Actually, on my first date with my husband, he asked me if I thought about having kids in the future.

And I said, yes, and we will go to Disney World every year.

Yeah, so I don't know why he's so surprised now that every family vacation revolves around Disney. Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel.

And Sam, we got a review to read on the air. I'm going to skip your commentary ahead of time because we're a little pressed for time with our guests this morning. So I want to make sure we make the most of having our guest on. So this review comes from our magical travels who writes, Best Cruising Podcast. The DCL Duo podcast is by far the best cruise podcast out there. They have lots of great guests with varied perspective and honest reviews. They are not afraid to say if something was bad, good, or in between. I like the mix of elevated experiences, even though I will probably never be able to afford them in standard state rooms. If you're planning for a cruise, not just DCL, they cover other cruise lines from time to time, or just trying to keep yourself sane between trips. This is the podcast for you. So, wow. Thank you for that. Thank you for that. Our magical travels. We appreciate it. And yes, we do try to cover some other experiences out there in the space. Disney has our heart, but, you know, not full access to our pocketbook any longer. So, um, so that's just the way, yeah, Sam, you want to, you want to get us started here with our, with our guests? Yeah. First, I want to say thank you to that listener for that review. I'm very flattered. There's lots of cruise podcasts out there. Obviously, there's not as many Disney Cruise Focus podcasts, but there are lots of cruise podcasts out there. So thank you for

listening and thank you for that lovely compliment. But I do want to introduce first time guest to

the show, Andrea, who is also a first time cruiser. So of course, we get one of my favorite show topics

today. Andrea, welcome to the show. Hi, thanks for having me. Yeah. So tell us, Andrea, where does your Disney love come from?

And I know you don't have any prior Disney cruise experience.

Do you have any prior cruise experience before booking on DCL?

No prior cruise experience.

I guess my Disney background is I grew up child of the 90s. You know,

Disney movies were everything. I think I was every princess for Halloween at some point,

you know, in my childhood. And I always wanted to go to Disney World growing up all my friends did.

And, you know, unfortunately, my family just didn't travel much. But I kind of made

a promise to myself that when I had kids someday, you know, I'd give them that I'd deal with American

childhood, those memories. And so, you know, that's what I committed to doing. And actually,

on my first date with my husband, he asked me if I thought about having kids in the future.

And I said, yes, and we will go to Disney World every year.

Yeah.

So I don't know why he's so surprised now that every family vacation revolves around Disney.

That's, you know, I warn I, I warn them up front.

Yeah.
