Episode 127: Beating the Post-Vacation Blues with Dr. Emily King

Tips to help your child transition back from vacation without the meltdowns

Hosts: Rob and Danny

Guest: Dr. Emily King, child psychologist and parenting expert

Ever feel that emotional crash after an amazing vacation? You’re not alone—and your kids might feel it even more intensely. In this episode of The Family Vacationer, we’re joined for the third time by child psychologist Dr. Emily King, who breaks down the emotional rollercoaster that can follow a family trip, especially for neurodivergent children.

Dr. Emily shares how to recognize signs of post-vacation dysregulation, why coming back from places like Disney can be especially tough, and what you can do as a parent to help your kids (and yourself) ease back into everyday life. From making memory books to allowing enough transition time, she offers practical, compassionate advice grounded in real-life parenting.

In this episode, we cover:

• What post-vacation letdown looks like in neurodivergent vs. neurotypical kids
• Why emotional rest is just as important as physical rest after travel
• Tools and routines to help ease kids back into daily life
• The power of visual memory aids like scrapbooks and photo books
• How to respond calmly to emotional dysregulation—even when you’re tired too
• Why delaying discipline can be more effective than reacting in the moment

Whether you’re road-tripping home or just trying to unpack without a meltdown, this episode is packed with strategies that will help you keep the vacation glow alive a little longer.

The Family Vacationer podcast episode 121 is all about the Swan and Dolphin resorts located in Orlando, Florida. The hosts, Rob and Danny, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of staying on and off property at Disney World. They suggest that the Swan and Dolphin Hotels may be the perfect solution for those who want the best of both worlds.

These hotels are located on Disney property but are not owned by Disney, so they offer some of the benefits of staying on property while also providing more flexibility to explore other areas of Orlando and eat at non-Disney restaurants. The hosts also mention that the Swan and Dolphin hotels are part of the Marriott chain, making them a great option for those who collect and use hotel points frequently. The episode's guest, Chris Kane, a senior sales executive for Leisure for Walt Disney World, Swan and Dolphin and the Swan Reserve, talks about the history of the Swan and Dolphin hotels and how they came to be located at Walt Disney World. He also shares his personal opinion about what makes the Swan and Dolphin hotels unique compared to other hotels at Disney World. The hosts and the guest discuss the newest hotel in the Swan and Dolphin family, the Swan Reserve, and its amenities, including multiple pools, a private beach, and a variety of restaurants and bars.
