Working from around the world on their televisions shows, No Reservations for Bourdain and Bizarre World, formerly also Bizarre Eats for Zimmern, these men are true power travelers. We asked them about their vacation habits, as in where do they travel when it's not about working or showcasing a destination on the Travel Channel?

Andrew Zimmern's choice vacation spot took us by surprise:

I'm a dad, so we do Disney World. We're complete Disney World geeks; we love going there. My son is almost five and he's had his fourth trip there; we're going twice this fall/winter. We also like beach vacations; we like to rent houses in Mexico or the Virgin Islands. Rent a house for two weeks and do nothing but sit on the beach. Swim, sun, eat dinner.

We made sure to clarify that he's talking about Disney World and not Disney Land, and he assured us that they "like the Florida one; more stuff to do."

Likewise, Anthony Bourdain is very specific about his ideal vacation spot and the amenities it must have:

I want to stay in one place. It would be in coastal Vietnam...Bali...Sardinia. I'm very familiar with those places and I have friends there. Also I'd need to be close enough to a hospital—it's the dad thing. I'm a doting father and I'm a little more high-maintenance on vacation now. I spend a lot of my time living rough on the show so when I'm staying in one place for a couple of weeks with my family, yea I kinda want room service—the availability of room service and a beach chair.

Hear that, avid watchers of the Travel Channel? Famous travel show faces are just like you; they just want family time, room service, and as little decision making as possible.
