Goofy’s Pool

Garwsh! Mickey’s pal Goofy has his own pool on the Wonder ! 

Cruisers of all ages are welcome to enjoy this cool spot on Deck 9. It features a main pool and two whirlpool spas where parents can watch the kids and relax at the same time.

Cast Members may also occasionally host activities; check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App for the latest information.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie are in charge of the mischief at the AquaLab on Deck 9. The 1,800-square-foot play zone features paint cans, showerheads, and geysers for little ones; randomly leaking pipes to plug; wheels and levers that pretend to control the AquaLab, and Donald’s Boiler. Careful, Donald could “blow his top” at any moment, and you will get wet.

Older kids will enjoy the Twist ‘n’ Spout Slide , a double-looping waterslide. You’ve got to be 38 inches or taller to ride.

Finally, the AquaLab includes Dory’s Reef, a 400-square-foot splash deck for the littlest cruisers .

Something “Wonder”ful

Disney reinvented the cruising experience from shore to sea, and their pools are no exception. If you attend one of the shows at night, such as on Pirate Night , you may wonder where all the main pools went.

Not to worry, they didn’t disappear: The crew “magically” covered them so there’s more space for guests to watch the show.

Safety is also a top priority, and they may close the pools during inclement weather or rough seas. Also , diving is not allowed as the pools are made for soaking, not swimming .

Lifeguards are on duty , and they may ask guests to leave if they repeatedly engage in dangerous behavior.

Hakuna matata if you’re not a fan of swimming in cold water. Disney will turn on the pool heaters if the water temperature drops below 75 degrees. Now if they could only do that for guests at Castaway Cay .

The pools are usually open during an Alaskan cruise . Just don’t let a family of bears join you.

Disney Wonder Pools: Helpful Hints

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your time in the pools aboard the Disney Wonder.

  • Try to visit the pools while in port as they tend to be less crowded than on sea days.
  • Remember to protect yourself from the sun by wearing, and reapplying, sunscreen throughout the day . Please choose a reef-safe option!
  • Pack several bathing suits for your cruise so you aren’t waiting for one to dry to return to the pools.
  • Review the “Know Before You Go” guidelines on each of the pool’s pages to make sure you know the rules.

Now that you know more about the pools on the Disney Wonder , which one will you dive into first?

Disney Wonder Cruise – A Complete Guide

Cruising with Disney is a dream for many. Once you make the decision that you are going to take the plunge and book a Disney Cruise it can take a whole lot of research to find the perfect ship for your vacation.

Disney Wonder is one of the smaller ships. She was second to join the fleet in 1999 and is, with her sister ship Disney Magic, known as one of the Disney Classic Ships.

disney wonder atrium

She may be getting on a little in years, but you absolutely would not know it. DCL has a very rigorous commitment to keeping all the fleet ship shape and she has undergone many upgrades over the years.

Having spent many months and visited many different ports on Disney Wonder, in pretty much every category of stateroom, I wanted to share my experience of this very special cruise ship.

Any questions? Be sure to Join the Disney Cruise Group and you will get the answers you need.

First the details. Just so you can see the basic info about Disney Wonder.

Gross Tonnage : 83969 GT Ship Length : 984 feet Beam : 106 feet Draft : 25 feet Max Speed : 25 mph (22 knots) Launched : 1998 Capacity : 2,713 passengers Crew Members : 945 Total on Board : 3,658 Total Staterooms : 875 Registered : Bahamas Ship Cost : $450 Million

The most important choice you need to make is which Disney Wonder stateroom to book.

I have sailed in every type of stateroom on Disney Wonder, with the exception of the Walt or Roy Disney Suite (but I can still dream)!

disney wonder concierge family stateroom

There are essentially four main choices of staterooms. Usually these range from the least expensive to the most expensive:

Inside Staterooms

Outside staterooms.

  • Verandah Staterooms
  • Concierge Staterooms

There are 9 different categories of staterooms on the Disney Wonder. 

These are Categories 11 to 4 for Staterooms and 3 Categories for Disney Wonder Concierge Staterooms and Suites.

The staterooms are also divided into subcategories according to which deck they are on and for some according to the view they have from the window or balcony.

Don’t worry, this isn’t quite as complicated as it sounds!

You will see a number and a letter which describes each different type of stateroom.

The letters go from A to E with A being the higher of the subcategories.

Higher decks are seen as more desirable so they will usually be in a higher-priced subcategory.

Here we give you an overview of the different types of staterooms available on Disney Wonder. If you want a much more detailed guide, including where the “secret staterooms” are go to:

Disney Wonder Staterooms – The Ultimate Guide

If you are looking for the best value staterooms on Disney Wonder then you need to look to see if an inside cabin is the right choice for you.

By inside, this means that the stateroom does not have a window.

There are 2 types of Inside Stateroom on Disney Wonder:

The difference between them is that the Standard has one bathroom, and the Deluxe has what is known as a split bathroom.

The split bathroom was a cruise industry first that has the shower, bath and sink in one room, and the toilet and sink in another.

disneyinsidestateroom

The standard inside stateroom is 184 square feet. Each has a Queen size bed with a single convertible sofa bed.

The deluxe inside stateroom is 214 square feet, which is quite a big upgrade of space compared to the standard inside stateroom.

The standard inside staterooms are usually the least expensive on the ship. I have stayed in a standard inside stateroom and they are absolutely fine if you are sailing with just 2 people. They would be a bit of a stretch if you have 3 adults or a teenager.

Choose a Deluxe Standard cabin on Disney Wonder is you are looking for great value and a little more space as it has the split bathroom.

These staterooms are located on Decks 1, 2, 5 and 7.

Related: Staterooms to Avoid on your Disney Cruise

These are the same size and design as the Disney Wonder Inside Staterooms, but they have portholes. A lot of guests like these as they offer good value and a view of the outside.

They have a Queen and a single sleeper sofa. There is a split bathroom.

Navigator’s Verandah

This is a rather unusual design of stateroom, which is only seen on the Classic Ships, the Magic and the Wonder.

They have an enclosed private verandah, so you have more space and view. But this is an enclosed space, so not a “true” verandah.

All are located on decks 5, 6, and 7 and are Category 7 Staterooms.

There are another 4 staterooms (6134, 6634, 7120, 7620) which are category 7 and are described as Navigator’s verandah staterooms, but they do not have the enclosed verandah. 

They have verandahs with obstructed views as they are located on Deck 6 aft and wrap around the hull.

They can be a good choice though if you are aware of this, and want to  save some money  instead of going to a Category 6 or 5 Verandah stateroom.

The Navigator’s Verandah staterooms are 268 square feet including the verandah. 

They sleep up to 4 guests and have a Queen Bed with a single sofa bed. Some have a pull down bunk over the sofa.

Verandah Staterooms on Disney Wonder

The verandah staterooms are some of the most popular cabins on the ship. Imagine having your own private outside space to sit and just enjoy the view.

All balcony cabins have 268 square feet of space including the verandah. 

All Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms with Verandahs have a Queen size bed and a single sleeper sofa. Some also sleep 4 as they have a pull down bunk above the sofa.

There are 114 Category 5 Staterooms and they are all of Deck 7. 

Category 6 are on decks 5 and 6 and have slightly larger verandahs.

disneydreamverandah

Which deck is best? Really none is any better than the other. I have stayed on all decks and prefer whichever one I can get the best price for!

One way to save some money is to book what is known as a white wall verandah. These are Category 5E.

Most of the verandahs on the ship have clear plexiglass. However, the white walls have solid white walls. This means that when you are sitting down on the balcony your view is restricted.

I have never had a problem with this – often it saves hundreds of dollars and personally I would rather take the savings and have the balcony whether or not I have to stand up sometimes to get a better view!

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

Have 5 in your party? Or just want some extra space and don’t mind spending more money?

The Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah are a rare thing in the cruise industry – a cabin sleeping 5 guests.

Each Family Oceanview balcony stateroom has a Queen bed and a convertible sofa with a pull-down bed over it. 

There is also a pull-down Murphy bed at the end of the stateroom, across the balcony door.

You can see my complete review of the Disney Wonder Family Oceanview Stateroom  if you click here .

There aren’t many of these staterooms on Disney Wonder. The ship was not built with many, and over the years some have been converted to Concierge Staterooms.

So if you want one of these it is best to book as early as you can, and be prepared to pay a premium. Often if you have a party of 5 it is more economical to book 2 staterooms.

Disney Wonder Concierge Staterooms

If this is in your budget then I highly recommend Concierge Staterooms.

There are many perks to sailing Concierge on Disney Wonder including access to the fabulous indoor lounge and outdoor sun deck.

disney wonder concierge lounge

These different types of staterooms are available in Concierge:

  • Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah – exactly the same design as non concierge but with upgraded amenities and concierge perks.
  • One bedroom suites
  • Two bedroom suites
  • Walt and Roy Disney Suites

RESTAURANTS ON DISNEY WONDER

A huge part of your Disney Wonder experience is the food.

And you certainly will have no chance to go hungry!

You may already have heard about the concept of Rotational Dining.

Disney does things a little differently with regard to dining.

Each ship has 3 main dining rooms – you will dine there at least once if you have a cruise of 3 days. If you are cruising for more than 3 days you will visit restaurant more than once.

Disney Wonder Restaurants

However, the innovative part is that your wait staff moves around with you.

Therefore you always have the same Head Server, Server, and Assistant Server.

This means that your dining team get the chance to know you better so that they can serve you better.

Related: How To Request a Private Table

Many guests on Disney Cruises are surprised by how important this is to their dining experience. It is very common to request specific servers when you return as you get to “bond” with your serving team.

The tree rotational dining restaurants on Disney Wonder are:

Tiana’s Place

  • Triton’s

Animator’s Palate

Tiana really does get her own restaurant here at Tiana’s Place on Disney Wonder.

This Princess and the Frog themed restaurant has a Mardi Gras party atmosphere and of course you get to try those famous Beignets!

tianasplacemenus

Tiana performs with the Crawfish Crooners and makes sure that she makes all her guests welcome by visiting their table.

This is a high energy (and loud) restaurant. Take some time to look around the restaurant to see the wonderful details and remember to join in with all the celebrations!

Review of Tiana’s Place with Menu and Pictures

Triton’s Restaurant on Disney Wonder

The most elegant of the main dining restaurants, Triton’s is themed for Disney’s Little Mermaid Movie. And with all the ship restaurants make sure that you spend some time looking around the dining room to see all the details that the Imagineers included.

There is a huge mosaic at the back of the restaurant that you have to take a look at.

tritons Disney Wonder

Triton’s is one of my favourite Disney Cruise ship restaurants. It may not have the show and entertainment, but it does have one of my very favourite menus. And also, not to be overlooked, the chairs are really comfortable!

Remember too that Triton’s serves breakfast and lunch if you want to have a sit down meal instead of heading to the buffet.

Review of Triton’s With Menu and Pictures

This is a classic Disney Cruise restaurant which is found on each of the first four ships.

It was very innovative when Disney Magic and Wonder were first launched, and it has most definitely stood the test of time.

The theme, of course, is animation. When you walk in you will see all the black and white drawings in the corridor at the restaurant entrance. Then in the main restaurant the walls are covered in classic Disney animation art.

As the meal progresses the lighting changes.

I am not going to spoil too much for you here as you really need to experience things for yourself, but safe to say this will be an entertaining dining experience.

ADULT RESTAURANTS

If you want to experience some adult only time on Disney Wonder then make sure that you snag a booking for Palo.

Palo is an Italian themed adults only restaurant on Disney Wonder.

Brunch is served on Sea Days and Dinner is served every day.

You really should indulge in at least one Palo dining experience on your cruise.

Both Dinner and Bruch at Palo cost $50 per person.

disneypalobrunchmenu

There is also an a la carte menu in Palo for dinner .

At Palo Bruch, this includes a glass of sparkling wine or a Mimosa. An extensive wine list is available for both Palo Brunch and Palo Dinner .

If you get the chance you really should experience at least one meal at Palo.

I usually choose Brunch but that is only because I enjoy the rotational dining rooms so much that I don’t want to miss the dinner there.

