On today's Disney Podcast, we are comparing a 4-night Disney Cruise to a 4-night Disney World vacation to see which one you should choose for your next trip to see the Mouse. This episode is Part 2, where we take the perspective of why a Disney World vacation is the better choice in terms of attractions, entertainment, autonomy over schedule, options and more. On our last episode, we argued the opposite perspective of why a Disney Cruise is, in fact, the better choice in this debate. This was a fun one to record. Enjoy!

Wondering whether Disney Cruise Line concierge level is worth the cost? This year, I sailed in an interior stateroom on the Disney Fantasy and a one-bedroom concierge suite on the Disney Wish, and in this episode I break down exactly what concierge includes, how the experience differs between ships, and who should actually book it. I cover everything that comes with concierge: the private lounge, priority boarding and debarkation, character meet-and-greets without the lines, hot breakfast room service, complimentary wifi, and the dedicated concierge host team that handles things for you throughout the sailing. I also compare the concierge lounge on the Wish versus the Fantasy because they are genuinely different experiences, and that matters when you are deciding what to book. I also give you my honest take on whether concierge is worth it, including why I loved it but wouldn't book it for my own family right now.

The Disney Destiny feels different. After five days onboard, we're asking whether its character-driven experiences are the future of Disney cruising—and why its best moments left us wanting even more. We compare our Destiny and Disney Wish experiences, share what made De Vil's, the storytellers and Hercules stand out, and get into the scheduling frustrations and Worlds of Marvel disappointment that kept the trip from feeling perfect. Plus: could Disney bring more of this interactive storytelling into the parks? Would you rather sail for the ship or the destinations? Join the conversation on Instagram at @EnchantedEarsPodcast.

Melissa flew all the way from Ireland for a late-season, adults-only sailing to Alaska on the Disney Wonder — six DCL sailings and nineteen cruises deep, and this one still delivered bears, whales, dueling pianos, and one gut-punch moment from home she wasn't expecting. In this episode: Why a late-September Alaska sailing means an almost entirely adult ship — and everything that changes onboard Chasing bears in Ketchikan and sled puppies at a Juneau dog camp she almost didn't book Real vegan dining tips across the fleet, from crew curries to a Palo brunch workaround The Shutters photo-package trick that can save your travel companions money A Vancouver hotel booking gone sideways, and the lesson in it for third-party bookings A moving, unscripted moment about staying connected to loved ones back home while at sea She's not a DVC member. She doesn't even really know what DVC is, but we always joke she'd be able to talk herself out of Alcatraz... she was sitting there, she already had a drink.

Join us this week as Mellissa and Jayson give us an incredible account of their Alaskan Disney Cruise.  They were out at sea for a week and did so much on and off the ship.  Hear about all the animals they saw and all the adventures they went on.  From calving glaciers to panning for gold and all the Disney creativeness in-between.  This was a really fun adventure, and they learned so much to share with us.  Thanks for Listening!

In deze aflevering hebben we weer een bonte verzamling aan Disney nieuws voor je, maar we staan wat langer stil bij de toekomst van Disney Village. Er is kritiek op de nieuwe Disney Wonders winkel, hoe gaat de transformatie verder aan de zuidzijde? We doen een poging de de Jorn+ schoenen te vullen van de man wiens naam aan deze rubriek gegeven is, maar zelf ronddobbert op de Disney Dream! Tot slot pakken een mysterieuze doos uit, met de inhoud voor een van de komende 'D-Tales Slow TV' afleveringen en blikken we vooruit op de aanstaande lancering van D-Tales Radio. D-Tales steunen?

Last time, Disney Cruise Line gave us the ideas. This time, we're taking over. In Part 2 of our discussion about the future of themed Disney cruises, Kevin, Danny, Eli, and Rachel put on their Armchair Imagineering hats and pitch the specialty sailings THEY would create for Disney Cruise Line. And nobody knew what anyone else was bringing to the table. Rachel comes prepared with two very different possibilities: a Taylor Swift-inspired sailing packed with music, themed nights, and plenty of opportunities for Swifties to spend money—and "C23," essentially D23 at Sea, complete with Imagineers, Disney history, archival material, models, panels, and plenty of exclusive merchandise. Then things get nostalgic. Danny transforms an entire Disney cruise ship into a celebration of extinct Disney attractions, reimagining everything from the atrium and restaurants to onboard entertainment with tributes to Horizons, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Kitchen Kabaret, Spirit of Aloha, and other pieces of Disney history. Eli takes a trip into another dimension with a Twilight Zone-inspired voyage filled with lost Disney objects, retired attractions, classic animatronics, and some wonderfully strange possibilities. Finally, Kevin pitches Adventures on the High Seas—a four-night sailing where every day becomes a completely different Disney adventure. Guests receive an Adventure Passport and become part of the story through family challenges, entertainment, activities, and experiences that can change from year to year. Four hosts. Several very different cruise concepts. One imaginary unlimited Disney budget. Which one would YOU book? It's time for our ideas to set sail.

