500 - After 500 consecutive Mondays (yes, we've never missed one — not even during a hurricane), Rob & Kerri Stuart are pulling back the curtain on how Disney Travel Secrets actually started — and how it turned into Creating Magic Vacations, the travel agency they run today. Let us help you plan your Disney Vacation - START HERE If you're here for Disney vacation planning tips, you'll get plenty — how their "top 3 rides" strategy beats stressful rope-drop plans, why flexibility (not a rigid schedule) makes for a better Walt Disney World trip, and how going live at Disney Parks years ago shaped everything they teach today about Disney World vacations and Disney travel planning. But this episode is also for anyone wondering how to start a podcast — because Rob & Kerri didn't start with a plan. No studio, no equipment budget, no business strategy. Just a microphone, a dining room table in St. Petersburg, Florida, and a meeting with podcasting mentor Pat Flynn that changed the direction of their entire career. In this episode you'll hear: The three moments (2012–2016) that led to starting a Disney podcast in the first place Why going from TV hosts to podcasters felt like a "downgrade" — until it wasn't The Pat Flynn conversation that convinced them to buy a podcasting course on the spot How going live at Disney Parks on Periscope proved there was an audience hungry for Disney content Why 500 episodes later, they still believe "the show had a plan for us," not the other way around The real answer to: does a podcast actually help you start a business? (Spoiler: Creating Magic Vacations wouldn't exist without it.) Whether you're planning your next Disney World or Disneyland vacation, thinking about becoming a travel agent, or you've ever thought about starting your own podcast, this milestone episode has something for you. 🎧 3,200,000+ downloads. 675 episodes across two shows.

499 - There's a suite tucked into the turret corner of Yacht Club that most Disney veterans don't even know exists, and a three-bedroom Grand Villa at Grand Floridian big enough to sleep a small army. This week, Rob and Kerri pull back the curtain on the secret suites of Walt Disney World — the ones that never show up in a normal room search, from the Yosemite Suite at Wilderness Lodge to the two-story Royal Asante Suite at Animal Kingdom Lodge to the overwater Bora Bora Bungalows at Polynesian. CLICK HERE TO START PLANNING YOUR NEXT DISNEY ADVENTURE Plus: Disney Cruise Line opens 2027/2028 bookings to everyone starting September 8th (and why the Wish's transatlantic barely made it to Platinum), why Rob and Kerri are finally heading back to the Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic after a few years away, and what it really takes to 5X your travel agency with Creating Magic Vacations.

497 - D23 Expo just wrapped, and while Disney fans got plenty of updates, Rob & Kerri break down why most of it was old news dressed up as "new" — from Villains Land's Maleficent coaster to Avengers Campus expansions to the new Disney Cruise Line ship. They cover what's actually changing at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Disneyland, and beyond, plus a first look at upcoming movies like Frozen 3, Zootopia 3, and Lilo & Stitch 2.
