I know that alot of people on these boards are quite uptight today over the price increases for ABDs, as well as the removal of the EBD. But I would like to just ask that, before we all go off on a tangent, please read the fine print before you book with another tour company in frustration. I spent a good part of today doing just that ... I went to Tauck's website and even spoke to one of their reps at length today. I, too, am trying to decide where I should spend my vacation dollars. Please take what I have to say into consideration...there are some differences! It would be too lengthy for me to touch upon everything that I learned just today alone when comparing other tour companies' itineraries to Disney's. But to give you an example -- Tauck's Grand Canyon tour is $2,400 per adult, Disney's SWS is $2,569 per adult. So that is not a significant price difference, right? Well, that is the 2009 price for Tauck! They do not have their prices out yet for 2010 and these will not be available until the Fall I was told. So the bottom line is that their Grand Canyon tour at 2009 prices is very close to Disney's 2010 price. Furthermore, Tauck's does NOT provide two tour guides per group, as does Disney. They provide ONE 'tour director' per tour. Also, I compel you to look at the two to compare the activities that are provided with each. You will see a significant difference I feel. Another thing I wanted to point out is that, while many posters are mentioning that Disney has cut the # of trip dates, I also want to point out that Tauck also has very limited weeks that they offer as well. Now I cannot say I compared every single trip, as this is obviously not the case. However, I did compare one of the trips that I was planning on taking with ABD for 2010. Based upon this info, I do plan on booking with Disney as far as I can see right now, unless something significant is brought up that would convince me otherwise.
