0:00.0	I have to tell you, I can't tell you how many times somebody will ask me something, and I have to go to my own book to look it up.
0:15.8	Welcome back, everybody, to the DCL Duo podcast. And this evening, we are excited to have Aaron Foster from the
0:21.9	unofficial guides with us. She's the co-author of the Disney Cruise Line unofficial guide. And we are
0:27.7	excited to have someone come on the show with Aaron's expertise to talk to us about Disney Cruise Line
0:31.9	this evening. So welcome, Aaron. Hi. Thanks for having me. So we always like to start things off with
