Summary

On this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re welcoming back Erin and Todd to share their family’s first sailing aboard the Disney Treasure—and we’re spilling all the tea (and zero-proof “mocktails”) about this new Wish-class ship. From split Castaway Club status and check-in drama to secret catamaran charters in Tortola, food tours in San Juan, and Serenity Bay for the first time ever, Erin and Todd take us on a journey filled with cruise tips, family strategies, and hot takes. We’re talking:  The rare Eastern itinerary that included San Juan, Puerto Rico A secret private boat to Jost Van Dyke (and an unexpected snorkeling octopus!) First impressions of the Treasure vs. the Wish Thoughts on Sage & Coriander (Sam’s current obsession) Why the Marvel dinner show may not be the ideal first-night vibe Their deep love for Plaza de Coco and a Paolo “Zero Proof” mix-up Whether the new entertainment venues are worth the hype (spoiler: get in line early) We also get candid about crowd levels on Castaway Cay, the missing Midship Detective Agency, awkward karaoke venues, and our collective longing for a Muppets-themed restaurant. Come for the Disney details, stay for the cheeky banter—and maybe a mocktail mistake or two.
