From Castles to Camels: My Adventures by Disney Journey to Love.
If you've followed my travel tales for any length of time, you know there's one name that blends immersive cultural experiences with legendary Disney storytelling better than anyone else—Adventures by Disney. More than just a tour, these guided group vacations are sprinkled with pixie dust and planned with precision. From private access to iconic landmarks to the impeccable service of Disney-trained Adventure Guides, every moment is a memory in the making.
A Brief History of Adventures by Disney - Launched in 2005, Adventures by Disney began with just two itineraries and a dream: to bring families and adventurers of all ages closer to the magic of the world. With their signature combination of expert storytelling, local guides, and world-class service, Adventures by Disney has grown into a global portfolio of over 40 destinations across six continents. From European river cruises to African safaris and short escapes to bucket-list journeys, these aren't your average vacations—they're curated experiences that take the stress out of travel and replace it with wonder.
My Adventures So Far I've been fortunate enough to experience four magical Adventures by Disney:
Inaugural Danube River Cruise – A floating fairytale through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. Castles, schnitzel, and stories galore.
Enchanted China – From the Great Wall to pandas and Peking duck, it was a journey steeped in ancient wonders and modern magic.
London Short Escape – A whirlwind of royal charm, backstage theatre moments, and one very memorable rib boat ride on the Thames.
Morocco – A kaleidoscope of color, spice, architecture, and adventure that captured my heart in more ways than one.
Magical Morocco: The Beginning of Our Forever This latest journey to Morocco wasn’t just another stamp in the passport—it was the start of something unforgettable. From the palm-filled oases of Skoura to the bustling medinas of Marrakech, every stop was a sensory feast. But the true magic happened in the Sahara Desert.
On a cloudy evening that parted just in time, surrounded by golden dunes, I proposed to Dr. Greg in the middle of the Sahara, and he said yes. With close friends nearby, our amazing Adventure Guide Robyn leading the way, and the glow of the sunset dancing against the sand, we were joined by camels, wine, and magic to witness the most important moment of my life so far. There were no crowds, no castles—just the sound of the wind, the glow of lanterns, and a love that’s only grown stronger with every mile.
In the coming days, I’ll take you through each unforgettable destination we visited in Morocco: the vibrant souks, the ancient kasbahs, the breathtaking landscapes, and the once-in-a-lifetime experiences that only Disney could orchestrate with such heart.
Our first stop? Casablanca—a city where cinematic nostalgia meets contemporary cool. From the grandeur of the Hassan II Mosque to sipping mint tea with the Atlantic breeze in our hair, Casablanca set the tone for the adventure ahead. It’s more than just the name of a classic film—it’s a thriving, complex, and beautiful gateway to Morocco that welcomed us with open arms.
Stay tuned for more stories as we journey deeper into this magical land.
