The Disney cast members have been a bunch of busy little bees over there the last few days,

releasing all kinds of updates from World to Cruise, and we are going to cover all of those today.

Hello and welcome to a Dick of the Mouse.

Today is Sunday, May 17th, released to episode number 798, and this is Disney updates from World to Cruise.

Hello and from world to cruise. Hey everybody, Dan Leslie here.

Thanks for joining us today.

I'm excited to talk about the news, but I'm excited to talk about a couple other things too. Yeah, we got some other stuff to talk about real quick. I know you got some things, but it's on my mind and I'm going to forget if I don't say it. So just we have been getting a lot of interest in booking placeholders with fantastical vacations. So maybe you went on

a Disney cruise that you booked directly with Disney Cruise Line and you'd like an onboard credit or

you'd like help navigating a different part of the globe or talking through Alaska cruisers or

whatever it is. Please just know that if you did purchase a placeholder on your Disney cruise,

Disney is very specific and pretty strict. You have to transfer that

to a travel agent within 30 days from the day that you purchase the placeholder itself in order

for us to be able to help with that. It's a simple one-page form. Reach out to us. Dan at

fantasticalvacations.com, Leslie at fantasticalvacations.com or any other fantasticalv vacations.com travel advisor, we would all love to help. And with any placeholder booking, you will still get an onboard credit from fantastical vacations. We just have to transfer it within 30 days from purchase. So just a quick reminder out there. It's a little known fact. And a lot of people are, you know, they reach out because they bought it and they wait a few months and then they're ready to book their careers, which is totally fine. But we can't help at that point. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people find us on the podcast after you've booked your vacation and then you start searching for podcast to get excited for it. And then you stumble across us and want to use us in the future. And this is something that we've seen an increase of is people wanting to use us, but

they just didn't transfer their placeholder in time.

Yeah. And honestly, the placeholder is a great deal. It is a great deal. It's fantastic. I mean,

it's 10% off of most cruises for most rooms, including concierge now. There's some blockouts,

but most. And now, this year,

especially, they are doing a lot of 20 and 25% discounts with a placeholder on certain

sailings. So to spend $250, which is totally refundable, to get 10% up to 25% off a cruise,

like, it's a good deal. So absolutely. I mean, we buy one on pretty much every cruise we go on.

We just bought one on the wish a couple of weekends ago. So totally get it. But just remember that 30-day rule. Yeah. All right. So we actually got to experience something pretty fun this past week. What are you talking about? What do we did? We were invited by an instructor, a professor at the University of Georgia to come and speak to
