Travel Notes

Relationships and Recognition at BRT: Another Outstanding Year

For more than 45 years, our team at Bob Rogers Travel has built lasting relationships with our partners in the student travel industry. These relationships have been the foundation of hundreds of thousands of life-changing travel experiences, and we couldn’t be more grateful to set the stage for all the amazing memories, selfies, and friendships that are made on tour.

Every student travel tour requires a village of partnerships to bring it to life. We’re honored and thrilled to be recognized for our work with these partners, because we know that these awards represent: delighted directors, happy students, and memories that last a lifetime.

Here are the awards and recognition our team is celebrating over the past 12 months:

SBO+ Magazine

Best Travel Company, 2025 Teachers’ Choice Awards

The Teachers’ Choice Awards are based exclusively on votes by educators. And that’s what makes the “Best Travel Company” award such an honor, as it reflects the hard work our team does behind the scenes each and every day.

Walt Disney World® Resort

PremEar Travel Planner since 2013

No travel planner sends more student groups to perform at the Walt Disney World® Resort than BRT. The PremEar distinction recognizes the depth and knowledge of our relationship with Disney. For our clients, this means lower rates and preferred booking status. 

Top Producer for Disney Imagination Campus Performing Arts Programs since 2011

Education meets imagination in the programs available through Disney Imagination Campus, where students learn from master performers and musicians. From workshops to performances to festivals, we love bringing these Disney dreams to life. 

A Top Producer for Festival Disney since 2014

Festival Disney combines the magic of Disney with a professionally-adjudicated festival competition. BRT is proud to have sent more student groups to participate in Festival Disney programs than any other travel planner for the past four years.

Disney on Broadway

Preferred Travel Planner

Taking students to New York City and introducing them to the magic of Broadway never gets old. We’re proud to partner with Disney on Broadway to lift the curtain on these stunning stage performances. 

Universal Orlando Resort 

Universal Orlando Signature Partner Recognition

Every year, we take well over 100 student groups to Universal Orlando Resort, where high-octane attractions meet professional workshops and exciting performance opportunities. We’re honored to be Universal’s top youth travel partner, booking more STARS Performance Programs than any other travel planner for the last three years.

Universal Orlando Preferred Youth Travel Partner

Our designation as a Preferred Youth Travel Partner gives us access to the best pricing and availability – both of which are great for our clients! 

Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Top Ticket Producer since 2011

Introducing student performers to our hometown is a joy for our team and we’re fortunate to have the world-class Chicago Symphony Orchestra in our neighborhood.

Broadway.com

Top Producer since 2011

The bright lights of Broadway are on most students’ bucket lists, and we’re thrilled to bring those dreams to life, sharing classic and new productions with performers every year.

National Museum of African American Music

Top Producer since 2021

This Nashville gem has quickly become a student favorite, showcasing the power and influence that African American music has had on art and culture all over the world. 

We’re humbled that so many of you have put your trust in us when it comes to planning your student travel experiences. Our relationships with you mean the world to us, and these awards are proof of what we’ve built together. If we haven’t worked together, we’d love to serve you and your student performers. Thank you for celebrating with us!
