## Resource

For her 50th birthday, Amy — a longtime Disney fan and a part-time Disney travel agent — finally got her reluctant-cruiser husband Dan on an adults-only Disney cruise: four nights on the brand-new Disney Destiny, with no kids on board for the first time in their cruising history. She stacked the itinerary with drink tastings, adult dining, and enough Marvel and Star Wars theming to make her case — and by the end of the trip, Dan was ready to admit it worked. In this episode: Why Amy picked the Destiny to finally win Dan over, and why a four-night, two-island sailing was the right call Their honest take on Palo brunch availability, Enchante lunch, and juggling show times on a packed sailing Lookout Cay vs. Castaway Cay from a first-timer's perspective, including a surprising food discovery at each island The drink tasting that turned into a hands-on mixology lesson and became the trip's unexpected highlight Their honest verdict on Hercules, technical hiccups and all What finally convinced Dan to book his own 50th birthday cruise Connect with Amy — Disney Travel Agent:Amy is a part-time Disney travel agent with MickeyTravels.
