What would your ultimate Disney parks vacation look like? A week at the Anaheim, Shanghai, Orlando, Tokyo or Paris resorts? Think bigger. The most die-hard (and well-off) fans can now live the incomparable travel experience that is Disney Parks Around The World – A Private Jet Adventure.
Just how incomparable are we saying? Imagine visiting all 12 Disney parks by private plane, plus some of the main landmarks and tourist spots in the world. Six countries, 24 days and 31 destinations in VIP groups of 75 people.
About Disney Parks Around The World – A Private Jet Adventure
This special travel package was introduced in 2022 by Adventures by Disney, the official vacation club of the parks. The initiative was very successful and sold out all its available dates despite its exorbitant price – starting at $110,000 per person.
What does this world tour include for the price of a high-end luxury car or a down payment on a new house? Transport to all destinations in a tricked-out Icelandair Boeing 757 for VIPs, stays at top-rated hotels and iconic locations, 68 meals, transfers to all parks and tourist spots with early access, shopping sprees, optional tours, as well personal access to Disney experts and staff during each visit.
Disney, Park by Park
The experience is priceless if only for the chance to get to know each particular park back to back. Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris (formerly Euro Disney), Disney’s Hollywood Studios (formerly Disney-MGM Studios), Tokyo DisneySEA, Walt Disney Studios in Paris, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Hong Kong Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Shanghai Disneyland.
Besides the parks, tourists will visit India’s Taj Mahal and Red Agra Fort; the Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza in Egypt; France’s Eiffel tower; as well as George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch (as in “Star Wars‘ George Lucas”).
High Price or High Value?
Let’s not beat around the bush: this travel package is not targeted at the average tourist. Vacationing in just one location containing a Disney resort is quite expensive these days. In these post-pandemic times, the average admission price for a single Disney park is around 100 dollars during the off season. This does not include meals, hotel stays, parking, special events, souvenirs, photos, virtual queues for new attractions or much else.
Even the FastPass, a beloved free skip-the-line option for popular attractions, was renamed Lightning Lane and integrated into a paid service (called Disney Genie+ in many of the parks) whose price now varies by park, daily demand and season. A service that, to be absolutely clear, does not include virtual queues to some of the most recent or most popular attractions.
Multiply these stats by a factor of 12 and suddenly $100,000 doesn’t seem like much for what this trip promises.
Bootcamp Tourism
Also, regardless of its VIP status, Disney Parks Around The World – A Private Jet Adventure shares more with tourist circuits throughout Europe and elsewhere. Like an “army in training”, tourists are required to get up early, have a quick breakfast and be punctual so as not to delay the group’s schedule. They have a boatload of activities programmed per day during just over three weeks, which can be overwhelming for both older and younger adults. (The package is not available for children under 12 years of age.)
Due to cost and time issues, many a Disney fan may be better off traveling to Orlando, Florida. Home to four of Disney’s most iconic parks, there they can enjoy as much as they like on their own budget and time.
Final Thoughts
That said, this type of experience has its advantages. Those who can afford Disney Parks Around The World – A Private Jet Adventure will experience the equivalent of six annual all-expenses-paid vacations abroad in less than a month.
In addition, all travelers on a tour usually share the desire to get to know the places they visit in depth. We can safely bet that everyone who decides to take on this adventure most likely defends Disney resorts to the death, therefore camaraderie among the group is almost guaranteed.
Anyway, if you are a Disney fan and you have enough savings to splurge, welcome aboard.
The next season of Disney Parks Around The World – A Private Jet Adventure takes off next July. Find more information or join the waiting list at +1 (855) 996-2442 or by visiting the official Adventures by Disney website.