Then, we hear about her family's first Disney Cruise on the Disney Fantasy! We talk about embarkation, dining, the kids' clubs, shows, a fun trivia win, and much, much more!

Plus, Disney gives us a TEN HOUR video of Zootopia 2, one party left for Halloween, and the quiet demise of the Play Disney Parks app. , Finally, lamenting that Disney is trying way too hard when it comes to The Muppet Show, and so we decide to fix it, giving plenty of host ideas.  Episode Rundown Disney Cruise Plans & upcoming The House of Mouse:   Jenn's upcoming Disney Cruise booking on her favorite ship, the Disney Fantasy and Dave's excitement for the upcoming book The House of Mouse: Bob Iger and the War of Succession at Disney by Robbie Whelan, comparing it to the classic DisneyWar and discussing the modern corporate transition era between Bob Iger and Bob Chapek.

Mike, Pam, and Rikki are here today answering your awesome Listener Questions! Today we discuss combining Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party with a quick 3-night Disney Cruise!

Disney Cruise Line may be looking beyond the traditional Disney cruise. A recent Disney Cruise Line survey asked guests to rate several potential themed sailings, including a music festival at sea, an ESPN fantasy sports cruise, a special Castaway Club sailing, and even a cruise built around Disney pin trading. So naturally, we put the ideas to the MOW crew. Which ones would we actually book? Which could Rachel realistically sell? And which ideas should probably stay on the survey? Then things take a very different turn. As Disney and WWE continue expanding their relationship, reports suggest that some type of WWE experience aboard Disney Cruise Line could potentially make sense down the road. With Eli and Danny at the table, you know we weren't going to simply mention that idea and move on. What would WWE at sea actually look like? Live wrestling? Legends and current stars? Meet-and-greets? Exclusive merchandise? Themed bars and drinks? And perhaps most importantly: would wrestling fans actually pay Disney Cruise Line prices for it? This conversation went exactly where you would expect a Magic Our Way conversation to go—which is also why our original plan became a two-part show. In Part 2, we stop evaluating Disney's ideas and start pitching our own. What themed cruise would get YOU aboard a Disney ship?

Disney trips are supposed to be about being in the moment. So why does it feel like we spend half the day staring at our phones?That's the problem behind a project Tim has been quietly working on: a new Disneyland app designed to actually help you use your phone less.In this episode, we finally talk about the app, how it can suggest what to do next based on your family, location, preferences and current wait times, plus ride alerts, lock-screen wait times, food planning and more. The goal is simple: less scrolling, less bouncing around the park, and more time actually enjoying Disneyland.Of course, this episode also completely goes off the rails.We talk about the end of the Play Disney Parks app, possible app names, rides that constantly break down, how Disney trips change when you become a parent, and somehow end up debating whether we should book flights to Florida and finally take a Disney Cruise.So yes, we built an app to get off our phones. And then talked about it for an hour.Shop Main St. Dreamers:https://mainstdreamers.com

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of World of Wishes, we are honored to welcome Raymond Rodriguez Torres, wish dad, cancer research leader, and Co-Founder and Chairman of Live Like Bella—one of the most impactful pediatric cancer support organizations in the world. Raymond shares the story of his daughter Bella, a Make-A-Wish kid whose life was marked by extraordinary courage, faith, and joy in the face of overwhelming adversity. After early developmental challenges, Bella was diagnosed at just four years old with aggressive rhabdomyosarcoma, cancer that had spread throughout her body and left her suddenly paralyzed. Doctors told Raymond and his family that Bella would never walk again—and that her prognosis was only weeks to months. What followed defied every expectation. Bella fought for six years, regained the ability to walk, run, and jump, and lived with a joy and selflessness far beyond her years. Even as she endured surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, Bella focused on helping others - especially the children she met along the way in the hospital. During her journey, Make-A-Wish granted Bella's wish: a Disney Cruise, where moments of childlike wonder, compassion, and spiritual grace left an indelible impact on their family. From private character experiences to an unforgettable moment of Disney cast members praying together for Bella before her celebration, the wish became a source of joy, strength, and renewal during the darkest days of her battle. After Bella's passing, the words “Live Like Bella” sparked a movement that would reach far beyond one family's grief. Today, Live Like Bella (livelikebella.org) has funded more than $45 million in pediatric cancer research, supports families in 38 countries, provides direct treatment and financial assistance, and ensures dignity for families even in their most painful moments. This conversation is about legacy, faith, service, and the healing power of a wish. It is a reminder that some lives - no matter how short - can change the world forever.Learn more about how can get involved at https://wish.org/sflaBe sure to follow us @makeawishsfla on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and LinkedIn!Subscribe, Rate, & Review this podcast to support future episodes that will feature wish kids and parents' past and present, volunteers, donors, referral sources and everyone who contributes to this World of Wishes!

