Adventures by Disneyยฎ Brings Disneyโ€ขPixarโ€™s โ€œBraveโ€ to Life

Scotland: A Brave AdventureAdventures by Disneyยฎ is taking their adventurersย out of the theater and immersing them in the world of Braveย withย theirย first-ever Pixar-inspired itinerary, โ€œScotland: A Brave Adventure.โ€

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 Meridaโ€™s story of bravery.ย In creatingย โ€œScotland: A Brave Adventure,โ€ย Adventures by Disney’sยฎย trip-planning specialists worked directly with the expert storytellers on Disneyโ€ขPixarโ€™sย Braveย production team to incorporate the castles, landscapes and legends that inspired the settings and characters in the film โ€“ 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 Witchโ€™s cottage, and Dunnottar Castle, one of the inspirations for the DunBroch familyโ€™s home.

โ€œโ€˜Scotland: A Brave Adventureโ€™ combines the creative genius of Pixar Animation Studios with Disneyโ€™s ability to bring iconic stories to life in a whole new way,โ€ said Josh Dโ€™Amaro, Vice President,ย Adventures by Disneyยฎ. โ€œFor the first time ever, our guests will be fully immersed in the legends and locations that inspired the film. Braveย is the perfect tale forย Adventures by Disneyยฎย to share; Meridaโ€™s experience speaks to the importance of the family bond โ€“ a cornerstone of any Disney vacation.โ€

Scotland: A Brave AdventureAs with any Adventures by Disneyยฎ itinerary, guests will participate inย authentic, hands-on activities.ย On the Isle of Skye, adventurers will partake in traditional highland games, make Scottish pastries โ€“ a favorite treat of Meridaโ€™s triplet brothers โ€“ and take lessons in Celtic music and dance. While traveling through Inverness, guests will participate in two of Meridaโ€™s favorite activities โ€“ 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 anย Adventures by Disneyยฎย vacation, families will visit the Scotlandโ€™s most treasured historical sites โ€“ Eilean Donan and Edinburgh Castles, the ancient Callanish Standing Stones and Dun Carloway Broch on the Isle of Lewis โ€“ 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 โ€œNessieโ€ and discovering the picture-perfect Urquhart Castle?

Scotland: A Brave AdventureIn the capital city, travelers will tour the Royal Mile, including privately-guided visits to the Palace of Holyroodhouse โ€“ the Scottish home of the Royal Family โ€“ 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.ย Adventures by Disneyยฎย 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 Asiaโ€™s most exotic and culturally-rich cities โ€“ including Saigon, Hanoi, Hoi An, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat.

All of Adventures by Disney’sยฎย itineraries feature two knowledgeable Adventure Guides who serve as leaders, storytellers, companions and personal concierge โ€“ taking care of all the details for a truly hassle-free travel experience.ย Since its launch seven years ago,ย Adventures by Disneyยฎย 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 inย Travel + Leisureโ€™sย Worldโ€™s Best awards 2011 readersโ€™ survey!

Adventures by Disneyยฎ Takes Families to the Far East in 2013

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

All ofย Adventures by Disney’sยฎย 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. ย 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 Disneyยฎย goes beyond the popular tourist spotsย andย gives families a unique view of each destination with another of its signature features โ€“ 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 โ€“ even mom and dad โ€“ 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 theย Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi,ย and private transportation throughout the trip.

Adventures by Disneyยฎย specializes inย 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.ย In the meantime, check out this video preview of the new Southeast Asia ininerary.
