Yes, we will be on this trip. We are the from Northfield, NJ and have a son 14 and daughter 12 (well...she'll turn 12 while we're in Venice on 7/26). We travel 4-5 times a year and have been to many places worldwide. We chose ABD on the advice of my brother, who said the Disney Brand does it right, although we have no interest in the whole "Mickey Mouse" thing. It seems like a hassle-free way to explore Italy with kids....
