A May 2005 trip to Williamsburg by moonlightgraham
Quote: We spent a very nice week at the Marriott's Manor Club in Ford's Colony. This is not an RCI property (II), but there are many RCI properties. We traveled before the heavy summer season, so the area attractions were very lightly attended.
Overview
AAA has discounted 2-day passes to Colonial Williamsburg that will save you dollars per ticket. However, I would suggest those with toddlers to think hard before purchasing these tickets. The tickets allow access to the more important and interesting buildings but the guided tours tha take place can be tedious for restless toddlers. The grounds and many other buildings can be entered at no charge, so that may be the best option for those traveling with small children and wait to explore the other buildings when they are older and more interested.
Jamestown and Yorktown are very interesting as well and easily accessible via the Colonial Parkway that links the three towns. For those with children, Jamestown is were the legend of Pocahantas will come alive!
