If you’ve ever been curious about Disney Cruise Line…this one will answer all of your questions, while helping you determine which cruise is right for you!

Confused on which ship is right for you? If the newer ones are better than the old ones? Or even how to make any major DCL decision because there are so many options?! Well, THIS is the episode for you!

Everyone’s talking about Disney Cruise Line these days, and with good reason. Disney basically doubled their fleet *twice* (huge!!), but really, the experience is QUALITY above all. It provides the relaxing Disney vacation you’re likely craving as a theme park fan, which is why we can’t stop gabbing about it.

SO, this week, we’re helping you choose how long to cruise for, WHERE to cruise to (even which Disney island to choose!) and even playing the most exciting game to highlight the best waterslides, entertainment, dining, characters and adult spaces across the Disney Cruise Line fleet. Enjoy!

We're chit-chatting this week about a BUNCH (life! theme parks! travel!) of stuff and it's so nice to digitally plop down on the couch with y'all and catch up about SO MANY THINGS!

In this episode, we discuss why the closure of Tom Sawyer Island hits so hard (even though it was admittedly never our favorite attraction), chat about the year being half over (!) and what I'm offering as a solution to the chaos that brings, a perfect day I had at Disneyland last week, and even give you a little sneak peek of what's to come on our group trip!

IT’S FINALLY HERE…Ashley Eckstein on Very Amusing!!! Our beloved actress, performer, clothing designer, entrepreneur, professional encourager, and businesswoman is HERE to talk about all things theme parks!!!!!

We’re discussing about everything from learning math through turkey leg margins to a secret theme park lounge I didn’t know about to the UNBELIEVABLE Star Wars moment Ashley witnessed (history in the making!) She even changes my mind about a Disney World restaurant I have been vocal about so…this one is memorable for many, MANY reasons. 

If you like Star Wars, Disney World, hearing legitimate meet-and-greet advice from a celebrity who does it professionally and, well, smiling, you’re gonna love this one!!!

**PARENTAL WARNING**: This episode of Very Amusing discusses *character costumes* (ahem, ahem) so if you are listening with children around, consider skipping ahead about ~10 minutes from the mid-interview ad break! 

Thanks to our special guest….Ashley Eckstein!

Disney Cruise Line's Alaska itineraries are heating up — they're sending TWO Disney cruise ships to Alaska in 2026! — so if you're thinking about sailing to Alaska, whether or not it's with Disney, we're talking about ALL of it.

I sailed from Vancouver all through Alaska this month and I cannot WAIT to tell you all about my bucket list Disney trip!

Tune in for my honest review about our 7-night Disney Cruise sailing, what I thought of all the port adventures and excursions I did in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, what the DEAL is with Glacier Day (!!), and what advice I have about bringing a young child, baby or toddler on a Disney Cruise to Alaska!

Did you know the cool kids who work over at Team Coco are as obsessed with Disney Parks as we are?! Neither did I, until one by one the staffers at Conan O'Brien's podcast company revealed themselves to be MAJOR theme park fanatics (and Very Amusing listeners?!?!) So naturally...we had to get these PROFESSIONAL podcasters and comedians on the mic to talk about all things Disneyland, Indiana Jones, Muppets, Star Wars, and beyond!

Come for the chaos and a moment I will never truly be able to process in my pea-sized brain, stay for the brilliant interview with Team Coco's Maddie Ogden and David Hopping!
