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.

She Did Alaska Right: Emily Sails Disney to Alaska

In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by Disney content creator and travel advisor Emily Carlson of We Do Disney Right, fresh off her first sailing to Alaska aboard the Disney Wonder. Emily is now a proud member of the Grand Slam Club, having sailed all six current Disney Cruise Line ships, and she’s sharing all the highlights from this unforgettable adventure to the Last Frontier.

Hosted by Disney Cruise Line for this sailing, Emily takes us through what it’s like to visit Alaska with your whole family—without doing any of the planning yourself. From Glacier Day character lines (including Alaska Donald) to exclusive port excursions like the Lumberjack Show and an unexpected gondola ride, Emily shares a detailed look at DCL’s Alaska itinerary.

We also cover:

• Must-do Alaska excursions vs. what to skip

• Why layering for weather (and snacks) matters

• How the Wonder became Emily’s surprise second-favorite DCL ship

• Whether Disney’s higher Alaska price tag is worth it

• Character strategy, kid-friendliness, and best photo ops

• What makes a Disney Alaska cruise unique from other lines

Plus, we speculate on the future of the Wonder and Magic, Disney’s new “small ship” class, and what we’d love to see in a Muppet-themed venue at sea.
