Pasta, Peaks & Pure Magic: Adventures by Disney Journey Through Northern Italy & Switzerland

By Vicki Hoskisona Marvelous Mouse Travels agent

As a Marvelous Mouse Travels agent, I get to help families and couples discover some of the most unforgettable vacations around the world—but every so often, I get to be the one soaking up the magic. And my Adventures by Disney trip through Northern Italy & Switzerland was truly something special.

Interlaken, Switzerland

This itinerary had everything I love about travel: breathtaking scenery, incredible food, cultural immersion, and the complete peace of mind that comes from knowing every detail is taken care of. Disney-style service paired with European charm? Yes, please!

Why Adventures by Disney Was Perfect for This Trip

I’ve always known Adventures by Disney was something extraordinary, but experiencing it firsthand took that appreciation to a whole new level. Our Adventure Guides made the entire journey seamless—they shared stories, handled logistics, and somehow always knew exactly what we needed before we did.

Every day offered the perfect balance of guided exploration, hidden gems, and downtime to simply enjoy the moment. And the thoughtful touches? They blew me away—from our luggage magically appearing at each destination, to surprise experiences that made us feel like true insiders.

Pasta Making in Private Villa at Lake Como, Italy

One of my favorite memories was during our pasta-making class in Italy. I’ll be honest—my noodles were a little crooked! But laughing with our group, sipping wine, and tasting our creations made it one of the most joyful, authentic experiences of the trip. It was the kind of moment that stays with you long after the vacation ends.

My Favorite Highlights from Italy & Switzerland

The Matterhorn, Zermatt Switzerland

Swiss Alps Magic

Riding a gondola into the Alps and stepping out into those jaw-dropping views was something I’ll never forget. The fresh mountain air, the cowbells in the distance… it was absolute perfection.

Cruising Lake Como

There’s nothing like gliding across those sparkling waters, surrounded by dramatic mountains and elegant villas. It looks like a movie—and it feels even better in person.

Food, Glorious Food

Between pasta-making, regional wines, local markets, and Swiss chocolate tastings, this itinerary is a dream for anyone who loves food and culture. (And yes—gelato happened. More than once.)

Immersive Cultural Moments

Wandering cobblestone streets, exploring medieval towns, and experiencing exclusive behind-the-scenes access made me feel connected to each destination—not just like a visitor passing through.

Why I’d Recommend This Trip Again and Again

Chapel Bridge, Lucerne Switzerland

Adventures by Disney takes all the stress out of planning and elevates travel in the best possible way. You get access to experiences you couldn’t arrange on your own, the comfort of knowing everything is handled, and the freedom to truly enjoy your vacation.

Whether you're a couple, a family, or a group of friends, this trip delivers unforgettable memories in some of the most beautiful places in the world. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

What’s Included with Adventures by Disney?

One of the things I loved most is how much is included. Here’s what you can expect on this itinerary:

  • Two Adventure Guides providing expert storytelling, support, and care
  • Hand-selected luxury hotels in prime locations
  • Most meals, including local specialties and regional favorites
  • Private tours & exclusive access you won’t find anywhere else
  • All transportation during the trip, including trains, coaches & transfers
  • Luggage handling & tips taken care of for you
  • Junior Adventurer activities designed especially for younger travelers

It truly is a stress-free, magical way to explore the world.

If Northern Italy & Switzerland are calling your name,  Vicki or another Marvelous Mouse Travels agent would love to help you plan your own Adventures by Disney experience.
