    Change to 2020 Greece Itinerary: Sounion instead of Delphi

    Agree with above and just to add the museum at Delphi has great pieces which you both appreciate. Lunch was at a cliff side restaurant which was very nice.

    Adult Only vs Family (ABD Greece)

    we did adult ABD in Greece and there were no teens. In fact nobody under 40 except the guides, maybe.

    we were 38 on our Greece trip. Which was OK. But I get the point.

    2 guides vs. 1 guide and more days and better hotels. I will be OK with 42 and 2 guides.

    I just did a quick comparison of Amalfi tour offered by Classic journeys( $5,099, 6days/5 nights) vs. Disney ($5,499 8days/7nights). Disney trip is a much better value with addition of Florence to the trip and the hotels Disney uses are fabulous. So, grass is not that green on on the other side.

    Airline Tickets

    We did this trip exactly a year ago. Calikris is spot on about all aspects of this trip. Second ABD for airline tickets, they got us best price for Business class tickets on British Airways. Lie flat in the upper deck, can't beat.

    ABD Pricing

    Calypso's post should be an eye opener to all DVC members. My story, took Greece trip last October. Spent 1,422 points. Their street price 19,908. Trip for two would have costed me 13,000. $6,000 I could have used for flights. I have 510 points at Boardwalk. Eye opener!

    Spain 2018 - Day 1 - Barcelona

    We stayed at Westin Palace. I am surprised their Chinese restaurant Asia Garden was very good, especially after a week of Spanish food.

    Rome pre-ABD Italy Trip

    you could do Amalfi coast and Pompeii on your pre-days visit Pisa on your free day in Florence Verona on your post day after Venice. If you add two more days and finish Lake Cuomo/ Lake Giarda, you are done with Italy. In all honesty, Pisa and Verona are totally overrated.

    TIPPING IN ITALY?

    No one is gonna mind a large tip but in general people in Europe earn enough and are not dependent on tips. We were told 10% tip is recommended in Greece by the guides. Tipping is such a personal thing I don't know we can generalize it. Once I left a 5 euro tip for the driver who took us to...

    Greece ABD - Athens Sites not covered by ABD?

    After Acropolis and Olympic stadium we went to a Taverna for a very leisurely and sumptuous lunch. There was a wonderful surprise during lunch, a very good one. You will get tickets for Acropolis museum and after that you are OYO. Taxis are reliable and honest to meter. Musts: . National...

    2017 Destinations?

    we were 32 people in our group of adults only Greece trip. I polled all of them, none of them have heard of this site. But the Disney Brass, looked at me and said " we know about this site and we follow it very closely". So, if we all wish hard it may come true. Japan is most likely add on for...

    "Is ABD worth the $$$?" Discussion thread

    we were 32+1, +1 was a Disney executive traveling with us to fine tune this trip. No younger adults, but your children will easily meld in. Weather was perfect. 65-70 all the time. Zero humidity. It was like doing the whole trip in AC. I will post a mini cheat sheet for future adventurers.

    "Is ABD worth the $$$?" Discussion thread

    we just finished Adults only Greece trip. My two thoughts were: 1. Can anyone do a better job than this? 2. Is Disney really making money on this trip? I am a DVC member using points. I guess my perspective would be different if I am paying cash.
