My husband and I were looking at the Greece package, but we've never done an
Adventures by Disney trip. It is kind of pricey, but is it worth it? We like the idea of a guided tour.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks!
Welcome to the DISBoards, and to the Adventures by Disney Forum! If you search through this forum, you'll see LOTS of discussions of the very thing you're asking about.
"Worth it" is such a subjective thing. I've been on 4
ABD's so far, and am seriously considering the Greece trip for 2013.
This is the first year for the Greece trip, so no-one has done this one yet. But I can answer you in a general sense, also from the POV of someone who has done 2 ABD's to Europe.
There are so many things that make ABD "worth it" to me. First and foremost for me are the Adventure Guides. They make your trip seem effortless. They take care of your transportation, your luggage, your entry to wherever you go, tours, local guides, etc, etc. It is so wonderful to have someone else worry about getting you and your luggage from point A to point B. To have someone else worry about what to do if something goes awry. And the Disney name gets you entry to a lot of places and activities you just couldn't arrange on your own. Plus, you don't stand in line. At the Eiffel Tower, the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, or going to see The David, we zipped past all the people standing in line.
If you have some specific questions about ABD, feel free to ask questions. I and the others here would be happy to help!
If you want an idea of how great ABD's are, please read my trip reports (links are in my signature!) Also go to the Sticky at the top of this forum and read some of the Reports posted there. As I said, there won't be any for Greece yet, but you can get a feel for what ABD does, and what makes them worth the price.
The Greece itinerary looks really wonderful. And it is one of the longer trips, also.