Join us as Gary and Matt Fernando share all about a very special family vacation aboard the Disney Destiny. This four-night sailing out of Fort Lauderdale marked the first time Gary, Matt, and their parents had all cruised together, and there was plenty to celebrate. Gary, Matt, and their dad were each celebrating milestone birthdays of 40, 45, and 75. Their wives joined them for the trip, along with Matt's young daughter, making this a true family celebration. This was also Matt's first Disney Cruise, and he shares his impressions of the Destiny and the experience of cruising with Disney for the first time. Before the ship even set sail, the family took advantage of the open house at the kids clubs, which gives parents and families a chance to explore the spaces together. Matt was so impressed with the clubs that he jokes he was the one who did not want to leave. Gary and Matt talk about the many activities available onboard and how they spent their time during the four-night cruise. Gary had purchased a spa package that included access to the Rainforest Room, while Matt found plenty to explore throughout the ship. They also discuss the pirates and villains theming found throughout the Destiny and some of the details that make the ship unique. Of course, food is always an important part of a Disney Cruise, and Gary and Matt share their experiences with the restaurants, room service, drinks, and other dining options onboard. One particular favorite was the Mickey Churro Waffles at breakfast, which earned enthusiastic reviews from both of them. When the ship arrived in Nassau, Gary and his wife headed to Blue Lagoon Island for a dolphin encounter experience. Gary shares what the excursion was like and some of the highlights from their day. Later in the episode, Gary and Matt also talk about their visit to Castaway Cay and how each of them chose to spend their time on Disney's private island. There was also an important mission aboard the Destiny. Gary and Matt were second in line when the ship's stores opened, determined to track down the elusive Evie the Towel Animal Plush. Despite their excellent position in line and their best efforts, Evie did not make the trip home with them. Matt also talks about the value of purchasing the onboard photo package and highly recommends it for families who want to make sure those special moments from their cruise are captured. Whether you have already sailed with Disney or are thinking about taking your first Disney Cruise, Gary and Matt pack this episode with stories, experiences, and plenty of useful information from their family celebration aboard the Disney Destiny.

132 itineraries dropped this morning, and by the end of the night three of us had agreed on which ones we would not book. Travel advisor Jamie from We Do Travel Right joined Sam and Brian live for a ship-by-ship walk through the entire Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 release — the Disney Wish's return to New York, the Disney Destiny's move to Port Canaveral, two Panama Canal crossings with brand-new ports, and the full Castaway Club booking ladder.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 261: The Things Disney Doesn't Teach You in TraditionsThere's plenty Disney teaches you when you become a Cast Member: traditions, training, safety, courtesy, show and efficiency. But then there are all the things you only learn once you're actually there.This week on The Mickeyphile Podcast, Scott and Karen go behind the scenes at Walt Disney World to talk about the Cast Member experience — not to give away the magic, but to look at the culture, routines and everyday realities that aren't necessarily covered in Traditions.What is Traditions actually like? What happens after that first big “Welcome to Disney” moment? Scott compares his experiences starting with Disney Transportation and later moving into Attractions, including park orientation, training, learning backstage areas, finding break rooms, navigating Magic Kingdom costuming, getting around without ever entering guest areas, and all the little things you eventually learn simply by being a Cast Member.And yes, we get into the famous Disney two-finger point. Is that actually something Cast Members are formally taught?Before we head backstage, there's plenty of Disney news to cover:• The Diamond Horseshoe at Magic Kingdom is getting a limited-time food and drink pop-up, including some surprisingly interesting additions to the menu.• Disney Cruise Line has revealed plans for three new ships to launch during 2029, with another ship now scheduled farther into the future. We also talk about the upcoming Disney Believe and somehow end up ranking some of our favorite Disney Cruise Line stage shows.• Walt Disney World Annual Passholders are getting new Muppets-themed offerings at Disney's Hollywood Studios, including a Kermit the Frog magnet, a Disney PhotoPass Magic Shot and a specialty milkshake.• Hallmark is heading to Walt Disney World for Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, a new original holiday movie starring Lacey Chabert.• D23 is coming up with Disney Parks presentations, films, television, Disney Legends, Alan Menken, Marvel, Lucasfilm and more. But will we finally learn something substantial about the future of Walt Disney World — especially Villains Land?• Disney Vacation Club news includes an upcoming Kidani Village lobby refurbishment and new details about Disney Lakeshore Lodge, including its Pocahontas-inspired lobby, private lounge and new dining locations.Plus, we talk about Central Florida's relentless summer weather, what happens when lightning shuts down outdoor attractions, and how quickly a Walt Disney World attraction can go from closed to an 85-minute wait.It's Disney news, Cast Member stories and a look at the parts of working at Walt Disney World that you don't really understand until you're actually there.

