Alaska Cruise Review: Whales, Glaciers & Ovation of the Seas
Is an Alaska cruise worth the hype? Dayna returns from a family sailing aboard Royal Caribbean’s newly amplified Ovation of the Seas and shares everything you need to know before planning your own Alaska adventure. We cover the stunning train ride from Anchorage to Seward, sailing past Hubbard Glacier, whale watching in Juneau, meeting sled dogs and puppies in Skagway, searching for bears in Icy Strait Point and exploring Alaska’s small port towns. Dayna also shares her honest thoughts on Ovation of the Seas, the best activities for families, whether you really need a balcony cabin, which excursions she would book next time and why you should prepare to spend more than expected on excursions, souvenirs and king crab. Whether you are considering a one-way Alaska cruise, comparing Royal Caribbean with Disney Cruise Line or wondering whether Alaska is a good destination for kids, this episode is packed with firsthand advice, practical planning tips and plenty of travel inspiration.

The Trips That Made Us Fall in Love With Travel
What was the trip that made you fall in love with travel? This week, John, Dayna, and Jess look back at the journeys that shaped them as travelers. They share their favorite family vacations, the couples’ trips that helped them reconnect, and the destinations that surprised them most. From a groundbreaking first cruise aboard Voyager of the Seas and a European family adventure on Symphony of the Seas to a Greek anniversary cruise, a Hawaiian honeymoon, a sunrise proposal at Machu Picchu, and an unexpectedly unforgettable family trip to London, these are the experiences that became core memories. Along the way, they discuss why traveling together matters, how one trip can influence a lifetime of vacations, and why the journeys we never expect to love sometimes stay with us the longest.

The Best Disney World Moderate Resort: Coronado, Caribbean Beach or Port Orleans?
This week, we’re crowning the best moderate resort at Walt Disney World. Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans Riverside/French Quarter, and Coronado Springs/Gran Destino Tower go head-to-head across the categories that matter most: transportation, theming, rooms, dining, pools, amenities, value, and a few highly subjective bonus points. Is the Skyliner enough to push Caribbean Beach to the top? Does Port Orleans win on charm, peaceful vibes, and beignets? Or does Coronado Springs, with Gran Destino Tower, standout lounges, and that “moderate-plus” feel, take the crown? From fifth sleeper rooms to bus loops, resort size, food options, and overall value, we break down which Disney moderate resort gives families the best stay.

Summer Travel Trends: Cruises, Europe & Multi-Gen Trips
Summer travel is in full swing, and this week we’re breaking down the biggest trends we’re seeing in 2026: cruises, Europe, and multi-generational family trips. John, Dayna, and Jess talk through their own summer travel plans, from Alaska cruises and Hotel Xcaret to Universal Orlando, Epic Universe, Disney weekends, river cruising, and sports travel. But the bigger story is what clients are booking right now — and this summer, cruising is everywhere. Families are sailing to Alaska, Greece, Japan, the Caribbean, and beyond, with European cruises and bucket-list itineraries becoming major standouts. We also dig into the rise of multi-gen travel, as more families are choosing to bring grandparents, siblings, cousins, and extended family together for big memory-making vacations instead of traditional reunions at home. From Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean to Celebrity, river cruises, Adventures by Disney, Beaches Turks & Caicos, national parks, Universal, and Europe, this episode is packed with summer travel inspiration and the trends shaping family vacations right now.

Walt Disney World Pet Peeves: Entitlement, Line Cutters & Main Street Mayhem
This week on Where We Roam, we are getting a few things off our chest with a full episode dedicated to our biggest Walt Disney World pet peeves. John, Dayna, and Jess talk through the guest behaviors that can turn a magical park day into a test of patience, from people standing way too close in line, to massive groups cutting the queue, to guests stopping dead in the middle of Main Street USA like no one else exists. We also get into Disney adults wearing cringe-worthy complaint shirts, guests who think spending money entitles them to special treatment, people asking to be “pixie dusted,” bad information from old TikToks, MagicMobile chaos at the front gate, public family meltdowns, and why Disney guest etiquette still matters. It is a little ranty, a lot relatable, and hopefully just self-aware enough to make all of us better Disney Parks guests. Whether you are planning your first Walt Disney World vacation or you visit the parks all the time, this episode is a funny reminder that the magic works best when everyone remembers they are not the only family in the park.

Dayna is back from Walt Disney World with firsthand updates from some of the newest experiences in the parks! In this episode of Where We Roam, John, Dayna, and Jess dive into Dayna’s recent visit for passholder previews, including the new Muppets-themed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the limited-time Soarin’ Across America overlay at EPCOT, and the newly refreshed Animation Courtyard. Dayna shares what changed, what stayed the same, and whether the Muppets overlay works on one of Hollywood Studios’ most iconic thrill rides. Jess also gives her very honest thoughts on the Muppets, Aerosmith, and why this retheme may not be winning her over just yet. Plus, the crew talks EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, nostalgic Disney smells, new park green spaces, snacky snacks, and another round of John’s 15-word Disney attraction guessing game. Whether you’re planning a Walt Disney World trip, curious about the latest Disney Parks updates, or just want honest reactions from travel advisors who love the parks, this episode has you covered.

Location, Location, Location: Disney Resort Showdown + Disney Parks Update
This week on Where We Roam, we’re talking location, location, location with a Disney Resort Showdown featuring three of our favorite Walt Disney World resorts close to the parks: Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. But first, Dayna joins us live from Disney’s Hollywood Studios with a Disney Parks update, including her experience riding Soarin’ Across America at EPCOT and the anticipation around Muppets Electric Mayhem taking over Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster. Then we go head-to-head-to-head with three very different Disney deluxe resorts. Animal Kingdom Lodge brings the savanna views, incredible theming, and some of the best resort dining at Disney World. The Polynesian delivers Monorail access, tropical vibes, Magic Kingdom convenience, and classic Disney nostalgia. Yacht Club brings the EPCOT resort area, walkability, Stormalong Bay, and easy access to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. We rank each resort across the categories that matter most: location and transportation, theme and atmosphere, room size and layout, food and beverage, pools and amenities, and overall value. Which Disney resort wins when location is the name of the game? Listen in as we debate three Walt Disney World favorites and crown our winner.

Would You Rather: The Ultimate Vacation Debate Episode
This week on Where We Roam, we’re playing Travel Would You Rather — the ultimate vacation debate episode. John, Dayna, Jess, and Shawn are choosing between some seriously tough travel scenarios: a full week at Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando, a suite on an older cruise ship or an inside cabin on the newest ship, flying economy with an ultra-luxury resort stay or flying business class with more moderate accommodations, and whether swim-out suites beat butler service. We also get into Disney fireworks vs. character meet-and-greets, iconic historic hotels vs. brand-new luxury resorts, traveling with extended family, peak season crowds, loud hotel neighbors, and plenty of vacation hot takes along the way. It’s a fun, chaotic, and surprisingly revealing conversation about how we each travel, what we prioritize on vacation, and which “would you rather” choices are harder than they sound. Perfect for fans of Disney vacations, Universal Orlando, cruises, luxury resorts, family travel, and travel planning debates.
