We're brining you a unique back-to-back intinerary on this week's show. Emily and Adrian took a cruise on the Magic out of Miami, and then, after a brief stay at Walt Disney World, hopped on the Dream out Port Canaveral. This family of six had a blast on their two sailings and shared not only their onboard experience, including brunch and dinner at Palo and dinner at Remy, but also the planning and process they used to do two sailings, out of two ports, on one vacation. Oh, and they had some food allergies to navigate as well! All that and more on this week's episode.
