  • A wealth of information!

    I listened to this show to help plan for my family’s first Disney cruise. The tips I learned from Chris and Co. were invaluable for our sailing on the Destiny this past summer. We just booked a NYE cruise for NYE 2027. I can’t find a NYE cruise episode recap (like the HOTHS and Merrytime recaps). A NYE cruise recap would be a great and appreciated episode topic

  • Must listen for Disney tips

    This pod is by far the most insidery Disney Cruise pod with best little-known tips. Listening has saved me money and—more important—time and frustration. Plus it’s just a delightful listen and gets me excited and planning for my next DCL adventure. Even got my teenage son listening so he gets more into planning too. 10/10

  • Fun and informative

    This is the place to go for your DCL info. They know their stuff and are really on top of the latest updates. It’s a pleasant combo of fun banter, interesting opinions, and comprehensive overviews of all things DCL. I get that they’re a travel agency and pushing their services but if you can get past it, it’s worth the listen.

  • New and Revamped

    The past couple of years or so (timing may be off a bit) had a change in the show a tad. It’s one of the best shows for Disney cruise line info out there, if not the best. They are very comprehensive. Chris and Elaine are great, along with the guests.
