Bryan joins us this week to discuss his family’s latest sailing aboard the Disney Dream out of Port Canaveral this past Spring.

Doug joins us this week to discuss his family’s experiences sailing with Disney Cruise Line, and also the latest cruise he and his wife took aboard the Disney Wonder (a repositioning cruise between San Diego and Vancouver, British Columbia). We start off discussing why his kids, as teens, still enjoy sailing on DCL. Then we turn the focus to this cruise, which only he and his wife sailed on (featuring stops in San Francisco and Victoria). This was the first time that they had sailed concierge, so we cover all aspects of what Concierge provides, along with the Port Adventures they experienced in San Francisco and Victoria. So pack your bags, your sense of adventure, and your willingness to explore, where headed north along the West Coast to Canada, aboard the beautiful Disney Wonder Connect with Steve, Christy, and Chris: steve@dclpodcast.com christy@packyourpixiedust.com chriszbright@gmail.com Follow the DCL Podcast via: http://www.facebook.com/dclpodcast http://www.instagram.com/dcl_podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFg4roSA0yy1qnCySn4tTdQ Support our show via Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/dclpodcast Book your next Vacation with Christy: http://www.packyourpixiedust.com

Alex and Anthony join us this week to discuss their second sailing aboard the Disney Wonder, this time to Alaska. These two Disney Cruise Line fans were engaged aboard the Disney Wonder the first time they sailed on her, so they wanted to get back onboard as soon as they could. We hear all about pre-planning for their trip to Alaska, spending time in Vancouver beforehand, and then all the initial fun they had onboard. Unfortunately, half way through this sailing, Alex tested Positive for Covid. They both then give a detailed account of their experiences from that point forward. They touch on spending time in isolation, and what DCL provided them while onboard, and when they disembarked the ship, to how they followed up with them when they returned home. Unfortunately, Covid is still a factor when it comes to cruising, and we want to give Alex and Anthony a huge thank you for coming on and sharing their experience.

Alex joins me on this minisode to discuss his thoughts about the new Edge Club aboard the Disney Wish (there is an Edge Club on every Disney Ship). We cover his over all thoughts on the Disney Wish, and then turn our focus to the Edge, the club for kids ages 11-14. Alex discusses why Ice Breakers are still important to attend on the first night, his over all thoughts on the new space aboard the Wish, what activity’s happen each day in the club (and of course some of his favorites), and finish off discussing the new Hero Zone as well. We hope this minisode helps your tweens get the most out of the Edge, next time they’re sailing with you aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship.
