I absolutely love the DCL Dude Podcast! I listened religiously before our very first Disney Cruise Line sailing in May 2024, and the advice, insights, and ship overviews helped me feel totally prepared.
Now that we've officially crossed over into Gold membership, I still tune in regularly to stay updated on new ships, itinerary changes, and tips for making the most of each cruise. The content is always thoughtful and helpful—my only complaint is that I wish there were more episodes! Every time ... more
I am going on my first Disney Cruise in January 2025 on the Wish. I found this podcast and it has so many wonderful topics and tips. Wes thanks for sharing all of your knowledge ❤️
Wes has an infectious spirit and joy that weaves through each episode. His smile can be heard as he recounts family trips on DCL and reacts to his unique guests tales their DCL vacations. His episodes are very informative for first time cruises while still being entertaining for those of us seasoned cruises who just love to revisit the DCL magic.
Wes keeps it fun and light hearted while being honest about all the topics. By far the best podcast to get all DCL news, updates, and hacks!
The DCL Dude Podcast is by far the best Disney Cruise line informational podcast I’ve come across. After listening to one episode a few years back, I decided to book my first cruise on DCL with Wes. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the process, but he makes suggestions that will get the most out of your Disney vacation. We are now on our fourth sailing and are coordinating our fifth. Thanks again Wes for everything you do.
