Adventures by Disney – Not Just a Tour, but a Tour Experience

 I admit, when the Adventures by Disney first came out, I was not impressed.  I just could not imagine the average family spending as much for a vacation as what it would cost to go on an Adventure by Disney vacation.  I was not allowing myself to get past the prices, and start investigating the actual tours.  Once I did investigate, I found what I should have expected all along.  Disney always seems to create an experience with their vacation itineraries.  I found that the details, of each Adventure by Disney itinerary, are put together with great care for each guest’s needs.  I found that it was not just a tour, but it was a tour experience.

The Adventures by Disney itineraries are not value itineraries, but when you take a close look at them, you will find they actually are deluxe tours that are value priced.  Once you look at what Disney offers, you see that you do get your money’s worth, and then some.  For starters, the size of your group will be smaller than you might expect.  The average adventure by Disney has 30 to 40 guests, and each Adventure has two Disney tour guides.  Disney has gone out and searched for hotels, and attractions, that are top notch.  Hotels are 3, 4, and 5, star hotels, and the many private tours offered within each Adventure are truly above and beyond the tours you will find within other tour companies’ itineraries. Most of your meals are included in each Adventure by Disney.  With Adventures by Disney you get what Disney calls The Disney Difference, a variety of Disney magical surprises, and Disney touches.

Looking at the 2008 itinerary for the Adventures by Disney Southwest Splendor, you will find yourself immersed in the history and lifestyle of the Southwestern United States.  This specialized itinerary will take you from Arizona to Utah, with stays in three different locations.  Your hotels, Amara Creekside Resort and Spa, The Grand Hotel, and Red Cliffs Lodge, will all provide you with their own southwestern flair.  Each day of the Southwest Splendor Adventure Itinerary is filled with specialized tours, and experiences.

I think if Walt Disney were alive today, he would be pleased with the Adventures by Disney.  Walt was very creative, and he had a knack for creating one of a kind experiences.  That is what Adventures by Disney does with each Adventure, creates a one of a kind experience.    

Creating magical memories one vacation at a time!

Disney’s New Frontier: Adventures By Disney

I confess:  I am a Disney addict.  Disney art decorates every room in my house.  I moved to Florida from Oregon so that I could get to Disney World more easily.  I started a Disney web site (Our Laughing Place), and a Disney-focused travel agency (Our Laughing Place Travel)…   all to support my Disney habit.  If there were a 12 step program, I would only join if the meetings were at a Disney resort.

Some might even go so far as to say, I’ve visited Disney World and Disneyland enough to last a lifetime.  And — while it’s true that the Disney imagineers provide plenty of change to keep me coming back to check new venues — I was starting to think I might have to start traveling to other countries to get my Disney thrill.  Imagine my delight to discover the Disney company read my mind and developed an easy way for me to do just that! 

Adventures By Disney takes Disney where the magic has never gone before…  Land Tours around the World!  The focus is – of course – on family fun, and the intention is to provide a quality experience with Disney’s magical touch along the way.  The first year these tours were offered publically was 2006, and I sampled the Costa Rica Eco-tour.  Here’s the pictorial review I wrote: Path to Pura Vida  In 2007, I signed up for two tours:  Fiesta Espana and “Quest for the Wild West” (I’ll write a review for this one as soon as we get back)  The 2008 itineraries are so exciting, I could barely whittle it down to three.

 There IS a pattern here, and you can probably tell I am as enamored with the impeccability of the Disney style with their land tours as I am with the quality of  I find in the Disney parks.  What can I say?  I’m hooked on pixie dust

With Adventures By Disney, I’m ready to travel with Disney to “Infinity and Beyond”!