BARS ON DISNEY WONDER

There are bars on Disney Wonder:

  • Cadillac Lounge
  • Crown and Finn
  • French Quarter Lounge

Azure, Cadillac Lounge and Crown and Finn are all located on Deck 3 in an area called After Hours. They each have a different theme.

Disney Wonder Bars – The Complete Guide

Azure is the largest of them all and is used for a lot of the entertainment including bingo, some gameshows and the adult entertainment in the evening.

disneywonderbars

Cadillac Lounge is the piano lounge. It has limited opening hours, but is one of the best places to spend the evening listening to the entertainment.

Crown and Finn is themed as a British Pub. As a Brit I can say it does a pretty good job of this!

D Lounge is more of a family entertainment space. It does have a bar, but really this is not the main focus of the space. This is on Deck 4.

French Quarter Lounge is located on Deck 3, in the space between Tritons and Tiana’s Place. This bar is beautifully themed. It is also very much a space where families go most of the day. It is often used for trivia and craft activities in the daytime. There is live music at times in the evening.

Signals is the pool bar in the adult area of Deck 9 at the side of the pool. The indoor Cove Cafe also serves adult beverages as well as coffee and tea. Don’t miss the free pastries here as well!

Disney Cruise Drinks – The Complete Guide

Most of the bars welcome children. The Disney Cruise Ships are very much designed for families to spend time together. The exceptions to this are that children are never allowed in Cadillac Lounge, Cove Cafe or Signals. They are welcome in Azure and Crown and Finn up until 9 pm. Promenade Lounge and French Quarter are open to children at any time.

There is a lot to do on a Disney Cruise. You really can be as active as you want. Or you can sit at the pool all day and read a book. The choice is yours!

One of the main attractions is the pool deck. You are probably going to spend a lot of your time here!

Disney Wonder Pools

There are three pools on Disney Wonder that are all located on Deck 9:

Goofy’s Pool

Quiet cove pool.

This is the family pool on Disney Wonder. This is the main deck area with plenty of lounge chairs.

Goofy’s Pool is the centre of activity for families and it can get rather crowded.

There are 2 whirlpools in this area too.

disneycruisepool

This is the place where you will find all the deck parties including the location for the Pirate’s Night Celebrations.

There is a huge screen, known as Funnel Vision. This is a great place to watch Disney movies as you soak up the sun around the pool.

This is for the younger set and features 1,800-square-foot of recreation space. 

There is a water play area inspired by Donald Duck’s nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie for guests aged 3 and under.

There is a small, shallow pool which is suitable for younger kids. This are also has the Twist ‘n’ Spout slide.

Disney Wonder Slide

These areas of Deck 9 are also where you will find the quick service eating areas on Disney Wonder.

  • Pete’s Boiler Bites
  • Eye Scream Treats – yes that is all included ice cream as well as some pay options.
  • Pinnochio’s Pizzeria

If you want some adult quiet time and are aged 18 and over then the Quite Cove Pool is the place for you,

Featuring a pool with 2 hot tubs, sun loungers and table seating this is a place where you can relax.

disneywondercruiseforadults

You can enjoy a beverage from the outdoor Signals Bar or enjoy some time in the indoor Cove Cafe.

Drink of the Day – The Easy Way to Save

Sports and Fitness

If you want to keep up with your fitness program on Disney Wonder there are plenty of ways you can do that on Disney Wonder.

Take a stroll, or a run around the promenade deck on Deck 4 of Disney Wonder.

This is a true traditional promenade deck that you can walk all the way around. A complete circuit is 1/3 mile. This is an often forgotten area of the ship but is a wonderful place to take in the scenery, exercise, sit on a steamer chair lounger, or play shuffleboard.

Disney Wonder promenade deck

There is a well equipped gym on Disney Wonder . This is a very good space with up to date equipment.

Head on up to the Sports Deck which you will find on Deck 10. There is a basketball court, foosball and table tennis tables.

You can also walk right around the deck, or relax on one of the many sun loungers here.

The Spa on Disney Wonder

All of the Disney Ships have a full service spa.

Senses Spa and Salon on Disney Wonder offers a whole range of spa treatments including massages, facials, hair styling, and cosmetic treatments.

Spa Price List

The Rainforest Room is part of the spa area.

disneycruiserainforest

The Disney Cruise Rainforest is a limited-access area where you will find steam rooms, showers, and stone lounge chairs.

Complete Guide to the Rainforest on Disney Wonder

If you are interested in purchasing a pass for the Rainforest, head to the spa as soon as you board and ask about availability. Length of cruise passes are available, and sometimes day passes are available. I used to publish prices here, but they tend to change quite a bit, so it is difficult to be consistent. Just ask at the desk about prices.

ENTERNTAINMENT

You have probably heard that the shows on Disney Cruise Ships are “Broadway Quality”.

They really are.

One of the highlights on a Disney Cruise is the stage shows in the Walt Disney Theatre.

The live stage shows on Disney Wonder are:

  • All Aboard: Let the Magic Begin
  • Disney Dreams: An Enchanted Classic
  • Frozen, A Musical Spectacular
  • Golden Mickeys
  • Remember the Magic, A Final Farewell

Schedules to vary according to the itinerary you are sailing on, but usually you will get see at least one of the “big” shows which are Frozen, Golden Mickeys and Disney Dreams.

There are two shows each day, which fit around the two different rotational dining times so that everyone has a chance to see the show.

waldisneytheater

On some itineraries there are other performers such as magicians, hypnotists and jugglers. These acts are always very high quality and are usually well worth seeing.

Sometimes, on longer sailings, there is a movie which is shown in the Walt Disney Theatre in addition to the movies which are shown all day in the Buena Vista Movie Theatre all day.

You will definitely never be short of entertainment on your Disney Cruise. You can do as much or as little as you want to, but there are plenty of activities throughout the day to keep you busy if you want to join in.

  • Cooking Demonstrations
  • Craft Activities
  • Expert Talks
  • Character Greetings

One very popular activity for the adults is the Beverage Tastings.

Disney Cruise Tastings

These reservation only activities are scheduled every day, and are available to book prior to your cruise, as well as on board.

Complete Guide to Beverage Tastings

PIRATE NIGHT

Pirate Night is a themed deck party, menu and fireworks party on select sailings.

Many, but not all of the cruises on Disney Wonder include Pirate Night.

The Alaskan cruises do not include Pirate Night. They have Frozen Night instead.

Only select Australian and New Zealand cruises include the full Pirate Night, but some include fireworks but not the full show. Always check with Disney Cruise Line directly to see if this is included on your cruise as each itinerary varies.

Here is a Complete Guide to Pirate Night.

A lot of people dress up for Pirate Night and join in with the theme!

KIDS CLUBS ON DISNEY WONDER

As you would expect, the kids clubs on the ship are an excellent facility for all ages from 6 months to age 17. 

There are different spaces on all of the Disney Cruise Ships for children of all ages.

disneycruisekidsclub

There are 5 different Kids Clubs on each Disney Ship:

  • It’s A Small World Nursery 6 months to 3 years – this is the only one with a fee
  • Oceaneer Club ages 3 to 12
  • Oceaneer Lab ages 3 to 12
  • Edge ages 11 to 14
  • Vibe ages 14 to 17

The Oceaneer Lab and Oceanner Club are separate spaces but children can go from one to the other via a safe corridor.

Take advantage of the Open Houses which happen every day so that you can see just how much fun the clubs are and participate in some activities with your child.

Related: Disney Cruise Kids Clubs – All You Need to Know

Disney Wonder is a relatively small ship, but there are some stores on board that have some great items to purchase:

These are the Disney Wonder stores:

  • Mickey’s Mainsail
  • Sea Treasures
  • Diamonds and Wishes
  • Vista Gallery

The first 3 on this list are in the same area, just before the entrances to Walt Disney Theatre on Deck 4. There is one store area on either side of the corridor here.

Mickey’s Mainsail is probably my favourite store as this is where you will find most of the unique Disney Cruise Line themed merchandise. If you see something on the first day then get it, as stocks often run low.

White Caps is the place to pick up your favourite Dooney and Bourke or Loungefly bags, as well as other Disney themed merch.

There is a small selection of sundry items if you forget such things as toothpaste or basic supplies. Always try and remember to bring your own, because the prices are pretty high here!

Diamonds and Wishes is a relatively new feature on Disney Wonder, having been created in the space where Shutters used to be on Deck 4, during the dry dock prior to her first sailings to Australia.

This is the place to go if you want to see watches, jewellery and Pandora Charms. If you are a Pandora collector, each ship has its own special charm. Make sure you get to the store early as these tend to sell out quickly.

Remember to check out the Vista Gallery. It is a little bit of a stretch to call this area a gallery but this is where the Disney art is displayed. This is on the wall outside D Lounge as you are walking towards Diamonds and Wishes (formerly Shutters) on Deck 4.

Shutters used to take up a large space on Disney Wonder, but now that things are so easy to see on your phone, most of this space is taken up with the new Diamonds and Wishes. There is still a Shutters stand so that you can talk to the staff about any questions you have about the Disney Cruise Photo Packages.

ITINERARIES

Disney Wonder has some of the most varied of all of the Disney Cruise Ship itineraries.

disneycruisemexico

In 2024 she is sailing Australian, New Zealand, Transpacific, Pacific Coast, Alaskan, Mexican Riviera, and Baja Cruises.

We know that she is returning to Australia and New Zealand in late 2024 and will continue to sail there until she sails repositioning cruises from Sydney to Hawaii and then Hawaii to Sydney in early 2025.

Disney Wonder Ship Overview

Image © Disney

The Disney Wonder is part of the original set of two ships that Disney Cruise Line built in the late 1990s. With a focus on family-friendly entertainment rather than belly flop contests and onboard casinos , Disney Cruise Line set a new standard that some other cruise lines are still trying to catch up to a quarter-century later. Despite the ship’s age, Disney Wonder continues to receive regular updates and improvements, including an extensive dry dock refurbishment in 2016.

The ship boasts a streamlined look that reminds passengers of the grand early oceanliners — but with a classic black, yellow, red, and white color scheme that immediately suggests the iconic Mickey Mouse. An image of Mickey as Steamboat Willie adorns the bow of the ship.

In back, you’ll see Donald hanging on makeshift scaffolding and trying to paint the ship’s logo on the stern. It’s going about as well as you’d expect.

How Does Disney Wonder Compare to Other Disney Cruise Ships?

The Disney Wonder is a sister ship to the Disney Magic ; the two ships are generally the same in terms of construction (though similar areas on each ship are themed differently from one another). As the original ships in the fleet, they also happen to be the smallest.

There are more new Disney Cruise ships being built , but all of them will be larger than the Disney Wonder.

One notable difference is that the Disney Wonder is the only current Disney Cruise ship which doesn’t have its own water “ride” (such as the AquaDunk, AquaDuck, or AquaMouse found on other ships). But there are still pools and a standard waterslide onboard.

Should I Pick the Disney Wonder Instead of a Larger Ship?

It’s really a matter of personal preference, but my wife and I prefer smaller ships such as the Disney Wonder because they’re just easier to get around while onboard. Remember — you’re walking to everything on the ship, and on the Wonder there’s never more than a 5-10 minute walk from your stateroom to the restaurants, theatres, and pools.

Compare that to a larger ship such as the Disney Dream, where you’ll likely need a bit more time to walk from one part of the ship to the other. And since the larger ships have more decks than the smaller ones, you might find yourself spending more time waiting on elevators as opposed to just using the staircases for a quick jaunt.

This smaller ship is also able to visit ports that are inaccessible to larger ships; that means it’s able to do things the bigger ships can’t, such as sailing right through a narrow Alaskan fjord and getting tantalizingly close to a giant glacier!

At the moment, the Wonder is the only Disney ship offering certain itineraries  such as Alaska or Hawaii; that alone could make your choice for you if you have a particular destination in mind.

Otherwise, if this will be your first time taking a Disney Cruise , a smaller ship like the Wonder might be a better bet versus a larger ship like the Disney Dream , Disney Fantasy , or Disney Wish . It’ll let you “ease into” cruising with Disney without getting completely overwhelmed.

