Okay, it's May....when will ABD 2018 dates be available?!

[Lulu27]

I just got an email from ABD!

As an Adventure Insider, we think you'll love what we have in store for 2018!

Beginning May 17, you get to book 2018 trips a full two days before the general public. And we have a fantastic offer for you. Watch your inbox for more details on May 17!

Thanks for letting us know! We are Adventure Insiders, but didn't get the email (don't get any of the little gifts, either.) Hope we will get to know what the "fantastic offer" is.

I just received my insider email from ABD (10:44am ET) so they probably batch them and thus the reason for the delay. Looking forward to next week!

 

[Cousin Orville]

No email or insider stuff either. The next time I call, I'll request to get back on the list.

How do you know if you're an insider?

No email here yet, either. Thank goodness for the board!

I reached out to our TA giving her a heads up that my wife and I were planning on pulling the trigger on a ABD trip when they are announced. She replied back that they are HOPING to get a sneak peak of the dates and itineraries ahead of the 17 May date. Of course this nugget of hope is only going to feed the fires of desire for that info.

*crosses fingers for Japan*

Yipee! I got my ABD email at 7:38 tonight. May 17th!

So stupid question here...if you are an insider but don't have the email how do you get access to the dates and pricing?

I have the same question...although we won't be ready to book this far out anyway so decided it wasn't worth the time to call and find out.

Right? That looks great and even better since you could do a B2B with Bermuda...

So that our visitors can find information specific to Adventures By Disney, this forum should be specific to information regarding ABD.

Discussion of other tour companies, including comparisons to ABD, Belong in the Other Options thread.

They should be on the website as of 5/17/17, but the general public won't be able to book until the 19th. Don't worry, if you can't find it, there will be plenty of folks on this forum who will be posting about what's new, etc, and can provide you with links.

I actually don't think that's the case. I called Monday, when I got the email, to see if I could get a hint of what the new adventure locales might be. I was told that they cannot say anything till the 17th, and I was told to specifically CALL BACK that day. She said, insiders could call AND ASK for details and/or book on the 17th and 18th and then the 19th the public would be able to book. So it sounds to me like the details won't go online till the 19th. But I'm not sure if she knew what she was talking about, so I'd check the website anyway. I'm just saying call.

My ABD email specifically stated that I would "be able to view adventures and details such as rates and dates beginning May 17."

Has anyone seen the new adventures yet? I'm waiting to see the new releases for next year but I never get the insider emails.

We get Insider stuff sporadically. We did get teaser gifts re Greece and Scotland when those were announced-but nothing this go-around. Hope we aren't getting our hopes too high for a new trip or two that will wow us!

If ABD has an exciting new trip to announce on Wednesday, I don't understand why it hasn't posted a teaser on Facebook or whatever. I don't know about everyone else here, but there's no way I could take advantage of the early booking window, even if I'm really interested in the new offering. The rest of the family wouldn't be able to pull the trigger in 48 hours. DH needs time to mull over new ideas, unless it's Japan! Depending on the itinerary, he might agree to that one in a couple of days.

Unless someone has some insider information, we don't get to see the new adventures until Wednesday. From what I understand, there were no details in the Insider email, just notification of the date. (I wouldn't know personally, since I never got the email.... )

I agree that the lack of teasers is not a good sign.
