    Ep. 629 - From Buc-ee’s to the Magic: Disney Cruise Line from Galveston with Teens!

    Ryan joins us to share his family’s 5-night sailing aboard the Disney Magic out of Galveston — complete with Thanksgiving in Texas, Buc-ee’s brisket runs, a Progreso cave swim adventure, and Palo brunch that may have outperformed his mom’s chicken parm (sorry, Mom). In this episode we cover: Why Galveston is a fantastic (and often overlooked) Disney Cruise Line departure port Buc-ee’s pilgrimages before and after sailing Cozumel’s Kusa Beach Club experience Progreso ruins + cave tubing adventure (and why it was the highlight) Palo brunch strategy on Day 1 Teen club wins + tween transitions AquaDunk vs AquaMouse debate Zootopia 2 premiere at sea Disney cruise merch magic and the power of the community Ryan’s biggest takeaway? As the kids get older, the cruise evolves with them — more adventurous excursions, more independence… but still plenty of family time. Listen now and join the conversation!

    Ep. 625 - Live Bonus Show - A Once in a Decade DVC Cruise? Everything You Need to Know Before Booking the 2027 Member Cruise

    Disney Vacation Club has officially announced its 2027 Member Cruise, and this sailing is anything but ordinary. In this episode, we break down why this 7-night West Coast itinerary may be one of the most unique DVC cruises ever offered. Departing from San Diego, this special member sailing includes a stop in Catalina Island, an overnight in San Francisco — complete with a sail under the iconic Golden Gate Bridge — and a visit to Ensenada. West Coast departures are rare enough, but an overnight in San Francisco puts this cruise firmly in “bucket list” territory. We’re joined by our good friend Chad Pennycuff from the My DVC Point to unpack: Why this itinerary stands out from past DVC Member Cruises What makes a Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise different from a regular Disney Cruise The special onboard extras and experiences members can expect Smart booking strategies — including whether it makes sense to book on points or cash What DVC members should be thinking about now as they plan for 2027 Whether you’re a longtime DVC member or just curious about how Member Cruises work, this episode will help you decide if this sailing deserves a spot on your Disney bucket list.
