The podcast is fantastic. The ABD discussion starts in the 62nd minute or so. These folks doing the podcast are spot on. I'm so glad to hear someone discussing our frustrations. I completely agree with their discussion. Disney execs surely are listening to this. I wonder if they think they...

For my family of four the Germany trip has increased from $9636 to $13,016. That is a 34% increase. To make this increase worse, the dollar is 6% stronger against the EURO today from the same time last year. I'm not an economist, but this increase looks to me like the equivalent of a 40%...

Received an e-mail from Adventures by Disney trying to sell 2009 itineraries. "Dear Chad, This could be one of the best opportunities ever to experience an Adventures by Disney vacation. Right now, you can still book select Adventures by Disney 2009 season itineraries, departing October...

Oh yeah. I talked with my AAA travel agent yesterday. She is expecting a call from me on Monday with our selected dates for the Germany trip. I just hope the new itinerary comes out Monday, and I want that early booking discount. I still check a couple times a day though just in case...

You should be able to take the photo files from the photo CD and store them to your hard drive. Then upload them to the shutterfly site from your hard drive just like your other pictures. You possibly could upload them directly from the CD to Shutterfly. We just got our book in from our...

Wow Abby, thanks for posting this. The pictures are amazing. I am sure many will try to take this trip after reading your report. Disney should give you a rebate! Chad

Totally agree. I only had one page with a lot of text, but it was nice to have the option of adding it. You can also change fonts, font sizes, and font colors. They have a zillion layouts and backgrounds available. I loved being able to put 16 images on a single page. I have several 1 - 12"...

I've completed two Disney Photopass photobooks and love them. But I just completed my first Shutterfly photobook. Shutterfly's online creator is so much better than Disney's it is ridiculous. The site runs so much faster than Disney's it is amazing. I would love for Disney to have an...

Okay I feel much better now. I know it is an inconvenience to have to rebook something, but it is good to know they are trying to take care of their customers in the unfortunate cancellation. Thanks for the comments to my post. I appreciate both of you clearing up my concern. Chad

Wow! Planning on taking the Germany trip next year. That is really crazy they would cancel that close to the trip. Planning on using Mileage Plus miles for the flights. I'm sure we would lose them if they canceled the trip like that. I'm so sorry to hear that. Chad

That app is called Shazam. It is easily my favorite iPhone app and it is free. I tried it on the music from the Peru trip on the ABD website, but it was unable to recognize it. Chad

I once gave a faculty training workshop and had a teacher come to me and the superintendent after the class and say, "All you did was teach us a bunch of common sense. But it was excellent. I absolutely loved it." I responded, "Common sense is not very common. And common sense packaged...

Check the top of this page. He is the sponsor of this site. I've used tourguidemike.com for three trips now. His recommendations are excellent. All of my friends are using him as well now. He has a color chart for each day. It tells you whether it will be red, yellow, or green. Go to...

Our family and our great friend's family will go on the Germany trip summer of 2010. We will have a total of 8 of us. 4 Adults 1 boy - 10 3 girls - 9,9,8 We can't wait. Talk about almost every time we see them. Chad

This month's AAA magazine states that January is AAA Disney month and that there are discounts available for Adventures by Disney. I would contact your local AAA travel agent to check on the details. Chad

We are also waiting for 2010. We will have 3 girls and a boy ages 11, 9, 9, and 8. We would love to hear what you think about this trip for both boys and girls. From what I have read, Disney does a great job on this trip of making it exciting for both. Chad

Thanks for the comments Eva. Our friends at WDW right now went through the presentation Friday morning. They were blown away. I think they are going to try to convince us to buy in as well as them. In a nutshell, if you are going to go to WDW once a year for the next several years and...

This calculates to $7 per point. [ex. $3399 cash or 486 points. $3399/486=$6.99/point] I really don't understand how DVC works. If you buy a timeshare that gives you 100 points a year, it appears to me you are only getting $700 worth of trip value on ABD. Your annual dues eat into this...

Bumping this back to the top and reminding that if you send me a PM, I need your e-mail address to send it to you. I can not PM you until I have 10 posts. There are a few of you who have PM'd me without your e-mail, so I can not send a response. You can also e-mail me. My e-mail is chad...
