Addicted to the Mouse: Disney Podcast | Disney World, Universal, & Cruise Vacation Planning

Dan and Leslie Lowry

Details

Dan and Leslie from Addicted to the Mouse are parents of two boys who have fallen in love with Walt Disney World so much that they moved their family to Orlando to be close to the magic! They often hear friends and family say that Disney is only for kids, but couldn’t disagree more. The couple hopes to guide families on ways to experience and enjoy Disney destinations either with or without kids. Disney can be amazing as a couples only destination as well! Join Dan and Leslie as they take you through the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Disney Springs, Disneyland, Aulani, Disney Cruise Line, and all of the Disney resort hotels. Join them at Addicted to the Mouse for more travel planning advice to some of their other favorite destinations, including Universal Studios and International travel. Let’s Connect!

DCL vs The World: Why Choose Walt Disney World over a Disney Cruise
On today’s Disney Podcast, we are comparing a 4-night Disney Cruise to a 4-night Disney World vacation to see which one you should choose for your next trip to see the Mouse. This episode is Part 2, where we take the perspective of why a Disney World vacation is the better choice in terms of attractions, entertainment, autonomy over schedule, options and more. On our last episode, we argued the opposite perspective of why a Disney Cruise is, in fact, the better choice in this debate. This was a fun one to record. Enjoy!
