DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast

This week we're talking to Rani and Robin, two experienced DCL cruise-specific Facebook group moderators, about how to get the most out of your pre-sailing Facebook group, and participating in Fish Extenders.  DCL is fairly unique in having pre-sailing Facebook groups, so they can be a little daunting at times.  And Fish Extenders are unique to Disney Cruising.  Rani and Robin have been moderating groups and organizing Fish Extender gift exchanges for years.  Come listen in as we talk with them this week.

We are so excited to have the co-hosts of the DCL Podcast, Steve, Chris and Christy, on this week's edition of the DCLDuo.  We spent some time chatting about the future of Disney and DCL post COVID-19, but also looking ahead to better times with the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World approaching, and the inaugural sailing of the Disney Wish quickly approaching.  We had so much fun chatting with some of our favorite folks, from one of our favorite podcasts!
