For those who have done the ABD Japan What did you think about the Tokyo portion of the trip?

Maybe I didn’t need much convincing but I think I will book the Japan ABD. Anyone know when 2025 dates roll out? Gonna work backwards from that to plan Thailand

Another ABD veteran! Really leaning towards it. We went on first ABD when DS was 7 and now he’s 17. We have had great experiences with ABD. Traveled on our own, Thompson Family, and private when DS had kinda outgrown the Junior activities and we wanted a more intimate, nimble group. The Japan...

I’ve seen several of you ABD veterans saying the Japan trip is amazing which has definitely influenced me. Planning on Thailand for a couple weeks and then Japan on the way home. It will be a long trip and would like to plan nothing for Japan. Will go with a travel company, just deciding which one

When are you going?

Hmmmmm. I was totally thinking of booking this ABD for summer 2025 (not available yet) We done several other ABDs. I’m a lazy planner. Is this really that awful of a deal?

In the past, DVC members could enter at 4pm to the evening parties as a perk. Not sure how long ago that ended as we typically didn’t take advantage

MMRR opened back up. We were clipping along in line But the ride broke down Being evacuated now Tough night for Disney

ROR turned out to be 30 minutes In line for Slinky now We have been on TOTx2, walk on RORx1 There is 68 minutes of the party left. The weather is perfect and the kids are having fun. We have each had one ice cream treat. Our tickets with DVC discount, not including tax $145 each I think we...

I’m here now. M&MRR is down ROR was down when the event started We are in line now, 20 minutes so far. Listed at 40 and seems legit We have a ways to go Slinky dog has been around 50 The snack stand ran out of water, no joke. The kids aren’t impressed We did this in May 2023 and it was great

Gleneagles is phenomenal. We preferred it over Waldorf, Ritz, etc It was a great home base for day trips to historic fishing villages

Calypso, I read your Scotland ABD trip report before our trip! I would quote you on our trip, tell DH, “Well, Calypso said….” Your report was so helpful to me!

DH estimates 30-32 were in the lobby queuing for the bus. (From the same intel that brought us guide Larry, so take it for what it’s worth!)

Inverlochy Castle We have a fireplace by the toilet….quite fancy

Our guide Barry is amazing. So kind and so in love with his home country

ABD Scotland was perfect for us at the time we went. But it’s definitely a sizable group. Isle of Skye and Plockton today

I looked up the new Scotland itinerary after I read your post. It doesn’t much resemble the trip I took. Any idea whatever became of the Brave tapestry that they had the ABD groups participate in weaving?

I had bad intel. My DH and DS insisted “Larry” was a guide. One guide is definitely Claire and the other guide has beautiful, curly, auburn hair. They had their hands full with a large group this morning so I didn’t approach. I just watched them from afar like they were movie stars.

Our first trip to Europe with our then 7 year old was ABD Scotland. We are back in Scotland with our now 16 year old, on our own this time. We are at the Waldorf where the ABD is staying! It was Balmoral hotel for our ABD in 2014. Brought back memories to see the ABD gathering in the lobby...
