Ep. 228 - There's A Party Going On Right Here: Our Wish Maiden Voyage (Part 1)
The time has arrived for the DCL Duo's review of the Wish, Disney Cruise Line's newest ship. We decided to enlist the help of some of our sailing companions to get a diversity of opinion about the new ship. We have a ton of ground to cover from staterooms, to main dining, to adult dining experiences, bars, shows, pools, the AquaMouse and so much more. We had a busy (but fun) five days and did nearly everything we could onboard. We did so much, we split this review into two episodes. So buckle-up, it's about to get real!!

We're continuing our conversation with Josh and Megan on this week's bonus show, to chat about their pre-cruse and post-cruise stays at WDW. We can't think of a better way to gear-up for a Disney Cruise Line sailing than a pre-trip park stay. And we can't think of a better way to landy softly back after a DCL cruise than a resort-only trip to WDW. Josh and Megan did both! We always love catching-up on the parks with our guests!!
