ABD Costs for Solo Travelers

[Grifdog22]

We've found ABD to actually be generous on the room pricing compared to other groups with whom we have travelled. Our last several trips were the four of us instead of five (DS having long since grown and moved on), and we paid as a quad, even where quads were not available and we received two rooms. On one trip, another couple cancelled at the last minute, and ABD let the twins (14 at the time) have the extra room instead of us sharing one as a quad, and they made arrangements for this for our pre and post stays as well, with no additional charge. That was especially appreciated. At Kapama in South Africa, the twins were 12 and shared a room together. This was suggested by ABD! The rooms were "kind of" connected to ours, but not totally. The twins thought this was one of their favorite parts (Okay, they had about 25 top of the list favorite parts on that trip).

I've seen another company with extra rooms from cancellations not make them available to guests, and the guides used them for extra stuff. So ABD can be considered generous...

I wish the podcast only trips would reduce the single traveller cost a little. I'd love to join the October Backstage Magic, but as a recently separated single the extra cost is difficult to handle. I did BSM with my (soon-to-be-ex) husband in June last year and would so love to do that tour again!

They're only charging what ABD charges. ABD is the one that sets the prices. But if there's a thread for the October DIS BSM, post there that you're looking for a roommate. I know a few people who have done DIS ABDs that way.

That's a great idea - thank you!

If you get down to a single space left and ABD can do a deal on it please let me know? (I didn't mean to suggest that Dreams were overcharging in any way)

Actually, if you look at the second post in the thread for that trip, Malia78 is already looking for a female roommate. (Assuming you are female).

Unfortunately, ABD doesn't make deals.

We sign a contract with ABD for a certain price for which we are obligated.

Dreams Unlimited Travel offers a booking discount on non-exclusive Adventures.
