204 Rebroadcast: Coffee at the Cove, Disney Wish opening day Bookings
Join us for a rebroadcast of our live Coffee at the Cove episode, which aired May 17 on Facebook and YouTube. This is a fun hour featuring two guests, Holly and Brad, who were successful in booking the second sailing on the Disney Wish. The second Disney Wish sailing was bought out by DVC, and all Direct DVC owners were eligible to book it on opening day. This was a very popular sailing, and it sold out in less than a day. We have a fun time talking to Holly and Brad about the booking process, their past cruises, what they’re looking forward to experiencing on the Disney Wish, and a little about their DVC background. For those who were unable to catch the show live, enjoy this rebroadcast.
