The Disney Dream Trip You Didn't Know You Could Book
503 - What kind of vacation would you take if money were truly no object? We're not talking about a Disney World suite, Adventures by Disney, or even a two-story Disney Cruise Line suite. In episode #503 of Disney Travel Secrets, Rob and Kerri Stuart celebrate their 17th wedding anniversary by dreaming big and breaking down four over-the-top National Geographic Expeditions trips that circle the globe by private jet.

Each of these luxury trips flies on a VIP-configured Boeing 757 and includes accommodations, meals, drinks, gratuities, laundry, and excursions led by National Geographic experts such as photographers, videographers, and anthropologists, with presentations even happening in the air between stops. Rob and Kerri cover the route, the best fit traveler, standout experiences, and pricing for each:
✈️ Around the World by Private Jet: 26 days from Washington, D.C. to Machu Picchu, Easter Island, Samoa, the Great Barrier Reef, Angkor Wat, Kathmandu, the Taj Mahal, the Serengeti, Petra, and Marrakech. The ultimate bucket-list trip.
🏝️ Oceans and Islands of the World: 24 days from Oahu to Malta with stops in Palau's Jellyfish Lake, Komodo National Park, Australia, New Zealand, the Seychelles, and Muscat. Perfect for snorkelers and island hoppers.
🦍 Wildlife of the World: 23 days from Singapore to Rome with Borneo, India's Ranthambore, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Madagascar, a South African safari, and mountain gorillas in Rwanda. A dream for Animal Kingdom lovers and wildlife photographers.
🕌 The Silk Road by Private Jet: 20 days along ancient trade routes through Istanbul, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and more. The "entry-level" private jet trip for history buffs and seasoned travelers.
Plus, Rob and Kerri share a fall weather tip for Walt Disney World, an update on their full-ship Danube river cruise in July 2027, and announce a December 2027 Galápagos Islands group trip with National Geographic-Lindblad. The ship holds fewer than 30 guests, so join the interest list for early booking incentives!
