We did The Greek Odyssey Adventure on June 11 - June 20, 2013.
We all had an amazing time on our 1st
Adventures by Disney Trip!!
We had Mary and Kira as our Adventures by Disney Tour Guides.
They were both AWESOME and they both had so much information on Greece.
Mary actually lives in Greece.
If you had any questions about anything on the tour they knew the answers.
They both were GREAT with all the kids.
We loved all the things that we did in Athens, Santorini and Crete!!
There was not one thing that stood out the most because everything we did stood out.
Although I have to say the weather was really HOT - 95 Degrees Farinheight some days HOTTER (They use Celsius in Greece) and HUMID and it rained on us one night.
Disney provided ponchos for us and everyone that saw us was laughing really hard!!
The Hotels and Resort were really nice and very American.
The Breakfast at ALL the Hotels and Resorts were the exact same every day.
When we went out to eat with everyone the food also seemed to be similar.
A little advice when you go out to eat on your own try to find a place that has different food to try and DEFIANTLY find a Gyro to eat sometime. They are GREAT!!
They are different then the ones we have in America!!
All of the other families we meet and our guides (Mary and Kira) were great to be around and we all became friends sometime during our adventure.
It seemed to happen the very first day we all got together.
By the end of the trip our guides (Mary and Kira) were part of our family and we all hated to say good bye.
We actually cried with everyone on the last night.
We got everyones email and said we would send pictures and keep in contact.
I have NEVER EVER had an experience like this before.
It was AWESOME!!!!
I would Never do a tour with the kids again without doing an Adventures by Disney Tour!!
The only bad thing that happened was my daughter's handle on her luggage bag got totally broken off.
It happened sometime after we put our bags outside our door in the morning at the Intercontinental in Athens and when we arrived at the Airport to go to Santorini.
Of course this happened at the beginning of our trip.
Disney would not do anything about it and did not write up a report when we told our tour guides about it.
Although our tour guides did call the corporate office about it and they were told to tell us to file a claim with the insurance company when we got back.
I also have to agree that the flight to Greece and back was a long one!!
Especially on the way home when we missed our connecting flight to fly home.
This IS one of those horror stories that make you NOT want to fly over seas on vacation for a very long time especially with kids.
We flew on British Airways (which was great) and on American Airlines (which was NOT) American Airlines is the Airline that would not do anything for us when we missed their connection.
British Airways said they called American to let them know we were going to be late.
We got to American 2 mins. before the door closed and told us we were too late after running through the Airport to try to make it.
Although we had the trouble with the Airlines on the way back the Adventures by Disney Greeek Odyssey Adventure was Amazing!!
We were so happy we chose Adventures by Disney and Greece!!
We will definitely do another Adventure by Disney Tour again.
We don't know when since they are so expensive.
We will have to save up to do another one in a couple of years.
If anyone has any questions for me I will try to answer them.
Again thanks for everyone for answering all my questions before we left on our Adventures by Disney Greek Odyssey Adventure it really helped!!!!
