September 07, 2022 Series 2 Special Episode: Disney Wish
Ahoy there, sailors! Giovanna Fletcher is back for a very special episode recorded on our newest cruise ship – the Disney Wish. She even took her husband, Tom Fletcher, and sister-in-law, Carrie Hope Fletcher, along for the ride!

Now as you all know, the Fletchers are huge Disney fans, but they’ve never been on a cruise, let alone a Disney Cruise! So tune in and you’ll hear all about how they made magical memories at sea for the first time. How lucky are they that it was all on board the Disney Wish!

As this is a very special episode, we thought you’d love to see the magic as well as hear about it, therefore we’ve filmed it too. So prepare to catch Tom and Gi longing to be young enough to play in the youth spaces at Disney’s Oceaneer Club, enjoying our private island in the Bahamas, Disney Castaway Cay, and running our famous 5K. You’ll even witness the wonder of them being two of the first people to ride AquaMouse – our first attraction at sea.

Make sure you stay tuned in until the very end for the ultimate Lightning McQueen quick-fire round with our resident Disney expert, Elkie, and the chance to win your very own dream Disney Cruise Line holiday.

June 08, 2022 Series 2 Episode 4: Alesha Dixon
She knows how to sing, she knows how to dance and she knows when something has talent, so when Alesha Dixon says she loves the shows and parades at the Disney® Parks, they must be good. But which ones are her favourites? For Alesha, the faster the rollercoaster the better. She’s tried many during her trips to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland® Paris and Disneyland Resort in California. Yet she’s still to fly a banshee in Avatar Flight of Passage, despite Avatar being her favourite film. Come on Alesha, sort it out!

Actor and singer Stephanie Beatriz’s dream job came true when she was asked to voice Mirabel for Disney’s Encanto. Yes, we have Mirabel on the podcast!
A fan of the magic since the golden age of Disney animation, Stephanie has set foot in Disneyland Resort in California, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disney Resort – and has a plethora of Disney ornaments to prove it.

May 25, 2022 Series 2 Episode 2: Janette Manrara
Professional dancer, choreographer and TV presenter Janette Manrara is a mahoosive Disney fan. Yep, even bigger than Tom Fletcher! How can this be? Well, Janette grew up a mere 253 miles (ish) from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida (lucky!) and thinks she’s been there a whopping 42 times. This also means she really knows her magic. So much so, she once whizzed her husband around all four Theme Parks and both Water Parks in just three days – without a map. So prepare for a true Disney superfan’s insight into the magic and what is probably this podcast’s most ambitious and in-depth Dream Disney Day yet.

May 17, 2022 Series 2 Episode 1: Vogue Williams
Giovanna kicks off series two chatting magic with television presenter, podcaster, Disney thrill-seeker, and planning and packing expert Vogue Williams.

Vogue grew up totally obsessed with Beauty and the Beast. So much so, she ended up marrying a real-life Gaston (sorry, Spencer, Vogue’s words, not ours!). Their first ‘holidate’ was to Disneyland® Paris. And they can’t wait to go back this year for the 30th Anniversary, as many goes as possible on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™, and the look on their kids’ faces when they first set eyes on Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Make sure you’re all ears, because Vogue has a genius tip for long flights with little ones.

Since that unforgettable day on stage during Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, Aston has been back many times – especially at Halloween and to eat as many turkey legs as possible.
Yet despite his many visits, Aston hasn’t had the chance to take his two little boys to any of the Disney® Parks. So to help make sure their first Disney adventure goes as smoothly as one of Aston’s dance moves, resident Disney expert Elkie has some top tips for trips with young children.
