Today we are talking about everything that is going on for trends in travel this year.

Hello and welcome to Addict of the Mouse.

Today is Sunday, February 4th.

You're listening to episode number 560, and this is everything that is going to happen,

or maybe he has gone out of style in 2024.

Music Hey everybody, Daly and Leslie here. Thanks for joining us today. We are talking trends. I'm kind of excited about this. Yeah, I really like to, especially, so zoom out and look at the overall, like our travel agency, fantastical vacations.

In the industry, January is a really big month for booking travel for the rest of the year. It's

called wave season.

It originated apparently in the cruise industry,

but now it's kind of like an overall travel industry term that it signifies like

when everybody is done with the holidays and they're kind of ready to plan that next year's

getaway, and it all kind of starts and originates in January.

It kind of goes through March, but January is the busiest time.

And so we're going to talk about what the industry as a whole is saying is really popular this year.

What has gone out of style that was popular the last few years.

You know, we talked about revenge travel coming out of, out of COVID. And then we talked about,

you know, cruises being very, very popular last year especially. Side note those are continuing

into this year. And then we're going to talk about the cruising industry specifically, and then we're going

talk about what we've seen with respect to theme parks, Disney, Universal, and and the like.

Yeah, yeah. So we actually don't have any news really, except that Universal just launched,

launched, I don't know, Mardi Gras just started

over at Universal
