BEHIND THE SCENES ON BROADWAY  Beginning Saturday, July 18, Walks of New York will introduce a walking tour itinerary that takes in Broadway both before and behind the curtains.  The two-and-a-half-hour tour, called “Disney on Broadway: Behind the Magic,” culminates in a visit to the New Amsterdam Theater, home to “Aladdin.” A behind-the-scenes look at its prop and costume studio, which houses items from a variety of Disney shows, offers tourgoers the chance to don head pieces from “The Lion King” and handle Mary Poppins’s umbrella.  Guided by former Broadway professionals, travelers will also explore the history of theater in New York, walk the Shubert Alley and peek into the Broadway hot spot Sardi’s.  Once they start, tours will take place daily Friday through Sunday and cost $72 for adults, $65 for children ages 3 to 14.  A SALE ON CARIBBEAN HOTEL ROOMS  The slow season in the Caribbean annually means deals across the sea, including Hilton’s Caribbean summer sale.  On through Aug. 31, the offer covers 18 properties from Puerto Rico to Barbados, the Dominican Republic and Cartagena, Colombia. Rooms start at $96 a night with the fourth night free and a $100 resort credit per room.  NEW GUIDE FOR ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL  Responsible Travel, an online agency that specializes in environmental and socially sustainable trips, has a new guide for accessible tourism for travelers using wheelchairs, the visually impaired and those with other special needs.  The guide lists trips like sailing holidays on the Costa Brava in Spain with boats operable by those with limited mobility, a wheelchair-accessible safari in Tanzania, Nile cruises in Egypt and Red Sea scuba-diving itineraries.  Held once every five years, Jaialdi, a celebration of Basque culture, will feature traditional weight-lifting competitions, dance performances and sheep wagon displays in Boise, Idaho, July 28 to Aug. 2.  Idaho is home to one of the largest populations of Basque descendants outside of Europe, many of whose ancestors were drawn to the state’s sheep ranches.  Basque musicians scheduled to perform range from traditional singers to modern rockers. Some of the quirkier exhibitions at the quinquennial fest involve farm-skills-based contests featuring stone lifters, wood choppers and ox cart carriers, which will showcase top athletes from the Basque region of Spain.
