Can you really do a Disney Cruise without kids—and actually enjoy it? In this episode of Talk Travel to Me, host Kristy Ouellette is joined by fellow Mickey Guru travel advisors Shalon and Sammie to discuss their upcoming New Year’s Eve sailing on the brand-new Disney Destiny.

The group is headed out to sea for a 5-night "Heroes and Villains" themed itinerary featuring two days at sea and stops at both Disney Castaway Cay and the new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. From "trauma bonding" for the husbands to high-end dining at Palo, the trio breaks down why a Disney ship is the ultimate sophisticated destination for adult couples.


What We Cover in This Episode:

  • The "Why": Why three professional travel advisor couples chose the Disney Destiny over a traditional land resort for NYE.
  • Adult-Exclusive Luxury: Why the Palo dining experience and specialty coffee bars are a must for any kid-free sailing.
  • The Hero Zone Challenge: Why we’re most excited (and nervous) for the massive inflatable obstacle course.
  • Double Island Days: Strategizing for the New Year’s Day 5K and the adult-exclusive beaches at Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay.
  • Husband Trauma Bonding: A hilarious look at what happens when three husbands of travel agents get together at sea.
  • The Ultimate Countdown: Celebrating New Year’s Eve with fireworks at sea and the "safely toasted by the muster drill" philosophy.
