Last year, Adventures by Disney announced an incredible once-in-a-lifetime trip called Disney Parks Around the World – A Private Jet Adventure. The 24 day adventure would include six countries, all 12 Disney theme parks plus other landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal – all while traveling on a private, VIP-configured Boeing 757 with prices starting at $109,995.
The journey kicked off today, Sunday, July 9th and two Laughing Place staff members are among those lucky enough to be going. That means we’re going to be taking you with us here on LaughingPlace.com and via all of our social media platforms. We’ll be Tweeting, Threading, Instagramming, Facebooking and YouTubing the entire adventure, so if you’re interested in following along in the ultimate adventure, take a moment to follow and subscribe on the following platforms:
A couple of weeks ago Adventures by Disney sent all participants a large box containing luggage, an iPad and more to get them ready for the trip. You can see a full unboxing of that package below (and take an even closer look at the contents in Alex’s article).
