2025 Land Trips Announced, Booking Starts Between May 7 and 10

[jimmymc]

The 2025 land adventures have been announced, with the big news being the return of Salzburg to the Central Europe trip. Rather than Krakow to Prague to Vienna, the trip is going back to the old itinerary of Prague to Salzburg to Vienna. This also means guests will get to visit some filming locations from The Sound of Music, which was a very popular activity on the old tour schedule.

I was just composing a thread about this.

So the dates for 2025 Land Adventures have been announced on the website. There do not appear to be any new destinations. The Central Europe trip is flagged as "Re-imagined". I haven't had a check to scope out the changes yet. (ETA: look at @jimmymc 's post above)

They are offering the typical early-booking discounts.

I couldn't find anything about booking dates, but found this on another, very reliable site:

Booking Window Dates are as follows:
Adventures by Disney 2025 Land Seasons Bookings will open to new reservations as follows:
• Tuesday, May 7, 2025: Adventure Insiders having completed 3+ trips.
• Wednesday, May 8, 2025: Adventure Insiders having completed 1+
trips.
• Thursday, May 9, 2025: New Guests to ABD who are DVC members
or Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club Members
• Friday, May 10, 2025: Bookings open to the General Public

ETA2: Aaannnnd, I just got an email from ABD, but it doesn't have any more information than what's already posted here (but oddly only lists the May 9th & 10th dates) and just has a link that takes you to a page about ABD Land Adventures (same link as on the home page of the website).

ETA3: Well, the booking dates are on the individual itinerary pages. Here's what that says (the criteria for May 9th is a bit different).

Booking will begin on the following dates:​

May 7, 2024: Previous Adventures by Disney Guests who have traveled on 3 or more Adventures
May 8, 2024: All Previous Adventures by Disney Guests

I'm kind of glad there were no new adventures announced so I didn't have to waver on our plan to do Peru in 2025. We're hoping to book the adults only departure in October.

That sucks - Krakow looks awesome

Hopefully it will come back, once things settle down a bit in that part of the world.

Well, at least that makes it easier for my DD, who was going back and forth between the Danube and the Krakow/Prague/Vienna trip for summer 2026. Danube it is.

Yeah, Winston (one of our guides in Germany) was telling me that a lot of those trips got cancelled in 2024 because of low booking. People were too worried about traveling to that area.

Yawn.

Getting ready to book our second adventure. Leaning towards Germany, but so many trips look amazing. Definitely want Europe (already did Rome/Venice/Florence Italy trip). Any feedback on Sicily, Portugal, Ireland, Amalfi Coast or Italy/Switzerland?

I did Germany last August and I would HIGHLY recommend it!! I have a trip report posted in the trip reports thread if you're interested!

Yawn.

And by this, I mean as a reaction to the "new" itineraries-- the existing ones are great!

Krakow is really fun, but from what I understand, bookings for this trip fell when they initially switched from Salzburg. People really like the Sound of Music elements.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Has anyone here done the British Isles trip? Looks like a good mix of destinations and is short enough we could extend in London by ourselves for a few days after. I was looking at cruises vs land tours and a few different companies, really want one where we can hit England/Ireland/Scotland in one trip.
