Adventures by Disney
LAST
UPDATE:
8/5/08
- MOST RECENT ADDITIONS ARE IN RED
In summer 2005, Disney quietly solicited participants for some experimental
vacation packages to Hawaii and Yellowstone. They called the program
"Adventures by Disney." A very limited number of participants
had the opportunity to test out the concept the first year. Starting
in 2006, the Adventures by Disney program became available to the public and expanded to
many more destinations, including Costa Rica, France, England and
Italy.
In 2008, the destinations were expanded even further to include China and Australia, as well as many locations in Europe and Latin America. For 2009, Disney is adding South Africa, the Galapagos Islands, the Alps and more!
Adventures by Disney guests travel in small groups limited to 40
participants, and are led by two Disney-trained Adventure Guides with
the gift for family fun. Each adventure is filled with immersive,
interactive experiences you might never have tried if you were traveling on your
own. Local experts provide authenticity and character by sharing knowledge
and stories.
You can expect impeccable service as well as a few surprises along
the way. Vacationing is almost effortless. Travel, activities and
scheduled meals during your adventure are planned. Luggage is handled
for you and hotel check-ins are pre-arranged. An Adventures by Disney
vacation allows you to enjoy the magic of the destination, while creating
memories with your family that will last forever.
Note: Adventures by Disney recommends that participating children
be age 8 years or older.
