May Children's Festivals
The Merry Month of May is especially merry thanks to a blossoming of Children's Festivals. In many cities in the US and Canada, families can find colorful performances, clowns, crafts, and general good times for kids.Mother's Day Getaways
Mother’s Day in the US and Canada is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Getaways are always a welcome gift: many family-friendly places have special packages for Mother’s Day, with maybe a brunch or spa treatment thrown in. Or try a travel gift for mom...Memorial Day Weekend
Parades and other special events celebrate this holiday, whose purpose is to remember those who've died in war. Memorial Day weekend is also the unofficial start of summer, and many resorts, hotels, and destinations dream up Memorial Day Weekend packages.Disney World: Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival
May is a fine time to visit Disney World in Orlando: the Epcot theme park has dozens of special topiaries of Disney characters, and floral beds and other blooms beautify this unusual theme park. It's always fun to walk around the Lagoon past pavilions for China, Italy, and other countries; and Flower Power concerts in an open-air theater bring top acts from the 60's and 70's.Also at Disney World: Star Wars Weekends
Typically the four Star Wars Weekends start in May: Star Wars Weekends mean all the regular fun of the Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park, plus parades and special extras, mainly at the Star Tours attraction, such as "Star Wars: Jedi Training Academy".
