So you could actually jump and, like, go into the pool.

They had, there was a huge line.

And everybody, you just got to swim through one of the pools.

And at the end, they gave you a certificate that said that you swam the Panama Canal.

Yeah.

Yeah. Welcome back, everybody, this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast.

And, you know, I've started to introduce Sam because I, you know, first couple years of the podcast. I just keep forgetting to introduce my fabulous dynamic co-host,

the on-air talent here at the DCL duo, Sam. That's right. Well, Sam. Why, thanks, Brian. Thanks for

having me in my home. I assume that the green M&Ms were to your liking in the green room this

evening. You know, I'm really glad you picked out all of the, you know, all of the brown ones. You know, I really don't like those. And so, you know, I demand a whole bunch of weird things in my rider to perform.

Yeah, I didn't pick them out. I just ate them. So sorry about that. Because the brown ones are my favorite. So anyway, well, we are here today to talk about a fabulous Panama Canal cruise. One of the last Panama Canal cruises for the wonder, at least in the near future,

now that she's based permanently on the West Coast or permanently is a fiction, I guess, for Disney Cruise Line.

But at least for now, she's on the West Coast and has no plans to transit the Panama Canal again.

So we wanted to bring on a fabulous guest who was on board the westbound Panama Canal cruise. I want to welcome Kristen to our show. Welcome, Kristen. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, thanks for joining us. I'm excited. We've had your colleague Gail on before. You're a travel specialist or a magic maker. I'm always getting the terminology confused, but with often Everland travel. Is that right? Yes, that's correct. Yep. Yeah, wonderful. Well, we're

excited to talk to you today about the westbound Panama Canal cruise. But Kristen, we always

like to start our shows with our guests' Disney cruising backgrounds. And so what's your

experience been with Disney Cruise Line over time? Sure. So I have actually only been on the Disney Wonder.

This is my third time on the Wonder. We started with Alaska in 2018. We did the Baja

in 2019 and then the Panama Canal this year. Nice. Are you West Coast based? I am Midwest,

actually. So I'm in Chicago. Yeah. So it just kind of happened that way. Yeah, that is unusual. I feel like most people who sail Disney Cruise Line have often have not been on the Wonder at all because it is often on the West Coast. And unusual that you've only sailed on the wonder. I kind of love that because we love

the wonder. I love the wonder. It's got definitely has a special place in my heart because it's the

first ship we went on. So you said, you said Alaska, westbound, and then what was your other cruise?
