We love the Skyliner at Disney World. But those announcements can get a little bit annoying. So, we counted how many times we heard the word "Disney". I think Disney's favourite word is (of course), Disney.

This is the route from Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort to Disney's Hollywood Studios (which is pretty short)

First trip to New York and there's a list you'll want to work through - the skyline from the water, Central Park on a clear morning, a show, the view from up high at dusk.

Sensoji in Asakusa opens 24 hours a day. By 9am it's shoulder to shoulder. Arrive at 5am — the temple is lit, the shops are closed, and you'll be almost alone in Tokyo's most photographed spot.

Mention Cambodia and most people think of Angkor, and rightly so, but Phnom Penh is where you feel the country as it is today. A riverside capital full of energy, history and warmth, it's a brilliant place to begin. Cambodia has a way of staying with you long after you're home. Like the sound of it? Message me and I'll help you shape the whole journey.

Where can you scuba dive with sharks in a theme park? EPCOT. It's one of the biggest aquariums in America, and yes, they let you get in the water with them.

What appears in a Disney queue for just a few minutes, only once a year? A hidden Mickey. On Mickey's birthday, sunlight hits a rock wall in the Little Mermaid queue and his shape appears.

Once a year. Mickey's birthday. Sunlight through rock. ✨ Orlando Insider builds your trip around the moments other people miss → www.orlandoinsider.co.uk

The best way to see Venice is to put the map away. Every wrong turn lands you somewhere worth stopping - a bridge with no one on it, a courtyard, a bar serving cicchetti to people who've been coming for years. Let me sort the where-you-stay so the wandering is the easy part. Get your Venice quote here: https://holidayquote.co.uk/martin-ross/enquiry

The Monumental Zone with the dragon mosaic is ticketed. But the forest zone above it — with the panoramic views over the city and sea — is entirely open access. Enter from the Carmel Bunkers side. Sunset here is the shot people think was taken inside the paid area.

Singapore does evenings beautifully. The whole bay turns gold, the skyline lights up, and you find yourself just standing there taking it in. It's a city that feels years ahead of everywhere else, yet somehow easy to slow right down in. Fancy seeing it for yourself? Send me a message and we'll start mapping out your trip.
