Ep. 645 - Bonus Show - runDisney's Carissa Galloway Is a Gold Castaway — Here Are Her DCL Favorites — DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast

Carissa Galloway has announced thousands of races as the face of runDisney — but she's equally passionate about Disney Cruise Line. After her first sailing on the Disney Wish ended with a propulsion breakdown and an unplanned night in Nassau, she kept coming back. Now she's officially Gold Castaway Club status, and she's got thoughts on everything from ship classes to soft serve.

In this episode:

How Carissa went from "I'm not a cruise person" to Gold Castaway Club status after five sailings
The helicopter dog-sledding excursion in Alaska she almost skipped — and why she's so glad she didn't
A registered dietitian's honest take on how to eat well on a Disney cruise without stressing yourself out
Why her son loves the Oceaneer Club while her daughter makes a beeline for the concierge lounge
Her favorite DCL ship class, her hot take on Animator's Palette, and what she's most excited to experience on the Disney Destiny
Her Captain America obsession, her dream Marvel Day at Sea, and her definitive answer on run Disney before or after your cruise

"If you're going to call it Animator's Palette, I need to animate." — Carissa
