Check out Alaska Transportation Group for transport between the dock in Seward and ANC. They do a tour through the Wildlife Conservation Center on the way up and I would highly recommend that.

The train to Denali I've heard is a great experience although I've never done it myself. My sister gas though. The bus tour through the park is excellent, although it's a long day.

If you're trying to cover a lot of ground you may want to check out renting an RV if your family dynamic can make that work. It only seems expensive until you consider that you can forgo hotels and lets you be a little more creative with your itinerary.

Good luck on getting your family to move up here. I don't know about Purple but reserve goes senior in the summer at AS. Be sure to check out Eagle River and the Valley while you're here. Better bang for the buck in the real estate market.
