Explore Banff & Beyond with Adventures by Disney

Moraine Lake, my favorite place!

Of all the places I’ve traveled, Banff, Alberta holds a special place in my heart. I’ve visited this breathtaking corner of the Canadian Rockies many times, and it never gets old. From the glacier-fed lakes to the snow-dusted mountain peaks and roaming wildlife, Banff is the kind of destination that makes you feel both awe-struck and completely at peace. That’s why I was thrilled to see it featured on the Adventures by Disney Banff itinerary—because they’ve captured everything I love about it and added their signature touch of magic.

Now, I know what you’re thinking—“Isn’t Disney all about theme parks?” Not quite. Adventures by Disney takes the world-class service, storytelling, and attention to detail that Disney is known for and brings it to life around the globe. These guided group vacations are expertly planned, immersive, and filled with unforgettable moments that make travel feel effortless.The Banff itinerary highlights so many of the reasons I fell in love with the area. You’ll explore Lake Louise, walk across the ancient ice of the Athabasca Glacier, and stay in luxurious lodges that offer both comfort and jaw-dropping views. The Adventure Guides take care of every detail, from transportation to meals, so all you have to do is enjoy the experience and take it all in.

What makes Adventures by Disney truly stand out is the layering of rich storytelling, cultural connection, and those “pinch me” moments you’ll remember forever. VIP access, local experts, seamless logistics, and magical surprises elevate these trips far beyond typical tours.

If you’re dreaming of a holiday season that feels straight out of a storybook, consider the European Christmas Markets itinerary through Germany, Austria, and France. Imagine strolling through charming villages lit by twinkle lights, savoring mulled wine and roasted chestnuts, shopping handcrafted ornaments, and hearing the sounds of live carolers. It’s festive, heartwarming, and perfect for couples, families, or a friends' holiday escape.

Not every itinerary requires a passport. There are stunning domestic adventures too, like the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks tour, offering majestic landscapes and incredible wildlife in the American West. One of the most meaningful experiences for Disney fans is the Southern California & Disneyland Resort Adventure, which includes a rare private tour of Walt Disney’s apartment above the fire station on Main Street, U.S.A.—an intimate and emotional highlight that honors the heart of the magic.

There are also dozens of global itineraries to explore. Imagine ziplining through the jungles of Costa Rica, walking the sacred grounds of Machu Picchu in Peru, sampling pasta in Italy, spotting the Big Five on safari in South Africa, or soaking in the vibrant culture of Japan. For the ultimate dreamer, Adventures by Disney even offers an exclusive Private Jet itinerary—31 days, 6 continents, 12 Disney parks, and unforgettable destinations along the way.

Whether you're dreaming of Banff’s breathtaking mountains, sipping cocoa in a European Christmas Market, standing in Walt’s personal space, or circling the globe by private jet, Adventures by Disney turns travel into something extraordinary. I’d love to help you choose the perfect itinerary—based on real experience and a deep love for these destinations.
