Ep. 620 - From Nervous to All-In: A First Disney Cruise Experience with Nicola from the UK

Nicola joins us from the UK to share her family’s first-ever Disney Cruise Line vacation — and why it ended up being the perfect way to experience Disney for the first time.

Originally planning a trip to Disneyland Paris, Nicola and her family pivoted to Disney Cruise Line and sailed from Southampton aboard the Disney Fantasy. In this episode, she walks us through what made the cruise work so well for their family, from onboard routines and activities to dining, shows, and character experiences.

We discuss:

• Why Disney Cruise Line can be an ideal first cruise

• Embarkation and sailing from Southampton

• Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, character meets, and kids’ activities

• Broadway-style shows and onboard entertainment

• Food, dining, and kid-friendly options

• AquaDuck, Midship Detective Agency, and more

• Why they’re already booked for another Disney cruise
