Adventures by Disney Tips

Posted on by AllEars
I just realized I never published these. While not a comprehensive tip listing, it will hopefully help those planning a Southwestern Adventure by Disney… Linda Mac provides the Sedona tips. Try to arrive in Phoenix the day/night before the Adventure begins. Those who flew in the same morning the tour started were very very exhausted … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney Tips"

Adventures by Disney – Reflections

Posted on by AllEars
It’s been several weeks since I returned from the American Southwest. In some respects, it feels like yesterday, and then sometimes – it feels like a dream (sound familiar like a visit to Disney World?). I have looked at the photos continually, reread my blogs and those of LindaMac and am simply amazed at the … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Reflections"

Adventures by Disney – Final Dinner and Goodbyes

Posted on by AllEars
After the rafting we returned back to the Red Cliffs lodge we all had a few minutes to go to our rooms and change, or dry off, or whatever. A box lunch was ready for us and boy was it good to eat LOL. Again, many folks headed off to a variety of activities, but … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Final Dinner and Goodbyes"

Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 6 – Our Last Day

Posted on by AllEars
A buffet breakfast was waiting for us in the main lodge building. We’d be departing at 9:00am for our River Rafting Adventure on the Colorado River! The pre-trip materials described this as Class 1 and 2 rapids. Probably because of the lateness of the season, they were mostly Class 1. However, that was just perfect … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 6 – Our Last Day"

Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 5

Posted on by AllEars
After our amazing morning, we drove into Moab for Lunch on our Own. We had about 2 hours and thought it would be plenty of time to eat and do a little shopping. Not. While the restaurant we went to had decent food, we can’t say as much for the service. This is as good … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Moab Part 5"

Hiking to Delicate Arch Delicate Arch is something both LindaLou and I have been thinking about since we booked this Adventure by Disney.

Sunday August 19, 2007 The next morning, LindaLou and I were up bright and early and caught some of the sunrise. The view from our patio was just beautiful. Because it was Sunday, the ranch held a special sunday brunch and we were spoiled! Made to order omelets, pumpkin pancakes, huge assortment of muffins, pastries, … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney – Red Cliffs Lodge and Moab Part 2"

Saturday August 18, 2007 As mentioned in the previous blog, we left Monument Valley and had our 2nd 3 hour bus ride of the day. We were fairly worn out, not to mention dusty, from the off road adventure, but the scenery was so magnificant it was hard to sleep. We finally arrived at the … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney Red Cliffs Lodge and Moab Part I"

Adventures by Disney Day 5 – Monument Valley Part 2

Posted on by AllEars
Our time in Monument Valley continues……. I decided to play with the camera settings a bit and changed the light source from outdoor sun to indoor Tungsten. You can see how it really brought out the blues and created a neat effect. This spire formation is called the Three Sisters. Here’s a view of the … Continue reading "Adventures by Disney Day 5 – Monument Valley Part 2"
