I Spent Weeks Traveling Europe With Disney — Here's What It Was Really Like

Even though it's a planned group trip, you can easily peel away and do your own thing. Each day before our Spanish exploration began, I'd take a stroll to trendy coffee shops near the hotel for a cold brew. Itineraries always include "on your own" time and meals, which meant I was able to grab dinner at Cal Pep, a fabulous tapas joint with the cutest bar setup. And if you'd rather peek an Instagram-famous hotel lobby or can't-miss modern art museum on a short visit to Vienna or Budapest, you can always skip out on ABD's scheduled programming, as nothing is mandatory.
