Travel Adventures with Jaime – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, my 14 year old daughter and I spent the day at SeaWorld in San Diego. Although there are lots of animals to see, she was interested in riding the roller coasters. We picked a weekday in mid-August and the crowds were minimal. We were able to do so much in just a short amount of time. Listen to hear all about this fun, quick trip.

A huge thank you to all of my listeners! August 15 marked the first anniversary of Travel Adventures with Jaime. It has been such a fun journey this last year and I want to thank all of my guests who have volunteered to share their vacations with us. This year has been amazing and I am excited for what next year has in store.

I also discuss my recent tour at Disneyland, Cultivating the Magic. As the only person who booked the tour this morning, I was given a wonderful two-hour tour learning about the plants and trees that make Disneyland Park so special. This tour was great and I highly recommend anyone interested in learning a bit of the history behind the architecture of Disney landscaping to take this tour. If you don't think you are a fan of plants, you will be by the end of this tour!

On this episode, my guest Nicole talks about her recent trip to Disneyland in March of 2024. She was there on a solo trip celebrating her birthday. She has some great tips about using Genie+, gathering character signatures for her birthday, and how she spent her time at Disney Channel Nite. If you are considering an After Dark Event at Disneyland, you will want to listen to her experience. She also has some great stats at the end of the episode about how much she was able to accomplish in her three park days.
She stayed at the Candlewood Suites Anaheim which is a Good Neighbor Hotel and can be booked as part of at Disney package. There is an ART bus station directly outside the hotel and you can purchase passes to ride the bus to and from the park.

For more information on ART or EVE, see their website here.

In this episode, I discuss my recent spring trip to Walt Disney World. I traveled a few days before Easter and the parks were definitely busy but with some planning, you can still have a magical vacation.
I stayed at three resorts during my trip. My first night was at Port Orleans French Quarter, then I spent two nights at the Grand Floridian, and my final night was at All Star Music. 

This was my first solo trip and I have to admit, traveling solo has its advantages!

*I mentioned in this episode that the pool at Port Orleans French Quarter was closed and since the episode has been released, the pool renovation has been completed and is now reopened. However, they are still working on the splash pad and pool bar.

In this episode, I discuss my upcoming trip to Walt Disney World. I will be staying in three different resorts, and I have three days to spend in the parks. I will be visiting each of the four parks and experiencing things that I have yet to experience. I will be heading to EPCOT for the Flower and Garden Festival and of course riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I will be watching Happily Ever After at the Magic Kingdom and riding Tron for the first time. It will be a quick trip filled with lots of new and exciting things.

In this episode, I talk about sailing on the Carnival Radiance out of Long Beach. My three teenagers joined me on this three day cruise. I have a lot of thoughts about the teen club and some high and lows of our sailing on this "Fun Ship!"

Are you interested in staying at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa? This episode has my thoughts about this hotel as well as how to get the most out of early entry. This is a perk that is given to guests staying at one of the Disneyland Resorts. I also discuss Lunar New Year Festival and the new lanyards that they are using this year.

In this episode, I interview Terra and Darren about their Very Merrytime cruise on the Disney Magic with their family of six. They talk about how to communicate with their kids during the cruise, dining at Palo for brunch and dinner, and some comparisons between the Disney Magic and the Disney Fantasy. They also did a fantastic excursion in Cabo San Lucas. Hopefully, this will help those of you thinking about taking a Disney Cruise in the future.
