0:00.0	He is, he is a Disney Cruise Line fan for life and he's only five.
0:03.4	So we're in real trouble.
0:04.1	Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my
0:21.9	Path Unwinding Travel.
0:23.6	And Sam, we got a banner day of recording today.
0:26.6	It's our first of two recordings we're doing today.
0:28.9	You ready for the marathon, not a sprint today?
0:31.4	I guess for an honor of Marathon weekend when we're recording.
0:33.7	Yes, I am totally ready.
0:34.9	And I'm well caffeinated.
0:36.7	I've got a sweet cream cold brew right next to me instead of my usual topo chico. Wow, you know it's a big day when Sam's going, I've never heard you have a sweet cream cold brew before. So I definitely have. Is that where the whole house is vibrating right now? Is that, is that you? Yeah, I think I've said on the show before. I think my autobiography would be called Life at the Bottom of Venty Coldbrew. So I am definitely a caffeine addict. But we're excited because, one, we've got a great family here who's going to chat with us about their time on the wish. But it was also a very merry time sailing. It was also their first sailing on Disney Cruise Line. and for several of them, it was their first cruise ever. And for all of them, it was their first cruise in at least 20 years. So we got first time cruising. We got the Disney wish from a first-timers perspective. And we got the Disney wish at a very maritime cruise, which if the online chat was to be believed could be a potentially divisive topic out there. So we're excited for this show,

1:42.3	none, but tell us about your background with Disney overall. Like. What made you choose a Disney cruise and your love of Disney?
1:48.8	Let's see. I grew up working in a theme park. It wasn't Disney, but growing up outside Chicago,
1:55.8	it was Six Flags. Oh, cool. So I spent three years working at a theme park during college, loved it in the entertainment part.
2:03.3	So that led me to a friend of mine moved to L.A.
2:06.4	And he's like, you got to come out and come to Disneyland.
2:08.5	I had never been.

2:16.5	Wow.
