Question about ABD box

[tchrrx]

Does every family receive the exact same things in the box? I'm just curious as to whether a single person receives the same amount of bags as a family. And, if it's not the same, then what does each amount receive?

We are a family of three. Our box included:
- two luggage tags
- drawstring duffle bag
- large tote bag
- 'purse' type bag. (Perfect size for my iPad mini.)

Yup we got two boxes for two ABDs and the contents are the same as yours.

I'll let you know what a single person gets as soon as my box arrives! I expect it will be a couple more weeks...

Unlike previous years when there was a backpack, game case, or something similar for each member of the family, now there is just one of each item, so I imagine that it will be the same for a single person. When you say two luggage tags, do you mean two per person? For 3 people you should have gotten 6 luggage tags.

Are they still arriving about 2-3 weeks before your departures? We are a month out and I am super excited for it

We did receive six paper tags. I was referring to the 'leather' ones.

Thread jacking my own thread....

Do you carry your passport with you?

I travel solo and my box for my upcoming ABD had exactly what yours did.

I only carry my passport with me until I get to the hotel and can put it in the safe. However, I always have a paper copy of it with me. The only time I had it with me was for visiting the Vatican. ABD tells you to bring it because they can ask to see it(although they didn't) because the Vatican is considered a different country.

I went on the Italy trip in May and ABD told us to leave the passport in the hotel safe.

As for my box I recieved the same things as the OP the only thing I don't remember is that I don't know if I got one or two luggage tags.

To concur with the others, I was told by my ABD contact:

Junior Adventures also get a drawstring backpack. Each Guest gets a paper luggage tag and each reservation gets 2 leather-looking tags.

Plus a tote bag and drawstring laundry bag and iPad-document case.

Like the others, I leave my passport in the hotel safe unless told otherwise by the Adventure Guides, and carry a color paper copy of it with me.

I guess once your kid turns 12 and has to pay the adult price, he/she doesn't get the JA gift any longer, because we didn't receive a backpack.

Interesting. I wonder what the actual cutoff for Junior Adventurer is. If he qualifies for that, I'd think he should qualify for the drawstring backpack. But what do I know?

[austraveler]

We had two rooms booked for me and children aged 10,12 and 14. We received two boxes, both including the junior adventurers gift.

 

[tchrrx]

Hmmm.... DD is 14, and we received the backpack. Our trip is a teen focused week though, so maybe that had something to do with it?

 

[Diane0977]

We have a 6 and an 8 year old and did not receive the Junior Adventurers backpack for either...seems pretty random.

 

[tufbuf]

Is the backpack referred to the drawstring backpack? We got that one and our DD is 13.

 

[Calfan]

We have two rooms booked and got two boxes. No JA drawstring backpacks in either. My kids are 9 and 11. Not sure they would use them anyway, but it does seem pretty random who gets them. The rest of what we got matches what others have received.

 

[holden]

No backpacks here either for our DDs 11 and 7. We did receive 2 zipper cases that I assume were for iPads or something like that. I assumed they were for the kids because my parents didn't receive them (they are going on the trip too).
