Summary

On this week's show we are excited to talk to Claire, who recently won Disney's Year of Wishes contest and will be taking her first Disney cruise aboard a pre-maiden voyage sailing the Disney Wish. Claire had questions as a first-time cruiser on Disney Cruise Line, so we thought it would be fun to bring her on and answer her questions in "real-time" and share our answers out with the community. We even throw in some DCL 201, 301 and 401 tips for all of our experienced cruisers out there.

But if your parents are kind of adventurous and willing to be a little bit embarrassed, you should volunteer them or get them to volunteer to be contestants.

Well, hold on.

Before we sign Claire up for a lifetime of therapy, just... Welcome back, everybody, this week's episode of the DCL duo podcast, and we had a fun episode on Tap tonight.

0:35.3

It is kind of not all one theme, but it's all really exciting. And

0:40.2

Sam and I are excited to be doing it. And so I want to start by welcoming our guest to the show,

0:45.5

a listener who reached out, Claire. So I want to welcome Claire to the show. Welcome.

0:49.2

Great to be here, guys. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks for coming on and for reaching out.

0:54.1

I am so excited to do this. Well, I don't want to give too much away here. So we're just going to kind of really stick to our format here and reveal things as they happen. But I will say that the tail end of tonight's episode is going to be a little Q&A with Claire for us, that she had some questions she wrote in about. We thought it would be fun to put into a podcast format. So the main part of this show will be the Q&A segment there. But we wanted to get Claire's background first because we love to start with folks as Disney background. So Claire, I know based on what we're going to talk about as we go forward that you've not been on a Disney cruise before, but what is your experience with Disney generally? Well, my love of Disney is very hereditary. I didn't find out about this until just a few years

1:33.2

ago, but my dad went with his parents to Walt Disney World in 1971.

1:38.1

Oh, wow. If you are at Disney lover, you know that that's the first year at open, and he stayed

1:43.5

at the Polynesian,

1:44.3

which made me super jealous. And then my mom actually went with her family in 1964 to the New York

1:50.4

World's Fair and got to ride all the Disney sponsoring attractions. And it's why it's a small world

1:55.9

is her favorite attraction ever. Naturally, when the two of them got married and started having kids in the

2:01.6

80s, they wanted to take us to Walt Disney World because they had a connection with Disney.

2:06.9

And so we're not big on doing a Disney trip every year, but they were able to save their

2:12.1

pennies and we would go every five years or so. And I really liked it. And then all of a sudden into the 2000s,

2:20.2

we weren't able to go because my parents were paying for all of us to go to college.

2:24.9

So it kind of stopped. But then when I started to go out on my own, I said, you know, I really

2:30.8

want to go back. So I started going on my own and with a couple of friends and

2:35.1

realized, oh man, I love this so much. And I actually started to really get into it going every
