Grit your teeth or enjoy it to the full, you'll be amazed at what is available in Orlando.

Welcome to the top five Holiday/destinations that children love! Adults may have other ideas but these kids know best!!

It's always interesting when kids tell you the places they want to go on holiday. Usually there can be quite a difference between where adults would like to go and where their children choose! So I decided to put together a list of the five favorite places that kids love to vist on holiday.

So get ready for soaring heat, hours of standing in line, paying over the odds for hot dogs and junk food and hanging around in airports waiting for lost luggage! But the smile on your children's faces will make it all worth while!

Somewhat surprisingly, kids love caravan parks!

Even those where the caravans are dirty, have no internet, have swimming pools more humid than the Amazon and pushy salesman trying to sell you a dodgy caravan for £45,000! These sites are available across Britain and are as expensive as going abroad with none of the advantages! If you really want to have fun when trying not to catch some horrendous disease from the pool, call out a name from a character from Coronation Street, Eastenders, or any of the awful soaps and watch how many people turn around and say, "Aye"!!

All-Inclusive Family Hotels in Spain and Majorca.

Across Europe and beyond, all inclusive holidays are very popular with families. In many supplied by Thomas Cook and Tui.co.uk, the kids can look forward to their own special buffet areas, discos, kids clubs and pools. Ideal if you want to have a little bit of adult alone time as most kids will happily spend a couple of hours doing activities while their parents can enjoy activities in the bedroom! The downsides are you'll have to get used to hearing the same awful kids songs night after night and some rather dodgy evening entertainment which usually resolves around men with beards wearing dresses! Then there will be singing from a choir of cats, sorry, holiday reps! Finally if you stay around long enough, you'll be dragged up on stage to be humiliated in front of an audience!

Legoland, Windsor, and Florida.

"Everything is awesome!" as the song goes! Kids love the place. With amazing locations outside London and another near Haines City in Florida, (other Legoland sites are available) your kids will have days of fun at Legoland. There are loads of rides and activities that suit children from three years upwards, although by the time they get to teenage life, they might want something a bit more demanding. Once in every ride is free but be prepared for expensive dining and added extras. In Florida you can stay at the on site hotel for a more immersive experience too! From visiting a few times I have to admit Legoland is a great laugh. From driving electric cars to watching the latest lego movie in the super cool cinema, I would definitely recommend this attraction. If you're visiting the site in Florida then be prepared for sweltering heat and humidity and drink plenty of fluids or you'll be passing out, waiting for the queues for the great rides!

Disneyland Paris.

Despite the jokes on The Simpsons that portray Disneyland Paris as empty and somewhat souless, this is not the case in reality. It's busy but can be a little bit cheaper than heading to Orlando. The only downsides are that Paris, not being the safest city on earth to visit, isn't exactly far away, and as Liam Neeson stated in Taken, "Why would you want to go to Paris?" Perhaps they might make that into Disney's latest attraction experience and us Europeans, will feel right at home!

Plus if you venture into Paris, you can hire a car, drive around the famous sites, take part in a car chase and be lucky to escape without totaling your hire car as the french drive round Paris like its the coming of the apocalypse!! Good Luck and make sure you get the full excess cover!

Although some facts have been used in writing this top five segment, it is written with humour so no triggering was intended!
