The Wander with Milford Podcast

This week on Wander With Milford, we break down the travel news that actually matters when planning your next vacation.

The biggest update comes from Disney Cruise Line, which has announced new fall 2027 and spring 2028 itineraries. Milford covers the Disney Wish’s return to New York City, new sailings from San Juan, long Panama Canal cruises, changes coming to Port Canaveral, Bermuda itineraries, West Coast departures, holiday cruises, and Disney’s expanding lineup from Florida, Texas, California, and Puerto Rico.

You’ll also hear why travelers should look beyond the headline when evaluating Virgin Voyages promotions, including how advertised discounts and complimentary balcony upgrades may actually be calculated.

At Walt Disney World, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is underway, with global marketplaces and Eat to the Beat concerts continuing through November 21.

Finally, Milford shares practical planning advice for Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights, including separate admission requirements, early park closures, Express Pass options, RIP Tours, and strategies for guests who are not attending the event.

Disney Cruise Line general booking opens September 8, 2026. Travelers interested in New York, Bermuda, San Juan, Panama Canal, Galveston, San Diego, or Florida departures should begin planning now.

After nearly four years away, Milford is back behind the microphone—and the journey is beginning again under a brand-new name.

In this special relaunch episode, Milford shares why the former D.I.S. Explorers podcast has officially become Wander With Milford, the audio companion to his full-service travel agency. He reflects on what has changed, what has stayed the same, and how the podcast will now combine expert travel planning with practical strategies you can use to create better, less stressful vacations.

You’ll hear what to expect from upcoming episodes, including Disney Parks and resorts, Disney Cruise Line, money-saving strategies, trip-planning tools, travel agency insights, ride reviews, destination deep dives, listener Q&As, and occasional adventures beyond Disney.

New episodes will be released every other Tuesday.

Whether you’ve been listening since the original D.I.S. Explorers days or you’re discovering the show for the first time, welcome to the next chapter.
