So just trying to keep up with all of it has not been easy, but I'm hoping that I'm doing it all right.

So if you see that I don't make it on board, that's why.

Hey, DCL dual fans. Just two quick announcements before tonight's show. You may notice that our bonus episodes coming out a little later this week. We're about a day behind on our bonus show and our main show this week. So just a heads up there. We had a little bit of an internet issue at DCL Duo headquarters here outside of Seattle. And that kind of put a kink in our ability to get the shows out this week. So about a day delayed. So expect the main show to come out probably

sometime Friday. So also wanted to just give a quick heads up that we are doing another giveaway

in honor of DCL's return to ceiling. We've got a fun little replica castaway key sign that we're

giving away. And so there's a couple of different ways that you can earn some chances to win that sign. The first is if you have not already left us a five-star review, please head over to Apple Podcasts and leave us a five-star review. Any reviews that are left between now and the end of September, so September 30th, we'll get an entry into our drawing. You can earn a second entry into our drawing by heading over to YouTube.com slash DCL Duo and subscribing to our YouTube channel. And you can earn even more entries into our drawing if you head over to patreon.com slash DCL Duo and join one of our support tiers. If you join at the lowest available tier, you will get two entries into our drawing and an extra entry for each tier up from there, up to six. So there's eight potential entries into our drawing for this Castaway Key sign. You've already left us a five-star review or you're already subscribed to our YouTube channel. Don't worry. We will be doing a separate drawing for everyone who's already subscribed and everyone who's left a review for one of David Kainig's signed books, the 55ers. And so we've got a signed copy from David who was on our show back at episode 31, I believe. And so if you want to learn more about David, you can head back and check out that episode. We will be announcing the winner of our drawing on our bonus episode, the week of October 4th. So head over, check these opportunities out and get a chance to win a fun little memento of castaway key to remind you one of our favorite places.

With that, on to our bonus show.

Welcome back, everybody, this week's bonus episode of the DCL duo podcast.

And today, we're excited to welcome aboard someone who's got kind of a unique vacation

coming up with Disney Cruise line, not by choice a little bit, but by happenstance of having

cruises shortened on board the fantasy. But I want to start by welcoming our guest Carol to the show.

Welcome, Carol. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Yeah. And so Carol, you have what what I would call a back to back with a break in the middle, basically, on board the fantasy and a four night on the 11th and then a break and then a four night on the 18th, which I know has posed some interesting challenges for you in the planning stages here. And so we wanted to talk to you about kind of that pre-cruise process a little bit.

But before we dive in, Carol, you've been on our show before,

but won't you help folks recall kind of your cruising background with Disney Cruise Line

and cruising in general?

Do you want to remind folks what your background is like?

Sure.

We started cruising with Disney in January of 2019 and fell in love with it.

And then we took our second cruise in October of 2019, which was over Halloween.

And then we did a Marvel Day at C.

We've actually done two Marvel Day at C cruises.

So we've had three cruises.