But don’t fret too much over the choice; whatever you pick, you’re going to have a great time. Most of the Disney ships still have relatively equal offerings despite size differences. As an example, the Wonder (smaller) and Fantasy (larger) both have a number of main restaurants plus adult-exclusive dining, a night club district, kids clubs, a spa, and live shows — but there are some differences in size, layout, and theming. The larger ships might have more of each, but the overall experience is very similar.

Your stateroom (passenger cabin) is your hotel room onboard the Disney Wonder. It’s where you’ll sleep and spend most of your private time, so picking the right room is important. The type of room you choose is also one of the biggest factors in the price of a Disney cruise , because the per-person cost can increase based on the category picked.

The Disney Wonder has 875 passenger staterooms, and most of them offer some type of outside view (via either a verandah balcony or porthole windows). There are four main types of rooms on the ship; each of those four types is then further divided into multiple categories and subcategories.

Here is a brief look at the types of rooms you can choose from. We’ve listed them here generally from cheapest to most expensive, though there may be some price overlap. You are usually able to choose the exact room you’ll stay in on the ship — check out our complete guide to Disney Cruise staterooms  for more information.

Inside Staterooms on Disney Wonder

Inside Staterooms are just that — completely inside. They have no porthole window and no balcony. On the Disney Wonder, you’ll find a round mirror that sort of looks like a porthole, but it only offers views of yourself staring back.

This stateroom type has standard and deluxe variations. The standard is the smallest onboard (but still larger than on some other cruise lines) and has a single bathroom; the deluxe is slightly larger and has a split bathroom (toilet/sink in a separate room from the shower/sink).

Oceanview staterooms offer an outside view through one or two round porthole windows which do not open. Window sizes vary, but larger windows are more common than smaller windows. The smallest windows are on Deck 1.

Verandah staterooms are the most popular room types onboard, with a private balcony just outside your stateroom. Most verandahs offer see-through railings with a clear safety plexiglass covering, but a few categories have solid metal walls or are completely enclosed except for an open-air cut-out.

Disney Wonder Dining and Lounges

The dining experience on the Disney Wonder includes three delightful main restaurants, an adult-exclusive dining location, several quick-service options, and even free room service! Here’s everything you need to know about dining onboard the Disney Wonder.

Rotational Dining Restaurants on Disney Wonder

The heart of the Disney Cruise Line dining experience is its nightly dinner service. And on the Disney Wonder (like all Disney Cruise Ships), dinner is scheduled through something called rotational dining . You’re pre-scheduled to visit a different restaurant each night — no need to make a reservation ahead of time — but you’ll still have the same servers each night.

Your cruise fare includes dinner at these three restaurants at no additional charge.

  • Animator’s Palate

Animator’s Palate is one of the most popular dining experiences throughout the Disney Cruise fleet, and the Disney Wonder is no exception. Repeat cruisers love its menu, and its whimsical and lively atmosphere is pure Disney.

Popular menu items here include one of my favorites, the black truffle pasta purseittes (I sometimes ask for a double helping — you can do that at no additional charge!). My wife enjoys their butternut squash soup. Other offerings include wild mushroom risotto, a polenta cake with tomato and mushrooms, beef tenderloin, and a lemon-thyme marinated chicken. There are plenty of other options, too, most inspired by the cuisines of California, Asia, and the Pacific.

As good as the food is, the real highlight of dinner here is a tribute to the art of animation. A finale show called Drawn to Magic tells the story of how an animated feature goes from early sketches to a full-fledged film. The dining room itself — and your servers — even take on a bit more color during the dinner service, which includes a special visit from Sorcerer Mickey.

On longer cruises, you might also experience Animation Magic , a different show which allows you to draw your own character and see it animated on the screens during the show! You’ll start by drawing your character on a special paper placemat which is whisked away before service begins; then later in the evening, Sorcerer Mickey does his stuff and your drawing leaps off the page and into motion!

Triton's on the Disney Wonder cruise ship -- A table is set for dinner in a yellow-lit room with blue circular light fixtures overhead

Triton’s is located immediately off the main atrium lobby of the ship, just behind the statue of Ariel. As you’d expect, the restaurant is themed to The Little Mermaid , though elegantly so.

For those feeling a bit adventurous, try the escargot. It doesn’t cost anything extra so you’re not out any money if you hate it — and you might be as surprised as I was to learn that you love it and want to order it on every cruise! If you’d rather stick with Les Poissons , there’s an oven-baked salmon. You might also find chilled jumbo shrimp, a crispy roasted duck breast, and other tempting entrees on the menu. Finish your meal with a dessert of the ever-popular Grand Marnier soufflé or the Instagram-worthy (though admittedly a bit underwhelming taste-wise) Apple Tarte Tatin.

Disney Cruise Food - Tarte Tatin

Outside of dinner service, Triton’s is also the non-buffet option for breakfast (French Toast, omelets, crepes) and lunch (whitefish, pork ribs, chicken breast) on most days.

  • Tiana’s Place

She’s no longer just almost there — she’s made it! This lively restaurant celebrates Tiana’s journey to becoming a restaurant owner with New Orleans décor and great live jazz music and storytelling. While it’s not quite a full-fledged character dining experience , you’ll still have a chance to see Tiana and possibly say hi to her on the way in. And don’t be surprised if you see a certain musical gator galivanting about!

The menu is a tribute to southern cuisine and the flavor of Louisiana. Try the New Orleans seafood pepper pot, shrimp jambalaya, and Cajun-spiced sea bass — or steer your way toward milder fare. Dessert includes Tiana’s famous beignets and a chocolate bread pudding.

Adult-Exclusive Dining on the Disney Wonder

The Adult-Exclusive offerings onboard Disney Wonder include a famed Italian restaurant that many repeat cruisers swear by.

Palo is the perfect spot for a memorable meal featuring fine Italian food. Giant windows allow you to gaze at the moonlight reflecting on the ocean surface as your tastebuds are tempted by the restaurant’s bill of fare.

Dinner menu items at this specialty dining location include dover sole (fileted tableside), butternut agnolotti, and seared sea scallops. The restaurant’s signature chocolate soufflé is a popular finish to your meal.

A tremendously-popular brunch service is also typically offered on Sea Days, but it can be tough to snag reservations. Try to book book as early as your onboard booking window allows .

Dining at Palo requires an upcharge, around $45 as of June 2023. Adding a wine pairing costs a bit more.

Casual Dining on the Disney Wonder

Breakfast and lunch onboard your Disney cruise ship is usually a casual affair – and there are even low-key options for dinner.

Cabanas is the buffet-style restaurant onboard the Disney Wonder, which offers an eclectic menu featuring great tastes from around the globe.

At breakfast, you’ll be able to pick your favorites from nearly a dozen different food stations. There are plenty of ready-made options such as Mickey Waffles, eggs, sausage, and bacon; you can also opt to spend a few minutes to allow the professional Omeleteer to whip up a custom omelet just for you, filled with the ingredients you selectr.

Thanks to the cruise line’s international clientele, you’ll also find some breakfast offerings not typically found here in the states — rice, miso soup, smoked fish, and such. For me, this is a fun way to step out of my eggs-and-bacon comfort zone and start my day with something I can’t easily find stateside such as a bowl of muesli (“fresh” granola) topped with fruits, nuts, and grains.

Lunch at Cabanas is an ever-changing mix of menu-items. Typical choices include: a wide array of freshly-grilled meats; a carving station featuring selections such as prime rib, roast beef, or ham; jumbo iced shrimp and crab claws; sandwiches and wraps; pizza; and plenty of desserts such as cakes, pie, cheesecake, and hand-dipped ice cream.

Cabanas is also open for dinner, offering an alternative for those who want to skip their assigned rotational dining for the evening. Dinner is table service — not buffet-style — with a somewhat limited menu of items such as salmon, chicken, steak, and the like.

Lounges, Bars, and Snacks on the Disney Wonder

There’s always a place to grab a quick bite to eat or a refreshing drink onboard Disney Wonder. Here are just a few highlights:

Dance the night away at Azure, the Disney Wonder’s liveliest night club in the heart of the After Hours district onboard. Earlier in the day, all are welcome to enjoy family-friendly activities. In the evening, it’s adults-only featuring specialty cocktails and an energetic nightlife.

  • Beverage Station

Most non-alcoholic drinks are included in the cost of your cruise, so there’s no need to purchase a drink package if you just want a soda, tea, coffee, milk, or water. This soda station near the pool offers unlimited free self-serve drinks all day long.

  • Cadillac Lounge

Classic Hollywood, classic cars, and live piano combine to bring back the 50s in this moody hideaway. You can practically hear Frankie and Dino warming up.

This adults-only lounge serves specialty coffees and teas by day. At night, enjoy cocktails, wine, and a light nosh.

  • Crown & Fin Pub

Settle into this traditional English public house for a lively evening of drink and fun. Catch the latest sports via live TV (when available) while quaffing your choice of more than a dozen beer choices (including some British favorites) or other specialty beverages.

D Lounge is a family-friendly venue that hosts interactive entertainment for everyone. Play trivia here, sing Karaoke, or enjoy a live game show.

Daisy’s De-Lites, Pete’s Boiler Bites, and Pinocchio’s Pizzeria

These poolside quick service windows offer grab-&-go goodies. Pizza, hamburgers & hot dogs, tacos, sandwiches, chicken tenders, and other quick bites are on the menu here.

  • Eye Scream Treats

Cool down with all-you-can eat soft-serve ice cream from this popular location. I personally can rarely pass by here without grabbing a cone, no matter how full I am.

  • French Quarter Lounge

Not far from Tiana’s Place is French Quarter Lounge, a unique location with décor that includes a New Orleans street car. A gazebo stage and wrought-iron accents combine with hot music and hot beignets to complete the Louisiana theme. Kids are welcome earlier in the day to enjoy family-friendly games and character visits.

Room Service on the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship

Many passengers are surprised to learn that Room Service is included in the cost of your Disney Cruise.

The standard Room Service menu on the Disney Wonder includes selections such as soups & salads, hamburgers & sandwiches, flatbreads, pasta, and chicken tenders. You can also select from a few desserts, such as the cake-of-the-day and the ever-popular Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream bar.

I usually get an order of hot wings, though the journey they take from the galley to my room sometimes leaves them a bit less crispy than I’d like. I’m also fond of the All Hands on Deck , a plate of assorted cheese, fruit, and crackers that makes an enjoyable snack while sitting on my verandah watching the ocean roll by.

While all of the above is included at no additional cost, you will have to pay extra for specialty items such as beer, wine, canned soft drinks, deluxe coffees, juices, and pre-packaged snacks/candies.

Also don’t forget to tip the crew member who delivers the food to your room.

Best Bets for Each Meal on Disney Wonder

Below we list each of the main meal periods onboard the ship, and your best options for each.

  • Primary option: Cabanas is the best breakfast spot onboard thanks to its long hours, wide selection of food, and all-you-care-to-eat atmosphere. It’s not a quiet meal by any stretch, but given that almost everything is hot and ready on the buffet, you can quickly eat here and move on to a quiet lounge chair in no time flat.
  • Secondary option: One of the three rotational restaurants (typically Triton’s) usually offers a table-service breakfast most days, complete with a server who will bring your food and keep your drinks topped off. Although Cabanas will have a wider variety to choose from, dining here instead allows for a much more relaxed start to your day.
  • Other options: Room Service has a breakfast option, but you’ll need to pre-order it the night before and choose from an extremely limited menu. The offerings are more along the lines of a continental breakfast (juices, coffees, pastries, cold cereals), with no real “hot breakfast” (no eggs, bacon, sausage, or oatmeal).
  • Primary option: Cabanas is the best lunch option (and the most crowded) due to its tremendous selection. Iced jumbo shrimp and crab claws are a signature menu item most days; you’ll also find freshly grilled meats, a wide variety of side items, some interesting international selections, and plenty of dessert. Snag a table outside on the deck to enjoy a beautiful seaside lunch.
  • Secondary option: The food service windows on the pool deck are a great option at any time of day, especially if you’re enjoying the day poolside. You don’t even need to change out of your sopping-wet swimsuit to grab a meal. These windows are usually open well after Cabanas has stopped serving lunch, so they’re a great late afternoon option.
  • Other options : Triton’s usually serves a lunch option on most days if you want a sit-down meal but don’t want to wade through the crowds at Cabanas. Room Service is another good option.
  • Primary option: Your assigned rotational dining restaurant is your best bet for dinner. Dining at these locations is the highlight of each day onboard the ship, thanks to the themed menus, specialty décor, and personalized service from a dedicated wait staff who remains with you each night of the cruise. (They’re likely to become your favorite Crew Members onboard — Katie and I still talk about Potchara and Heny, our servers from a 2019 Alaska Cruise on the Disney Wonder).
  • Secondary option: As an alternative to your pre-scheduled rotational dining restaurant, you might opt to dine at Cabanas, which is totally different at night. While breakfast and lunch there can feel a bit hectic, Dinner at Cabanas is much more relaxed. No carrying around your plate and searching for a seat — a server presents you with a menu and brings food to you. This is a great option if the menu for one of your assigned restaurants doesn’t look that appealing to you, or if you’re not keen on dressing up for Formal Night.
  • Other options: Many cruisers enjoy dedicating at least one night of their cruise to an adult-exclusive meal at Palo. Otherwise, room service and the poolside quick-service windows are a good choice.

