    A Disney fan from across the pond joins the show this week! Sam sits down with Ewan from Essex in the UK to talk about his recent back-to-back sailing on the Disney Magic out of Port Canaveral. From his childhood love of Disney stories to finally sailing Disney Cruise Line, Ewan shares what made this sailing so memorable. In this episode we discuss: • What it’s like sailing back-to-back on Disney Cruise Line • Why the Disney Magic remains a fan favorite ship • Experiencing classic Broadway-style shows like Tangled: The Musical and Twice Charmed • The difference between pandemic-era sailings and today’s Disney Cruise experience • Tips for international travelers sailing Disney Cruise Line As Ewan told us when talking about the entertainment onboard: “I think Magic has absolutely the best show lineup because of Tangled and Twice Charmed. Those are just phenomenal productions.” If you’re considering sailing on the Disney Magic or planning a back-to-back Disney cruise itinerary, this episode is packed with insights and stories from a passionate Disney fan who made the trip from the UK to experience it.
