I still have some double, triple, and quad rooms left.
This is a great discounted rate, and Disney is anxious for me to open up the block to mix in with others they have on the waiting list for this date. If you look at the pricing for the week prior that is currently available to the public, the group space I have offers an $800/p savings over what you see here for the week prior to ours on June 28, 2014 See here http://www.adventuresbydisney.com/central-south-america/costa-rica-vacations/#!rates-dates So, this is a phenomenal offering that I still have access to as a private group. (Note: the pricing doesn’t include air.)
Some of you will know the quality immediately, and have no issues with the value of an ABD trip; but to others who haven’t heard much about ABD, this might seem a little expensive for a vacation, even with the $800 savings. If so, it’s likely because you’ve not yet been exposed to how special an Adventures by Disney vacation is.
- ABD provides an authentic family experience, with activities for everyone.
- ABD works on a 4-5* model, with accommodations that are true to destination.
- There is focus on VIP treatment, and admissions to private tours.
- Two adventure guides accompany the group of max 40 people the entire time (this is not your 4000+ guest cruise experience!)
- Generally, ABD guides are from all walks of life, and are renowned for their knowledge,insights, and passion.
- With two guides on a trip, you generally will have one guide who hails from the US or Canada, and another who hails from the destination For Costa Rica, the gudes will speak both English and Spanish.
- The two adventure guides will be enthusiastic guides, trained in family fun.
- The two adventure guests are also supplemented by local guides along the way (e.g., a naturalist to teach us about the turtles) – and it’s possible there could be 5 guides with our group at any one time – that’s a terrific guide to guest ratio!
- ABD focuses on authentic dining experiences too. (And if there are food allergies, the guides will manage that for you, and engage with the chefs along the way on your behalf.)
- ABD focuses and nature and adventure – you get close to nature on this trip
- ABD is a group travel company – the minute you step off the plane, you are greeted by a friendly face, and you never have to touch your luggage
- ABD focuses on storytelling not lecturing – guides focus on making learning fun, and bringing history to life (e.g., the guides might dress as historical figures)
- ABD helps you strengthen and build relationships– you strengthen your own family bonds, doing something fun together; but you’re also travelling with, say, 8 other families – often making life-long friends along the way
- ABD is run by an entertainment company, so Disney provides resources, and their knowledge, to creating activities for kids from 4-18, while still having adult-oriented activities going on at the same time (e.g., kids can do a scavenger hunt in an art museum, while adults learn on a different level with a docent)
- With the Costa Rica adventure, there are lots of opportunity to push yourself if you’re up for anactivity out of your comfort zone. There is lots of peer support (not pressure) to encourage you along the way – but if you’re just not into the ziplining, that’s ok too – with two guides, no one is ever left alone. No one is ever forced to do any activity.
- There is a lot of programming for “junior adventurers” (guests 4-11) with activity for them.
- There will also be special activities/ learning styles geared towards older children/ teens.
- One night on the trip will have “junior adventurers” evening, with a special kid-friendly activity planned to make them feel like VIPs (eg. pizza and movie night). This affords mom and dad the opportunity for a “date night” if they choose (but many times the parents want to be with the kids!)
- ABD are great for multi-generational family trips. Grandparents often accompany mom and dad and grandkids on these family adventures – you can choose to do as much or as little as you wish.
- There will be plenty of time to connect as a family – but – your kids will also have other kids to interact with, in a safe and secure environment, all while exploring a new culture, and getting to do some pretty awesome things
I have already done an Adventures by Disney trip to Ecuador and Galapagos last year, and I can tell you, they know how to take care of every little detail.
