In this deeply inspiring episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, Ros welcomes Peter Baines OAM, a remarkable leader whose journey from crisis zones to creating a life-changing legacy will leave you feeling motivated and hopeful. Peter shares his incredible story, starting as a forensic investigator responding to some of the world's most devastating disasters, including the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand. It was in the aftermath of this tragedy that Peter's life took a transformative turn. Witnessing the unimaginable loss and heartbreak, he felt a calling to do more, leading him to create Hands Across the Water, a charity that has since raised over $40 million to support vulnerable children and provide them with education, opportunities, and hope for the future. Throughout their conversation, Peter and Roslyn explore the power of resilience, the importance of leading with purpose, and how small, meaningful actions can create a ripple effect of change. Peter's insights into leadership during times of crisis and his unwavering commitment to sustainability and long-term impact will resonate with anyone striving to make a difference in their work or life. This episode is more than a story, it's a reminder of the incredible things we can achieve when we align our actions with our values. Whether you're a travel professional, a business leader, or someone looking for inspiration, Peter's journey will encourage you to think bigger, act with intention, and create your own lasting legacy.

In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome Claire Baines, CEO of Hands Across the Water and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to creating experiences that truly matter. Claire isn't your typical travel professional, but her journey from the world of corporate events to leading one of the most impactful experience-based charities is nothing short of inspiring. We dive into her story on how a passion for events and a single moment of saying “yes” to a charity bike ride led her to a life and career filled with purpose, connection, and heart. Claire opens up about the challenges and joys of running a purpose-driven organisation, sharing how she balances strategy and heart as she leads a team across multiple countries. She talks candidly about the pressure of sustaining a charity through global upheaval, and how resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of community helped Hands Across the Water not just survive, but thrive during the toughest times. We explore the magic that keeps people coming back year after year for their immersive experiences in Thailand, and how the human connections formed on these journeys create memories and impact that last a lifetime. If you've ever wondered how to infuse more meaning into your travel business, or how you can make a genuine difference while still running a successful operation, Claire's insights will leave you feeling motivated and full of ideas. We also chat about systems, scaling, and the importance of never losing sight of the personal touch, even as you grow.

We take you behind the scenes of one of the most unique — and heartwarming — challenges we've ever taken on: riding “it's a small world” at Magic Kingdom for 10 straight hours to raise money for the Dream Team Project, which supports Make-A-Wish. That's right — boat after boat, loop after loop, song after song — all for a cause that's close to our hearts.We share what inspired us to take on this seemingly never-ending voyage, how the idea came to life, and why giving back through the Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend has become such an important part of what we do. You'll hear the highs, the unexpected moments of hilarity, the not-so-magical parts, and the emotional impact of seeing our community come together to support something bigger than all of us.Throughout the day, we were joined by incredible friends, fellow Disney fans, and Main Street Magic listeners who hopped into boats with us — whether for one loop or several — and helped turn this challenge into a celebration of connection, kindness, and of course… a little bit of madness. We also cover how this event ties into the larger Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend, including race day fun, the scavenger hunt through Disney Springs, and our continued mission to support the Dream Team Project.Whether you love the ride or dread the tune, this episode is packed with magic, meaning, and memories. Tune in for the full recap and find out just how many loops we survived (spoiler: a lot).Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend is coming! May 15th – May 18th, 2025 in Walt Disney WorldThis event is a way to bring our community together and rally to raise money for a great cause. Part social gathering, part scavenger hunt, part ride challenge, Main Street 16 is a combination of all the things we love about the Disney Parks—The rides, the details, and most importantly, the people. And this event is about giving back to extraordinary people.BENEFITING THE DREAM TEAM PROJECTThe funds raised during the Main Street 16 Challenge Weekend benefit the Dream Team Project, an initiative founded by Lou Mongello of WDW Radio. This project collaborates with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant Disney-related wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions, providing them and their families with memorable experiences at Walt Disney World.   Learn more and donate at MainStreet16.comMEI-Travel – Expertise.

We're trading coasts and heading west for our very first trip to Disneyland! That's right—after years of covering Walt Disney World, we're finally getting the chance to experience the park that started it all. So today, we're counting down the eight things we're most excited to see, do, eat, and feel when we set foot in the Happiest Place on Earth.We kick things off with what might be one of the biggest draws for Walt Disney World veterans—simpler planning. From more day-of dining options to Lightning Lane flexibility and shorter trips that still feel full of magic, Disneyland encourages a spontaneous, go-with-the-flow style that takes the stress out of scheduling. That leads us into the vibe of the parks themselves—Disney California Adventure's uniquely themed lands, like Radiator Springs and Avengers Campus, offer a laid-back SoCal energy that's perfect for park hopping in under a minute.We'll also chat about seasonal events and entertainment we're catching during our trip, like DCA's Food & Wine Festival and Season of the Force. Add in Fantasmic! and fireworks over Sleeping Beauty Castle, and we've got a lot of nighttime magic to look forward to.Of course, Disneyland's culture and character interactions are a big part of the appeal. The more relaxed pace, roaming characters, and local passholder vibe all offer a very different feel from the Florida parks. And when it comes to food, we're more than ready to dig into some legendary Disneyland snacks—from corn dogs and churros to beignets and high-quality quick service.We'll wrap things up with a look at classic and unique attractions, the charming scale and layout, and finally, the emotional pull of walking in Walt's footsteps at his original park.Join us as we count down the top reasons we're absolutely thrilled to head to Disneyland for the very first time!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

We dive into Disney's Memory Maker, the ultimate way to capture and relive every magical moment of your Walt Disney World vacation. We'll break down what Memory Maker is, how much it costs, and what's included—from attraction photos and Magic Shots to character meet-and-greets and dining experiences. Whether you're striking a pose, caught in a scream, or making a silly face with your travel crew, ride photos are a snapshot in time that bring the magic home with you. But not all ride photos are created equal so we're talking about them all.We'll explore what makes a great PhotoPass experience, from the timing and placement of the camera to the quality of the image and how well it captures the spirit of the attraction. Some offer the perfect moment to show off your themed shirts or matching ears, while others might catch you totally off guard. A few might leave you wondering where the camera even was, while others deliver the kind of image you'll want to frame the moment you get home.As Walt Disney World regulars, we've had our fair share of ride photos—some amazing, some hilarious, and a few we'd rather forget. In this episode, we'll reflect on the overall experience of these in-ride captures, how they add to the magic, and which ones really stand out. These images are part of the joy and surprise that comes with every Disney visit.It's time to say “cheese,” hold on tight, and find out which Walt Disney World attraction PhotoPass comes out on top!MEI-Travel – Expertise.
