Just curious about itineraries. DD has been looking at several. We are thinking of spring 2017. The ones she wants to go on have no bookings beyond 2015. Does that mean they are phasing them out or will they be back?
Thanks
 
The 2016 dates come out next week. The 2017 dates won't be out until this time next year. As far as trips being 'discontinued ' I know it has happened in the past (for example..they used to do a DC trip) however I'm unsure of any that have been discontinued recently. There are people on this forum who can probably answer that better than I can. Out of curiosity, which trip is she looking at?

We are taking our first ABD trip next month and so far I love the ease of it all! But we want to take DD overseas in 2017 for Highschool graduation and she has picked out a few trips of interest to her and I am wondering the same thing...if trips are tweaked yearly or completely overhauled etc. Wish ic ould book the one we wanted NOW for then...
 
Many trips are certainly tweaked each year, but it's usually small changes and for the best. For example, they quickly changed the horseback riding during the Southeast Asia ABD to elephant rides. They will from time to time change hotels or restaurants. From what I've seen, it's usually an improvement. They did change the France ABD quite a bit after the first year and eliminate the Loire Valley in favor of more time in Paris. They made Australia longer with the addition of Tasmania. And they will cancel trips occasionally, but it doesn't seem very often. Now I'm curious what the last one they cancelled.
 

Good to know about the dates. Thanks.

She wants to do Italy and Switzerland or possibly England and France. She will be 9 in Spring 2017.

I have found that over the years, the weeks the trips are offered generally don't change much, just the physical dates themselves. So if you look at this year's dates or even next year's when they are released, you can use those to help you decide when you want to go. When we booked our Backstage Magic tour for this past February, we had been looking at the dates prior to the release and noticed that when they did release them, it was the same week as the year prior. So for example, if the trip you are looking at is offered, say the third week of June, you'll find that it will be offered the third week of June next year.

Italy and England/France are 2 of their most popular trips. I wouldn't worry about either of those being discontinued. :)

Sayhello
 
I didn't see Scotland on 2016 itineraries:-(
Was this not popular?
Thanks

The 2016 itineraries will be announced on June 9...just a couple more days. Those of us who have not done an ABD in the past can book on June 10. So you'll see the dates the middle of this week.
