Creator's Key Takeaways

I just go full fully bonkers off the menu at Paulo. I'm just ordering all sorts of stuff from all over the menu.

Currently, in the number one place is Tiana's on the Wonder. Um I think that restaurant is just the perfect example of what Disney can do.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a short Disney cruise to try it out if you're unsure.
Use the bar at Palo for a casual meal or drink without a full dining reservation.
Consider a Disney cruise if you find park trips stressful but love Disney theming.

From Theme Parks to Cruise Ships: Carlye Wisel Sets Sail on DCL Favorites In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by journalist, theme park expert, and podcast host Carlye Wisel for a lively, laugh-filled chat about her favorite experiences aboard Disney Cruise Line. Known for her deep coverage of Disney parks, Carlye shares how she “accidentally” fell into cruising with Disney and how it has become an exciting new part of her creative journey. We dive into Carlye’s love for adult dining at Palo, memorable shows and Disney main dining restaurants like Animator's Palate and Golden Mickeys, and the differences between ships—from the down-to-earth charm of the Wonder to the immersive storytelling on the Treasure. She also pitches some playful ideas for the future of DCL, including a “Muppets Day at Sea” and even a themed monorail bar! We reflect on what sets Disney Cruise Line apart from the parks, including cruising with a toddler, and hear Carlye’s excitement about the debut of the Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure.