Off-Hours Eating and Snacking

  • Primary option: For cravings outside the main meal periods, I recommend the quick-service windows such as Pete’s Boiler Bites, Daisy’s De-Lites, and Pinocchio’s Pizzeria. Their grab-and-go convenience makes them a great choice to tide you over between meals. Individual portions are a bit smaller so you won’t spoil your dinner (unless you want to, because it’s still all-you-can-eat).
  • Secondary option: Room Service is available day and night, up until about 1:30 AM on the last morning of your cruise. So if it’s 3AM and you suddenly find yourself in desperate need of a hamburger, it’s the only way to go. As a slightly less extreme example, there’s something delightful about having warm cookies and milk delivered to your room just before bedtime.

Disney Wonder Kids Clubs and Teen Clubs

DCL Oceaneer Club

You might be surprised by how much time your kids will want to spend away from you during your Disney Cruise! One of the main reasons Disney Cruise Line is the best cruise line for kids is its fantastic youth activities spaces, including a substantial portion of Deck 5 which is dedicated solely to passengers under the age of 12.

  • Disney’s Oceaneer Club

The Oceaneer Club is the place where your kids will likely spend a large amount of their time onboard. This secure facility is accessible only to kids aged 3-10 and trained youth activities staff (though adults are welcome to visit during established Open House hours). Inside, kids will find specially-themed spaces and kid-friendly activities. Best of all, it’s all included in the cost of your Disney cruise!

Disney Wonder Entertainment and Activities

With live Broadway-style shows and lively deck parties, the Disney Wonder offers a wide variety of onboard entertainment.

Broadway-Style Shows in the Walt Disney Theatre

Each night of your cruise, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a live show in the beautiful Walt Disney Theatre. The nearly-1,000-seat theatre hosts three Broadway-style shows during your cruise, with showtimes offered opposite your dinner time; if you have early dinner, you’ll catch the late show… and vice versa. You can even watch a recorded version of the shows on your stateroom television if you don’t want to head to the theatre at showtime.

Passengers on longer voyages will also enjoy other additions such as a magician, hypnotist, or family-friendly comedian on nights when the Broadway-style shows are dark.

Something tells me it’ll all get sorted out in the nick of time, and we might even learn a little bit about believing in ourselves along the way. Featuring songs from about a dozen different Disney films, this show is a fan favorite that’s sure to have you humming along.

Special Themed Nights and Deck Parties

Frozen night.

Select 7-night sailings on the Disney Wonder include a Frozen-themed evening, complete with special menus inside the dining rooms, an Anna’s Chocolate Chase scavenger hunt, and a Freezing the Night Away deck party.

Pirates in the Caribbean Deck Party with Fireworks

Some itineraries may include a Pirate night. Enjoy a special themed menu at dinner, then head up to the pool deck for a raucous live show with favorite Disney characters and fireworks at sea!

Note: not every itinerary offers a pirate night, and fireworks may be canceled due to weather. Pirate night is  never offered on Alaskan sailings due to the fireworks’ impact on wildlife and the natural surroundings.

PIXAR Pals Party

Found only onboard Alaska sailings on the Wonder (in place of Pirate Night), this party features character greetings and lively music from your favorite Disney•PIXAR films.

Disney Movies in the Buena Vista Theatre

First-run and classic favorite Disney, Marvel, PIXAR, and LucasFilm movies are shown all day long in the Buena Vista Theatre. There’s no need to buy a ticket – just drop in at showtime and grab a seat.

If your cruise falls during the premiere of a highly-anticipated Disney film, there will likely be a huge “PremEAR at Sea” showing first in the Walt Disney Theatre. After that, it’ll be shown repeatedly in the Buena Vista Theatre for the remainder of the cruise.

Disney Wonder Spas and Salons

Disney Wonder offers a full-service spa onboard the ship, plus many other health and wellness services to help you melt away the troubles of the real world during your cruise.

Senses Spa and Salon

Pamper yourself like no place else at Senses Spa & Salon onboard the Disney Wonder. Choose from a comprehensive spa menu , salon services, or rejuvenation procedures at this restful retreat on Deck 9. Offerings include aroma stone therapy, deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, facials, acupuncture, teeth whitening, shampooing & cut/style, manipedis, CoolSculpting, and more. Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, sandals & robes, showers, and lockers complete the package. Services here require an upcharge.

This special area of Senses offers treatments exclusively for teens aged 13-17. A parent or guardian must accompany the teen for the duration of the treatment, and parent/teen combined services can be purchased if desired.

Fitness Center

Keep up your workout routine even while you’re on vacation with the Disney Wonder’s Fitness Center. Those looking for an equipment-based workout will find a nice selection of weight machines, cardio equipment, ellipticals, and treadmills. For a group experience, try yoga, Pilates, or an aerobics class. You can even arrange for a one-on-one analysis and training session with a professional personal coach.

  • Walking/Jogging Track

The Deck 4 promenade of the Disney Wonder serves as a full-circle walking/jogging track. Although I’m no runner, I do enjoy a leisurely walk here at least once per cruise to help break up that sense of “only short bursts of activity” that can set in on a longer sailing. Being on Deck 4 gives you a close-up view of the water — close enough to notice, perhaps, a porpoise breaching the surface. That makes this deck not only a great place to exercise, but also a great place to relax in a deck chair.

Deck 4 Promenade

A nice side bonus of this track is that as you make the turn to circle around to reach the opposite side of the ship, you’ll get a look at some of the mechanical wizardry that keeps the ship functioning. For someone like me who loves behind-the-scenes gadgetry, it’s a neat perk that helps to nudge me out onto the track.

Heavy Machinery

Psst… here’s my favorite super secret tip for the Disney Wonder : if you’re on a glacier day during an Alaska cruise and find that the decks are too crowded to get a good view, take the walking path on deck 4 and head toward the back of the ship. As the path transitions from an open promenade to an enclosed area behind the metal walls of the ship, you’ll encounter several giant open air portholes that offer a great view. Few folks know they’re here, so there’s rarely any “competition” for a spot. Don’t tell anyone! 😉

Your right about the smaller ships. My husband and I had only sailed on the Magic & Wonder but finally tried the Dream two weeks ago. It was a pretty boat but much bigger than we were used to. It certainly reminded us we’re getting older lol. I think we’ll stick with the Magic once it comes back to Florida next year.

Disney Wonder Cruise Ship Details

The Disney Wonder’s maiden voyage took place on August 15, 1999. The theme of Disney Wonder includes nods to New Orleans, Frozen, and The Little Mermaid. The art style of the Disney Wonder is Art Nouveau.

What Character is on the Stern of the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship?

Donald Duck is the character on the stern of the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship.

Where is Everything on the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship?

One of the toughest parts of any Disney Cruise Vacation is taking the time to learn the ship. And on shorter excursions, like 3 or 4 days, it’s almost impossible to learn the layout and still have time to enjoy it. Get a good handle on the Disney Wonder Deck Plan below so you can see where everything is throughout your trip.

Disney Wonder Atrium Lobby

The Disney Wonder Atrium may not be as big as the Disney Wish , but it still adds something special to the experience. Complete with beautiful ironwork for the elevators, see how many characters you can find in the Disney Wonder Atrium. Gilded into the floor framework, you have two levels of carved Disney characters to find. And then, of course, there are also so many hidden Mickeys! Featuring the Little Mermaid in the lobby of the Disney Wonder, Ariel fans will love the nods to this film all over the boat.

Disney Wonder Staterooms

As part of this Disney Wonder Cruise Ship Guide, we’re including all the kinds of cruise ship staterooms to choose from, so you can make your best choice. The types of staterooms included in the Disney Wonder are Concierge, Verandah, Oceanview, and Inside. All of these can sleep 3-4 people comfortably and include a queen-size bed, and sleeper sofa. The larger rooms can sleep up to 5 people comfortably with the addition of a double sofa sleeper, and pull-down bunk. On this trip, we had a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah and it offered plenty of room for three people. 

In addition to the basics, additional amenities like plenty of drawer and closet space, a safe, laundry bag, towels, toiletries, and a first aid kit were all included. Overall the layout of this room was fantastic. A floor-to-ceiling curtain splits the room between the queen bed and the sleeper sofa for extra privacy. And there is a sink in both the restroom and shower room. Allowing guests to take a shower without interrupting restroom use. 

Inside Stateroom, Porthole, or Verandah?

A big question to consider on any Disney Cruise is what kind of stateroom do you need. And since prices vary across all of these room types, it’s good to get an idea of what they each offer so you can make your best choice. Mind you, we’re not including concierge, or suites simply because we haven’t yet stayed in either. And it pays to consider that you may need one kind of room for a warm-weather cruise while choosing another for a cold-weather cruise. Similarly, your room preference may change depending on the length of your cruise. What may be okay for a 4-night cruise, may not work for a 14-day Transatlantic cruise. 

Inside Staterooms

Inside staterooms offer something called a Magical Porthole with real-time views of the water and waves outside. If you and your family are fine with a digital window, these rooms are the cheapest onboard, while still offering all the amenities of the outside staterooms. 

Disney Dream Disney Cruise Line

Oceanview Staterooms come with a variety of porthole options; Obstructed, Two Small Portholes, or One Large Porthole. The obstructed porthole room just means that there may be a pole or part of the ship in front of your oceanview window. If you’re not in your room a lot, or during daylight hours, this may not be an issue for you. Rooms with two small portholes are definitely adequate and offer a nice view of the water, while rooms with one large porthole have a window seat built-in. Perfect for gazing out the window. Check out our tour of the Disney Wonder Oceanview Stateroom.

Verandah Rooms include a balcony with seating that overlooks the water and are a dream on cruises with a view but do cost significantly more. And may not be the best bet for families with small children. So much of what you see from your room is dependent upon which side of the boat your room is on, and which side of the port is prettiest. 

Disney Cruise Towel Folding Towel Friends

Disney Cruise Room Host and Towel Friends

One of our favorite parts of any Disney Cruise is getting to know the Cast Members. And there are a few of whom you will see daily and who will truly be there for you the whole time! Your room host is one of those people. Room hosts tend to your room and learn your “schedule” so they can time room cleaning, and turn down service. They learn your names, leave chocolates and make you towel friends to greet you when you return to your cabin each evening. If we could take these folks home with us, we would. They are wonderful human beings there to make your life easier. Disney Cruise line typically has 1 cast member for every 2.5 passengers, there to help you however they can.

Disney Wonder Activities Onboard

As with all Disney Cruise Line Activities, you MUST have the Disney Cruise App on your phone so you can get access to the Disney Navigator. This section of the app allows you to do your favorite activities, be alerted of event times, and see what is happening across the boat each day of your cruise. The Disney Cruise App also shows you Restaurant Menus and Port Excursions. So it is a MUST-HAVE when onboard the ship. You can only get access to the Disney Navigator once you are onboard. At which point you Turn On Airplane Mode, and Connect to the Disney Cruise Line Guest Wi-Fi . Once that has been done you can open the Disney Cruise App and see your options. 

