Missy and Jason are joining us this week to share their family's first Disney Cruise Line experience, a three-night sailing aboard the Disney Dream. Jason was reluctant to try a cruise, and a Disney cruise in particular, but after sailing on the Dream, did he come away a convert? We talk about the experience from end-to-end, including how Missy snagged her family a Castaway Cay cabana, and what Missy and Jason thought about the fan favorite Palo Brunch. We also learned what Missy and Jason's kids (who were early teens or over 18) thought about their experience onboard. All that and more on this week's show!

We are joined this week by a very special guest - Siegfried Tieber. Siegfried is a close-up magician who has performed for (and fooled) the likes of Penn & Teller. He's also a DCL stage performer, bringing his show to the high-seas to entertain adults and families on all four of Disney's original ships. Siegfried shares his journey to magic, the highs and lows of his career, and what it's like to be a stage performer on Disney Cruise Line. He also even took some time to share a card trick with us that you can see on our YouTube channel or Facebook Group. We had so much fun chatting with Siegfried and hope we can see his show again soon on Disney Cruise Line. If you'd like to connect with Siegfried and see more of his amazing magic, head over to website or follow him on Instagram.

The Disney Wish recently experienced a "techincal issue" that delayed her arrival in Nassau and caused her to overnight in Nassau for repairs. A planned stop at Castaway Cay was also cut from the itinerary, although Disney Cruise Line cited weather as the cause, despite a late departure out Nassau the same day she was due at Castaway on the three-nigh Bahamian itinerary. Guests onboard were offered a $100 onboard credit per stateroom, and a 20% Future Cruise Credit (FCC). There's been some disagreement online about whether that compensation was reasonable, especially for folks who might not be able to sail DCL again before the FCC expires in two years. We're chatting with Nick, who was onboard the sailing, to hear what happened and get his reactions on how Disney handled the situation. We're also giving our own thoughts on what DCL could have done better.  All that and more on this week's bonus episode.

In this episode, we're joined by Sarah Holland, a travel agent with Magical Moments Vacation. Sarah shares her experience on her first Disney cruise aboard the Disney Wish and compares it to her many experiences sailing Holland America Line (HAL). Sarah enjoyed her time on the Disney Wish, and says she'd sail Disney Cruise Line (DCL) again, but also highlights a few spots where HAL outperforms DCL. We're chatting onboard experience, service, food, entertainment, and the overall atmosphere of the ship. She also shares her thoughts on why you might want to consider HAL over DCL in some situations. Overall, Sarah speaks very highly of her experience on the Disney Wish and says she'll sail Disney Cruise Line again! You can connect with Sarah on Facebook and Instagram.

This week we are chatting with Kara and Gene all about their amazing experience on an Adventures by Disney (ABD) expedition to Antarctica, the land of ice and penguins. Kara and Gene started our journey in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before flying to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, and boarding a luxurious expedition ship with Ponant Cruise Lines. This ship was specially designed to navigate the icy waters of Antarctica and offer the best comfort and service, including fabulous ABD expedition guides. Kara and Gene explored the stunning landscapes and scenic seascapes of the Antarctic Peninsula, where they saw amazing wildlife like whales, seals, and of course, penguins. Some of the highlights of our trip were visiting Deception Island, an active volcano with a caldera that forms a natural harbor; cruising through Lemaire Channel, a narrow passage surrounded by towering mountains; and witnessing the spectacular scenery of Paradise Bay. They also had a lot of fun on board the ship, where they enjoyed delicious meals, engaging activities, and cozy accommodations. They made new friends with fellow Adventurers and shared some truly unforgettable experiences and memories; all with the unparalleled Disney service and experience. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that they will never forget. All that and more on this week's episode!
