Make sure to hit new attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. For dinner, dine in space at the new Space 220 Restaurant at Epcot! Beyond rides, there’s so many other things to enjoy like parades, fireworks, character interactions, shopping, and unique dining experiences. Take your spring break to the next level and experience the magic of a Disney vacation!  

Explore 30A in Florida

This area in Florida is quickly becoming a favorite vacation spot! The name comes from a road in South Walton County called County Road 30A that spans about 20 miles along the Florida panhandle coastline. Featuring a cluster of small, beautiful beach towns this area boasts some of the best beaches, restaurants, and vacation rentals. Ride your bike along the coastline and stop at popular beaches along the way, including Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and Grayton Beach. There’s plenty of upscale shopping and food trucks with live music to enjoy! And let’s not forget the real star: the clear, turquoise-blue water. Beautiful and lively, 30A is the perfect spring break getaway!  

Vacation at Martha’s Vineyard

Take in the beach views for a relaxing and scenic vacation! We recommend renting bikes and biking around the area to take in the sights. Visit a few beaches for sandcastle building and swimming. You can also sightsee at a few lighthouses, enjoy fresh seafood, learn about the island’s history at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, ride the Flying Horses Carousel, and visit a nature sanctuary. Enjoy a real spring break escape at this fun vacation spot!  

Find Adventure in Oahu, Hawaii

Enjoy island adventures and attractions in Oahu! Snorkel with sea turtles, hike Diamond Head, visit Kualoa Ranch, parasail in Waikiki, zipline for stunning views, and enjoy a luau at sunset. For families, we recommend staying at the Aulani Disney Resort & Spa. Kids will love the pools, lazy river, slides, and Disney-themed treats! There are tons of kids’ activities in Oahu that the whole family will enjoy, and plenty of adult fun for singles and best friends.  

Spend an Exciting Week in New York City

Skip the typical beach vacation and take an unexpected trip! Your itinerary will be full of exciting activities. See popular sights like the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Time Square at night. Spend educational time at the American Museum of Natural History or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. At night, see a Broadway musical followed by New York-style pizza.  

Gamble on Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a top destination spot for spring break that— although a surprise to many—also offers kid-friendly activities and sights for a family vacation. Vegas hotels offer inexpensive rooms and feature large swimming pools with poolside food and drink service. Rent a cabana as a special treat to beat the heat! The Mandalay Bay hotel features a large aquarium, along with a world-famous aquatic playground that includes a sandy beach, a wave pool and a lazy river. Visit Madam Tussauds to see wax figure celebrities and take plenty of fun photos. Walk down the strip to visit the themed hotels and see their lobby displays. Ride the rollercoaster at the top of the New York, New York hotel, go zip-lining, and spend an evening at Top Golf. Get tickets for a comedy show or magic show. When you’re hungry, there’s hundreds of restaurants along the strip that offer diverse cuisine. Vegas is a perfect spring break spot that will keep you entertained all week long.  

Get Swept Away by the Sea Islands, Georgia

Located on the southeastern coast of Georgia, there are four beautiful barrier islands: St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. Sea Island features miles of private beach, children’s programs, golf courses, and a spa. Outdoor enthusiast families will love to go swimming, boating, golfing, horseback riding and more! The beautiful scenery makes for an idyllic vacation that has everything: activities for kids and relaxation for the adults. Take advantage of this coastal paradise that’s close to home!  

Find Escape and Wonder in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is another enchanting vacation spot. You’ll love exploring the diverse landscape. You can snorkel to see coral reefs, horseback ride on the beach, hike in the mountains, and visit national forests. We especially recommend visiting El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the US national forest system. Immerse yourself in the wonders of nature and take a breathtaking spring break adventure!  

