The promotions just keep rolling in this week from Disney. Today Disney released Early Booking Rate savings on select Adventures by Disney itineraries. 

You can book early and save up to $500 per person on select Adventures by Disney 2017 departures! Book now through June 18, 2016 for departures Jan. 1 – Dec. 10, 2017 (excluding July 1-31, 2017):

So what is Adventures by Disney you ask? It is a tour guided customized trip featuring the excellent customer service you know and love from the Disney brand. Itineraries take you all over the US, as well as Europe, Asia, Africa, and more. It is the only way to travel internationally.

As someone who personally loves to travel I want to see all that this world has to offer, however, it's intimidating book a trip internationally, especially when you have never been there. 

Adventures by Disney takes that intimidation away and throws it right out the window, replacing it with faith, trust, and pixie dust. You never have to worry about accommodations, food, or seeing the sights on these guided tours. You are also treated like a VIP from booking to return. 

It is my preferred method of international travel for sure and now that ABD is offering such steep discounts its a great way to book a VIP trip and save money too!!

Inside Out Characters Coming to Epcot!!

Beginning next month in April 2016 the Inside Out characters are invading Epcot's Character Spot! 

You can meet two of your favorite characters from the movie, Joy and Sadness are coming to Epcot for a magical meet and greet. 

The ever popular Epcot Character Spot has long been the meet and greet spot for the Fab 5. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and others have previously been in the character spot for one on one meet and greets with guests. 

Now in April, guests will journey directly into "Headquarters" and get an inside look at Joy and Sadness' workplace. 

Since debuting last year, Inside Out has become an instant Disney classic and favorite for all. Most recently, the film took home top honors at the Oscars winning Best Animated Feature Film. 

Disney has stated that they plan on sticking with Joy and Sadness meet and greets for the foreseeable future. No word yet on if this will be offered in the Fastpass options. 

NEW: The Diamond Horseshoe Restaurant

In just a few short days Disney will debit a new restaurant inside Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando. The Diamond Horseshoe has been around for a very long time but it closed back in August 2015 for a lengthy refurbishment.

In the midst of the refurbishment Disney wanted to reinvent this timeless classic. The new menu will debut with the restaurants re-opening on March 13th. The new menu will feature an all you can eat meal:

Your show-stopping, all-you-care-to-enjoy meal opens with a Frontier Salad followed by a Saloon Feast featuring your choice of BBQ Pulled Turkey, Spit-Roasted Ham or Stewed Beef with all the fixin’s. Then, enjoy a Campfire Brownie or Apple Tart finale. And it’s all served up with your choice of beverages.

It is rumored that with the new re-opening of The Diamond Horseshoe Disney is also entertaining the idea of offering some alcoholic beverages on the menu. I believe they will wait and see how the restaurants fairs first. 

Currently the only restaurant that serves alcoholic beverages is Be Our Guest and only for dinner. 

Online reservations will open up soon for lunch and dinner. This is a casual dining table service meal. The prices are listed as $15 to $30 per adult. 

What do you think of this new menu and re-opening of The Diamond Horseshoe? Will you go and check out the new items?
