Adventures by Disney is the world, guided the Disney way.
This is not the theme parks. It is a guided, all-handled trip led by Disney Adventure Guides who carry every detail. It suits families who want the destination without a single piece of logistics on their plate.
Not the parks. The whole world, guided.
Adventures by Disney takes you to real destinations all over the world on a guided group trip. Two Disney-trained Adventure Guides travel with you and handle every single detail, from the schedule to the meals to the VIP and behind-the-scenes access that most travelers never get to see.
When kids come along, there is special programming built just for them, called Junior Adventurers, so the younger travelers stay engaged and the grown-ups get to relax. To be clear about what this is: it is not the theme parks, and it is not a Disney Cruise Line sailing. It is guided travel to the world's great places.
I specialize in Disney vacations as an expert with Creating Magic Vacations, a Gold Earmarked by Disney travel agency, so this is the kind of trip I plan and love. Tell me where you want to go and who is coming, and I will match you to the right adventure.
Adventures by Disney is premium, and it sells out.
These are small-group, premium-guided trips, and the popular departures fill fast. Getting the right itinerary and the right date takes someone who plans them.
Everything handled.
Your Adventure Guides check you in, carry the logistics, and recommend the meals. You just show up and enjoy the trip. Nobody in your group has to be the planner or the tour leader.
The right itinerary.
There are more than 40+ itineraries, and matching the destination, the season, and your kids' ages matters. The wrong pick is a fine trip. The right pick is the one your family talks about for years.
Book early.
Small groups and premium guiding mean the popular departures fill quickly. If you have a specific week or a holiday date in mind, the earlier we lock it in, the better.
Where Adventures by Disney goes.
The guided land trips span Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the United States, more than 40+ itineraries in all. New for 2026 there are additions including Switzerland and a Greece adventure that travels through Athens, the Peloponnese, and Rhodes.
Each trip is led by two Adventure Guides who open doors most travelers never reach, from private tours to special dinners. When kids come along, the Junior Adventurer activities keep them engaged with things built for their age, not just tagging along on the grown-up itinerary.
Multi-generation families love these because nobody has to be the trip planner. Grandparents, parents, and kids all get to be on vacation at the same time.
Adventures by Disney on the river.
Adventures by Disney also runs river cruises in Europe, operated with AmaWaterways. That includes the Danube and the Rhine, plus a new 2026 Rhône itinerary that travels through Lyon and Provence aboard the AmaKristina.
These trips pair the ship of a premium river cruise with Disney guiding and kids' programming. You get the intimate river vessel and the port-town mornings, and you also get the Adventure Guides and the activities that make it feel like a Disney trip.
If you want an independent, non-guided river cruise instead, without the group guiding, I plan those too. Take a look at my river cruises page and we can compare.
What people ask first.
What is Adventures by Disney, exactly?
It is a guided, all-handled group vacation to real destinations worldwide, led by Disney Adventure Guides. It is not the theme parks and it is not a Disney cruise. You travel with a small group to places like Italy, Iceland, or Costa Rica, and two guides handle the logistics, the access, and the activities.
Is it just for families with young kids?
No. Families of all ages love it, and there are adult-focused departures too. When kids come along, the Junior Adventurer programming keeps them engaged with activities built for their age. It works for multi-generation groups just as well as it works for couples.
How is an Adventures by Disney river cruise different from a regular river cruise?
The ship is a premium AmaWaterways river vessel, so the ship experience is the same high standard. What is added is Disney: dedicated Adventure Guides and kids' programming on board and ashore. If you want the independent version instead, I plan those too. See my regular river cruise options.
What is included?
Most everything. Your Adventure Guides, most meals, the activities, and the exclusive access are all part of it. Each itinerary is a little different, so I show you exactly what is included on the trip you are considering before you decide.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. The groups are small and the guiding is premium, so popular departures sell out well in advance. If you have a specific summer or holiday date in mind, booking early is how you get it.
Do you charge a planning fee?
No. The supplier pays my commission. You pay the same price as booking direct, and you get my planning and support included at no extra cost.
