Why Shoulder Season is the Smartest Time to Travel as a Family

Planning a family vacation doesn’t have to mean fighting summer crowds or paying peak-season prices. Shoulder season—the months just before or after peak travel times—is the perfect window to enjoy unforgettable adventures without the hassle.

Why Shoulder Season Rocks for Families:

• Lower Costs: Flights and accommodations are often 20–40% cheaper.

• Fewer Crowds: Attractions, theme parks, and beaches are less crowded.

• More Availability: It’s easier to book popular excursions and family-friendly rooms.

• Great Weather: Many destinations still have warm, beautiful weather in May.

Family Favorites for May Travel:

• Orlando Theme Parks (before summer rush)

• European Cities (mild weather, fewer tourists)

• National Parks (spring blooms, fewer crowds)

• Mexico & Caribbean All-Inclusives (pre-hurricane season)

💡Pro Tip: May is also great for cruise deals—especially if your kids aren’t in school yet or have flexible schedules.
