DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast

Wesley is back from his trip on the Wish and it's time to see if his fears were realized! Wesley is a seasoned Disney Cruise Line (DCL) veteran, but after sailing on Royal Caribbean he was a bit nervous about whether the Wish could live up to an Oasis-class experience, and whether some of the changes Disney implemented from the Dream-class ships to the Triton or Wish-class ships would sour him and his family to the experience. After chatting with him pre-cruise, we think we got him a bit more excited about trying out the Wish. Time to see how he and his family fared! You can follow along on Wesley's future adventures on Instagram and X (@DigitalDvnprt), or see some of Wesley's amazing Disney Parks photogaphy on his separate Instagram and X accounts (@v55_71). If you are looking to book your next Disney Cruise, then head over to My Path Unwinding Travel so Karen and her team of expert travel professionals can help you find the perfect vacation for you and your family. If you use Sea Bands to prevent motion sickness, then you need to check out Blisslets (via our affiliate link), a stylish alternative to traditional sea sickness bands.

Wesley joins us this week in the first of a two-part series. Wesley reached out because he was a bit apprehensive about sailing on the Disney Wish. He's a seasoned Disney Cruise Line (DCL) veteran, but after sailing on Royal Caribbean he was a bit nervous about whether the Wish could live up to an Oasis-class experience, and whether some of the changes Disney implemented from the Dream-class ships to the Triton or Wish-class ships would sour him and his family to the experience. We attempt to allay some of Wesley's concerns, and, in part two later this week, we'll get to hear what Wesley thought after his sailing on the Disney Wish. You can follow along on Wesley's future adventures on Instagram and X (@DigitalDvnprt), or see some of Wesley's amazing Disney Parks photogaphy on his separate Instagram and X accounts (@v55_71).
