The excursions overall, I think we had a pretty good selection.

0:03.4

You know, there's always sort of highs and lows with each one.

0:07.1

But nothing was like a disaster.

0:09.4

And like I said, no vomit bags were used.

0:12.9

That's a big win for my family.

0:14.8

Yeah.

0:15.0

Yeah. Hey, DCL dual fans, before we dive into tonight's episode, just a couple of quick announcements.

0:31.6

For sorry, we got off our release schedule.

0:33.1

We had a couple week hiatus there.

0:34.7

I had intended to put out some shows while we were traveling, and it just

0:37.8

did not happen as we were spending some quality time together as a family. But we are now back on

0:42.8

our release cadence and hope you're enjoying the episodes. That's also what led to our super-sized

0:47.9

episode recently, a two-hour episode about our fabulous trip out to Willie and Rebecca's wedding in Orlando

0:53.3

and a week-long cruise on The Wish. It was so much fun. So I hope you enjoyed that supersized episode. We generally try to keep the episodes down to an hour. And so I hope you enjoyed that episode. We probably won't have too many of those in the future. With that, we did have a couple of a listener questions come in. The first one is over email. And so I wanted to read those on the air and respond to them so everyone in the community can benefit from them. So let's head over to the old email inbox. You've got mail. This one comes from Kristen who writes, Hi, DCL duo, and one of your podcasts, Sam mentioned that she knows she has to get to the theater 30 to 45 minutes early to get a seat. I assumed there was enough capacity to seat everyone assigned to the same

1:27.5

dining time. Is it possible you're also competing with some in the other time slot who made alternative dining plans, i.e. room service and are choosing to watch the show at the time that corresponds with the other half of the ship. I have a five-year-old and a two-and-a-half-year-old, so I worry about their patience waiting for the show to begin and don't want to get there any earlier than I have to. It sounds like getting there 20 minutes early may not be enough.

1:47.0

Well, Kristen, I wanted to let

1:48.0

Sam respond to that. So let's Sam take over here. Thanks so much for your question, Kristen.

1:52.1

First, to answer your question, is there enough capacity for everyone on board if you split them

1:57.0

in half into the early and the late shows? And the answer is actually no. I believe the

2:02.4

Walt Disney theater holds between 1,000 to 1,200 passengers depending upon the ship. And on the

2:08.6

larger ships, you're talking about, you know, 4,000 people on board or passengers on board. But generally

2:14.5

speaking, there are enough seats for everyone who wants to go see the show because not everyone is going to go to the main stage theater shows. But the reason for why I get
