Creator's Key Takeaways

We have been on six Disney cruises. We've been on each ship once and we have not repeated an itinerary

This was an adventure they didn't pay for, which is kind of amazing and awesome

I think the answer is Brian. Because I, you know, can you go to Costa Rica on your own and white water raft or zipline or whatever? Sure

Knowing what they cost, would you pay to do one now that you've experienced the free version? I think so

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the packing list provided in the Adventures by Disney digital handbook
Consider ABD for trips to countries with language barriers or complex logistics
