    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    I have never found any reason behind the drop rates. They have always seemed random to me.

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    So, what do we all think is coming next, after Ice Age? (I'm never good at picking up the hints in the previews.)

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    Hello everyone. I'm so happy to have found this page. I've been on Disboards forever, but hadn't seen this page before. A little about me. I played DMK from the Lion King event through to right before the Turning Red event. I was a very diligent player. And then, after 5 years, and just...

    Question about Flights from ATL to Geneva Switzerland

    AMS - we had an over one hour wait in Amsterdam to go through passport control, so I recommend a long layover. I’d do NYC for sure.

    private jet adventure??

    We got it and I immediately threw it away before DH saw it and started dreaming!

    river cruise difference

    The car museum excursions haven’t been in the ABD Rhine itinerary for a number of years. That is unfortunate, but the day in Heidelberg was nice nonetheless. I think that some of the stops/ports are also different - AMA v ABD. At least with the summer cruises.

    Eat, Pray, Love -- But Just the Eat Part: Italy 2023 Trip Report

    Yes, ABD used the Gran Melia for our 2019 trip. Our daughter's room had a more normal shower situation. Only our room had the circular shower of death!

    Eat, Pray, Love -- But Just the Eat Part: Italy 2023 Trip Report

    Oh, and I don't think that Paul was joking. Based on some of his other posts. (Given his apparent great dislike of group travel, not sure why he is on the ABD board. If Paul wants to deal with the headaches of travel - great, go for it Paul. But I should be given the same curtesy to travel...

    Eat, Pray, Love -- But Just the Eat Part: Italy 2023 Trip Report

    The pool was not available when we did this ABD in June 2019 either!

    Adding Additional Days to Trip

    For both our trips, we booked pre-nights with ABD and didn't even look at what the price was at the hotels if we'd booked on our own. (Didn't want to know.) We liked having an easy trip to the hotel and getting into the room and not having to move to a different room. Also, after a long over...

    New River Cruise: Holland and Belgium

    well, the average age of the ABD cruise will be a lot younger than on a Viking boat (by decades). And kids will be kids. But how they impact it will depend on a few things - your tolerance for kids, how well behaved the kids are, how old they are (note that there were some kids on mine who were...

    ABD Australia Christmas/New Year's 2023 - Don't Waste Your Money

    OP - sorry that your experience was so bad. Bad weather and holiday season - very unfortunate combination, as it must have dramatically limited the replacement activity options. I've always been worried about the holiday trips - I mean, a lot of the places that ABDs go completely close down...

    Danube River Cruise - where do they dock in Vienna?

    Oh - another question for anyone who has taken the east bound trip: For the day where you decide to either stay in Vienna or go to Bratislava, how does that work? Does the boat stay in Vienna or travel to Bratislava?

    Danube River Cruise - where do they dock in Vienna?

    I initially thought that my DD would pick the Krakow/Prague/Vienna land tour, so I'd already spent a lot of time planning all of our extra days in Vienna.... And now to take that very long list and pick just one or two things to do in the afternoon - let's just say it is really hard!!

    Danube River Cruise - where do they dock in Vienna?

    After doing the Rhine with ABD for oldest DD's graduation trip, seems that river cruising was a big hit with the family. Younger DD just picked the Danube ABD for her graduation trip. So, off to planning I go. Question for those who have taken the ABD Danube - where did the boat dock in...

    Rhine cruise questions/pre-night and post-night recs?

    We did the Rhine ABD this last summer (and loved it, by the way). Here is what we did: * We spent two nights in advance in Basel - we considered doing a day trip to Bern or outside of Basel for the one full day, but decided that there was enough to do in Basel to keep us interested, as we...

    What is the value for you in ABD trips?

    Value is, of course, a very personal thing. As are travel styles. We are Disney people - so when I told my husband that he could pick the destination for a "big" trip for his 50th birthday, I wasn't surprised when Disney related ideas were what he came up with. After I said no to his first...

    A country that knows what to do with a potato: Germany 2023 Trip Report

    Chuff88 - really enjoying your report. I've been trying to get my younger DD to pick this trip for her HS graduation trip, but I don't think that she will. (I think that Poland/Czech Republic/Austria is the current leader, which would be awesome too.)

    private jet adventure??

    I'm kind of surprised that there were any kids on this trip. (The life those kids must have.... )

    Anyone been on both ABD and Tauck European River cruises?

    I'd also like to hear about the Tauck cruises. I generally find their descriptions of their itineraries less helpful than the ABD one. (I loved our ABD Rhine cruise and think that the ABD Danube itinerary sounds great, but I do like to explore options.)
