## Resource

After 21 Disney cruises, Kelly came home from the Disney Wonder calling her Alaska sailing a contender for her favorite ever. She is back on the show to break down what a Disney Cruise Line trip to Alaska is really like with an 18-person group: three glaciers in one week, a ship that felt surprisingly empty in peak June, and the excursion strategy that kept everyone together. In this episode: The Castaway Club booking trick for getting a large group onto the same Alaska excursion Three glaciers, three ways: the Glacier Explorer, the Skagway hiker's-train hike, and a Mendenhall canoe-and-hike adventure Real excursion pricing, from a 106-dollar train hike to a 358-dollar canoe day to roughly 900 dollars for helicopter dog-sledding Why the Disney Wonder felt nearly empty in mid-June, and what that meant on board How Disney Cruise Line handled a wheat allergy for a graduating senior, down to a from-scratch chocolate lava cake Who an Alaska sailing is genuinely for, and who should book a warm-weather cruise instead "I love this cruise. I think this might be my favorite Disney cruise I've been on and I've been on a lot of good ones, but we just had such a good time." — Kelly Book with our guest:Kelly is a Disney travel advisor with Platinum Mouse: Book with KellyTravel blog: Afterall TravelOr follow along with her great tips on her DCL 101 socials on Instagram and TikTok Support the Show: Subscribe to the DCL Magazine today — use promo code DCLDUO for 10% off.
