Dreaming of a Disney cruise, Universal VIP day or that perfect Magic Kingdom itinerary—but dreading the 6 a.m. dining windows and Genie+ juggling? Meet Henry ‘Hank’ Rodríguez, founder of Outer Rim Travels and the OCD-level trip planner behind more than 1,000 Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, Disney Cruise Line, and Universal Orlando vacations. In this episode, Hank reveals the systems, hacks and insider intel that turn “vacation stress” into “vacation swagger.” Brandon & Henry

Listen (or watch) and discover:

• Why Disney already bakes travel-agent commissions into every package—and how letting Hank book actually lowers your price while freeing you from 6 a.m. wake-ups.
• Genie+ 120-minute rule, Animal Kingdom Rainforest Café entrance, Brightline train tip—three planning moves most tourists miss.
• The real cost comparison: 4-night Disney Cruise vs. 5-day Deluxe-Resort stay (spoiler: prices are converging fast).
• What makes the Disney Magic Hank’s favorite ship and why the new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point island is a game-changer.
• How Disney may resurrect the Galactic Starcruiser as à la carte “bridge training + dinner” experiences—and what to expect at D23.
• Universal Orlando in 2025: VIP group tours, Unlimited Express hacks and what we (don’t) know about Epic Universe ticketing.
• Hank’s journey from cruise-line port specialist to record-label owner to award-winning travel advisor—and why he now vlogs every trip for legacy, not likes.

Whether you’re a first-time park visitor, a cruise veteran, or a CEO needing a hassle-free family getaway, Hank’s no-BS approach will save you hours of research and unlock the magic you’re actually paying for.
