Long Week-Ends with Disney

May 29, 2014

Adventures by Disney is now offering a long-weekend getaway in San Francisco and New York for the 2015 season.  cablecarThe three-night, four-day Long Weekends are designed to give your family a nice overview of each city, linked to Adventures by Disney’s format of storytelling.  The San Francisco tour will be based out of the Fairmont Hotel and include a tour of LucasFilm, a Disney production partner, which is not typically open to the public; a day trip to Napa Valley and Silverado Winery, owned by members of the Disney family, where adult guests can blend their own private label wine (while their children infuse olive oil in another room); and a bicycle ride from the Embarcadero to the base of the Golden Gate.  A Long Weekend in Manhattan will include a visit to the “Good Morning America” studio during a broadcast (Disney owns the show’s parent company, ABC), dance lessons in a professional studio, a performance of “Aladdin” at Disney’s New Amsterdam Theater (including a hands-on backstage tour), an afterhours tour of the Tenement Museum that includes conversations with matriarchs from several immigrant families, as well as an immersive tour of Harlem which includes a meal of soul food at Amy Ruth’s.
