    New Offer: Special savings from ABD on Danube River cruises for 2017.

    Well, too bad for them (Disney), although I know they aren't hurting for money. Europeans have more vacation time than Americans, and are very willing to take vacations to other places. And so far, of the 11 countries I've been to during the last year here...everyone has spoken English to a...

    New Offer: Special savings from ABD on Danube River cruises for 2017.

    Is that not what these new european river cruises on the Danube and Rhine are doing? Or the special Europe Christmas market river cruises? Or the increased number of ABDs in Europe, Asia, and Africa? Or the new DSL cruises sailing to the Norwegian Fjords, Northern Europe, British Isles and...

    New Offer: Special savings from ABD on Danube River cruises for 2017.

    I really want to book this river cruise. And probably will in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully it wouldn't get cancelled. If disney wants to enter the European market more (which they are trying to do), they need to advertise a lot more here in Europe. I tell people I've been on a disney...

    Danube River Cruise Meets Thread

    Also...did you use a TA to book your river cruise? I have an Italy ABD in May and used Dreams Unlimited to book that. Was thinking of using them again to book the Danube cruise. Just wondered what everyone else did.

    For the Travel Hackers: ABD Charge on Sapphire Reserve

    I must have missed it in this thread somewhere - why downgrade the Chase Sapphire Preferred to Chase Freedom? We just got our Chase Sapphire Reserve cards, and have had the Chase Sapphire Preferred cards for years.

    All of a sudden we have absolutely no interest in WDW (gasp)!!

    How do you find buy one get one for river cruises? I would like to do a river cruise, but have a friend who works the Amawaterways river boat tours, and she said they weren't great for kids. But now disney has partnered with them, so that might change this...but then there is the price. Are...

    All of a sudden we have absolutely no interest in WDW (gasp)!!

    Thanks for the point quotes. We looked into the types of places and trips we enjoy taking and bought points accordingly. We banked for this year, as my husband doesn't have a lot of vacation time left in this calendar year (just did a 12 night Norwegian fjords cruise). Because of the cruise...

    All of a sudden we have absolutely no interest in WDW (gasp)!!

    We just got off a disney cruise where we bought into DCV this last week. Hubby and I are not disney goers, but we this the brand is such good quality, and the options to be able to go to other places led us to believe that this is a good option for the way we vacation. I completely agree with...

    Trip insurance

    I recently booked an ABD trip for May 2017. Not sure what kind of insurance coverage I should purchase.