Disney Wonder Kid's Club Toy Story

Disney Wonder Kids Clubs

If you’re bringing the kid’s on your Disney Cruise, then there is plenty for them to do. Not only as part of the family activities but also as special things they can tackle alone. Often a much-needed break for parents, Disney Cruise offers Kid’s Clubs that cater to different age groups that help kids meet new friends, make crafts, play games, and more. Kid’s Clubs offer Open Houses on the first day onboard the ship, so kids can check in and get access. Be sure to check out the Disney Navigator App for times to visit the clubs and get your child set up. And download the My Disney Cruise Adventure Booklet to get your child ready for all that’s in store. Here are the kid’s clubs you can find on the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship. 

“it’s a small world” nursery

If you need childcare on your cruise you can reserve time at the “It’s a small world” nursery. This care place is filled with activities and fun to keep your little one occupied and safe while you enjoy other things onboard. Read More about the Disney Cruise Nursery.

Disney Oceaneer Club and Lab | Ages 3-12

The Oceaneer Club offers up play areas with slides, games, crafts, and more. On the Disney Wonder the Oceaneer Club includes magical “lands” to explore that inform the activities throughout the cruise. 

  • Andy’s Room: Featuring a Slinky Dog slide, this space includes Woody and Jesse for some wild west rollicking fun.

  • Captain America’s Super Hero 101: The captain himself gets in on the action to teach kids how to be a superhero in this activity.

  • Join the Lion Guard: If you’re ready to be the mane event, get some tips on how you can train to be on Simba’s Lion Guard! Check the Disney Navigator App for details, once onboard. 

Edge | Ages 11-14

Equipped with all the tech, TVs, and video games you need to have fun if your tween wants to take part. Located on Deck 9 Midship. Edge Hours are 10:00 am- 1:00 am. 

Vibe Lounge on the Disney Wonder

Vibe | Ages 14- 17

This lounge space for teens is perfect for hanging out, having fun, and even making smoothies.  Teens 14-17 will have plenty to do if they’re ready to make friends and take part. Vibe features a coffee bar, and a wide selection of nonalcoholic beverages to keep them going all day and offers counselors on hand to oversee the fun. On the Disney Wonder, Vibe is decorated like a loft-inspired haven filled with brick, concrete, and all things urban cool. Activities include karaoke, games, video games, dance parties, and more group activities. Vibe Hours are 10:00 am- 1:00 am

1820 Society | Ages 18-20

Rather underground, the 1820 Society offers young cruisers aged 18-20 the opportunity to get together for activities. While not heavily published and with no designated space, this group’s meet-ups are often available on the Disney Navigator App. Lead by a single cast member, activities like photo scavenger hunts, or meet-ups at the Lounges during the day are all on the menu for this group. Trivia, Karaoke, Games, and Silent Disco are also offered throughout the cruise to keep these young adults involved. If sailing to Castaway Cay the group also takes part in group activities like biking, and volleyball. Be on the lookout in the app for times to meet up, and check with a Cast Member once onboard for details on registering.

Disney Wonder Entertainment

If you’ve ever been on a Disney Cruise you know that the entertainment onboard is top-notch! From Broadway-style entertainment to evening performers, games, and activities, there is no shortage of fun things to do!

Freezing the Night Away Party Disney Wonder Alaska Cruise

Mickey’s Sail a Wave Party A Bon Voyage Celebration

This on-deck party takes place as soon as you Sail Away! While the time sometimes varies, be sure to check out the Disney Navigator in the app for the exact time to be on deck to watch the show. On the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship, the Sail Away Deck Party happens on Deck 11, but you can see the show from the balcony on Deck 12 if you can find a spot to stand and watch. This show features Mickey and Friends and Cruise Cast Members dancing and singing to help get you into the mood for your best Disney Cruise Ever.

Pirate Night

Disney Cruise Line Pirate Night is a mainstay on many Disney cruises sailing to the Caribbean and a must-do no matter your age! In fact, with Pirate-themed everything on the day of the party, it’s hard to avoid! Mickey and Friends all don their Pirate best and pose for pictures. And everyone (EVERYONE) gets dressed up as a pirate for dinner to be ready for the party. This evening event takes place close to 10 or 10:30 pm so definitely late for the little ones. But never fear, there are other pirate events happening a little earlier if you need to skip this late-night party. So what is Pirate Night on a Disney Cruise? Basically, it’s a reason to dress up, sing some sea shanties, and catch Mickey and Friends in their pirate costumes.

Fireworks at Sea

Pirate Night is also the evening event where Disney Cruise sets off their famous Fireworks at Sea! So, if you’re looking for extra fun, be sure to take the time and head to Deck 11 for the Pirate Night party on the FunnelVision deck. 

Themed Nights on Select Itineraries

Depending on what time of year you sail, and which season it is you may get a special evening event that isn’t Pirate Night! On the Disney Wonder Alaska cruise, you can enjoy the Frozen Deck Party. Or on a specialty cruise, the Pixar Pals party. Seasonal parties include the Very Merrytime Cruise , Halloween on the High Seas ,  and New Year’s Eve events. 

One of the best parts of any Disney Cruise is the bonus of getting to see live performances from visiting musicians and performers. While these performances are on the schedule in the My Disney Experience app, you will also see these performances as a treat on your way to dinner. Especially as most of the performers do take the main stage in the lobby throughout the cruise, and are hard to miss! That said, you can also catch more private performances in any of the Disney Lounges throughout the boat if you’re looking for something special. 

Games, Trivia, Bingo, Tastings, and More

Just like all Disney Cruises, the Disney Wonder features a variety of fun activities you can do throughout the day, often found in Disney Cruise Lounges . Players of Bingo can tackle the Bingo cards almost daily for a chance to win prizes and money. Meanwhile, there are other activities all over the boat, including a variety of Disney Trivia events, Towel Friends Classes, the Anyone Can Cook series, and more. But maybe making your own apple strudel sounds like a chore. Perhaps, just aim for a wine tasting instead. The liqueur-based activities are for an additional fee, but for the most part, activities are free! 

The Golden Mickeys show on the Disney Wonder Cruise

Disney Wonder Broadway Style Shows

Featuring Broadway Style Shows, opposite your dinner hour, a Disney Cruise offers showstopping entertainment. With classics from Disney films, to original productions featuring the themes of magic, adventure, friendship, believing, and more, these are always a treat while onboard. 

Frozen, A Musical Spectacular

This Frozen show takes place in the Walt Disney Theatre and shows the world of Frozen, featuring Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, and friends. A wonderful Broadway-style show, this show is a must-see and takes place opposite your dinner time for one evening during your trip. 

Disney Dreams- An Enchanted Classic

Featuring classic Disney storytelling this show is about a girl named Marie who needs to learn what it means to believe. With some help from Peter Pan, songs and stories from Lion King, Tangled, Cinderella, Aladdin, and more help her along. Great for both kids and adults, this is a Disney Cruise Show classic not to be missed. 

The Golden Mickeys

Join Disney characters for a larger-than-life Hollywood-style spectacular featuring a tribute to Disney films and songs, complete with the red carpet. And honoring our favorite heroes and villains. 

Walt disney theater on Disney Fantasy Cruise

Disney Wonder Entertainment Theaters

On the Disney Wonder, the Disney Cruise Broadway-style shows take place inside the Walt Disney Theater. First-run films are also often shown in this two-story theater. The secondary theater on the Disney Wonder is the Buena Vista Theater which shows films throughout the day, and seasonal movies when sailing a specialty cruise. 

New Release Movies

A bonus of any Disney Cruise Line vacation is the chance to see a feature film, currently in theaters, while onboard. On our most recent cruise, we were able to see Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and The Little Mermaid (live-action). It is typical for the ships to offer two main, current theatrical features, and then a slew of Disney Plus content as well. So, if you’re looking for some downtime, you’re sure to find something great playing in the theaters. 

FunnelVision

Another mainstay of any Disney Cruise is the ability to watch Disney movies ALL DAY LONG up on deck on the FunnelVision screen. On the Disney Wonder, FunnelVision can be found on Deck 9, alongside Cabanas, drink stations, quick-serve restaurants, and ice cream. Disney films like Sleeping Beauty, Wreck-it Ralph, and Pirates of the Caribbean are all part of the lineup on the big screen. Simply grab a chair, and settle in. For the most part, films run all day, with the exception of party or event times, and are a great reason to take a break and relax. 

Disney Cruise Line Silver Anniversary Shimmering Seas

Disney Characters Onboard the Disney Wonder

As with any Disney Cruise, you get the chance to not only see your favorite Disney characters in the deck shows but also meet them in the halls and at photo spots. Disney characters included in the Disney Wonder were all the ones you would expect! Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto are all part of the fun. And princesses like Tiana, Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, and Mulan showed up too! Be sure to check out the Royal Princess Gathering onboard if you’re looking to snap pics of all the princesses. 

Disney Cruise Line Disney Magic

Disney Wonder Dining

Dining on any Disney Cruise typically requires guests to dress for dinner, at least a little. As a family cruise, basic cruise wear, or “cruise casual” is accepted of course but know that on the Disney Wonder, there is Formal Night, Semi-Formal Night, and Pirate Night. All of which may require some strategic packing. Be sure to check out the Disney Cruise Dining Attire for your cruise length. 

Daisy De lites Disney Wonder Counter Service Restaurants

Disney Wonder Quick Service Restaurants

The Disney Wonder has several quick-service restaurants that you can find on Deck 9.  

  • Cabanas: This counter-service restaurant on the Disney Wonder offers an array of foods including burgers, fries, meats, pasta dishes, salad bars, breakfast stations, and more. Everything you need for any meal. Cabanas has set hours and is typically closed during dinner times, so be sure to check the cruise navigator for hours. 
  • Pete’s Boiler Bites: American quick serve, this counter serves up burgers, veggie burgers, brats, hot dogs, chicken tenders, and fries. 
  • Pinocchio’s Pizzeria: Freshly made pizza is served up daily at this pizzeria, and offered in cheese, pepperoni, veggie, and Margherita. 
  • Daisy De-Lites: This counter-service restaurant includes fresh wraps, fruits, bagels, build-your-own bowls, and a nice variety of fresh foods to grab and go as needed. 
  • Eye Scream Treats: Free Ice Cream on Disney cruises is such a perk! This soft serve is offered up in a variety of flavors and is open for most of the day. 
  • Sully’s Sips: Specialty smoothies are available here for an extra charge, but combine Greek yogurt and fruits, and is a great way to get something healthy during your sailing. 

disney wonder cruise adult programs

Disney Wonder Rotational Dining Restaurants

One of Disney Cruise Line’s signature services is Rotational Dining on a Disney Cruise, which can sometimes get confusing. Guests can choose and are ultimately assigned a first or second seating. First Seating is typically around 6:00 pm and the Second Seating is around 8:15 pm. Though these times can vary 15 minutes before or after this time.

Once you know your seating, you’ll simply show up at the assigned restaurant at that time every night throughout your trip. Know that the evening showtimes are also at these times. So if you have a first seating assignment, your showtime will be later, and if you have a second seating your showtime will be earlier. The restaurants included in the rotational dining on the Disney Wonder are as follows.

disney cruise tips castaway club

Animator’s Palate

A classic on most Disney Cruise Ships, Animators Palate on the Disney Wonder features a beautiful white theme that includes screens on the walls, playing Disney animations from the best Disney movies. This is a wonderful restaurant featuring interesting decor and a wonderful homage to the art of animation. While there are no performances at this restaurant, you can delight in the scenes on the walls of animation in action, shown on television portrait screens. Plus there is an interactive element to this restaurant experience that allows guests to draw their own characters which are later animated onscreen, which is very cool.

At some point during dinner, you will see the Drawn into Magic show, which highlights Disney storytelling and commences in a finale of transformation, splashing the black and white interior of the restaurant with digital color. The cuisine includes foods from the Pacific Islands, including Asian and Californian fare, and is a fan favorite among most Disney cruisers. On Deck 4. Read our Animator’s Palate Review.

