She Did Alaska Right: Emily Sails Disney to Alaska

In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by Disney content creator and travel advisor Emily Carlson of We Do Disney Right, fresh off her first sailing to Alaska aboard the Disney Wonder. Emily is now a proud member of the Grand Slam Club, having sailed all six current Disney Cruise Line ships, and she’s sharing all the highlights from this unforgettable adventure to the Last Frontier.

Hosted by Disney Cruise Line for this sailing, Emily takes us through what it’s like to visit Alaska with your whole family—without doing any of the planning yourself. From Glacier Day character lines (including Alaska Donald) to exclusive port excursions like the Lumberjack Show and an unexpected gondola ride, Emily shares a detailed look at DCL’s Alaska itinerary.

We also cover:

• Must-do Alaska excursions vs. what to skip

• Why layering for weather (and snacks) matters

• How the Wonder became Emily’s surprise second-favorite DCL ship

• Whether Disney’s higher Alaska price tag is worth it

• Character strategy, kid-friendliness, and best photo ops

• What makes a Disney Alaska cruise unique from other lines

Plus, we speculate on the future of the Wonder and Magic, Disney’s new “small ship” class, and what we’d love to see in a Muppet-themed venue at sea.
