I agree with grumpy-1. I haven't taken the Backstage Magic tour, but I've taken Southwest Splendors, and it was totally, absolutely worth the cost. Yes, you could do it cheaper, but it would not be the quality, fun, relaxing, enjoyable, unique trip that ABD makes them. It was, without a doubt, one of the BEST vacations I have ever taken, and worth every penny in the lack of worry & stress involved. When I realized after 8 days that I hadn't thought about work ONCE since the first day of the trip, I KNEW it had been worth it!
I've signed up for another one for this September!
If you want, read my trip report (see signature!). If that, and the praise of everyone else here on this board, doesn't convince you, nothing will!
