    Egypt January 2, 2024 trip report

    Fantastic! So glad you made the detour- my husband and I have discussed a NYE in London some day. It looks like you had a great start to your trip. Can't wait to follow along. I'd love to do the Egypt trip, but my husband is absolutely against it, so it will have to be a solo trip someday...

    Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

    That's good info- thanks for sharing. My driver told me thet Disney instructs them to always come inside which led me to ask the question of why they would indicate to meet in the median (with an ABD sign). I asked my guides at check in about it and they too thought it was weird since they...

    Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

    One thing I would mention for those of you on upcoming trips- the handbook tells you to meet your driver in the median of the arrivals area and to look for the ABD sign. This is not correct- your driver will be at baggage claim with your name on a sign. The driver will also have your phone...

    ABD Scotland, brings back memories!

    Hahahaha- well, that's fair. My husband was on a competitive BBQ team, so we get a lot of it which makes me pretty spoiled :-)

    ABD Scotland, brings back memories!

    That's what makes this community as amazing as it is- we all are excited to travel and also enjoy providing insight to people if we can. It's clear you're proud of your home and want to share it with others. I feel the same way- even if Kansas City isn't nearly as interesting as other places...

    ABD Scotland, brings back memories!

    This is such great information- thank you for taking the time to point all of this out. It's one of the reasons the ABD was appealing because we end up in Inverness and I thought we could rent a car and drive to Macallan for a tour or take the Speyside Whisky tour from Inverness. However, I...

    Disney Resort and Southern California

    We're not on your trip (we just got back from the 10/22 trip), but I have done it in early December and it is the best! Christmas time is so much fun. Your guides will be Michael and Dean (the same guides we had in Dec 2017). Michael was our guide on our October trip and he told me that they...

    ABD Scotland, brings back memories!

    Thank you for the info on the hotel and for your input the tour. Everyone says how amazing Skye is and really want to make sure we get there. Now I just have to try to figure out the best way to get my husband to the McCallan or Balvenie Distillery (his two favorites) :-)

    ABD Scotland, brings back memories!

    Sayhello THANK YOU so much for the detailed info! It's funny you mention the Tauck cruise because I was looking at it last night and thought 'hmmm....this may be the way to go'. So, I'm actually really glad you pointed that out in particular because I was very intrigued by it and your insight...

    ABD Scotland, brings back memories!

    Hello friends Question for those of you who have done this trip- given the current itinerary, would you consider it? I'm looking at possibly doing Scotland before we do Japan and I'm trying to decide if we should look at ABD, another tour group (Tauck is what I'm considering) or just do it...

    Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

    I'd definitely talk to your guides before buying any tickets to a movie Monday night. We were surprised with tickets to the 730 4D showing of 'Nightmare Before Christmas' that evening at El Capitan. We had some fellow adventurers who bought tickets to the 530 show before it was announced and...

    Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

    Have the best time! Ours is three weeks from Sunday. I have a favor to ask, if you don't mind. I'm curious if they will move the World of Color viewing to Wednesday instead of Thursday (since the Oogie Boogie tickets are for Thursday.) Would you mind sharing upon your return? I've seen it...

    Good to know- I'll be on my second one the end of October and was a little worried it may be too redundant

    Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

    The VIP tour at Hollywood was superior given the actual studio portion of the tour. In Orlando, it was good but not as special. It included breakfast and lunch as well- along with special viewing of the Macy's parade (we were there in December), so that was nice. We also got some behind the...

    Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

    Yes- it is definitely a little more expensive than just the normal tickets. It includes breakfast, a backlot tour with special access depending on the day you are there (we got to tour the stage they filmed Superstore since they weren't filming that day), front of the line access on multiple...

    Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

    Before my last Backstage Magic we did Universal VIP tour and it was awesome! So much so that I did it again :-). I loved the mix of the studio and the theme park. We stayed at the Hilton right across the street and took an Uber on Sunday to Lowe's to start our ABD. I'd definitely recommend it.

    private jet adventure??

    I've been reading the posts on Laughing Place as well and it does seem pretty spectacular. Agree, it definitely isn't for everyone, but nothing is. I strongly detest road trips and other people adore them. I know I do love hearing about people's road trips when they get back from them and...
