Visit Anaheim [visitanaheim.org], the official destination organization for Anaheim partnered with actress and mom Holly Robinson Peete to reveal results of a new survey which shows multigenerational vacations are top-of-mind with travelers when it comes to reliving memories, while also creating new ones, with the next generation. The survey polled a sample of 1,000 Americans and found that Millennial respondents (aged 25-34) lead the category when it comes to wanting more multigenerational trips, coming in at a whopping 83%!

The majority (56%) “strongly agree” that multigenerational trips are more special when visiting somewhere their parents or grandparents have been before and 53% report being “very happy” when they take trips to places they’ve previously been with their parents or children.
