Our final Florida sunrise came early. Suitcases were zipped, Mickey ears were packed, and our families gathered one last time at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn for a live broadcast with The Bert Show.

With a full day of adventure ahead, Bert’s Big Adventure kicked off a beautiful Saturday morning with breakfast at Docking Bay in front of the iconic Star Wars Millennium Falcon. We fueled up on french toast drizzled in maple syrup, fresh berries, flaky pastries, crispy bacon, chicken sausage, and so much more. Truly, every single meal on this five-day journey earned a five-star review!

The Bert’s Big Adventure crew woke up to a picture-perfect, sunshine-filled Florida morning, buzzing with excitement for our very first full day in the park! As we strolled down Main Street inside Magic Kingdom, the moment they had all been waiting for finally arrived… 12 wide-eyed kiddos caught their first glimpse of Cinderella Castle

The energy was electric as Bert and Kristin reunited on-air at Q99.7 Atlanta for the 2026 Bert’s Big Adventure Send-Off Party! Broadcasting live from the Hilton Atlanta Airport hotel, this beloved annual tradition was filled with laughter, happy tears, and BIG surprises for our families.

The day we’ve been counting down to all year is finally here! Our 2026 Bert’s Big Adventure families officially kicked off the 23rd annual journey to Walt Disney World with a grand arrival at the beautiful Hilton Atlanta Airport hotel, and yes, the red carpet was rolled out in style! The energy? Absolutely electric.

Get ready for some magic! Our 2026 Bert’s Big Adventure families gathered together for an amazing New Family Orientation, thanks to our generous friends at Gas South! We gathered at the Georgia Aquarium to officially welcome our 2026 families for a day designed to connect, prepare, and celebrate the journey ahead.
