In honor of the 8th anniversary of Adventures by Disney<\/a> (June 15, 2005), I asked Carol Gallo, an agent with The Magic for Less Travel<\/a>, to share some of her recent adventure with us.\u00a0 Read on to see what Carol has to say.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It was an adventure of a lifetime!\u00a0 Recently I had the opportunity to travel to Southeast Asia with Adventures by Disney.\u00a0 I have traveled to Europe, Iceland and Northern Africa, but this was my first chance to visit Asia.\u00a0 I looked forward to having a new experience and to explore new cultures.<\/p>\n

This was my second Adventure by Disney experience.\u00a0\u00a0 My first trip was to France several years ago.\u00a0 Adventures by Disney prides itself on offering guests the \u201cDisney difference\u201d which sets them apart from all other tour operators.\u00a0\u00a0 An Adventures by Disney vacation features the first class service and attention to detail that is characteristic of Disney.<\/p>\n

Our adventure begins in Ho Chi Minh City also know as Saigon.\u00a0 We stayed at the Sheraton Saigon which is a great property right in the heart of the city offering all the comforts of home.\u00a0 Our first activity was a cruise down the Mekong River.\u00a0 As we sailed down the Mekong we passed many floating markets offering local fresh fruits and products for sale.\u00a0 Our local guide even stopped and got us a few coconuts to try.\u00a0 The highlight of the day for me was our welcome dinner.\u00a0\u00a0 As we were finishing up our meal our guides surprised us with a real treat.\u00a0 Local performers know as Lion Dancers appeared out of nowhere to put on an amazing show.<\/p>\n

This itinerary is nonstop adventure.\u00a0\u00a0 Before we left Ho Chi Minh City we had a chance to explore the Cu Chi Tunnels .\u00a0 These tunnels were used by the Viet Cong during the war.\u00a0 We next flew to Hoi An and stayed at a beautiful beach front property on the Eastern Sea.\u00a0 Highlights in Hoi An were a private cooking class and lantern making.\u00a0 Next stop a flight to Hanoi.\u00a0 We stayed at the 5 star Sofitel Legend Metrople that offered amazing service.\u00a0 In Hanoi we had a chance to see their famous water puppet show.\u00a0 Early morning we joined a local tai chi master in a nearby park.\u00a0 This adventure also includes a stay in Cambodia.\u00a0\u00a0 In Cambodia a local expert met us at the Angkor Temple ruins.\u00a0 He lead us on a fascinating tour of the temple.\u00a0 We had a tour via Tuk-Tuk which is their local transportation.\u00a0 That afternoon we even had a chance to ride elephants!<\/p>\n

All in all a fantastic trip that I would recommend to anyone.<\/p>\n
