    Off the Hook

    Can anyone fill me in on the reservations for Off the Hook? Is it something we can do once we arrive at Aulani? Or can we call?

    Brunch

    We tried to book the Orchids brunch for our trip in December, on John and Kevin’s recommendation, but were waitlisted. Does anyone have a comparable or otherwise outstanding brunch spot in Waikiki that’s worth booking in the likely event that we do not secure a reservation?

    Is there enough time in the Backstage Magic ABD to completely cover the Disneyland resort for first time visitors?

    I just did this trip in July and it was truly amazing. You do backstage experiences and will ride some attractions as a group which helps cover some great parts of DLR. The guides are great and we loved the experience overall. We spent most of our free time touring the parks and closed out the...

    Germany ABD during Oktoberfest

    If it's important to you to experience Oktoberfest, then I would definitely make sure you have time to go before the adventure begins. I'd hate for things not to work out or be rushed during OYO time and then leave you feeling disappointed. We stayed elsewhere before the adventure started and...

    ABD 6-day Disneyland So Cal

    I just did this trip in July and it was truly amazing. You do backstage experiences and will ride some attractions as a group. We had an evening and two afternoons of free time in the park. Guides preloaded fastpasses on our accounts, the most was 5 for each of the afternoons and an additional...

    Severe Celiac wants to see the world

    As someone with many severe food allergies, I understand the forethought and concern that comes along with traveling especially in countries where you don't speak the language. I've been lucky enough to travel pretty extensively around Europe and have taken an ABD and European Disney Cruise. I...

    London/Paris or Germany

    Germany ABD 2018 Mini Trip Report *COMPLETE*

    Although we didn't go to Dachau, I'm positive that a couple of the kids on our adventure that were under 14 went on the excursion. It might be worth a call to ABD to see what they have to say.

    Germany ABD 2018 Mini Trip Report *COMPLETE*

    While I do drink occasionally, most of the time I chose the non-alcoholic drink options. I think the inclusion of alcoholic (beer / wine) drinks at the meals was a nice touch, I wouldn't say that it added or removed any value from the experience. There were always alternatives. I would agree it...

    Germany ABD 2018 Mini Trip Report *COMPLETE*

    FINAL THOUGHTS / WRAP UP I started this TR while on the trip and continued my travels afterwards with a Baltic cruise and on my own for other European destinations. I’ve had some time to consider the overall experience and value of ABD and if it’s something I would do again. I think ABD is an...

    DAY 8 - BERLIN This was the last day of our adventure. The scheduled activity for the morning was a Bike Tour of the Berlin Wall. As biking wouldn’t be our activity of choice, we did decide to opt out as did 5 others in our group. The guides did offer the option for a walking guide too. Instead...

    DAY 7 - BERLIN This was my absolute favorite day of the entire tour. We started off today with the obligatory hotel breakfast, which was adequate but not stellar. I think we met in the lobby for 9, but don’t quote me on that. We boarded a coach for our highlights sightseeing tour and had a...

    DAY 5 - ROTHENBURG This morning was one of the activities I was most looking forward to... PRETZEL MAKING! Because the kitchen of the bakery is so small, our group of 28 was split into 2 groups, 9:10 and 10:10. We had no preference since we had been getting up relatively early on this tour each...

    DAY 3 - MUNICH Today had two activity options for the morning either an excursion to Dachau, former concentration camp departing the hotel at 8:30am or an excursion to Deutsches Museum, the world’s largest science museum leaving an hour later. Full disclosure, most of our group chose to...

    Michael was AMAZING! He was a great introduction to ABD, but we soon discovered he was in an entirely different category all on his own. He teaches the history with so much passion and creativity, it's really impossible not to engage with him. It's truly incredible the way he is able to connect...

    DAY 2 We set the alarm for 5:45, way too early for my taste, but we had to get ready, we have to see the castle that inspired Walt Disney! When I was first researching this trip, this was definitely one of the highlights I was most looking forward to. It was absolutely incredible. The bus...
