| 0:00.0 | I always say I wish I had an ABD guide in my actual life and I could rule the world. |
| 0:14.7 | Welcome back, everybody, the DCL duo. |
| 0:17.2 | And tonight we've got a repeat guest. |
| 0:19.4 | We have Aaron Foster back with us you may remember |
| 0:22.1 | Aaron from a few episodes ago when she was on to talk about the Disney cruise line unofficial |
| 0:27.2 | guide that she co-authors but we wanted to have Aaron back because I think as we mentioned in |
| 0:31.4 | the show Aaron has a ton of experience with adventures by Disney and so we want to talk with |
| 0:36.9 | Aaron tonight about ABD. So |
| 0:39.0 | welcome back, Aaron. Hi, thanks for having me. I wanted to start off with folks by sort of telling |
| 0:43.6 | them what ABD was. Do you want to walk people through Adventures by Disney because it's a pretty |
| 0:48.2 | unique Disney product? Sure. Adventures by Disney is the luxury travel arm of Disney that is not related to its theme parks, although it is a little bit. I'll get to that, but not related to the theme parks or necessarily the cruise, although there's a little bit of that, which I'll get to later. It's traveling the world with Disney, but not at Disney. For example, they go to six continents. So if you wanted to |
| 1:14.3 | travel with Disney making your arrangements and having a Disney train guide with you, and you wanted |

Now, when the last show we had you on, you mentioned, you had quite a bit of experience with ABD. So can you kind of give folks kind of your background, what some of the trips you've taken are and your experiences with it? Sure. I have been on 10 Adventures by Disney trips and my first one was in |
| 1:50.0 | 2009 going to Costa Rica. Adventures by Disney itself started in 2005 with only two destinations, |
| 1:57.0 | which was Hawaii and the American West. And they've since expanded to several dozen |
| 2:02.6 | trips on six continents. There's a couple of different kinds of trips. So there are short escapes, |
| 2:08.9 | which are usually sort of like three or four days. And a few of those are standalones. Like they |
| 2:15.3 | have a short escape to Disneyland, where they get into |
| 2:19.4 | some behind-the-scenes kind of stuff. There's the traditional longer trips, which are usually |
| 2:24.8 | between like seven and 12 nights. And then there are river cruises, which we can get into, |
