ABOUT VACATIONEERS
Theme parks, podcasts, videos and the story behind Vacationeers Theme Parks & More.
MEET TOM
Hi, I’m Tom Zonts — theme park enthusiast, podcast host, vlogger and the creator behind Vacationeers Theme Parks & More.
Vacationeers started as a way to share my love of theme parks, roller coasters and travel, and over the years it has grown into podcasts, YouTube videos, livestreams, blogs, seasonal coverage and more.
Today, much of that coverage comes from Central Florida, with regular visits to Disney, Universal, SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, along with trips to parks and destinations beyond Orlando.
HOW VACATIONEERS BEGAN
Vacationeers began in 2017 as something I could do with my son while sharing our love of theme parks and roller coasters. What started as a fun way to talk about our park adventures gradually grew into something much bigger.
Over time, friends, family and guests joined the conversation, and Vacationeers expanded beyond the podcast into YouTube videos, livestreams, blogs and more. The format has changed and the coverage has grown, but the idea behind it has stayed pretty simple: share the experiences, opinions and moments that make visiting the parks so much fun.

BUILT FROM THE PARKS: THRILLLEDGER
Vacationeers eventually grew beyond podcasts, videos and blogs. ThrillLedger was created as a way for theme park fans to keep track of their own park experiences.
From logging rides and wait times to keeping a history of park visits and memories, ThrillLedger brings another part of the Vacationeers experience directly into the parks.
BEYOND THE PARKS
Vacationeers has also grown beyond theme park coverage. Vacationeers Property Services provides local vacation-home care and support for owners in the Central Florida area.
It’s a separate service from the Vacationeers content you see here, but it grew from the same focus on dependable service, communication and helping people enjoy their time in Central Florida.
