Creator's Key Takeaways
Can you go to Costa Rica on your own and whitewater raft or zipline or whatever? Sure. Can you book a wildlife cruise? Sure.
We have been on six Disney cruises. We've been on each ship once and we have not repeated an itinerary and we've only repeated one departure port.
They won a free Adventures by Disney Trip to Costa Rica
I think ABD is at its best when you're talking about a country where it's difficult to plan the trip.

They Won a Free Adventures by Disney Trip to Costa Rica What would you do if Disney called to tell you that you’d won a free vacation? Our guests, Haley and Drew, lived that dream. In this episode, they’re sharing all the details from their incredible Adventures by Disney trip to Costa Rica—an experience they won through a Disney contest. From zip-lining through lush rainforests and spotting crocodiles on river tours to hiking volcanoes and soaking in natural hot springs, their itinerary was packed with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. But Haley and Drew didn’t just get a free vacation—they got an inside look at what makes Adventures by Disney a premium group travel option for families, couples, and anyone looking for a high-touch, guided Disney experience beyond the parks and ships. We’re diving into what surprised them most, what sets ABD apart from other travel offerings, how the group dynamics worked, and whether they’d consider booking another trip. If you’ve been curious about Costa Rica, Adventures by Disney, or just want to hear what it’s like to travel the world with Mickey behind the scenes, this episode is a must-listen.
