Really enjoying the podcasts… I would enjoy hearing you (or Isabelle) address kids clubs in depth. My kids on last cruise would not go near them (ages 9 and 13), although it wasn’t an issue as we were cruising with a family that had kids of similar ages. We are cruising with Disney again next year with just our own kids. How do we convince them to give the clubs a try? Would love yours and your daughter’s input! Thanks!
In the podcast you mentioned a site that you used to track the price change of the cruise. What was the site?
Rich, My bad, I forgot to put that in the show notes. It is the TouringPlans.com DCL Fare Tracker which is now linked in the show notes.
Thank you!
Nice podcast again though I thought the 90 minutes were a bit long to be listened in one go.
Maybe something a bit more palatable like 30-40 minutes?
Anne, Thanks for your feedback. I too prefer shorter podcasts. However, we’ve discussed the podcast durations and we realized we would be doing a disservice if we focused on time. We decided to to let the subject and content determine the length. Honestly, going into a recording session we never know how long we will be talking. Some topics require or deserve additional time while others can be short to the point.
Love the podcast length- would like it longer!
Me too! Love the longer format…
Beth & Lisa, Thanks for your feedback. As I replied to Anne, we decided to to let the subject and content determine the podcast length. Some topics will result in longer podcasts, while others may be shorter.
Another great podcast — thank you for doing these. I’m very anxious to hear the (hopefully soon!) upcoming one on packing. We have 54 days until our cruise. 🙂
You also mentioned on the podcast using a travel agent to book an upcoming cruise. I’ve always gone directly through Disney’s web site so I would like to hear what you feel are the advantages of using a travel agent.
Rich, I added this to our list of future podcast topics.
🙂
Loved the podcast…I think it would be fun to hear your reviews on the different A shows and musicals from the boats and hear what you would like to see come to a boat next. I would love to see a Peter Pan Musical!
Love the podcast!! I have a question, we just checked-in to our cruise the 4 night from Vancouver to San Diego, in Aug. We live in San Diego and are flying in the day before and staying at the Fairmont airport hotel the night before and we pre purchased disney transfer to the port from the airport. This is our first time doing this, when we check-in it allowed us to pick our arrival time so we picked the earliest time 11am. When do we know what time we get the disney transfer to the port, we are so confused
Disney should provide you with the information on your transfer for this specific departure.
Would you find that online in our account or only by phone?
Hey Scott – We’re looking at possibly doing a back-to-back 3 and 4 night cruise out of Port Canaveral. I’m wondering if we can book the same room for both sailings and leave our stuff in the room after the first sailing while we head off to Disney World for the day?
If you have the same stateroom yes! It is a wonderful feeling at the end of the first cruise when you do not need to pack up on the final night.
You should do a podcast regarding saving for a cruise
