Save/ShareWhen I go on vacation, I don't want to be bogged down in details, paperwork, and hassles. But vacations often mean just that—dealing with airport transfers, museum tickets, baggage handling, and language barriers.
Luckily, the folks at Disney want to handle the logistics for you, and during the last few years they've been slowly broadening the range of guided tours offered under the Adventures by Disney brand. Naturally, Disney specializes in family vacations where aspects of the trip are tailored to entertain guests of all ages. While the adults are off enjoying a wine tasting, for example, the "Junior Adventurers" can indulge in a pizza party.

Want to stay local? There's Beantown & The Big Apple, where you travel to Boston, Newport, and New York City. In the mood for something more exotic? How does Safari to South Africa sound: you'll experience Capetown, The Garden Route, and Kapama Game Reserve.
Prices per person for the trips start at $2,129 (Spirit of America, 8 days/7 nights), and climb to $4,399 (Safari to South Africa, 12 days/11 nights). Each trip includes accommodations, transportation within your adventure, luggage service, most meals, gratuities, taxes, and the services of two Adventure guides—not to mention that indescribable Disney magic.
Details for each adventure—as well as prices and booking information—can be found at adventuresbydisney.com. [UPDATE: We also discussed the program in our April issue.]

when you quote a price per person is that double occupancy or is there a single supplement for these disney tours? it makes a difference as many times people will say they want to travel but when it comes to putting up the money they back out and I find I travel alone quite a lot, thank you

Sandy, I just double-checked on the Adventures by Disney website, and found this in the fine print on the individual package pages:
"Prices are based on double, triple or quad room occupancy and a single supplement applies."
The actual price of the supplement was not listed. I'd suggest contacting Adventures by Disney directly (877/728-7282) to find out what the exact fee would be.
Based on everything I've heard/read, these adventures sound like they would be ideal for a solo traveler like yourself, as they heavily encourage interaction with the other tour guests. And having spent many a solo vacation at Disney parks, I have found that not only are Disney employees extremely personable, but it seems to rub off on their guests as I've made many friends on my solo trips.
