This week, we’re rejoined on the show by some of our favorite people. They’re huge Disney fans and, recently, they had the opportunity to experience something they’ve never done before; a Disney Cruise. Better yet, it was aboard a ship we haven’t had the chance to sail aboard, yet. So, we thought we’d talk with them all about it as we Search For Disney Treasure with The Cotton Family. Jonathan, Camille & Lorelai discuss their impressions of the ship and share what they took away from their first opportunity to sail with Captains Mickey & Minnie. Find their thoughts and if it will be the first of many trips on the shimmering seas with DCL.
Be sure to check out Camille's Castle Bound and Down Etsy Shop.
