Best Disney Spring Break 2022 Destinations
Orlando, FL
There is no better weather at Disney World than during the months of March, April, and May. That makes Disney World Spring Break a magical choice, especially if you have young ones.
If you plan to visit during Easter, the park hosts several special activities including an Easter Parade at Magic Kingdom, beautiful Easter egg displays sculpted from chocolate, an Easter egg hunt, and a yummy Easter brunch. The Blueberry-bacon pancakes at Ale & Compass are a must-try.
Remember, always arrive early and pack extra patience.
Anaheim, CA
A Disneyland Spring Break in 2022 is a great choice for couples and families with older kids. Springtime has plenty of exclusive events and themed celebrations.
Disneyland is calling all the foodies! The Food & Wine Festival at California Adventure Park has kid-friendly activities, like Jr. Chef, and delicious refreshing beer and wine for the adults.
Both the flowers and park spirit are in full bloom. We could all use an extra dose of color this year.
Oahu, Hawaii
We probably don’t need to convince you that Hawaii is a vacation paradise. Pair that with Disney Aulani and it might just be the happiest place on Earth. Check out our in-depth guide for visiting the resort.
Watch your loved ones’ faces light up while dining with Moana or with the excitement of the KA WA‘A luau. Aloha!
Best Universal Spring Break 2022 Destinations
Orlando, FL
What will it be… Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay, or all three? A Universal Resort Spring Break is for the thrill-seekers, movie lovers, and party lovers. The sights, sounds, and flavors of Mardi Gras fill the park with excitement, and most importantly, delicious food.
Dear Harry Potter enthusiasts, Spring Break can be a crowded time at the park, so we recommend heading for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Diagon Alley first. Enjoy a butterbeer for us!
Universal City, CA
Universal Studios Hollywood is home to some of the classic attractions such as The Simpsons Ride, Jurassic World, and Revenge of the Mummy. With its recent additions of Despicable Me and the Secret Life of Pets, it’s a park perfect for those who aren’t fans of the humidity in Florida and still love entertainment.
It’s located in gorgeous Southern California. Spend a day or two at the park and then head to the infamous Venice Beach about an hour away.
Best Family Beach Spring Break 2022 Destinations
If you’re experiencing beach tunnel vision…don’t be worried, you aren’t the only one.
Myrtle Beach, SC
Myrtle Beach is both budget-friendly and a blast for the whole family. The city has beautiful beaches, boardwalks with arcade games and thrill rides, and plenty of museums to explore.
Myrtle Beach is also known for its delicious foods. Be sure to research what the local favorites are for its signature South Carolina dishes.
Amelia Island, FL
Escape to the sunny, sandy beaches and quaint town of Amelia Island for a relaxing Spring Break 2022 vacation. Nearby Fernandina Beach has shallow waters and public playgrounds to keep your little ones safe and entertained. They’re known for “easy living.” Downtown Amelia Island has a rich history and plenty of charming shops for perusing.
Spring Break isn’t too far away… we say as we stare longingly at our computer screens full of amusement rides and bright beaches. So, we plan instead!
You can expect larger crowds at any Disney or Universal park during Spring Break, but due to COVID-19 health and safety measures, we don’t anticipate it will be as packed as in recent years. Disney World is expected to limit capacity to 35 percent. That being said, we suggest you grab your tickets before they go!