Elevate Your Spring Break in Vail, Colorado

Discover a fun getaway where you can ski, snowboard, hike, and swim in the heated pools! March sees warmer temperatures and more hours of daylight. It’s the perfect time of year for your trip. If you want a break from the outdoor fun, Vail also has a bowling alley and movie theater. Make sure to spend an afternoon in the quaint downtown area with shops and restaurants. Vail truly has everything for a fun getaway, with daily activities and outstanding scenery!   

Make Memories at Jackson Hole, Wyoming

This vacation spot offers stunning views and fun activities like snow tubing, skiing, bowling, and shopping. Kids will love taking a ride on Snow King Mountain’s roller coaster that winds up and down part of the ski hill. Take in spectacular sights at Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Jackson Hole will also host its 4th annual Food & Wine Winter Festival March 10-12 2022. There’s so much to see and do in this mountain town!

Cozy up for a classic holiday movie night.

 There’s nothing more romantic than cuddling on the couch and watching a classic holiday movie like “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Home Alone,” or “Elf.”

Go ice skating.

Nothing brings you closer as a couple than ice skating (or maybe, wobbling and hanging on for dear life). Ice skating is a fun holiday activity where you can lean on each other and laugh at every trip or fall. It may be a cliché winter date favorite but it’s one of the best ways to make magical memories as a couple.  

Attend a holiday concert.

Check out local venues to attend a Christmas music concert. There’s so many different concerts to choose from during the holiday season—from orchestral to choral, pop to Broadway.  

Visit your local theater to watch “A Christmas Carol.”

Enjoy this holiday favorite for the first time as a couple! Go out for a fancy dinner before or after and make it a magical holiday evening.  

Make ugly sweater Christmas cookies.  

Take your cookie baking to the next level and exchange those basic sugar cookies for ugly sweater cookies you can decorate together. The best part? Ugly sweaters are supposed to look bad, so have fun making a mess and laughing over your amateur frosting skills.  

Experiment with boozy hot chocolate cocktails.

Discover your inner mixologist and whip up crazy holiday cocktails for two. Add spicy heat to your chocolate martini. Swirl peppermint into a pitcher of mudslides. Top your brandy alexander with cinnamon-infused marshmallow whipped cream. These sweet treats will make your holiday date night even sweeter.

Donate toys or supplies to a local nonprofit.

 Give back to your community by donating to a toy drive, food shelf, or animal shelter. Sometimes the best dates are when you do something good together.  

Take couple’s photos for your holiday card.

Take the cutest photos for your Christmas card and send them to friends and family. Make double use of those photos by adding them to a personalized card or gift for your partner. A custom book like the Book of Us is a sweetly personalized gift that tells your love story. Include loving holiday messages and a photo to create a unique Christmas gift that they will treasure for years to come.  

Host a friends or family holiday party at home.

Create meaningful memories by hosting a festive holiday party for all your friends or family! Just choose a theme, keep the drinks flowing, and turn up the holiday music. Hosting a party is a fun affair that helps you bond and hone your planning skills as a couple. 

Build gingerbread houses together.

 Get in the holiday spirit by building a gingerbread house together or making your own houses in a couple’s competition! This holiday activity is perfect for date night at home with a glass of wine.  

Have a date night in the snow with sledding, snow angels, and snowman building.

If you live in a snowy area, embrace the winter cold and build a snowman or go sledding. It’s the perfect time of year to unleash your inner kid and grow even closer to your partner.

Drive to different neighborhoods and look at holiday lights and house displays.

Enjoy a romantic getaway right from your car! Drive around to look at beautiful displays in your neighborhood or drive a little farther to see a spectacular light display at an estate or park.  

Rent a cabin for the weekend.

If you’re looking for a longer road trip getaway, drive out of town to stay at a cabin rental for the weekend. The cabin already sets a romantic scene. All you need is a fire, hot chocolate, and puzzles or board games to make the coziest memories.  

Visit a Christkindlmarket or holiday market.

Going to a holiday market is such a treat! There’s music, spiced cider, warm food, vendors selling handmade goods, and festive photo opportunities. It’s the perfect winter date to enjoy this very merry season!