Tiana's Place on the Disney wonder cruise ship

Tiana’s Place

Head down to the bayou for some cooking, and entertainment, straight out of New Orleans. This specialty restaurant is all about Tiana, Ray, and the jazz band at Tiana’s Place. We love the food here, and the show is spectacular! This will surely be your favorite Disney Cruise restaurant while onboard. A real Tiana’s Place, like her dreams from the Princess and the Frog film, Tiana performs with her band onstage throughout dinner. Dress is casual and the kids can pop into a mini parade with the jazz band around the restaurant. Featuring Louisiana-inspired creole and cajun, you can find Tiana’s Place on Deck 3. Read our Tiana’s Place Review .

Triton’s

One of the main restaurants on the Disney Wonder cruise, Tritons features a beautiful wall mural of Triton and Ariel. Located as you enter the boat on Deck 3, Tritons is often open on Embarkation Day for families wanting to ease into their cruise with a sit-down lunch. This restaurant features American cuisine with a bit of French flair and is a great low-key restaurant for any meal you want when you’re not just grabbing the quick service meals! Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner you can eat here throughout your cruise. Located on Deck 3. Read our Tritons Restaurant Review. 

Palo Restaurant Views on Disney Wonder

Disney Wonder Adult-Only Restaurants

One of the best things for Adults to do on a Disney Cruise is to make a special night out to one of the Disney Adult-Only Restaurants, and the Disney Wonder has  Keep in mind these are 18+ and do have a dress code. These meals are NOT included in your Disney Cruise Package, so you must reserve them ahead of time. Guests may only book ONE dinner in advance for Palo. However, if your Palo night is the first night of your cruise, you are able to make a second reservation at Palo on another night of your cruise. 

This Adult Only signature restaurant onboard the Disney Wonder is Palo. Offering a 270-degree oven view this restaurant has the best views on the ship. Featuring Northern Italian cuisine, this restaurant is considered a must-do for Disney Adult Cruisers at least once. Serving a multi-course dinner, dessert, and champagne event, as well as a specialty brunch, there are plenty of options. Dinner at Palo is typically $70 per person for the prix fixe menu and $45 for brunch. Given the spectacular views, we recommend aiming for brunch or an early dinner hour so you can see all there is to see. Check out all the offerings available during your cruise at Palo Restaurant . Remember that Palo must be booked in advance and is not included in your cruise costs. It will be billed to you separately.

Disney Cruise Line Tips, Disney Cruise Line, what to do on a disney cruise

Disney Wonder Lounges

The Disney Wonder Cruise is home to five lounges! Most of these lounges host daytime activities for families, like games, Bingo, trivia, and more. In the evenings, usually after 6 pm some of the lounges transition to adult-only ( 18+). Here are all the details for each lounge, and the themes you can find in each. We highly recommend exploring these spaces just for fun. As they are beautiful and unique.

D Lounge on Disney Cruise Ship Disney Wonder

D Lounge | Deck 4

The main lounge on the Disney Wonder for all the larger activities, with the exception of Bingo which happens in Azure, D Lounge has ample seating and a center stage area for all the things that may be offered throughout the day. Trivia, the Anyone Can Cook class, and family activities. 

French Quarter Lounge on the Disney Wonder

This Disney Lounge even includes several decorative pieces with nods to everyone’s favorite British imports; Mary Poppins, 101 Dalmatians, and Peter Pan can all be spotted. The Crown and Fin Pub is located in the After Hours section of the ship on Deck 3 Forward. 

Cadillac Lounge on the Disney Wonder

Cadillac Lounge | Deck 3

Nassau, Bahamas

Our first Disney Cruise was to Nassau, Bahamas on the Disney Wonder. The first cruise for many Disney Cruisers, the Bahamas is an easy destination to experience. It’s not too far, is a budget-friendly Disney Cruise, and doesn’t require much. Complete with a few beaches, and Bahamians selling their wares, there are a few things to do at Nassau. As a result of our fairly unorganized vacation to Nassau Bahamas, we have a few tips for a Disney Cruise to Nassau Bahamas. The big one is, to book the excursions. While this little port town offers up a couple of nearby sites, like shops, a pirate museum, and a beach, it’s still foreign enough for you to wonder why you got off the boat if you don’t know what you’re doing. Read our Disney Wonder Nassau, Bahamas Cruise Review for ideas. 

Helicopter excursion in Skagway on a Disney Cruise to Alaska

Alaska 

The Disney Wonder also stakes claim as the Disney Cruise Ship visiting Alaska. Complete with sweeping landscapes, glaciers, mush runs, seaplane excursions, and totem parks, this is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of trip with several ports of call at your disposal. Sailing Alaska’s inner passage this trip offers a couple of days at sea and stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and sometimes Sitka. Check out our Disney Alaska Cruise Guide , and How to Plan a Disney Cruise to Alaska for your best tips on saving money, and what to do at each port throughout your trip. 

Castaway Cay Activities

Castaway Cay

Castaway Cay is Disney’s Private Island, and luckily, is on the Disney Wonder itinerary as a port of call for a whole day! By far one of our favorite stops on any Disney Cruise. With things like snorkeling, bike riding, and inner-tubing, there is plenty to do on your Castaway Cay day. You can also book excursion packages for boating, water bikes, and other special activities. Check out our Castaway Cay Guide to get an idea of everything you can do on the island.

Castaway Cay Disney Cruise

Castaway Cay 5K 

If you’re Disney Cruise Itinerary includes a stop at Castaway Cay, then be sure to check out the Castaway Cay 5K race! This self-paced 5K brings you through the trails on Castaway Cay and is perfect for both kids and adults. You can walk or run it, and simply have to sign in at the bike rental kiosk on the island to get started. Once you complete your 5K, you can collect your Castaway Cay 5K Medal to take home. We love this as a meaningful Free Disney Cruise Souvenir, and since it’s part of an experience, one that you should proudly display! While not an official runDisney marathon race, we still loved this activity as a way to see the island and give us a bit of a challenge. 

Castaway Cay 5k 

Disney Wonder Adult Things to Do

In addition to the Adult-Only Restaurants, there are plenty of things to do onboard a Disney Cruise for Adults. If you’re looking for some things to do on your Disney Cruise, here are a few of our favorites. 

Adult-Only Cruise Activities ( 18+)

To our surprise, there was a plethora of Disney Cruise Activities on the Disney Wonder that were ONLY for adults ( 18+). And not necessarily because they had anything to do with alcohol! Some classes, trivia, and games were only open to adults, alongside a variety of cocktails and wine tastings. 

Castaway Cay Serenity Bay

Once on Castaway Cay, you can head to the far beach, called Serenity Bay. This sparkling beach includes access to a bar, eatery, and stretches of beach filled with loungers and umbrellas. Notably less crowded than the family beaches, if you’re looking for a place to get away, head to Serenity Bay. Check out everything you can do on Castaway Cay for Adults . 

Disney Cruise Drink of the Day

One of our favorite things on any Disney Cruise is checking out the Drinks of the Day. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options are available, and they usually include something fruity and fun! You can check the selections each day in your Disney Cruise app and grab these drinks at any bar counter. We also loved that they shared the ingredients in the descriptions so that we can make Disney Cruise Drinks at home too! And if you’re sailing in cold weather, check out one of our favorite Disney Cruise cocktails from the Very Merrytime Cruise , the  Disney Cruise Christmas Cookie Cocktails . Yum!

The adult deck on a Disney Cruise is reserved for adults 18+ and fills up fast! While this deck is smaller, it still has a few bars, lots of loungers, and pools in which to hang out. We didn’t spend a ton of time in this area, but for the adults who did, it was a daily ritual. If you’re hoping to claim your spot on the adult deck, head to your lounger early, and settle in. This area is busy all day but is conveniently located near anything you need. Including coffee, smoothies, food, bars, and even the gym and spa. 

Lounges 

Another treat on the Disney Wonder was that there were so many Disney Cruise Lounges , all impeccably themed! Of course, you find this same level of detail and attention in all the cruise lounges.

Smooth sailing on a family Disney cruise: Review of Concierge level on the Disney Wonder

Summer Hull

Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .

Cruising with Disney , it seems, is even more fun the second time around -- especially with an upgrade to more spiffy quarters.

Almost a year ago, we had a successful sailing on the Disney Dream out of Florida, so we booked another Disney cruise to start 2020. This time we only needed a two-hour drive from home in Houston to hop aboard the ship in the Port of Galveston. No airplanes were involved on our journey across the sea to Mexico on the Disney Wonder, one of the two original ships in Disney's fleet. I can't overstate how fantastic it was to just drive to the port, board a ship and go. No TSA 3.4-ounce limits on liquids or the five-hour flight delays that had plagued our last few trips.

The Disney Wonder is noticeably smaller than the Disney Dream we sailed on previously. The Wonder has 875 cabins and room for up to 2,700 passengers, as opposed to the larger Dream's 1,250 staterooms and capacity for up to 4,000 guests. I was curious as to whether the smaller, older Disney ship would feel like a lesser experience.

disney cruise wonder pools

For this cruise, we splurged on the Disney Concierge level in the hope of eliminating some of the disappointments of our first Disney cruise. To say I was excited for our trip is a dramatic understatement, and the experience largely lived up to my highest expectations.

Disney cruises are expensive and there aren't many ways to use points for booking, although you can certainly earn a ton of points by booking with the right credit card.

You can earn 3x points per dollar by putting the travel charge on your Chase Sapphire Reserve, which I did.

To use points on a Disney cruise, the easiest way is to make payments with a card that has fixed-value points you can use for travel . This includes the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card (currently with a bonus of 75,000 bonus miles after you spend $4,000 on purchases within the first three months of account opening. (worth $750 in travel). Here are some additional tips for using points when booking a cruise .

Although deals and redemptions are scarce, you can purchase Disney gift cards at a discount and then use them toward your cruise. It won't cut the price in half, but you can save 5-10%, depending on available offers and how hard you work on stacking them.

If you have the Disney Visa , you can save on board with discounts on spa treatments, Castaway Cay packages and photo packages. You can also get a promotional 0% introductory APR for six months on select Disney vacation packages from the date of purchase charged to the card (then a variable APR of 19.24% to 28.24% applies), if you need a little breathing room to pay off all that shrimp and magic. However, in terms of earning or using points, the Disney Visa isn't actually the best card out there, even for a Disney cruise.

disney cruise wonder pools

On our first Disney cruise, my family of four booked two connecting staterooms to meet our needs for sufficient sleeping quarters and living space. Two cabins aren't necessary for a family of four sailing on Disney, but they were necessary for my family's sanity. We don't sleep well crammed into one small area. On this cruise, my mom came to experience her first cruise while my husband took a different trip with his dad.

We wanted to try another approach to accommodations, so we booked a one-bedroom suite instead of two staterooms. To be clear, two staterooms on Disney are almost always going to be less expensive than a one-bedroom suite. We went this route, in part, to try out Concierge level.

We've become fans of the website CruiseCompete. This site allows cruise shoppers to select the cruise that interests them and then travel agents "compete" for their business by submitting quotes via email. The base sailing price is typically the same from all sources, including Disney, but the perks and bonuses can and do vary. Our best offer was via Cruise Vacation Outlet. They offer a stateroom credit based on the cost of your cruise, which for us amounted to $750 in an onboard credit. The cruise was pricey -- very pricey -- but that's $750 we wouldn't have gotten if we'd booked directly with Disney.

Looking at prices for a similar four-night cruise from Galveston to Cozumel for next January, prices for a family of four start around $3,300 for an inside stateroom. A stateroom with a balcony starts at $3,800 and a Concierge-level stateroom starts at $5,700. A one-bedroom Concierge suite, like the one we booked, is pricing around $7,000 for the same itinerary next year -- which is about what we paid this year. These suites sleep four to five people, and are 614 square feet, including the balcony.

