Well, the benefit of being retired.

So on this whole cruise, we'll start off with a couple of days at Alani and then Alaska to, then Hawaii to Vancouver and then Alaska. So it's going to be three weeks. I am so, can you, do you want to adopt me, you guys? I'm coming with you. I'm coming with you.

Welcome back, everybody, this week's episode of the DCL duo podcast. And on this week's show,

we are excited to welcome in a couple of listeners

because we are going to talk about the exotic world, the fabulous world, the dream of back-to-back

cruising on Disney Cruise Line. And so let me start by welcoming our guests, Mike and Connie, to the show. Welcome,

and it was going to pay for our cruise. Now it's not such a good deal, but at the time, it was a

really good deal. So we now have five DVCs. We kind of went a little overboard there and have

done 22 cruises. We absolutely love Disney. Now, I've only done 21 cruises.

Yes, and to remind our listeners, we had you guys on to talk about Disney Cruise Line first.

So we talked about some of the maiden voyages and stuff like that that you guys have done,
