Anyone just back from the Winter Wonderland trip? I'd love to get some feedback on how it was. We are considering this trip for next Christmas

Also interested - interested in going the end of 2013

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Winter Wonderland version of that tour is a shorter one only offered in December....

If you're thinking next summer, you might be looking at the regular Wyoming trip.

Whoops. I meant next Christmas Week

Also interested in feedback. Considering this for Christmas 2014.

Ditto.

Bumping - does anyone know anyone that went on this?

We are booked for the day after Christmas: Me, DH, DS (will be 6).

We are so excited and would love to hear anything about the trip. We are doing Ireland this summer and did Greece last summer but don't know much about this trip (other than it looks amazing). Would love to hear anyone else's experiences.

I'm a little confused by the date on your post. "Booked for 5/25-30". Are you booked for the 12/26 - 30, 2013 trip?

You're the first person I've heard of who signed up for this trip. Please be sure & report back after you've gone!

Sayhello

acndis · 02-25-2013, 01:03 PM

Yes, I meant 12/26-30. Who knows where my brain was...We are doing a pre- and a few post- days, too so I think that's where the 25th came from but the 5---no idea!

Grifdog22 · 04-09-2013, 10:51 AM

Just bumping this thread again - would really like to hear from anyone who went on this adventure last year. Trip report? We have been considering this trip for some time, but wanted to hear what folks thought.

Grifdog22 · 04-09-2013, 02:57 PM

We've been tracking this trip since first announced and almost booked it for this past holiday season when it was first announced. So with no trip reports (ok I'm spoiled) I finally broke down and called in to ABD, twice. They are so friendly and peppy. We were leaning very heavily to the first of the three weeks this is offered -over Christmas. We were advised they may cancel this one. The other two weeks look to be a go, however. Was pleased to hear these trips max out at 24 guests. Both trips have 5 kids on them. Our twins will be 14 (Our three previous trips the kids were all kid rate...now the adult rate for all!)

We are looking at this a bit harder now...and would like to do a pre/post day.

My wife, on the other hand, thinks we are made of money and wants to do the Equador Galapogos which looks to be a great trip, but $2600+ each more...and the trip reports on the Disboards made up her mind...

I'll keep the group posted as we find out more details.

acndis · 04-09-2013, 05:08 PM

Grifdog,

As I said earlier, we are on the 12/26 trip. My TA said it was about 60% full a month or so ago. I have already booked our flights because we were using FF miles and that's a tough time to get an award ticket! We are flying in on 12/25 and leaving 1/1. We are very excited about the trip but don't know much either. We have not been able to book pre- or post-nights with ABD yet but they think that info will be available soon.

I also would love to hear from anyone that's been on the trip or been to Yellowstone during that time of year.

My son is five (will be six at the time of the trip). This will be his 3rd ABD (after Ireland this summer; we also did Greece). We are really excited about this one because we almost never get snow in South Texas. Post if you decide to book (especially on our trip!).

acndis - sorry not able to help you out with your question but wanted to ask about your Greece experience with your son. My daughter will turn 5 this summer and I was wondering if that's too young. Although we'll probably wait until next year. My other daughter is 10 and son 8 which I think are good ages for this trip and don't want to wait too long for them, I want be sure my youngest will be able to experience and enjoy the trip as well.
