    Ep. 432 - In Defense of the New: Lookout Cay Preview First Impressions

    Brian shares his first impressions of Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point after his three-night preview sailing aboard the Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale. Brian was an invited guest of Disney Cruise Line on this sailing, but remained committed to giving his balanced and thoughtful feedback on the island. Participating in the preview cruise afforded Brian access to Disney PR reps for interviews which he has included portions of in this episode. We'll give a fuller review, as well as Sam and Nathan's full review, after we have a chance to return to Lookout Cay later this week, three times in fact. But, for now, here are some first impressions of DCL's newest private island destination in the Bahamas.

The go to Disney Cruise podcast

Amazing podcast! When we booked our first cruise back in January 2023 for March 2024 I was searching for anything and everything on Disney cruise line. I tried listening to a few different DCL podcasts but none kept my attention quite like DCL duo! The hosts and the guests are entertaining and informative. This podcast is the best way to plan and get you excited for your upcoming cruise.

Great Podcast

We have been going to WDW since 1972 (our honeymoon), but took our first cruise this past January 2024, an 8 day Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy. Not sure why we waited so long, it was fantastic!! I used a a scooter and the Cast Members were so amazing and helpful. We booked our second cruise for December 2024 on the Dream, A Very Merrytime Christmas cruise. Wish I had found your podcast earlier, but so glad I did! I love your descriptions of cruises, your guests are so interesting and give so much good information about the different cruises. Thank you for providing such a positive, upbeat podcast.

Great podcast

I love listening to the duo on my way to work and on the way home from work. They are interesting to listen to and allow me to live vicariously through the recounts of theirs and their guests’ experiences during those times when I can’t afford to go on a Disney cruise. Keep up the great work!
