This is is helpful! We’re starting to panic about doing anything with our kids as they get older, and my youngest is growing out of a crib /pack n play. We are only a family of 4, but we want one more and my husband likes to have his parents and brother do stuff with us and it can be quite insane with hotels.

Some fantastic ideas here! I love using money-saving apps that help you find local deals, even in places you’ve never been before! Otherwise, you just get ripped off as a tourist…

Great ideas! Once when all of the family traveled to the beach, we rented a home and all stayed together, it was very economical and we were close to the beach. We cooked some food there as well which helped. We are going on a trip this spring just across the state, plan to use my husband’s Hilton honors points for the hotel and do some free, low cost activities so our only costs will be food and gas. Thanks for sharing your ideas, plan to pin to share!

I agree about Airbnb as a smart option to save money. The privacy you can have there is a big plus. Some owners also offer breakfast or lunch with the accommodation. However, you must be really lucky to get a one for the period you desire 🙂 But if you prefer to really rest and have a bit more luxury holiday, some good hotels also offer family suits and the total price per person is more profitable than rooms for couples. However, as you already mentioned, earlier then better 😉

I never considered myself a big family, but I guess my family of 5 could be considered big lol. I agree with all the tips you gave, especially planning ahead and packing food. Gas station stops can be so expensive when you and your little ones are hungry or want a snack.
