The family pool, character breakfast at Ravello, and kids check-in area give off family-friendly vibes, and it’s all part of the charm. Everyone embraced being there, and yes, you can wear Mickey ears.” Accessible rooms and suites include wide doors and roll-in showers; rates start at $1,095 per night." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
