    EP 27 - Disney Cruise Line Isn’t What You Think (And That’s the Point)

    In this solo episode of Two Grey Mice, Meg takes a real, no-fluff look at Disney Cruise Line—and why so many people misunderstand it.If you’ve ever said “I’m not a cruise person,” thought Disney cruises were only for kids, or assumed they’re wildly overpriced… this episode is for you.Meg breaks down what actually makes Disney Cruise Line different from other cruise lines, from what’s included (and what’s not), to ship sizes, dining, stateroom layouts, adult-only spaces, and the level of service Disney is known for. She walks through the full fleet—from the classic Magic and Wonder to the Dream, Fantasy, and the newer Wish-class ships—and explains who each ship really works best for.This is not a sales pitch. It’s a practical, honest overview designed to help you decide if Disney Cruise Line fits your travel style—whether you’re cruising with kids, as a couple, or as adults who just want great service without a party-ship vibe.🎧 Listen in if you want clarity, fewer assumptions, and a better way to decide if a Disney cruise belongs on your travel list. 027_intro to dcl.mp3

    Episode 28 – Planning Virgin Voyages Alaska Excursions (Without Losing Your Mind)

    In this episode of Two Grey Mice, Meg and Rob dive headfirst into planning their upcoming Virgin Voyages Alaska sailing — and more specifically, how to choose excursions without overbooking, overthinking, or ending up stuck on a bus all day.They walk through each port — Ketchikan, Sitka, Prince Rupert, and cruising the Tracy Arm Fjord — breaking down what’s actually worth doing, what sounds good on paper but might not fit their travel style, and why you don’t want to repeat the same type of excursion in every port.From wildlife cruises and kayaking to small-group tours, walking towns on your own, and leaving room for wandering (and snacks), this episode is all about intentional planning. If Alaska is on your cruise bucket list — especially with Virgin Voyages — this is your behind-the-scenes look at how experienced travelers and a travel advisor make their choices.And yes… they also talk about sea otters, bears, rain, and why “just winging it” isn’t always the move in Alaska.🎧 Listen in if you’re planning an Alaska cruise — or even just thinking about one.You can reach us with your podcast questions or ideas at 2greymice@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram @2greymicepodcast. If you want help planning your next vacation, please reach out to Meg at Meg@megandthemouse.com.

    EP 29 - Disney Cruise Line 2027: Don’t Pull a Meg

    This week it’s a solo episode and we’re talking about two things you should NOT ignore: Disney Cruise Line’s 2027 itineraries and Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras.But first… a little Muppet nostalgia and a personal six-degrees-of-separation story that explains why they still mean so much to me.Then we get into it. Disney Cruise Line just dropped Summer 2027, and if you’re thinking, “That’s too far away” it really isn't. I break down why cruise pricing rewards early planners, what ships are moving where, why the Disney Wish heading to Europe is a big deal, and how repositioning cruises (including transatlantic sailings) can be sleeper deals.We also talk Alaska.  Why summer is the only real time to go, what makes it so special, and why cruise lines are doubling down there.Then we head to Universal Orlando for Mardi Gras, the food booths, the concerts, the bead-throwing parade, the float & dine option, and how to actually save money while you’re there (yes, including the gift card hack).If you’re a “I’ll book it later” kind of traveler this episode is your loving nudge not to pull a Meg.Plan early. Save money. Get the better stateroom. Catch the beads. And maybe even bring the Muppets back.