Darius Slayton thinks he got the “Tom Coughlin-esque” coach he was looking for in John Harbaugh. Willie speaks to the importance of leadership and how players can sense a difference when it's real and strong vs weak. On a fun note, Willie is a fan of Disney Cruises and recently shot a commercial for them after they heard about his experiences. Disney made Willie a cruise guy.

All the essentials are included in the cost of your Disney cruise - food, soft drinks, coffee, and entertainment to name a few. But because Disney Cruise Line is so generous, they give you plenty of extra opportunities to spend your money. In this week's episode, I'm ranking 25 ways you can spend your money on a Disney cruise. Hope you enjoy!

We're answering another fantastic batch of questions from the Main Street Magic Community, covering everything from Disney dining and EPCOT festivals to blue-sky Imagineering ideas and even one very unexpected bird discussion. We kick things off by talking about one of our favorite Disney treats and whether Animal Kingdom's famous Anandapur Ice Cream Truck has any worthy rivals across Walt Disney World. Then we revisit one of Disney's most debated vacation planning topics—the Disney Dining Plan—and discuss whether it's still worth purchasing. We also answer the impossible question of which single Disney park we'd choose to podcast about forever and dream up our own perfect EPCOT festival, complete with food booths, entertainment, and a scavenger hunt. From there, we share ideas for keeping the magic alive after multiple Disney vacations, react to a creative concept for indoor “Minni Disney” destinations around the country, and imagine how we'd completely redesign some of Disney's most disappointing quick-service and table-service restaurants. We also compare Disney's attraction technology with what Universal has accomplished at Epic Universe, debate which after-hours or holiday party offers the best value today, and help a family visiting Walt Disney World for just one day decide which park should make that unforgettable first impression before setting sail on a Disney Cruise. Whether you're planning your next vacation, looking for fresh Disney ideas, or just enjoy hearing us tackle fun “what if” scenarios, this episode is packed with laughs, opinions, and plenty of Disney magic.

Is it worth it? That's the question the Mouse Chat crew tackles this week as Steve, Lisa, and Debbie go around the table and put Disney World's most debated add-ons on trial. From Lightning Lanes and the Dining Plan to dessert parties, park hoppers, Disney Cruise concierge, pin trading, and popcorn buckets — we call out what's a total skip and what's absolutely worth every penny. Expect some hot takes, a few friendly arguments, and a whole lot of real-world advice from travel agents who book Disney every single day. Grab a Mickey bar and settle in — this is a fun one.

He crossed the finish line of a 100-mile ultramarathon in the Florida Keys, showered on the beach, and drove straight to Fort Lauderdale to board the brand-new Disney Destiny the next morning. Nine-time DCL sailor Josh joins us to break down how he pairs grueling endurance races with Disney cruises — and what boarding a ship on legs that just ran four marathons back to back actually feels like. In this episode: How Josh turned Disney cruising from post-race recovery into a full-blown tradition across nine sailings The wild 24 hours between crossing the finish line at Keys 100 and boarding at Port Everglades Why trip insurance won't cover an ultramarathon-plus-cruise combo, and what that risk actually looks like His honest take on the Destiny's dining, entertainment, and Wish-class layout, including one hot take about Lookout Cay vs. Castaway Cay The one piece of advice he gives every Disney cruiser: be fluid, not over-scheduled What's next for his race-and-sail tradition "There is no moment like when they finally check your last passport, your last little thing, and you're like, OK, we're here."

Mike, Pam, and Rikki are back today to continue the discussion that Mike started on Monday's show about how he tends to get a bit more excited for a Disney Cruise when he has one officially on the books! However, he wanted to see what Pam and Rikki thought of this. We have a fun discussion around this topic and how we get excited for and if each Disney destination can feel "different" to us from time-to-time. Is this true for you?

We called an audible today as a guest couldn't make the podcast at the last-minute, so Mike had a thought that has been running through his head over the last week. He thinks that there slightly more intensity for the anticipation of a Disney Cruise than other types of Disney trips. (This is just his opinion at the moment!) He also gives reasons as to why some might feel this way, and wonders if you have ever felt the same? Maybe you are the exact opposite of this? We would love to hear what YOU think of this topic!
