Ep. 598 - First-Time Disney Cruiser in Europe: Alaina’s Family Sails the Disney Fantasy

11/22/2025
This week, we’re welcoming first-time cruiser Alaina to the show to share her family’s maiden voyage on Disney Cruise Line — a five-night sailing on the Disney Fantasy out of Southampton with ports in La Coruña and Bilbao. Alaina and her husband are lifelong Disney Parks fans, and with three kids in tow (including eight-year-old twin planners-in-training), they decided to take their love of Disney across the pond for their very first DCL experience. From carefully structured travel using airline miles to a pre-cruise stay in London and even a surprise Paddington Experience for her son, this trip was full of thoughtful planning and family magic. On board the Fantasy, Alaina and her family explored the ship top to bottom, enjoyed the youth clubs, midship detective agency, karaoke, and the shows in the Walt Disney Theatre. Her son Pierce makes a guest appearance to share his favorite moments, including the AquaDuck, Jack-Jack’s Diaper Dash, and his mission to save his spending money for a Nintendo Switch 2. We also cover: • How Alaina planned this trip using miles through her business, Molars and Miles • What surprised her most about ports in Spain • Tips for navigating European sailings with kids • Dining, stateroom setup for a family of five, and navigating late dining • Pixie dusting, magnets, WhatsApp groups, and more If you’re planning a first-time Disney Cruise Line sailing — especially in Europe — this is a perfect episode to help you prepare.

This week, we’re joined by Dallas and Taylor to chat about their magical Disney Land & Sea adventure — a stay at Walt Disney World followed by a cruise aboard the Disney Magic featuring a stop at Disney Cruise Line’s newest private destination, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Dallas and Taylor share how this adults-only sailing came together as a ten-year anniversary trip, why they loved their inside stateroom, and how they won big at Disney Bingo—three rounds and $687 richer! They also talk about Palo brunch vs. dinner, their first impressions of Lookout Cay’s beaches and dining, and what it’s like balancing kid-free and family Disney trips.
