DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast

This week we're chatting with Lynn, all about her fabulous 11-Night Mediterranean Disney Cruise Line adventured aboard the Disney Dream. We're discussing everything from the stunning ports of call to the challenges of finding gluten-free dining options while abroad. Lynn's unique perspective as a parent traveling with special needs children added an extra layer of depth to our discussion. She offered invaluable strategies for preparing for a long cruise, from creating a reward system to using handheld electronic games. Her honest insights into the challenges and triumphs of international travel with special needs kids are as heartwarming as they are informative. If you're thinking about sailing DCL to the Mediterranean, you won't want to miss this episode!
