Yes, you may stay in Boston before our
itinerary or in New York City after our itinerary. Pre- and
post-night stays in Boston and New York City are available at
special rates if booked through Adventures by Disney Travel
Services, Inc. in conjunction with a land package and cannot be
combined with any other offer. Please contact a Concierge Agent for
further information.
6. How will our group travel between
destinations?
During the adventure, transportation is
provided by motor coach.
7. What is the climate like?
During the summer months of June through
September, temperatures in the day average between 65-90 degrees
Fahrenheit (18-20 degrees Celsius), and dip down between 45-60
degrees Fahrenheit (7-16 degrees Celsius) at night. In the summer,
the weather is generally sunny and clear, with the occasional rain
shower. In October, temperatures in the day average between 60-70
degrees Fahrenheit (16-21 degrees Celsius), and dip down to 40-50
degrees Fahrenheit (4-10 degrees Celcius) at night.
8. How strenuous are the activities?
While this adventure is not considered
physically strenuous, most days will include two or more hours of
city walking. While in New York City, the adventure includes a
gentle bicycle ride through Central Park (mostly traffic-free).
Temperatures may be hot and often humid, so wear cool clothing and a
hat, and drink plenty of water. While nearly all of the trip's
featured activities are gentle if enjoyed separately, the full range
of activities requires a moderate amount of stamina in order to get
the most out of your vacation.
9. What ages are appropriate for
this adventure?
While we welcome children ages 4 and up
on our Beantown & The Big Apple trip, we recommend that children be
at least 5 years old at the time of travel. This recommendation is
based on several factors, such as the duration of the vacation and
amount of physical activity (such as walking and biking). Because
each child is different, call a Concierge Agent to discuss whether
this is the right trip for your kids.
10. What type of meals are served on
this Adventures by Disney Trip?
Typically, breakfast is served each
morning in buffet style and offers a variety of dishes. Dinners and
lunches usually include fish, meat, and pasta or rice entrées;
vegetables and salad; and desserts and fruit. Some included meals on
this trip are served buffet style while others offer a
limited-choice menu. Given the nature of group travel, we regret
that á la carte menu choices may not always be available.
Children-friendly choices are available at all meals. Menu items are
subject to change due to the availability and seasonality of foods.
In order to allow you and your family time to enjoy meals by
yourselves, there are a few meals that are not included in the
itinerary. These meals have been planned in locations where you have
many dining options available. If you have any questions or concerns
about dining at any time during your vacation, your Adventure Guides
will be happy to assist you.
11. Is alcohol included with meals?
Alcoholic beverages are typically not
included with your scheduled meals; however, you may purchase them
at your own expense.
12. Can you accommodate special
dietary needs?
Adventures by Disney will make a
reasonable effort to accommodate some special dietary needs at no
additional charge. Unfortunately, we may not be able to accommodate
all special dietary needs requested. Please contact a Concierge
Agent in advance of your departure to advise us of your needs.
13. Is this itinerary appropriate for
travelers with special needs?
Please note that this vacation includes activities that present
certain challenges to Guests with special needs. It is strongly
recommended that persons requiring assistance be accompanied by a
companion who is capable of and totally responsible for providing
assistance. Neither Adventures by Disney nor its suppliers may
physically lift or assist Guests onto transportation vehicles.
Contact a Concierge Agent to discuss your needs.
14. Are tips included?
Adventures by
Disney has taken care of certain tips and gratuities for all
included meals and activities such as tips for porters,
housekeepers, drivers, activity providers, local experts and dining
room staff for included meals.
Adventure Guide Gratuities: Gratuities for your Adventures
Guides are not included. If you feel that your Adventure Guides have
provided excellent service, we suggest the following discretionary

Adventure Guide gratuity per Guest, per Adventure Guide: $40-$64
USD.

travelers' checks.
15. What if Adventures by Disney
cancels the adventure prior to departure?
Adventures by Disney reserves the right to cancel or reschedule an
adventure at any time for any reason, such as if there are too few
Guests or if the quality of the trip or the safety of the Guests
would, in our opinion, be compromised, such as may result from
unforeseen circumstances (acts of God) or other circumstances beyond
Adventures by Disney's control.
