Upon arrival in Vienna, you'll pick up your luggage and pass through customs. An Adventures by Disney representative will meet you in the customs/exit area and then direct you to your transportation to the Vienna Marriott Hotel. Your Adventure Guide will check you in and then you can enjoy the rest of the day until your welcome reception and dinner where you'll meet your fellow adventurers.

On your second day, you'll visit Schonbrunn Palace, built by the legendary Hapsburg dynasty, while your Junior Adventurers are treated to an immersive glimpse of life in the 18th century. Afterwards, the whole family can enjoy a private strudel demonstration in the imperial bakery. Then you'll enjoy a private puppet show and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how a marionette show works. After that, you'll take a miniature train to a historic farmhouse to experience traditional Austrian farm and lunch with the family. Then you'll enjoy an exclusive after-hours tour of the Vienna Zoo and dinner at a stately pavilion inside the zoo.

On day three you'll take a walking tour of Vienna with a local expert, visit the country home of the Hapsburg Dynasty for lunch and then your kids will enjoy pottery classes while the adults taste fine Austrian schnapps. Dinner and the evening are yours to explore in Vienna.

On the fourth day you'll journey to Durnstein and take a Danube River lunch cruise before checking in to the Sheraton Salzburg Hotel and touring the Mirabell Gardens, the shooting location of "The Sound of Music." Later, adults will enjoy dinner and a violin performance at the historic St. Peter's Restaurant while their kids will kick back in their own private party hosted by the Adventure Guides.

On day five you'll take a guided tour of Salzburg and visit Hellbrunn Castle where you'll also have lunch. The afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy Salzburg.

On day six you'll enter the Czech Republic and visit the World Heritage Site, Ceský Krumlov. You'll be able to explore this medieval city at your own pace and take lunch on your own. Dinner will be a buffet at the Prague Marriott Hotel and be followed by a screening of one of Disney's classic films.

On the seventh day you'll enjoy a privately-guided tour of Prague by motorcoach, followed by a walking tour of the Czech Republic's cultural treasures like the gothic masterpiece of Saint Vitus Cathedral, Golden Lane cottages, Wallenstein Garden, Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock. The afternoon is yours to explore Prague at your own pace. Your farewell dinner will be a private medieval feast where you'll be entertained by knights and their feats of chivalry.

On your final day, you'll have breakfast at your hotel and be able to bid goodbye to your fellow adventurers before being transported to the airport.
