Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences

Hello Reader,

First, I owe you a huge apology for going a little quiet here (my Catholic Italian guilt is off the charts!). The lead-up to D23 was insanely (yet wonderfully) busy, and I’m still playing catch-up in many ways, but I promise I’ll be getting back to more regular updates soon because I have a LOT I’ve been wanting to share with you!

But first... this.

Some of my favorite WDW Radio memories over the years haven’t happened in the parks at all. They’ve happened at sea, traveling together, sharing meals, exploring new places, laughing way too much, and watching people who may have started the trip as strangers leave as friends.

And now, we get to do it again. Actually... we get to do it twice.

I’m incredibly excited to announce not one, but TWO new WDW Radio Group Cruises aboard Disney Cruise Line, and while they are very different in terms of ports and destinations, they both share what we love so much about a Disney Cruise Line experience (and no, I don't just mean the the service, entertainment, experiences, and chicken tenders... but they're all part of it)!

🗽 The first is October 3-8, 2027, when we’ll sail from New York City aboard the Disney Wish for five nights through Canada and New England, including Boston and Saint John. It’s also a Halloween on the High Seas sailing, so we get fall in the Northeast, a beautiful ship, a New York bagel (and a knish, and a hot dog, and...) a little spooky Disney fun, and, most importantly, the chance to experience all of it together.

Then we’re heading to the other coast.

🌴 From February 7-11, 2028, we’ll sail from San Diego aboard the Disney Wonder for a four-night Baja cruise to Ensenada with two days at sea. And this one is especially meaningful to me because we’ll actually be sailing together during WDW Radio’s anniversary, which feels like a pretty perfect excuse to celebrate at sea. I've never cruised from this port or to this destination (although I love San Diego - the weather is perfect... all... the... time!).

And something tells me I may already be thinking about a few surprises. 😉

But here’s the part that matters most to me...

You can take a Disney cruise anytime. What makes these trips special isn’t simply the ship, itinerary, food (well, maybe it's kinda the food, too), or destinations, although all of those are pretty amazing... It’s the people.

It’s spending time together on board and ashore with your WDW Radio family. It’s the conversations over dinner, running into each other around the ship, exploring a port together, special WDW Radio activities, surprises, giveaways, and those spontaneous moments that could never appear on an itinerary.

It’s not just a cruise. It’s our cruise.

And whether you come by yourself, with someone you love, with friends, or with your family, you are welcome. Not only do you have a friend in me, but I promise that you will meet and make new friends that will last a lifetime! There is also no additional fee to be part of the WDW Radio group when you book through our friends at Mouse Fan Travel!

I put all of the details about both sailings here:

And if you’re even thinking about joining us, there’s a simple form at the bottom of the page where Mouse Fan Travel can send you a FREE, no-obligation quote! You can ask about Canada and New England, Baja... or, as I may strongly encourage, both. 😉 And remember... the earlier you book, the better the price!

I would genuinely love to have you there (OMG just think of the food!)! Some of the places we visit may be new, and the ships and itineraries may change, but the thing I value most about these adventures never does: getting to experience them with you!

🏔️ And one more thing before I go, because you don’t have to wait until Fall 2027 or early 2028’s new sailings to join us. We still have room on our 7-night WDW Radio Alaska Cruise aboard the Disney Wonder, May 10-17, 2027, sailing from Vancouver through some of the most incredible scenery and destinations in Alaska. It's my favorite ship from one of my favorite ports to my absolute favorite itinerary!

If Alaska has been on your bucket list, I would LOVE to have you join us for that adventure, too. You can see all of the details and request a free, no-obligation quote at WDWRadio.com/Alaska2027​

If you have any questions, just reply to this email. I answer every email personally, and want to help you any way I can!

So now I really have to ask... which one are we sailing on together?

💙 Choose the good,

- Lou Mongello
