You just don't hear much about Adventures by Disney here on Intercot, and that surprises me. We just returned from our adventure in Australia . . Discovery Down Under. If you have not looked into this segment of Disney vacations, I encourage you to check it out. Of course there is no theme park in Australia. Mickey did not greet us at the airport. Nobody told us to "Have a magical day." We did not listen to or sing "Small World" even once during the trip. However, it WAS so very magical!!

I remember reading somewhere that Walt's original vision for Disneyland was to create a place where the whole family could go and acutally ENJOY together. This is exactly what you experience on an Adventures by Disney trip. Our group included people from age 7- 70, and a combination of couples, families, grandparents, and singles. Everyone bonded, everyone had their moments of feeling special, and I expect everyone checked a few things off their "bucket list."

P.S. I do not work for Disney!
