  • Seattle Lawyer Colleague Brian and Sam Fan

    Stumbled upon DCL Duo to prep for an upcoming cruise (our first Disney cruise) with extended family. Brain and Sam give my brain the minutia it needs to feel prepared and as if every scenario has been fully analyzed to create the highest probability of success for my clients (extended family). I can’t wait to put everything I’ve learned to use and give the law a reprieve for a week on the Treasure this New Year’s Eve. Thanks Sam and Brian for being such a public example of lawyers who are del... more

  • Podcast Will Make You a DCL Fan if You’re Not Already

    This podcast is incredibly informative and full of energy - Sam and Brian’s enthusiasm is contagious! I initially found the show when trying to decide on a DCL or Princess cruise to Alaska in 2026 - they had episodes covering both and then I quickly got sucked into listening to MANY of their other episodes. Was inspired to hook a shorter DCL cruise in the meantime - partly because I just didn’t want to wait until 2026 and partly to improve my booking window for Alaska excursions. Thank you for t... more

  • Dash of Judgement

    This is an amazing podcast, essential listening for any fan of Disney Cruise Line. Your podcasts are bright spots in the wasteland that is time between Disney Cruises…. Now for my own dash of judgement, Surface Pressure is a poor choice for favorite Disney Song and the fact that your guests never choose Darth Vader or Han Solo as their favorite “Disney” character is nothing short of criminal. Still A++.

  • Thank you!

    Enjoy your show! I’ve been a Disney fan since the early ’70’s with my 1st visit to WDW. My wife and I are Gold DCL members, empty nesters, and enjoying several cruises annually.
