New 2026 Itineraries and dates announced

[sayhello]

ABD has announced the dates for the 2026 season. It includes 2 new and one "Re-imagined" land tour (although I really don't understand which trip the "re-imagined" trip was previously...) While they are not new countries, they cover areas not included in the existing Greece and Switzerland trips.

New Land tours:
Greece: Mythology of Athens, Peloponnese & Rhodes
EUROPE | Athens, Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus, Rhodes, Lindos, Koskinou Village
Bask in the serene setting of whitewashed buildings overlooking the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea in Lindos on the Island of Rhodes.
Stroll through Athens, where ancient ruins stand beside modern shopping and dining areas.
Snorkel the crystal-clear waters off the beach in Argolida and swim over the ruins of the ancient Sunken City of Epidaurus.
Marvel at the impressive Venetian-built Fortress of Nafplio which overlooks the town of Nafplio and offers stunning views of the surrounding Peloponnese region of southern Greece.
Sail the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea off the coast of the Rhodes, with a stunning view of the hilltop where the Acropolis of Lindos stands.

Switzerland
EUROPE | Zurich, Grindelwald, Lake Brienz, Zermatt, The Alps, Gruyères, Lausanne, Montreux
Visit a quaint Swiss village nestled between the calm waters of Lake Brienz and the surrounding majestic mountain peaks.
Stand in awe at the magnificence of the iconic Matterhorn, towering above the resort city of Zermatt, renown for its skiing, climbing and hiking.
Marvel at the medieval Château Chillon, a stunning castle on the shoreline of Lake Geneva.
Learn about Switzerland’s wine growing culture and taste locally produced wines made from grapes grown in the terraced vineyards of Switzerland’s Lavaux region.
Soothe your soul and unwind in the bucolic Swiss countryside amid the alpine forests.

Re-imagined:
London, Paris & Rome: Iconic Europe
EUROPE | London, Paris, Rome
Marvel at the majesty of the iconic Roman Colosseum, which has stood the test of time for almost 2,000 years.
Explore the city’s world-famous landmarks—from Big Ben to London Bridge.
Marvel at the size and engineering of the London Eye—originally the Millenium Wheel—the world’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel and the UK’s most popular paid tourist attraction with over three million annual visitors.
Discover the vast collection of artistic treasures at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Enjoy iconic food from each country, like colorful—and delicious— French macrons.
Make a wish! Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in Rome.

Booking will begin on the following dates:
May 6, 2025: Previous Adventures by Disney Guests who have traveled on 3 or more Adventures
May 7, 2025: All Previous Adventures by Disney Guests
May 8, 2025: Disney Vacation Club Members, Disney Cruise Line Pearl, Platinum, Gold & Silver Castaway Members, Club 33 Members and Golden Oak Members
May 9, 2025: General public

The website has a new feature I don't remember seeing before. It says "Request Booking" under each date,, and takes you to an online form where you can enter the trip you're interested in, and request to be contacted by ABD Vacationistas by email and/or phone (phone appears to be US only). Boy, I hope this is actually new, and I just didn't notice it before!!

which trip the "re-imagined" trip was previously..

the current Grand Europe England France Italy trip is two days in Florence followed by two days in Rome with the country names in the trip title. The reimagined trip has city names in the trip title and now has four days in Rome with no time in Florence.

Sorry, but this feature has been there for a while. I’ve seen it for at least the last year or so, maybe longer….because I’ve inadvertently opened up the contact form.

The Greece one looks nice. We just did those places on a non-ABD last year and I REALLY liked Rhodes. Lindos is quite pretty (though often crazy crowded.). Mycenae is interesting. It's an interesting take on Greece, and substitutes some more popular straight tourist/IG-able sites for a bit different side of history.

That Switzerland trip looks amazing. I would love to go back to Greece, but we have not been to Switzerland yet.

Oh, duh. Thanks. That makes sense. It was late at night, and I think I was thrown by the fact that the Grand Europe trip is still on the schedule.

Sorry, but this feature has been there for a while. I’ve seen it for at least the last year or so, maybe longer….because I’ve inadvertently opened up the contact form.

So the answer is I'm just losing my touch. Not so observant anymore, I guess!

I spent a little time in Switzerland when I studied abroad in Rome many years ago and I've been trying to convince my mom to go and this might do it. It's truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
