We’re Jordan and Matt, travel agents who love theme parks, cruises, and being honest about what vacations are actually like. We plan trips for Universal (Florida & California), Disney World and Disneyland, and Disney and Virgin Voyages cruises — and we don’t pretend everything is magical all the time.
Jordan is the planner brain. She tracks park updates, refurbishments, discounts, special events, and all the fine print nobody wants to read. If there’s a spreadsheet, a checklist, or a “wait, why is this more expensive?” moment — that’s her.
Matt is the reality check. He’s thinking about crowds, pacing, costs, and how long before everyone’s hungry, overstimulated, or done for the day. Together, we’re very good at saying, “Yeah… that sounds fun on TikTok, but here’s the real version.”
On Epic Elsewhere you’ll find:
-Universal and Disney planning without the fluff
-Epic Universe talk (because wow, yeah)
-Cruise advice for people who want a vacation, not another project
-Seasonal events like Halloween Horror Nights and Grinchmas — what’s worth it and what isn’t
-Tips for families who don’t want to do everything
We’re not here to sell you the “perfect” trip. We’re here to help you plan the right one — for your budget, your energy level, and your sanity.
If you want someone to tell you the truth, help you book without extra cost, and make sure you don’t come home needing another vacation — you’re in the right place.
Let’s go elsewhere. Preferably somewhere fun.
