Episode 54: Yeah, Baby, Let's Cruise...

We give you the full rundown of the Disney Cruise experience and share why Disney is considered a "high end" cruise line. We also go over what's included/not included during your travels on the seven seas. On top of all that, we compare pricing for a trip in the Disney Parks vs a Disney Cruise.
