Listen as host Kelsey interviews her guest Jessica about her family's magical 4-night Bahamas cruise aboard the Disney Wish. Traveling with little kids and grandparents, they experienced the fun of Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, and loved their state room with a verandah balcony.

Jessica takes us through dining at the ship’s themed restaurants: 1923, Marvel, and the whimsical charm of Arendelle. Hear about the excitement of dressing up for the lively pirate night party, and how even with a gluten allergy, mom relished every meal and savored a decadent chocolate martini!

The highlight for the kids (and the adults too!) was the Aqua Mouse slide, which they couldn't resist riding multiple times in a row. Tune in to hear about all the magical moments and unforgettable experiences that made this Disney Wish cruise a perfect family trip.

• Disney Wish Cruise Ship
• Hyatt Regency at the Orlando Airport
• Comfort Suites Paradise Island / Atlantis day-pass hack!
• Broadway quality shows aboard the Disney Wish
