Mario's parents are already in Colombia, where they'll be before travleing to Lima the day before the tour begins. I'm spending my Labor Day with the Eyewitness Guide and Fodor's getting prepped. We leave in 12 days as we're going to Santiago de Chile for a few days before. Finally! Since we...

We got our backpacks last week - a nice improvement over the bags last year. On our way soon!

We had another three hours of play in the schedule because we ended in Magic Kingdom when it was Evening Extra Magic Hours, so I think we could have absorbed any delays that might have resulted from using Disney transportation. However, the park-to-park transportation seems to be pretty sketchy...

I just cut-and-pasted the pictures, and didn't realize they weren't displaying. I'm not sure I know how to load the pictures up correctly--a weekend project! We had lunch at Flame Tree Barbecue and dinner at the Tune In Lounge next to 50s Prime Time. We had a family weekend earlier in the...

I'm pathetic. I'm almost as excited about the August announcement of next year's tours as I am our September trip to Peru. I'm eagerly awaiting reports on the Alaska tour..... Anyone? Bueller? What would I like to see? I don't generally indulge in such fevered speculations, but wouldn't...

For our latest trip to Walt Disney World at the end of May, we took my parents to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. We had a great time with them, but it did mean we did fewer of our favorite attractions than typical and we moved at much slower pace. We stayed a few extra days, and...

4 adults, earlier than the 8:25 PM reservation we have now.

We are going on the exact trip you mention, the September 22 adults only, along with my partner's parents. There's another couple on this board who are also going. We went last year on the Southwest Splendors trip (also adults only) that goes to Sedona, Grand Canyon, and Moab. As I said then...

Our trip was very different. We were 31 people, and absolutely everyone was a Disney fanatic of some stripe. Most were DVC owners, many had already been on another AbD, and all were regular visitors to the parks. However, it wasn't what we talked about for very long. Think of it as a...

I'm exactly the opposite! I have boxes of actual photographs and now megabytes of digital files, and exactly none of them have ever seen the light of day. That's why I fell in love with the PhotoBook--I have something to show. It's a tiny fraction of the pictures we took on the trip, but it's...

I think it's a bit misleading when you're working in the PhotoBook editor because the pages look small, but in print the pictures on the three and four phote page layouts are still good sized. I zoomed in often for those pictures and they came out quite well. The final page is about the size of...

This may be slightly off topic, but I received my PhotoBook today from my Adventurs by Disney tour in September. Fantastic! If you buy one, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Here's my story. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2027150 I had a discount coupon (for reasons I...

After many painstaking hours and a bit more than a week of waiting, our PhotoBook arrived today from our Soutwest Splendors tour in September/October. I have one word: Wow. Or three words: Totally worth it. Here's the story. We were on an adults-only Southwest Splendors at the end of...

I know I should know the answer to this, but how did you get the offer to pre-order your PhotoCD and PhotoBook? I assume you had a package or some other sort of reservation? Also, did you have to get the PhotoCD in order to to get the PhotoBook? What was the pricing? Thanks!

I bought the Eyewitness Peru guide a couple of weeks ago (the very colorful DK Publishing book), and Amazon infored me this morning that the brand new edition shipped today. We're actually going on the Saturday before to Santiago de Chile as we couldn't get the flight on the day before using...

Wow! That's a pretty quick drop from the mid 80s/40s we had at the end of September. We broke 'em in on our trip. Actually, nobody realized until we were almost finished that it was their first tour together since they worked so well as a team. Korey said that he was angling for Costa Rica...

We had several people in our group in their 70s. They grouped people into boats roughly by what I'll call "ability to tolerate adventure." The more senior boat made a gentle float down the river, and I think other than some wet feet getting in and out of the boat, emerged dry. The "rapids" are...

Our raft got wet because Princess Cindi's boat made an unprovoked attack. Oh, and then we steered into the rapids deliberately. That's when my partner and Nordkin's partner went for a sponaneous swim in the Colorado! I believe it's the Cowboy Club, and I'd agree, looked like the best place in...

We're arriving on May 24 (or actually, we're arriving on Friday, May 22, but won't use points for the weekend), so the seven-month window opens on Friday. I'll be up early that morning (I'm in Washington state) to make the call!

We're planning to take my parents in May 2009 for their 50th wedding anniversary (actually, a few weeks after). We'll be there at the end of Flower & Garden, and we'd like to stay at an Epcot-area resort after having stayed at Wilderness Lodge for our last trip. I lean towards BCV, although I'm...
