Take in the Great Outdoors During the Adventures by Disney Canada Vacation

(Photo: Disney Parks Blog)

Adventures by Disney recently unveiled its lineup of 2019 itineraries, including a reimagined trip to the Canadian Rockies during the Adventures by Disney Canada vacation. With awe-inspiring mountains, unforgettable wildlife and lush scenery as far as the eye can see, this amazing destination is on my “must visit” list, and I can’t picture a better way to see this breathtaking province than with Adventures by Disney.

Unplug and become one with nature as you take part in all-new Western-themed activities in Calgary. Release your inner cowboy as you tour a working ranch with the family that has owned it for five generations. History will come to life as ranchers enchant you with tales of the first cowboys of Canada. And, with hands-on demonstrations, you’ll become part of the ranch’s story yourself.

Savor the sights of the region as you walk alongside majestic bison and elk, and visit one the most picturesque places in the world, Banff National Park. Here you’ll take in the views of stunning glaciers as you walk a glass platform hundreds of feet in the sky and soar 7,500 feet in a gondola ride to the summit of Sulphur Mountain.

The grandeur of the trip will come alive as you visit the colossal Columbia Icefield and journey along Lake Louise, a vibrant blue lake surrounded by astounding peaks that climb into the sky. You’ll truly see why the great outdoors make for the perfect backdrop for lifelong family memories.

Booking for the reimagined Adventures by Disney Canada vacation, and more than 50 other Adventures by Disney vacations, are now open. It’s never too early to start planning your 2019 adventure!

Germany is one of my favorite countries in Europe to visit for the culture, cuisine, history and beauty of this country. And, now there will be yet another reason to head back to this charming country – in 2018, the Adventures by Disney Germany vacation will take travelers to Berlin, for the first time ever.

This newly reimagined Adventures by Disney Germany trip will still include a visit to the storybook town of Rothenburg, as well as a mesmerizing tour of the breathtaking Neuschwanstein Castle. But, next year you’ll also have the chance to experience both the South and the North of Germany in a whole new way.

Grab a Bavarian pretzel because these are the top five “must-do” activities on this Adventures by Disney Germany itinerary:

1. Bike along the Berlin Wall
New for 2018, take a scenic trip on a train from Bamberg to the storied city of Berlin. While in Berlin, bike along the Berlin Wall, an iconic symbol of the Cold War. Prepare to be blown away by the unique mix of old and new, including stunning architecture and a vibrant art scene.

2. Explore Neuschwanstein Castle
Journey to the idyllic grounds of Neuschwanstein Castle, one of the most popular castles in all of Europe, for a fairytale-esque tour of this 19th-century masterpiece. Fun fact: This architectural marvel was Walt Disney’s inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park!

3. Master the Art of Graffiti
Also new for 2018, learn firsthand how the vivid street art of Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt got its start. Beginning in the vibrant streets of Kreuzberg and Friedrichhain, the tour will conclude at Humboldthain Music Club for a colorful Graffiti workshop, where you can create a graffiti canvas of your own.

Speaking of food, Germany offers a variety of culinary adventures. One of the best experiences will be your dinner at the world famous Hofbrauhaus! Enjoy partaking in a meal of traditional and scrumptious Bavarian fare.
