Adventures by Disney Discounts & Info
LAST UPDATE: 10/2/24
Adventures by Disney is Disney’s luxury package tour business. Guests of Adventures by Disney travel in small groups limited to 40 participants, and are led by two Disney-trained Adventure Guides. 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. All of Adventures by Disney’s itineraries are designed around family fun. When a tour includes an experience that might not appeal to children, Disney will often offer a supervised experience that the kids can do separately. (Adventures by Disney recommends that participating children be age 6 years or older.) There are a few adults-only departures each season that forgo the extra kids’ activities.
Listed below are any Adventures by Disney discounts that are currently available. While discounts on Adventures by Disney vacations are not common, there are ways to save, plus occasional “extras” that are worthwhile. You’ll also find useful details and links below to more information about these adventures.
You can expect impeccable service as well as a few surprises on an Adventure by Disney trip. Travel, activities and scheduled meals during your adventure are planned. Luggage is handled for you and hotel check-ins are pre-arranged. Many of the tours and experiences are not available to the general public, such as after-hours museum visits or special exclusive tours to areas that are usually off-limits. The accommodations and food are first-class; it’s a premium family tour experience in all respects. To get a sense of what a trip is like, read about Sarah and Don’s September 2023 Adventures by Disney trip to the Canadian Rockies.
Adventures by Disney also offers Private Adventures, which can be booked for up to 12 friends and family members. Private Adventures feature many of the highlights from Adventures by Disney guided group tours, combined with unique experiences specially designed for a smaller group. Based on the itinerary, you will either have one local Private Adventure Guide who will be assigned to you for the entirety of your trip, or a different local Private Adventure Guide that will be assigned to you for each destination city. Booking dates are flexible, pending the seasonality of certain destinations, and there is no minimum travel age for most itineraries. There may be some activities within a Private Adventure vacation that a child may not be able to join based on age; when that happens Adventures by Disney will do their best to provide an alternate activity. There are itineraries available in 11 different countries.
