Summary

This week we are chatting with Leah, all about the fabulous Adventures by Disney tour she took with her family in Greece. Leah grew up going to the parks and had her first Disney cruise in the Mediterranean, which got her hooked on DCL. She's since done four ABD trips, including Central Europe, Costa Rica, Southwestern US, and Greece. She chose Greece with her family and grandparents because it had more downtime and suited their interests. On this tour, Leah enjoyed visiting the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Olympic Stadium in Athens, as well as learning about the history and culture of Greece. She also enjoyed exploring the islands of Santorini and Crete, where she hiked a volcano, saw ancient ruins, and experienced local life, including a visit to a quaint Greek town where the mayor himself hosted the ABD tour. Leah shares all the great food, memories, experiences, sights and friends she made on this amazing trip. It's not Disney Cruise Line, but it's still an amazing adventure with Disney's hallmark service and some unforgettable experiences.
