NEENAH, Wis., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Family travel is on the rise and is projected to be 2007’s most significant travel trend. With this in mind, Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) through its trusted Huggies and Pull-Ups brands, is providing families a little extra incentive to take trips with their kids by launching the Discover the Magic Game.
Beginning today, http://www.huggiesbabynetwork.com/ and http://www.pull-ups.com/ will give 40 families a chance to win a vacation to the Walt Disney World(R) Resort in Orlando in the Discover the Magic Game. In addition, family travel expert and author Eileen Ogintz has teamed up with the Huggies and Pull-Ups brands to share 40 of her most helpful travel tips to make the most out of family vacation time and to plan an unforgettable trip.
“A family vacation is about creating a memorable experience that allows everyone to reconnect and have fun,” said Deb Bauer, Kimberly-Clark Marketing Director. “Our Discover the Magic Game is giving families a special opportunity to win a very magical vacation to start building these playful memories. And, we’re thrilled to partner with Eileen Ogintz, who’s not only a travel expert, but also a mother of three, to help busy moms prepare their families for an unforgettable trip.”
Taking the Kids
A travel veteran known for her innovative, yet practical family travel advice, Eileen Ogintz chronicles her journeys in a weekly syndicated column, “Taking the Kids,” and suggests that by following a few simple planning tips, busy parents can avoid common travel pitfalls and ensure their vacations are relaxed and fun.
“Vacations present families with an incredible chance to have fun and bond with the kids,” Ogintz says. “The key to making the most of your family vacation and enjoying these precious playful times is careful planning so your actual vacation time is spent with the kids and not spent worrying about last minute details. It can mean the difference between a good trip and a GREAT trip”
While 40 families will win a trip in the Discover the Magic Game, all moms and dads can plan their own successful family holiday. Some of Eileen Ogintz’s most valuable family travel tips include:
— When traveling by plane, pack your carry on bag with more kids’
clothes, food, diapers, training pants and wipes than you think you’ll
need. Remember, you won’t be able to get formula or diapers once on
board.
— Cut your planned itinerary in half. Remember that this is a vacation
and kids will want time to play in the pool, visit the playground or
simply stay in for a lazy morning.
— Limit the time you’re available to the office when you’re on vacation.
Remember, it’s about being together with your little ones.How to enter the Huggies and Pull-Ups Discover the Magic Game