Embarkation

We arrived in Galveston at 11 a.m. Both times I've cruised, I've been pretty confused about where to go, where to park, where to drop off the bags, etc. There are signs, but it is a little chaotic. Once we figured out where we were supposed to be, the magic began.

disney cruise wonder pools

I dropped off the bags with Disney cruise tags that had been mailed to us after booking. (Our bags later appeared in the hall outside our stateroom a few hours after boarding.) I also dropped off my kids and Grandma so they didn't have to do the parking lot/shuttle shuffle with me. The nearest open parking lot in Galveston was not within reasonable walking distance of the ship, unlike when sailing Disney from Port Canaveral. After a quick trip back from the parking lot and paying $55 to park for four nights, we were all back together and ready to walk into the terminal. Note that not all parking lots at the Galveston Port Terminal accept guests sailing on Disney, so the official lot is probably your best bet.

disney cruise wonder pools

Inside the terminal, guests are guided by cheerful employees wearing big white Mickey Mouse gloves. You go through a security check reminiscent of an airport, but with shorter lines and fewer restrictions.

Next up is the Disney Cruise Line check-in desk. This is where our Concierge perks kicked in. We were able to walk right up to a special section with no wait.

disney cruise wonder pools

Our passports were checked again and we were given our "keys to the world." These keycards serve as room keys and ship IDs. They also provide kids club access and charging privileges on the ship. You don't have to wear them on a lanyard around your neck, but it's the easiest way to keep track of them. It wasn't until the end of the cruise that I realized our gold-colored cards meant Concierge level. This made them easy to spot by the crew as most of the keys are blue.

Once we were through all the formalities, we had a brief wait. The waiting areas aren't fancy, though Concierge guests do have their own area and can board first -- just after the Disney-selected "family of the day."

disney cruise wonder pools

My family was the third to board the ship, at 11:45 a.m. This was hours earlier than we were able to board on our first Disney cruise . I think my mom was overwhelmed with excitement and about ready to cry, which was pretty awesome. She grew up near the water on the Gulf Coast, watching ships her whole life, but this was her first time to step foot on anything larger than a car ferry.

disney cruise wonder pools

All families are greeted by name as they board a Disney cruise. We were immediately invited to have lunch in Tiana's restaurant, which was reserved for Concierge guests for this meal. However, we had other plans.

On our first Disney cruise, there was almost always a long line for the waterslide and the pools were crowded, so our goal was to enjoy those amenities first thing before the ship was full of more than 2,000 guests.

disney cruise wonder pools

One quick stop for snacks in the Concierge lounge later, the girls changed into their swimsuits (kept in our carry-on bags) and away we went to start the fun.

Much more on the pools and slide later, but the plan worked. My two girls enjoyed the water features on this sailing for at least an hour and we didn't see another guest during that time.

disney cruise wonder pools

Laugh if you want, but it was my turn to tear up when I saw our suite: Number 8048.

Regular Disney staterooms are more than fine (and we will probably opt for them when we are lucky enough to cruise with Disney), but the suite was special. Seeing it brought together months of anticipation about the voyage. Square footage is at a serious premium on a cruise ship, so to have two full rooms, two bathrooms and some extra nooks and crannies was really, really cool.

disney cruise wonder pools

When you enter the suite, there is a bathroom with a toilet and shower immediately to your right.

On the left is a good-sized row of closets, drawers and shelves. This provides storage when the living portion becomes a bedroom.

disney cruise wonder pools

Past the entry hallway, there is a dining table for four and wet bar with a minibar underneath stocked with soda and water. These are all included, so drink up. You can also refill it as much as you'd like from the large fridge in the Concierge lounge.

disney cruise wonder pools

The couch was transformed into a bed each evening by the stateroom staff. They do their best to meet with you on the first day to find out what you prefer for sleeping arrangements.

disney cruise wonder pools

The living room has its own balcony access and TV with Disney movies and shows on demand.

A sliding door separates the living area from the bedroom area. (The door was quite loud. Even in moderate seas, if you tried to shut it all the way, it banged in its tracks all night.)

disney cruise wonder pools

The queen-size bed in the bedroom area was quite comfortable.There is room for luggage to be stored underneath. (Though that's not how I store luggage anymore .)

disney cruise wonder pools

A twin-size bed is against the wall across from the TV and next to the queen bed.

disney cruise wonder pools

Pro tip: You can ask your stateroom hosts to provide cartoon sheets for the twin-size beds.

disney cruise wonder pools

Rounding out the bedroom is another door that opens onto the large veranda and a second TV.

Between the bedroom and the main bathroom area is a small, but extremely functional, desk area next to the main closet. We used this to store and charge all the electronics. It really helped keep the whole family's smaller items organized.

disney cruise wonder pools

Finally, there is the master bathroom. The bath area off of the master bedroom features a full-size tub and vanity.

disney cruise wonder pools

The shower and toilet occupy separate spaces in another section.

disney cruise wonder pools

Bath amenities are provided in large bottles of the Disney's H2O+ line that you could move from the shower to the bathtub, as needed.

You can't talk about the stateroom without talking about the great stateroom hosts. They cleaned the room and put away the extra beds each morning. Then, while we were out to dinner and a show, they magically transformed it back into a clean, calm space for sleeping. Only once during the cruise did they accidentally try to work their magic while we were in the room -- and that was our fault because we changed dining times at the last minute so we could take a nap.

disney cruise wonder pools

Overall, this space worked well for our party of four, but it is worth noting that on Deck 8 we heard a fair amount of noise at times, mostly from kids running on the outdoor Deck 9 area above. We were also able to hear when a young child in the room next to ours was crying, which thankfully was only a passing issue at times.

Ports of call

Our four-night itinerary on the Disney Wonder was:

  • Galveston, Texas
  • Cozumel, Mexico
  • Return to Galveston

disney cruise wonder pools

Our only true port of call was Cozumel, which I was excited to see. I love much of the beautiful Cancun/Playa del Carmen area but hadn't been to Cozumel.

Day 1: Galveston

We spent the first few hours on the ship playing in the pool, eventually enjoying the Concierge lunch in Tiana's, registering in the kid's clubs and exploring. Around 4 p.m. it was time for the fun to officially begin with the "Sail Away" party.

While my mom went to the front of the ship to watch us pull away from the dock, an important moment for her, the girls and I went to a singing, dancing, laughing character-fueled party on deck.

disney cruise wonder pools

I highly recommend this show; it was a ton of pumped-up fun. We missed it on our first cruise, in part because we just hadn't fully settled into the ship yet.

disney cruise wonder pools

Drinks are for sale everywhere on deck leading up to this party, if you want to raise a glass to the start of your vacation.

disney cruise wonder pools

Day 2: At sea

If you follow our adventures, you may already know that my youngest daughter and I both are prone to motion sickness . We were both mostly unfazed by our first Disney cruise, but not this time.

On our first full day at sea, I felt like drunk death for the first half of the day despite being 100% sober. My youngest daughter didn't feel great either. The captain described the sea as moderate in his daily announcements, but when pool water doesn't stay in the pool because the waves are so big, I call it more than moderately yucky. The remedy was some time on deck and Dramamine.

disney cruise wonder pools

With our sea legs a bit sturdier, it was time to meet some characters and take in a movie. On a Disney cruise, some characters (like the princesses) require advance free reservations, while others are available for walk-up meet-and-greets.

disney cruise wonder pools

The classic princesses gather in the ship's main atrium while the Frozen princesses gather in a transformed Animator's Palate.

disney cruise wonder pools

To see characters for whom you don't have reservations, you can beat the lines by having one adult stand near where the character's published appearance is (arrive 10-15 minutes early) and hold the place for the rest of the family to join.

disney cruise wonder pools

Day 3: Cozumel

Using some of the $750 stateroom credit, I booked a port excursion through Disney that included three stops during our one port day in Mexico: Mayan ruins, Mayan chocolate and Playa Mia Beach Club. It was $55 for kids, $69 for adults and sounded great since it had a little bit of everything.

We met our group at 10:15 a.m. and left the ship with them by 10:30 a.m. The tour operator took the group on a 30-minute bus ride to the Mayan ruins.

disney cruise wonder pools

There was plenty to see to entertain impatient children for an hour, but our tour guide did more talking in one or two spots than really guiding the group to explore the area. About halfway through our time, we peeled off from the main group so we could see more of the area, which was wise given our interests.

disney cruise wonder pools

Next up was a 30- to 40-minute drive to the location of the chocolate and beach break. The chocolate was very good with many varieties available for tasting in the gift shop. My favorite part was a sample of homemade corn tortillas with mole sauce -- I wish there had been more opportunities like that on the tour.

disney cruise wonder pools

Finally, after spending about $40 for chocolate bars to take home, we had 90 minutes at the Playa Mia Beach Club. Lunch was not included in our package, but it was close to 2 p.m. and we were hungry. By this point in the afternoon, the buffet looked less than great to me, so we ordered off the menu. The food was served in an area that could hold hundreds of people at one time and it wasn't great (the margarita was undrinkable and awful), but we survived.

disney cruise wonder pools

The last hour of the excursion was spent in the pools and on the beach. We didn't fully explore the waterpark area, and the beach was less than glamorous.

disney cruise wonder pools

I didn't love the way we spent our time on Cozumel. I didn't hate it either, but there probably are better beaches and much better food in the area. Our tour returned to the ship about 15 minutes before the all-aboard time, so almost as soon as we were back on the ship, we were pulling away from Cozumel.

disney cruise wonder pools

Pirate Night is held aboard ship during the evening after spending the day in Mexico, making for a pretty full day. So full that we begged to change our dinner to the late dinner so we could work in a nap before the nighttime fun.

disney cruise wonder pools

You want to go all-in on Pirate Night. Trust me, your kids will love it. The meals that evening are all pirate-themed, there are pirate games and then a big pirate show.

disney cruise wonder pools

There's dancing, pirating, battling and eventually, a fireworks show. Full warning, though, this fun goes on way past normal bedtime, so plan ahead with naps.

disney cruise wonder pools

Day 3: At sea

On the third day we spa-ed, saw another movie, did a tequila and margarita tasting and ate Mickey bars, lots of Mickey bars. We were legitimately on vacation.

disney cruise wonder pools

The tequila and margarita tasting was in the Cadillac Bar and Lounge and wasn't quite what I had hoped for. It was much more tequila and much less margarita. Only go to this one if you are a fan of hard liquor, which I'm not.

disney cruise wonder pools

Even if you are on a shorter cruise, be sure to devote a full day just to exploring the ship and enjoying movies and more. Other than the big-ish waves at first, I was thankful to have two sea days on this cruise; our first cruise had none.

disney cruise wonder pools

You are paying a premium to cruise with Disney, so make the most out of what is included on the ship.

disney cruise wonder pools

You don't actually have to get off the Disney ship at all to have a full family vacation. From basketball to pools and waterslides to shows to the spa to kids clubs and more -- there are tons and tons of amenities, most of which are included in your base sailing price.

Pools and slides

On the Disney Wonder, there are three main pool areas for guests. There's the adults-only pool, the main pool and a smaller kid-friendly pool nearest the waterslide and splash area. Children still in diapers are not permitted in the pools, but can go into the splash area with swim diapers.

disney cruise wonder pools

Here's the thing: The pools are small and they aren't as useable as you might think. We headed straight for the pools as soon as we got onboard this time around to avoid the crowds we experienced on our first Disney cruise. That strategy worked great, and indeed that first hour was the only hour we spent in the pools on our cruise. I won't post the photo of what it looks like when 15 people are in one hot tub, but you can imagine it for yourself.

disney cruise wonder pools

Not only did the pools and slide get much busier at times, but on our first full day at sea, the water essentially sloshed out of most of the pools because it was so choppy. As shown below, the waterslide was still open on that sea day, but the line stretched all the way down the stairs.

disney cruise wonder pools

Only one person at a time can go down the slide and you must be 38 inches or taller. My 4-year-old was tall enough by several inches, but the solo-sliding requirement made her decide to stay in the splash zone.

disney cruise wonder pools

The adult-pool area had lots of swimmers and hot-tubbers at some times but was generally less busy than the family areas.

disney cruise wonder pools

There are four or five different kids clubs on the Disney Wonder, depending on how you count. The largest, busiest two clubs are the Disney Oceaneer Club and Lab -- designed for children ages 3-12.

disney cruise wonder pools

The two clubs are on Deck 5 and are connected by a "secret" passageway. The clubs are free for kids in that age range, though they do need to be potty-trained and one-on-one care is not provided. These connected kids clubs have a slide, a video-game area, a Marvel-themed area, Andy's playroom area, craft areas, movies, games, activities and character visits.

disney cruise wonder pools

Your child's exact location within the club is tracked with what looks like a Disney Magic Band, and you can check them in and out at will. The only time parents are allowed to actually hang out in this club is during designated open-house hours.

disney cruise wonder pools

On our first cruise, my girls (then 3 and 9) had a blast in these clubs and begged to return together again and again. However, I made a strategic error this time.

disney cruise wonder pools

The tween club, Edge, is for kids 11-14, but I made the mistake of discovering that 10-year-olds can go to Edge with parent approval. I gave that approval and then my 10-year-old never wanted to go back to the "little kid club." Ever. This created lots of heartache for my 4-year-old who felt left behind. As a result, kids club time for her was not nearly as easy a sell on this cruise.

disney cruise wonder pools

My 10-year-old, however, never wanted to leave Edge; she enjoyed hanging with the "big kids." Note that Edge is a come-and-go space without a parental check-in process. We did have some issues with my daughter not being where I thought she would be courtesy of that newfound ship freedom.

