Summary

Sam is joined by returning guest Alicia, who recently took her first adults-only Disney Cruise Line vacation — a 3-night anniversary sailing aboard the Disney Wish! Alicia breaks down how she and her husband planned their child-free escape, including finding an amazing GTY rate, using points for airfare, and enjoying a surprise accessible aft veranda with an enormous balcony. Alicia shares what it was like to finally experience the Wish at their own pace — from early access to Quiet Cove and a 2 p.m. champagne tasting on embarkation day, to trivia marathons, live music in The Bayou, adult game shows, and their first Palo Brunch. She also talks through their spa day at Castaway Cay, including how they scored a hugepromotion on cabana massages. And yes — she gives her honest take on Arendelle, Serenity Bay, and whether a kid-free sailing changed her feelings on her favorite ship. If you’ve ever wondered what a Disney Wish sailing looks like without kids, Alicia’s firsthand experience is filled with tips, surprises, and adult-only magic. Listen now and join the conversation!
