Again, I was hesitant to go on the ship and now I'm looking back at myself, like, you idiot.

Like, what do you mean you don't want to go on to Disney Magic?

Right.

I mean, what do you mean you don't want to fly to Texas to get on the ship?

I would fly to Galveston tomorrow if I could go on the Disney Magic again.

So I guess that's a testament to how special it really is. Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL duo podcast brought to you by my

to a lot of you out there who are following Disney stuff on socials. If you watch YouTube,

Drew the Disney dude. Welcome, Drew. Thank you guys

for having me on. It's like you said, I'm, I'm kind of entering the Disney Cruise Line space finally.
