No surprise, Orlando's the #1 destination for family spring break, with its two blockbuster theme park complexes - Disney World, and Universal Orlando - plus SeaWorld and its Discovery Cove theme park and Aquatica water park. And don't forget Orlando's live entertainment: Blue Man Group has a permanent venue, as does Cirque Du Soleil, pictured above.

Florida also has beautiful beaches on both its Gulf and Atlantic coasts. These beaches, however, are magnets for crazy college spring break partiers. Best strategy for families is to choose a more private beach resort (-a higher price tag will sift out spring-breakers, too!) Another great option is Club Med Sandpiper - an all inclusive resort on the Saint Lucie River, with golf, trapeze, sailing, and terrific kids programs. Baby Club Med too (at an extra charge.)

Check out these and other Spring Break Ideas in Florida.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is opening soon -- how soon, is still not exactly known; but visitors can buy a "Wizarding World of Harry Potter Vacation Package" for dates starting May 28 2010.

Above: a sneak peek at Hogwarts Express pulling into Hogsmeade Station.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be a new island -- a theme park within a theme park-- at Islands of Adventure, which is one of two already-popular theme parks at Universal Orlando. One can only imagine how popular Islands of Adventure will be this summer, with Harry, Hermione, Ron, et al, in residence.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Vacation Package includes a stay at a Universal Orlando resort, front-of-the-line access to attractions, and early entrance to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter --which could be the biggest perk.

The Atlantis Bahamas is a legendary resort on Paradise Island, with jaw-dropping waterslides, giant AQUAVENTURE waterpark, underground giant aquariums connected by a maze, shopping and entertainment village, several large play zones and pools for kids, and just generally too many "biggest" and "one-of-a-kind" features to mention here (-- you'll have to read more about the Atlantis Bahamas for families.)

Recently, The Atlantis added an 8000 sq. foot Atlantis Kids Adventures kids club, which includes a partnership with LEGO, maker of the famous kids building blocks, ( this being LEGO's first venture with a resort.)

As part of this picture, kids can participate special four-day LEGO camps this summer -- Read more...
