Episode 218: The Danube River with Adventures by Disney & Amawaterways

Three years ago, Disney and AMA Waterways announced their partnership on a brand new product line for Adventures by Disney, adding river cruises to their already rich portfolio of family friendly European guided vacations. Two years ago, they set sail on the Rhine and now have options on the Rhine, the Danube and new for next year, the Seine! Recently, Elizabeth and Aimee were among the very few selected to experience the first ever joint familiarization trip between Adventures by Disney and AMA Waterways to experience this partnership first hand on the Danube. So we thought we would chat with them about what they experienced and learned from this amazing opportunity.

Episode 121: European Christmas Markets

European Christmas markets have a history that goes back to the late Middle Ages. It’s hard not to get into a festive mood with hearty, comforting food that warms your body and soul, the cheerful and lively atmosphere in the market squares, and the fairy tale surroundings (often majestic cathedrals or city halls serving as backdrops in a town that seems to have halted in time). Our guest today is a not only a librarian and the amazing virtual assistant and podcast editor of our agency but a savvy well seasoned traveler. This past christmas Heidi and her husband Luis journeyed one more time to soak up, revel in and explore the magic of the Christmas markets of Europe that made her fall in love with the season all over again. In all, she  has visited  markets in 14 cities spanning 6 countries (photo is Prague,  market in Old Town Square).

Episode 45: Adventures by Disney

Adventures by Disney is a high-end escorted tour company. Although “Disney” is in the name, the only real indication you get of Disney is in the high quality of the tours and experiences you have on your adventure. These tours are made for families and no, Mickey does not appear at any time during your trip. This is about storytelling and destinations. It’s about coming together as a family and experiencing a place and time at the level of each individual guest. So without any further ado, let’s meet our special guests Alice and Derek and start hearing all about their recent adventure on a 9-day Adventures by Disney tour through Germany with their family.
