Summary

This week we're chatting with Bryan all about his journey from reluctant cruiser to DCL fanatic. Bryan and his family have quickly amassed five sailings on Disney Cruise Line. Bryan was initially resistant to cruising, in part because of the price tag, but now sees DCL as potentially a better value for him and his family, than a parks vacation. Come hear why that might be and whether you may want to start your own journey to becoming a Disney Cruise Line fan. All that and more on this week's episode.
