An Alaskan cruise is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for many, especially if you're booking it on Disney Cruise Line. In this show, we are sharing our top tips for experiencing a DCL Alaska sailing, from skipping dinner on port days to the best strategies for meeting the characters!

Decided to splash out and go business class for the first time in my life. My sister's ticket was only a few hundred dollars different so for me to get that upgrade for her was easy. For me it was more but I'll only turn 50 and graduate from law school once. Here's hoping I'll only take the bar...

If we go to Fly Over Canada after our Alaskan Cruise will the port hold our bags until we're done or is there somewhere else easy and cheap to store them? Our flight is at 3 so we don't have a ton of time and don't want to spend $10 a bag x 11 but would love to go.

For those who have been on the Wonder to Alaska, is there a difference between having a room on the port side vs. the starboard side? Is the view better on one or the other? It seems like it shouldn't make a difference since the ship goes up and back from Vancouver, so if you don't like the view...

My two biggest takeaways from Pete & the Dis Unplugged cast since Covid & Chapek. 1. DCL is a better value than WDW. 2. People are choosing Universal over Disney. I haven’t been on a cruise yet, so I can’t speak to the first point, but I would absolutely be willing to try one with my partner or...

Any advice for first timers for Alaska itinerary? Best Staterooms types? Excursions? We are planning a DCL cruise to Alaska for my mothers 60th birthday in 2024 and are looking to start planning now as to be prepared for when fall 2024 for itineraries are announced. Any advice on room type...

We booked 3rd party and I don’t think this one is offered through DCL. Just curious if anyone has done this excursion?

The Final Frontier Twelve years ago, I won the lottery. I don’t generally win lotteries. For one thing, you typically have to buy a ticket to win, and I generally prefer spending my money on actual goods and services rather than flushing it down the toilet, so I don’t usually buy lottery...

I came across this site: https://www.shop49th.com/ where they are showcasing a different set of Alaskan Businesses each month in an effort to give them more exposure and to help support their local economies. Obviously we all have businesses local to us, friends in need, and our own concerns...

On February 23rd, I started gathering prices for DCL Alaska cruises. Once I get significant data, I will post some charts on Tableau, but for now here is a chart that shows prices drops as departure date approaches. Except for May/June 2020, the data is through 3/20/20.

Hello, My Fiance and I got engaged onboard the Disney Wonder in November 2019 on the Panama Canal Cruise! It was the most magical time and a perfect proposal for a Disnerd and Disney Princess like me! Well we have decided that we would love to get married on the Disney Wonder on an Alaskan...

We are so excited to be sailing on the Disney Wonder for our first time! Our family is not new to cruising (or Disney)... but we are so very excited to be cruising to Alaska this summer on the Disney Wonder! We are a family of 4. Myself and DH have been to Alaska twice before. We experienced...

Hello Everyone, We will be going to Alaska in September. I'm undecided on which port excursion to do in Skagway. It will be my DH, a 4 year old and a 10 month old. Both kids are well behaved and travel well. I'm debating on the following: Liarsville Character Exp & Salmon Bake (SW36) - I'm...
