Summary

Fan favorite Josh is back to share his family's recent DCL West Coast repositioning cruise on the Disney Wonder from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada. This was Josh's first time taking his kids on Disney Cruise Line, and we couldn't wait to hear whether they enjoyed the experience.

0:00.0	We did. And when we typed it into, you know, I was going to say MapQuest. Who says MapQuest anymore?
0:06.9	Josh, we go get my Thomas guy out of my trunk and we'll, yeah. Yeah, we faxed the MapQuest to the Duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel.
0:32.0	And Sam, your arch nemesis returns.
0:34.9	I know.
0:35.7	I'm just waiting for this.
0:37.2	I've been waiting for this show all week. I had to rearrange my schedule. I want to. I know. I'm just waiting for this. I've been waiting for this show all week.
0:39.0	I had to rearrange my schedule. I want to let you know, Josh, that I had to rearrange my schedule
0:43.4	to be here because I thought I had a conflict, rejiggered things because Brian and I talked about
0:50.0	it and it was like, there was no way that I can't be here if we're having Josh Wilson back on the
0:55.5	show. And so here we are, Josh. Welcome back to the show. And I hope you have some
1:01.0	fun, controversial hot takes for me today. I feel so honored that you would adjust your schedule.
1:06.7	And I realize in like the Disney universe, everyone loves villains. And so I'll be the DCL villain and everybody will love me and they'll love to hate me. And I'll just, I'll just own it. So thank you so much. It's always a joy. I was telling Brian is saying beforehand, it's like part of the fun of cruising is knowing after I'm done. I get to talk about it all over again with like two friends now and then listen to everybody else talk about it on the show. It's great. Yes, we kid with Josh ingest. We are all friendly off air. There's no animosity here. I'm sure we would all enjoy a drink or dinner together at some point, which we should actually make happen because we live too close. Not to, but anyway, we'll take Josh to a great restaurant here that serves black truffle per sets and hilarious. And see what he thinks. Or maybe escargo. Maybe we should just go to a French bistro and order some escargo. I'm in. I'm in. All right. So, Josh, let's start by reminding folks about your Disney cruising background. You are a recent convert over to cruising, but have embraced it fully. And so remind
2:02.8	folks about your cruising experience. Absolutely. I went on my first cruise in October 2021.
2:10.1	Since then, I've been on a handful of cruises. I think five or six now. And I'm basically only,
2:16.7	I only want a cruise for all my vacations from here on now. My wife rolls her eyes at me for it. I'm like, we could just go on a cruise. Everything now, like my currency is now cruises. It's like, yeah, we could go to that restaurant and show for a night or that's like half a cruise. So I'm just like, weigh it out. And so, yeah, now I love Disney Cruise Line.
2:34.4	I've dabbled in Royal Caribbean Cruise Line as well.
2:37.1	But Disney is Disney's Disney.
2:39.2	You can't go wrong.
2:40.0	Yeah.
2:40.3	And now this is going to be a fun conversation for a couple reasons.
