Adventures by Disney® Brings Disney•Pixar’s “Brave” to Life

Adventures by Disney® is taking their adventurers out of the theater and immersing them in the world of Brave with their first-ever Pixar-inspired itinerary, “Scotland: A Brave Adventure.”

This new adventure is a 9-day, 8-night quest through Edinburgh, the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Lewis and Inverness. Families will experience first-hand the history, culture, nature, legends and lore of Scotland that inspired Merida’s story of bravery. In creating “Scotland: A Brave Adventure,” Adventures by Disney’s® trip-planning specialists worked directly with the expert storytellers on Disney•Pixar’s Brave production team to incorporate the castles, landscapes and legends that inspired the settings and characters in the film – creating a Scotland experience that could only come from Disney. Guests will find some of that inspiration in the historic Black House of Arnol and the Gearrannan Blackhouse Village, both of which served as reference for the Witch’s cottage, and Dunnottar Castle, one of the inspirations for the DunBroch family’s home.

“‘Scotland: A Brave Adventure’ combines the creative genius of Pixar Animation Studios with Disney’s ability to bring iconic stories to life in a whole new way,” said Josh D’Amaro, Vice President, Adventures by Disney®. “For the first time ever, our guests will be fully immersed in the legends and locations that inspired the film. Brave is the perfect tale for Adventures by Disney® to share; Merida’s experience speaks to the importance of the family bond – a cornerstone of any Disney vacation.”

As with any Adventures by Disney® itinerary, guests will participate in authentic, hands-on activities. On the Isle of Skye, adventurers will partake in traditional highland games, make Scottish pastries – a favorite treat of Merida’s triplet brothers – and take lessons in Celtic music and dance. While traveling through Inverness, guests will participate in two of Merida’s favorite activities – horseback riding through the Caledonian Forest and archery at Glamis Castle. In Edinburgh, families will learn the art of tapestry-making at Dovecot Studios.

Another signature of an Adventures by Disney® vacation, families will visit the Scotland’s most treasured historical sites – Eilean Donan and Edinburgh Castles, the ancient Callanish Standing Stones and Dun Carloway Broch on the Isle of Lewis – but in unique ways that only Disney could dream up. Why just walk the shores of Loch Ness when you can go on a canoe expedition searching for “Nessie” and discovering the picture-perfect Urquhart Castle?

In the capital city, travelers will tour the Royal Mile, including privately-guided visits to the Palace of Holyroodhouse – the Scottish home of the Royal Family – and the National Museum of Scotland, where they will learn fascinating details of the ancient period in which Brave is set.

This new adventure to Scotland is only one of two new itineraries for 2013. Adventures by Disney® previously announced a Southeast Asia itinerary. Featuring Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, the 12-day, 11-night itinerary will give adventurers the opportunity to experience some of Asia’s most exotic and culturally-rich cities – including Saigon, Hanoi, Hoi An, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat.

All of Adventures by Disney’s® itineraries feature two knowledgeable Adventure Guides who serve as leaders, storytellers, companions and personal concierge – taking care of all the details for a truly hassle-free travel experience. Since its launch seven years ago, Adventures by Disney® has been recognized by numerous travel organizations for its excellence in family tourism and was ranked #1 among Tour Operators and Safari Outfitters for Families in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best awards 2011 readers’ survey!

All 2013 itineraries will be available to book starting today, May 23, 2012.

Adventures by Disney® Takes Families to the Far East in 2013

Adventures by Disney® has announced an all-new destination for 2013 – Southeast Asia. Featuring Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, the 12-day, 11-night itinerary will give travelers the opportunity to experience some of Asia’s most exotic and culturally-rich cities – including Saigon, Hanoi, Hoi An, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat – in a way they may not have thought possible; as a family.

All of Adventures by Disney’s® itineraries are designed to engage guests of all ages by providing authentic, hands-on experiences that leave each guest with memories to share and deeper knowledge of the world around them. Guests on the Southeast Asia will be immersed in these experiences. In Cambodia, adults will take in the unique architecture of the Temples of Angkor Wat while Junior Adventurers live the history of the ancient structure on a tuk tuk vehicle treasure hunt. Families will work together in Laos at an organic rice farm where they will have a hand in each of the 13 stages of rice production. Meal preparation is a team effort in Vietnam where guests will hand-pick ingredients from a Hoi An market, and then learn to make their own Vietnamese delicacies with the guidance of a local chef.

Adventures by Disney® goes beyond the popular tourist spots and gives families a unique view of each destination with another of its signature features – off-the-beaten path experiences. From a horseback ride through the rural villages of the Cambodian countryside to getting acquainted with students at a school in Laos, families will gain a true-to-life perspective of Southeast Asia and its people. Two knowledgeable Disney Adventure Guides lead explorers every step of the way, taking care of all the details and ensuring that each member of the group – even mom and dad – can let go and take in every moment. The Southeast Asia itinerary also includes time to enjoy some fun in the sun along the coast of the South China Sea and features luxurious hotel accommodations, such as the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, and private transportation throughout the trip.

Adventures by Disney® specializes in providing families with the ultimate adventure. Additional details and dates for the new Southeast Asia itinerary and other 2013 offerings will be available later this year. In the meantime, check out this video preview of the new Southeast Asia ininerary.

Important Updates from Disney Destinations

Adventures by Disney®

Given the continued political unrest in Egypt and the recent Travel Warning issued by the U.S. Department of State, Adventures by Disney has made the decision to cancel the Egypt family vacations scheduled through the end of August 2011.

If you currently have a vacation booked with Adventures by Disney® on their Egypt itinerary, you will soon be notified of the cancellation and will be offered an alternate Adventures by Disney® vacation destination.

Disney Cruise Line®

Mediterranean Itineraries
Disney Cruise Line® has modified the 10- and 11-night European cruise itineraries aboard the Disney Magic® to include a call in Palermo, Italy, instead of a scheduled stop in Tunis.

The decision was made in part due to the changing political environment in Tunis and the recent Travel Alert issued by the U.S. Department of State. As always, the first concern of Disney Cruise Line is for the safety and well being of Guests. Destinations will continue to be monitored and changes will be made if necessary.

Mexican Riviera Itineraries
Disney Cruise Line® has recently announced that, for departures through April 17, 2011, the 7-night and 10-night Mexican Riviera itineraries will replace calls to Mazatlán with an additional call to Cabo San Lucas. The decision to modify the Mexican Riviera itineraries was made in part due to the changing environment in Mazatlán and Disney’s continued focus on making the safety of Guests a top priority.

Itinerary Changes to 2011 7-Night Mexican Riviera Sail Dates
1/23, 1/30, 2/13, 3/13, 4/3	2/6, 2/20, 2/27, 3/6, 3/20, 3/27, 4/10
