Ep. 559 Houston, We Have Funnel Vision: Beth's First Cruise on the Disney Magic from Galveston

In this episode, we’re chatting with Beth about her family’s first-ever Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Magic. Beth shares her experience sailing on a 7-night repositioning cruise from Galveston to San Juan, with stops at Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay, and Nassau. Traveling with another family and two young daughters prone to motion sickness, Beth gives us the full scoop on what went well—and what she learned for next time.

We talk about booking excursions as a first-time cruiser, navigating embarkation and debarkation from non-home ports, highlights from the pool deck (including the legendary 11 a.m. soft-serve run), character meets, onboard dining (yes, there were churro waffles), and unexpected favorites like the silent dance party and DCL’s amazing lifeguards.

If you’re new to Disney Cruise Line or just love hearing fresh perspectives, this one’s packed with insight and heart.
