Waiting for 2016

carpenta · Apr 9, 2015

I agree 100% with you CaliforniaGirl09. Tauck has already released their dates as well as offering a free pre or post hotel stay on Family Bridges trips. I wonder why it takes so long when I would suspect all the contracts are signed. Early bird gets the worm .......

I believe we will see two date releases...one next week and one in June.

Arrrrrgh! All we want to know are 2016 dates for Australia!

Why 2? Is this a new style rollout?

Totally agree with the frustration about the late release dates! ABD already lost our business for 2016 because of it. We had decided months ago that we are going to the Galapagos next year. We would have just booked with ABD as we really believe in the product. But since I had to wait around and was so anxious to have the trip locked so we could start dreaming and planning, I looked around and ended up finding another company I am excited about. Our trip is booked!

Where did you see the free hotel stay offering for Tauck?

Pre or Post - your choice.

Any insight on what this week's announcement will be?
A release of itinerary information? Some actual dates available to book?

The only thing we know is that it's something "different" (which honestly, can mean *anything*) that allows you to "discover more great destinations than ever on a single trip... in ways you'd never expect" and that Adventure Insiders will get info and be able to book on 4/14, and the general public will get info & be able to book 4/15.

The rest is pure speculation. :confused3

Only the new Danube river cruise has been announced, itinerary and dates are available in the website. The rest for 2016 are still not available, unfortunately.

meryll83 · Apr 14, 2015

Thanks for the update.

I'm actually away on holiday for the expected release date in June, so was hoping to get all done and dusted this week! I'll have to track me down some WiFi in June!!

gcoolie · Apr 15, 2015

Following along. We want to do Australia next summer, so I am anxious to see the dates. This will be our first ABD trip!!!!

meryll83 · May 13, 2015

Not too long to go now!

Can anyone answer a question for me in the meantime? If we do SoCal Backstage Magic in October and MNSSHP is on during the tour, will the tour take us into the party at all, or do we need to get ourselves event tickets and visit separately?

waiting to see what the 2016 Backstage Magic ABD dates are
very interested in this trip for years...but the dates just have never worked in our favor

do we think these dates will be released in June?

You heard any rumors SayHello about the 2016 trips? I'm wondering if there was a reason for the late release (i.e. they are revamping some trips and/or adding new ones) or whether they were just so busy with the river cruises they couldn't get their act together until June LOL. These late and separate release dates are really frustrating--and not good for ABD. It's given us time to seriously look into Thompson Family for China instead. We wouldn't have even started looking at alternatives if they'd come out with their itineraries a couple months ago.

Waiting for 2016
