    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    On the 5K medal, Pluto slides! I don't have a medal from any race that has that feature!

    Virtual 12Ks of Christmas

    Two hundred fifty dollars. To buy four medals. Way, way, way too much money. >:(

    Cabo port adventures: Polaris Jeep or Camel Riding?

    My adult daughter and I did the Camel and Mexican Outback Adventure, and it was the best shore excursion we've ever done on any cruise. I kept a journal on that cruise (it was Panama Canal), and here's what I wrote: Camel Day was great! That was probably the most well-organized excursion we've...

    ABD Survey - Anyone get to take it?

    I got part of the way through and quit, because it kept asking me about money: my household income, my assets, how much per person do we usually spend on our trips, etc. etc. No way was I giving them any of this information, so I X'ed out of it. None of the questions I got to asked anything...

    Aulani Luau or Another Oahu Luau

    One thing to keep in mind when choosing a luau is whether the dinner is a buffet or plated. I found that the plated ones were long on meat. I'm not much of a meat eater, so I prefer a buffet where I can load up on sides. Paradise Cove fit the bill for me. My only criticism of Paradise Cove was...

    No dining reservation on My Aulani?

    Thanks! Looks like the app can be just ignored in this case. :P

    No dining reservation on My Aulani?

    I made a character breakfast reservation through the app, but it doesn't show up on My Aulani (which shows only my room reservation). I'm not worried about it, because I called and the CM said I do have the reservation and her record of my confirmation number matches mine. But still, it would be...

    Halloween at Aulani

    We're first-timers planning an October stay. Does Aulani have any special activities for Halloween?

    Tangaroa Terrace at The Polynesian

    From the 1995 Birnbaum's guide: "Tangaroa Terrace: This sprawling establishment, on the eastern edge of the property near the Oahu longhouse, serves Mickey-shaped Belgium waffles with hot toppings (eggs and other more usual breakfast selections also are available a la carte or buffet-style)...

    ABD Announces Private Adventures for 5 Countries

    How do you Adventurers feel about having so few included meals on these trips? Italy, for instance, is 8 days and has 9 meals. Seven of the nine are breakfasts (breakfast is often included anyway when you stay at a hotel), one is lunch, and you get one dinner. OK with that?

    No More Adventure Handbook?

    I e-mailed AbD expressing my dismay over discontinuation of the Adventure Handbooks. Right away I got the canned response that my message had been received and someone would reply as soon as possible. That was a couple of months ago. Silence. I guess "as soon as possible" hasn't happened yet.>:(

    NYC adventure

    Not cool at all to cancel your adventure! Was it due to lack of participation? We had a big group--28-30, I think.

    NYC adventure

    I'm glad they upped the itinerary. One thing I noticed that has changed for the better is dinner at Sardi's. We had the welcome dinner at the hotel, and it was so bad that looking around at the other tables, I could see that hardly anybody ate it. And our "farewell dinner" was at the Tenement...

    NYC adventure

    Hi, Rapunzellover! We did the NYC trip last fall. It was a lot of fun, although I thought the itinerary had room for improvement. Maybe they have stepped it up by now. Although it's billed as a four-day trip, there are really only two days of touring. The first day is dinner and one evening...

    Changes to Peru itinerary--thoughts?

    It looks like the new itinerary doesn't include the flight back from Cusco to Lima. When we did this trip in 2017, we did have a Lima activity included: lunch at the incredible Casa Aliaga, followed by entertainment by a musical group. We also walked across the main square and got to see the...

    Changes to Peru itinerary--thoughts?

    What are your thoughts on the 2020 Peru itinerary? The trip is a day shorter now and ends in Cusco, and there aren't any activities in Lima. Are you happy with this?

    What time can I make dining reservations online?

    Using the Dutch site worked for me, although it was a challenge to do it in a language I know nothing about. The hardest part was figuring out whether I was a Mej or a Mevr. Dutch is a great language! In reading about the Cable Car Cafe, I learned that "honky tonk piano" translates as...

    Dining reservation help, please!

    Thanks, BadPinkTink! That worked. You should have seen me trying to navigate the process in a language I don't speak at all. Whew!
