  • 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++.

    I have listened to many episodes of the DCL Duo while preparing for my own Alaskan Disney cruise! They are so fun to listen to and extremely informative. I love listening to them on my drive home from work! I always suggest them to people new to Disney cruising!
