Its alway the best to book directly ourself as you will get a definite confirmation on all your requirements..i would like to suggest to you, to spend 2 weeks or more in Malaysia, to fully cover the whole country!
If you're from another country,start your journey by Malaysia Airlines arriving in Kuala Lumpur International Airport or KLIA. Check in at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Kuala Lumpur
http://www.mandarinoriental.com
This hotel is a 5 stars hotel located in the middle of the Golden Triangle and is next to KLCC Twin Towers and Aquaria, From here, there is a connecting train called PUTRA which could bring you to Pasar Seni or Central Market (selling souviners and antiques stuff) from here its a walking distance to the Petaling Street or Chinatown..you could bargain a whole loads of fake branded clothings, begs, cameras, watches and etc at this crowded famous area..
The next day you could also go to the followings:
-Sunway Lagoon Theme Parks (spend one whole day is recommended)
-Birds & Butterfly Park at Taman Tasik Perdana
-National Museum

then maybe after 3-4 days in Kuala Lumpur, bring your family into a rented car to Genting Highlands in Pahang..Genting Highlands is very famous for its casinos and theme parks http://www.genting.com.my
stay there for 2 -3 nights and then drive up Kuala Perlis in Perlis. Get on board a ferry at the Kuala Perlis Jetty and you will be arriving in Langkawi Island. the Legendary island..In langkawi, stay in either..Berjaya Langkawi Beach Resort http://ww.berjayaresorts.com/langkawi-beach
or at The Westin Langkawi http://www.westin.com
or at Pelangi Beach resort http://www.pelangibeachresort.com Stay at least for 3-4 nights..explore and snorkelling at the Pulau Payar Marine Park,,visit the Underwater World, the longest Cable Car in Asia/World, island hopping day tour, the mangrove tour, http:www.langkawi-hotels.com
http://www.langkawiisland.com.my
after this, move out from Langkawi and drive another 3 hours up to Penang Island..a famous heritage featuring the Khoo Kongsi..reclining buddha statue,,penang hills,gurney drive,,night market and lots more..in Penang, the best hotel to stay will be at Grand Plaza Parkroyal..superb in everything! http://www.penang.parkroyalhotels.com
http://www.penang-hotels.com
http://www.penangtourism.com.my
From Penang, leave your rented car ( advise this to the car company) and get a flight at the Penang Airport at Bayan Lepas and fly to Sabah aka Borneo Island. Get to Kota Kinabalu..and stay at Nexus Karambunai http://www.nexusresort.com
or at Sutera Harbour http://www.suteraharbour.com
If you and family is physically fit..climb the famous Mount Kinabalu or maybe the less adventurous..visit Orang Utan at Sepilok Centre..there are so many cultural activity going on and you could arrange with the hotel for a day tour and sightseing around the city and such..

If you feel its not enough then maybe you could also bring your family to Kuching,Sarawak and stay at the Holiday inn Damai Laut http://www.holidayinn-sarawak.com

Penang: excellent sightseeing, history, food, and lots of reasonably-priced hotels with some kid-friendly hotels. Lots to do in Penang!

confident it feasible, purely u could be careful while u do buying in chinatown or any open marketplace the place each and all the stuff are actually not in restoration cost (propose u can good deal),elsewhre all cost are restoration. If u making plans to bypass to purely Kuala lumpur skill u shouldn't omit the KLCC and KL tower. for buying bypass to sungai wang. its gonna be extremely warm in april and could coz "el nino" monsoon that occurs as quickly as in 4-7 years time.
