- Simply the best!
The best DCL podcast around! Sam and Brian are personable, well versed on all things DCL and so enjoyable to listen to. I appreciate that they are non biased (with a little bit of Sam’s sass and judgement), family oriented and interview a wide variety of guests. Their advice and tips have helped me so much, especially as a newbie navigating the DCL world. So thankful for this podcast! You are simply the best!

Canadaa month ago Great duo Disney podcast! Brian & Sam are so much fun, a big wealth of knowledge and great show to listen to always. They make me laugh and smile and they brighten my morning drive.

You have just lost a long time listener. How dare you comment on JK Rowling’s views on transgender issues on a DCL podcast. She’s “reprehensible”? Who are you to make that pronouncement. Privileged person who has never had to make use of a woman’s shelter. Have you even read all of her views? This is not the place for this type of comment. It’s a shame because I’ll miss your relevant content. I guess it’s the DCL dude for me from now on.
Apple Podcasts1dlinblairCanadaa month ago - Awesome show!
This show is great for both cruise prep and celebrating why it’s so fun to travel on Disney cruises. I love Sam’s bubbly and cheerful personality and Brian’s attention to detail and thoughtful questions. This show has quickly become part of my weekly podcast rotation. Thank you for the great show!

United Statesa month ago - Favorite Way to Fill the DCL Void!
Listening to DCLDuo helps me fill the gap between cruises when I’m missing DCL! I’ve learned so much listening (even after 8 cruises)! And it makes my boring drive fun and quick! Sam and Brian are funny, honest and I love rapid fire!! You can hear their passion for DCL in every episode, even when things don’t go as expected! I look forward to new episodes and have started watching on YouTube!
