0:10.4	hey dcl duo fan just a quick note before we dive into tonight's episode you might be thinking
0:16.8	didn't they already do an episode on their disney dream cruise and the answer is yes we did we did. Did a full trip report as the DCL duo on that cruise. But while we were on the cruise, we were there with Doug McKnight from Rope Drop Radio. And we could not resist recording a little bit of an episode with Doug. And so I wanted to bring you my conversation with Doug. We chatted once on the cruise and once after we got home about the
0:37.7	cruise and just think his perspective is great because he and Michelle had a few different
0:41.5	experiences than we did on board. And so just great to have their perspective on that. And yeah,
0:46.2	hope you enjoy it. Now on to the episode.

1:36.1	it was the one available, so you book it. And it's been great. I have all the Diet Coke I could ever
1:40.8	drink. I think they've restocked, actually, since we took a few.
1:44.6	So, yes, we are just getting over a power outage on Castaway Key, which is interesting,
