Adventures by Disney is expanding its lineup for 2027 with a mix of brand-new destinations and a reimagined Italy itinerary that honestly looks pretty incredible for travelers wanting more immersive, guided experiences.
The new offerings include:
- A brand-new Thailand itinerary
- A new Croatia & Slovenia adventure
- A refreshed Sicily & Amalfi Coast experience in Italy
Thailand Brings Culture, Cities, and Coastlines Together
The new 10-day Thailand itinerary combines bustling cities, cultural experiences, and tropical scenery into what feels like one of the more diverse Adventures by Disney trips yet.
Highlights include:
- Exploring Bangkok and the Grand Palace
- Visiting the ancient city of Ayutthaya
- Cruising Bangkok’s canals by private boat
- Cooking experiences in Chiang Mai
- Visiting a tea garden and elephant sanctuary
- Kayaking through Phang Nga Bay
The elephant sanctuary experience especially stands out because it focuses on conservation and education rather than entertainment-driven interactions, which feels like the right direction for experiences like this.
Croatia & Slovenia Looks Like a Hidden Gem
The new Croatia & Slovenia itinerary might quietly be one of the most interesting additions.
The eight-day trip blends mountain landscapes, medieval cities, and Adriatic coastlines with stops including:
- Ljubljana and Ljubljana Castle
- Lake Bled
- Velika Planina
- Dubrovnik
- The Elaphiti Islands
One of the coolest experiences sounds like kayaking along Dubrovnik’s ancient city walls before heading to Lokrum Island.
It’s the kind of destination pairing that feels a little less expected for Disney, but honestly fits perfectly with the company’s push toward more culturally immersive travel experiences.
Sicily & Amalfi Coast Gets Reimagined
Disney is also updating its existing Sicily itinerary into a broader Sicily & Amalfi Coast adventure.
The reimagined trip includes:
- Mount Etna exploration
- Teatro Greco in Taormina
- Sicilian puppet workshops
- Pasta-making classes in Gragnano
- Ceramics workshops along the Amalfi Coast
- A visit to Herculaneum
Rather than just sightseeing, the itinerary leans heavily into local traditions, food, and hands-on cultural experiences, which has become one of the strongest parts of Adventures by Disney overall.
Why Adventures by Disney Continues to Stand Out
What makes these trips different from standard guided tours is the combination of Disney-level logistics and storytelling with local experiences.
The trips include dedicated Adventure Guides, curated activities for kids and families, and a lot of behind-the-scenes planning that removes much of the stress that usually comes with international travel.
And honestly, these newer itineraries feel increasingly geared toward travelers who want meaningful cultural experiences while still having the comfort and structure Disney is known for.
Travel Trends Continue Shifting Toward Experiences
The 2027 lineup also reflects a bigger travel trend happening right now.
More travelers are prioritizing immersive experiences over traditional sightseeing alone. Cooking classes, artisan workshops, conservation-focused visits, and small-group cultural interactions are becoming a much bigger draw than simply checking landmarks off a list.
And Disney seems very aware of that shift with these new itineraries.
