DCL Podcast

Dennis joins us this week to discuss his family’s latest cruise with Disney Cruise Line, aboard the Disney Wonder to Alaska. This is the second time he and his family have headed north aboard the Wonder, and it this cruise didn’t disappoint. We talk to him about spending time in Vancouver before the cruise, and some of their favorite things to do around the city. We then head North on the Wonder and catch up with him on their favorite things to do onboard, discuss some of the regional food DCL offers on these sailings, and then jump into the reason we all want to sail to Alaska, spending time in the amazing ports. He and his family were lucky to sail on a smaller ship on glacier day, to get them even closer to Dawes Glacier, where he got some amazing photos and videos of the glacier. We then touch on what they did in the ports of Juneau, Skagway, and of course Ketchikan. So pack your gortex, your hiking boots, and don’t forget your binoculars, we’re headed up to the Great White North aboard the Beautiful Disney Wonder.

Vanessa and Andrew join us this week to discuss what Disney Cruise Line offers for guests with Accessibility needs. Andrew uses a wheel chair to get around, so we touch on all aspects of how it works to travel with Disney Cruise Line, along with some of their challenges. We touch on the Special Services Information form which guests fill out prior to cruising, to let DCL know what needs and services the guest and their family will need. We then touch on the amenities available in the Accessible Staterooms, how easy it is to move around the ships and experience everything each sailing has to offer, how dining and the shows work, what to look for in possible Port Adventures, and finally why Castaway Cay provides them with the perfect Island experience while on their cruise. Again, we’d like to give a huge shout out to Vanessa and Andrew for sharing with all of our listeners their knowledge and experience, into what Disney Cruise Line offers for guests with Accessibility needs.
