- Essential listening from across the pond
We’ve been listening to Brian and Sam for well over a year now, and the podcast has quickly become a favourite on car journeys. It did a brilliant job of getting us excited ahead of both our Hawaii and Alaska DCL cruises this past year - our first Disney Cruises.
We love the laughs, your positivity, and the zero profit, charity focused heart of the show - it truly sets you apart.
Please keep up the fantastic work, and keep the episodes coming!
Love Sam, Laura & Florence from the UK xxx

I listen to your Podcast on my way to work and always find it very enjoyable. I’ve been on 8 DCL cruises so far but I never fail to learn something new on your show. I love your banter and insight on DCL. It has definitely made me a more informed cruiser! Keep up the good work and I will keep listening in to hear about all the cool cruises your guests are taking and daydreaming about my next Disney Cruise!

Pack the suitcase! I’m heading on a DCL cruise on the Disney Dream on Monday out of Southampton (haven’t been on a DCL cruise for a few years). Listening to the duo’s love for all things Disney and this informative podcast has me feeling prepared!

I started listening to Brian and Sam after booking our first family DCL vacation coming up this fall! Well, let’s just say I somehow convinced my husband to put a second one on the books before we have even gone on the first one soooooo the obsession has come on strong. I’m so grateful for their diverse group of guests, honest perspectives, and their genuine love of Disney magic! My personal favorite guest will always be Nathan! Thank you Brian and Sam for your commitment to the DCL community.
