Hi, guys.

Welcome, Emily, was what I was saying.

And I was asking, were you doing any of these fabulous,

did you do any of these fabulous excursions on your Alaska ceiling?

I mean, I wish I could have gotten in on that glacierita.

That sounds amazing.

That's definitely on the list for next time.

Welcome back, everybody to this week's live episode of the DCL duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel and also are really good friends over at wdw magazine in fact we have one of them joining us this evening let me bring her on stephanie welcome

thanks for having me yeah we are so excited for all of you out there you hear me say it every week. Head over to DCL-magizine.com to sign up for the, you can get the issue now in your mailbox. You can get it. But Stephanie's here. She's got the issue there. She's here to provide a little color as to why because they have some great coverage in this magazine about all things Disney Cruise Line. And so we're going to be talking to Emily Carlson here in a second from We Do Disney Right. And she's going to be talking to us about her Alaska sailing. And so we invite Stephanie on to talk about a little bit about the magazine, but also to give us some of her picks for Alaska shore excursion. So Stephanie, you want to kick us off with a good pick

for an Alaska short excursion for all those out there watching? I do. I have a few for you,

actually, because I haven't been to Alaska yet. It's on my bucket list. I know you guys are going

soon, and I can't wait to see and hear everything that you have to say about that. But as you

know, Disney cruises wildly popular,

and so are Alaska cruises, Disney or otherwise, but they only typically run part of the year due to

weather, so that reduces the inventory, which makes them really hard to get into. It drives up prices.

All of those factors mean that Disney cruises to Alaska are some of the most expensive

you're going to find, right? And what we've heard from a lot of our readers is that people often

ought to stay on board because they've already spent so much getting on the cruise.

Wow. I know. And I think that's such a big mistake for Alaska. I can understand if you've been to the Bahamas a hundred times and you want to stay on the Disney ships. But in Alaska, you're doing yourself a disservice and Alaska a disservice. And I think that even if it means you delay your trip for a year so you could save up a little more, you really need to be prepared

to spend on those excursions and truly experience Alaska.

Disney's actually curated almost 200 port adventurers.

I'd be looking up today to make sure I had my numbers right.
