Whether your dream vacation includes a visit to a theme park, sinking your toes into the warm Hawaiian sand or wandering through a lively, culture-rich cityscape, there’s something special about dreaming up your next getaway. In this episode of Mountain America Credit Union’s Guiding You Forward podcast, we’re sitting down with travel expert Jen Dunyon from Get Away Today® as she shares insider tips on planning for unforgettable destinations.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Hidden deals at overlooked vacation destinations.

If you’re planning a trip to a Disney park, the food alone is worth the price of admission. For a lot of travelers, it’s an even bigger draw than the rides. From specialty churros to Dole Whip to street corn—the options are bountiful. But the key is mobile food ordering through the app, which can save you hours of waiting in line if you know how to time it right. Jen breaks down her strategy, sharing how to hit all your favorites without breaking the bank or wasting precious park time.

While Disney is Get Away Today’s specialty, Jen and her team can design the perfect trip anywhere—from Hawaii to Mexico to sunny San Diego. Plus, here’s a tip most families miss: in October, most San Diego theme parks offer kids free admission. Combine that with amazing beaches, perfect weather and family-friendly attractions and, as Jen puts it, “It’s like Hawaii on the mainland. There’s just so many fun things to do.”
