Ep. 671 - Live Bonus Show - Is DCL's Alaska Worth the Cost? One Family's Complete Wonder Review

Rich just got back from a seven-night Disney Wonder Alaska sailing — and he came prepared, with a full slide deck, a family of four platinum-status DCL sailors, and a fresh frame of reference from a previous Antarctica expedition cruise. The result is one of the most practical and specific Alaska trip reports we've had on the show.  In this episode: The honest cost breakdown for Alaska excursions — Rich estimates they ran 30–35% on top of the cruise fare Why Deck 4 (not Deck 10) might be your best friend on Glacier Day — no lines, hot chocolate carts, and easy port-to-starboard access The private fishing charter in Ketchikan through Exclusive Alaska — rockfish, bald eagles, a campfire meal, and fresh-caught halibut shipped home frozen Packing reality check: Rich's family over-packed hard and wishes they'd brought half as much The Broadway Star Series adult-only show: go early — all seats were full 30 minutes before showtime Would Rich do Disney for Alaska again vs. a small ship expedition? His answer might surprise you "I don't know of any other cruise line that does that [Glacier Day] well... kind of bringing out the magic of the day and the wonder of the setting that you're in. They really, really did a great job." — Rich Support the Show:Book your next Disney Cruise Line vacation with My Path Unwinding Travel Subscribe to DCL Magazine and use promo code DCLDUO for 10% off at the WDW Magazine store Rich's Travel Agency — Family Passport AdventuresInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/familypassportadventures/Website: https://www.familypassportadventures.com/ Stay Connected with the DCL Duo:Website | Instagram | Facebook | Facebook Group | Watch on YouTube | Listen on Apple Podcasts We're Ranked as a Top Podcast by Feedspot:Top 30 Disney Cruise Line Podcasts (#1) | Top 20 Cruise Podcasts (#2) | Top Disney Podcasts (#4) | Top 20 Disney Cruise Line Influencers (#12) The views expressed in this podcast are our own and do not reflect the views of the Walt Disney Company, Disney Cruise Line or any other travel provider discussed or mentioned.
