DCL Podcast

This week were joined by Amanda Bauner, the amazing host of The Disney Travel for All Podcast. Amanda sailed solo on her first Disney Cruise aboard the Fantasy. Since then she has sailed solo, and in groups, and has built an amazing podcast community to help others travel to the Disney Parks and aboard the ships solo, or with friends and family. We have a fun time talking to her about her adventures, and she provides a lot of tips for others who ate planning to sail solo as well. Its time to pack that perfect outfit for Remy, grab a good book, and don’t forget your thirst for adventure….we’re setting sail aboard the Disney Ships with the amazing Amanda Bauner.

Sarah, from Gluten Free Dairy Free WDW, joins us again this week to discuss some of the differences you’ll experience when sailing on one of Disney Cruise Lines Classic Ships vs. the larger Dream Class Ships. Some fact, and of course some opinion on our part, we talk about dining, cabins, entertainment offerings, over all layout of the ship, and of course how your time at Castaway Cay may be affected based on the ship you’re sailing on. But let’s be honest, theres not a bad ship in the fleet, and any day at sea with DCL, beats a day at the office. So, no matter if you’re aboard the pride of the fleet, the Disney Magic, or the latest ship built, the Disney Fantasy (until the Wish begins sailing of course), you and your family and friends are in for an amazing time.

We’re joined this week by Lake and Kaitie from MouseGen, and Stephen from our podcast, for a fun roundtable discussion focusing on their recent cruise experiences. As DCL begins to increase capacity onboard, and do away with most of the social distancing rules, we thought it was a good time to get their perspectives on what cruising has been like, before we start to see cruising become much as it was before the shut down. So pack your bags, grab your Go Pro, and get ready for some laughs, as we set sail with good friends aboard the Disney Magic and Dream.
