13. Fulfilling your Family’s Fantasies with a Dream Trip to Disneyland
It’s almost a parenting requirement these days to plan a pilgrimage to a Disney theme park with your cherubs at some point. After all, it’s “The Happiest Place On Earth”, right?

Once you get there, though, brace yourself for cranky kids, occasional tears, dreary line-ups, expensive food, potential character scares, overtired toddler tantrums and all sorts of other not-so-happy moments. Not trying to be a downer here, but it’s better to be prepared for the worst with some realistic expectations.


14. Having a Romantic Moment on the Spanish Steps
Like the Trevi Fountain, Rome’s Spanish Steps are in every guidebook to the Eternal City, so we are all compelled to go there at some point on our Roman holiday.

Just know that you’ll be sharing your romantic moment with hundreds of other tourists, too. Try to go early morning or late afternoon if you want to get a picture without the multitudes.