Lesson learned: Perhaps you should hide the fact that 10-year-olds can visit Edge, especially if you have a younger child still in the main kids clubs.

disney cruise wonder pools

For teens, there is also Vibe, for ages 14-17. Consider yourself warned: Once your kid gets a taste of the clubs for older children, they may want nothing to do with the more supervised clubs for the young ones.

disney cruise wonder pools

There are two types of shows on the Disney Wonder, the nighttime Broadway-caliber shows and Disney movies. The nighttime shows are scheduled opposite your dining time. This means if you have early dinner, you go to the late show, and vice versa. Of course, you are free to mix this up by not going to your regular seating for dinner and instead ordering room service, going to a grab-and-go food station or the Cabanas buffet.

On our cruise, nighttime shows included "Golden Mickeys" and "Frozen" -- both of which are excellent.

disney cruise wonder pools

The Walt Disney Theatre has open seating, so you should get there 15-20 minutes before shows start for better seats. But here's a problem for families: There's no way to enjoy meals in the regular dining rooms (which are very good), see the shows and get to bed at a reasonable hour.

Some pretty cool offerings, like Pirate Night, don't even start until 10 p.m. or later. This isn't a big deal the first day or two of the cruise, but by the end of the cruise, I saw full-scale meltdowns everywhere. I'd love to see more matinee showings of the nighttime shows so families can make the most of their cruise and still get kids to bed at reasonable times. This was offered once, with "Frozen," but typically those with early dinner times (like us) end up going to shows that don't start until 8:30 p.m.

disney cruise wonder pools

One of my favorite things to do on a Disney cruise is see a movie. It feels luxurious to walk right in and enjoy a first-run movie. On this cruise they were showing movies such as "Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker," "Maleficent 2" and "Frozen 2." Those in Concierge level can pick up sodas in the lounge and free popcorn at the shop right outside the theater. Otherwise, a bucket of popcorn is about $3.50.

There are two movie theaters on the Disney Wonder and some of the showings are in 3-D.

disney cruise wonder pools

The Senses Spa is located in the forward area of Deck 9 on the Disney Wonder, which means that parts of the spa -- like the salon area -- have some great unobstructed ocean views.

Although I've seen some discounts on the spa during port days in the past, I didn't notice any this time. However, we still had some of that stateroom credit to use, so we happily made a few spa appointments for the last full day of the cruise.

My 50-minute massage was, in short, exceptional. It's hard to judge a whole spa on one service, but it really was great.

disney cruise wonder pools

The spa treatment room wasn't overly impressive, nor was the area where you change clothes and shower. In fact, there was a line for the two showers at one point. However, the treatment was good enough that I didn't care about the rest. A small warning: They will try to sell you products unless you make it clear you're not interested.

My mom and I also had shampoo/blow-dry appointments in the spa and we both enjoyed them.

If you want some relaxation without paying for full spa services, you can purchase access to the Rainforest area of the spa. During our cruise, it was $29 per day if you purchased access onboard. It is likely cheaper if you buy access online ahead of time. This will also protect you from a potential sell-out which wasn't an issue on this cruise, but can happen. You can also buy a multi-day pass if you want to make this a part of your daily cruising routine.

disney cruise wonder pools

This tranquil room has heated stone loungers, aromatherapy steam and showers with different temperatures and pressures. But wait, there's more.

disney cruise wonder pools

Since you're already at the spa, you can use the full-size showers in the spa dressing rooms to clean up instead of relying solely the smaller showers in your stateroom. Beware that there may be a wait for the changing-room showers as there are only two in the women's dressing area of the spa on the Disney Wonder. It is a solid option if you get claustrophobic and want a larger shower space.

Adult-only area

The spa isn't the only kid-free area on the Disney Wonder. You can also head to the Quiet Cove area located on Deck 9.

Here you'll find plenty of comfy lounge chairs, a main adult-only pool and two hot tubs.

disney cruise wonder pools

There's also an adult coffee shop that transforms into a bar as the day goes on.

disney cruise wonder pools

This is where you can get your cold brew fix each morning. If you plan to make multiple visits, pick up a frequent-sipper card that gives you a free specialty drink when you buy five on that particular cruise.

disney cruise wonder pools

The beverages in this shop are sold for a fee, but the pastries in the display case are free.

disney cruise wonder pools

Concierge lounge

I'm going to do a whole separate article on whether the Disney cruise Concierge level is worth it, so stay tuned for a deep dive into the service and access it conveys. But here's an overview of the lounge itself.

disney cruise wonder pools

The Concierge lounge is open from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. and serves meals and snacks at the following times:

  • Continental breakfast (7 a.m.-10:15 a.m.)
  • Lunch snacks (11:00 a.m.-1:45 p.m.)
  • Afternoon offerings (2:45 p.m.-4:15 p.m.)
  • Dinner snacks (5:00 p.m.-8:15 p.m.)
  • Dessert (9:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.)

disney cruise wonder pools

For breakfast in the lounge you will often find smoked salmon, diced fruit, muffins, pastries and these truly addictive Mickey-shaped cinnamon rolls. There's also a great coffee machine and sugar cubes shaped like Mickey's head.

disney cruise wonder pools

At lunch you'll generally find wraps, small sandwiches and single-serve desserts.

disney cruise wonder pools

In the evening, there are complimentary beverages from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. This is a big deal as alcohol is not routinely complimentary anywhere else on the ship. The bartender on our ship knew everyone's name by the second evening and was a true joy to see each night.

disney cruise wonder pools

During the evening (and during the day on the first day of the cruise), you have your pick of wine, liquor and beer. Available brands include, Tito's, Bombay Sapphire, Crown Royal, 1800, Jack Daniel's, etc.

disney cruise wonder pools

For evening snacks, there are small salads, cheese, bread and more.

disney cruise wonder pools

Having complimentary wine in the evening in a private lounge is pretty great. You can get a glass to take to dinner or your stateroom too.

disney cruise wonder pools

Second perhaps to the adult beverages, my favorite lounge offering was the stocked fridge -- which you can raid. This means you can have drinks on hand in your stateroom, to take on excursions and enjoy around the ship. There's bottled water, sparkling water, Coke products, juice and juice boxes. I didn't count how many drinks we consumed over the course of a four-night cruise, but a couple dozen is a fair estimate.

disney cruise wonder pools

A cool event in the Concierge lounge was a special meet-and-greet with a surprise Disney character after the Cozumel port day. On our cruise, the special character was Stitch, but I believe it varies from cruise to cruise. There was a line to meet the character, but it was no more than five minutes while we were there.

disney cruise wonder pools

In addition to the main indoor area, the Concierge lounge on the Disney Wonder has a private bathroom just outside the entrance, as well as an upper-deck outdoor area that overlooks the adult-pool area.

disney cruise wonder pools

Food and beverage

Main restaurants.

The Disney Wonder has three main restaurants. These are included in your cruising price and your serving team rotates with you each night. For example, they remembered that my oldest daughter likes barbecue sauce with virtually everything and had it ready at subsequent meals.

The newest restaurant option on the Disney Wonder is Tiana's, a New Orleans-themed restaurant.

disney cruise wonder pools

This restaurant is an absolute party. We enjoyed shrimp and grits, lobster salad, beignets and way too much fluffy bread.

disney cruise wonder pools

But that's not even the best part. The best part is the live music, dancing and general merry-making that is the theme of this restaurant.

disney cruise wonder pools

We missed the main meal in Animator's Palate as we dined at the adults-only Palo that night. We were able to enjoy Animator's Palate during Pirate Night, but it's not the same experience. Rumor has it that the restaurant transforms from black and white to color as the main meal goes on. We'll have to catch it next time.

disney cruise wonder pools

We enjoyed Animator's Palate during the pirate-themed night with shrimp, crab cakes, noodles, jerk chicken with red beans and rice ... and the requisite kid meal: macaroni with chicken strips. Your kids can order whatever they want from the menu, but my 4-year-old happily stuck to a narrow list of options.

disney cruise wonder pools

All the restaurants were good, but Triton's was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't as fun or themed as the others. If you want to skip one, this is it.

disney cruise wonder pools

Still, we managed to eat our weight in seafood.

disney cruise wonder pools

As you are ordering your courses, know that on a Disney cruise, included dessert is never more than a request away. In fact, the servers often insist you at least try it. And in that case, we all know calories don't count.

disney cruise wonder pools

Quick service

There are a multitude of included quick-service dining options -- pizza, chicken fingers, burgers, hot dogs, chili bowls, ice cream, salads, gyros and more. Basically, no one will ever go hungry.

disney cruise wonder pools

For lunch, we usually went to the Cabanas buffet which is open for three meals per day -- plus late into the night on Pirate Night. Cabanas has everything from chicken fingers to ham, stir-fry, seafood, salad, fruit, calamari and dozens of other selections.

disney cruise wonder pools

Room service

I'm a sucker for room-service breakfast and thankfully it's included for all guests on a Disney cruise. The only catch is that the menu is continental. Donuts, muffins, beverages and cereal are no problem, but there's nothing hot (or particularly healthy) on the included menu.

disney cruise wonder pools

However, a perk of Concierge level is that Concierge guests can order from the Triton's breakfast menu and have hot items delivered to the room. We ordered omelettes, Mickey waffles, bacon, sausage, yogurt parfaits, hashbrowns and more.

disney cruise wonder pools

Note that although normal room service was always delivered during the time I selected on the door hanger the night before, our one special room-service order from Triton's took a long time to arrive. That may be a fluke, but budget at least an hour for delivery. Once it arrived, it was perfect.

disney cruise wonder pools

Last, but far from least, ordering ice cream Mickey bars from room service is a must-do. There's no fee for this (other than an optional tip) -- so your kids may want to make this a part of your daily cruise routine. Our oldest daughter learned how to order the bars herself on our previous cruise ... and put those skills to use on this one. (Just be careful what you wear when eating a melting Mickey bar -- something in these bars is very hard to get out of clothes.)

disney cruise wonder pools

There's no better meal on the Disney Wonder than Palo. This is an 18-an-up restaurant that requires reservations and costs an additional $40 per person. We couldn't get into Palo on our first cruise as Disney newbies because it was already booked by passengers who had access to advance reservations. First-time cruisers are at the bottom of the advance-booking food chain. But this time, Concierge-level access made it happen, and with the kids together in the kids club (at my insistence) my mom and I dined so well that we went into a legit food coma.

disney cruise wonder pools

Our reservation was at sunset, a visual treat. People also dress up more here, which raised the ambience a notch or two over Pirate Night.

disney cruise wonder pools

The service was out-of-this-world exceptional. And the food, well, I'll crave it forever.

disney cruise wonder pools

Palo is an Italian-themed restaurant. On the menu you'll find everything from heirloom tomatoes and mozzarella to tableside antipasti to grilled lobster with pasta, to calamari to handmade gnocchi to scallops to the best meat on the ship (per the chef) -- the prime beef tenderloin.

disney cruise wonder pools

Every bite was rich and succulent, but my favorites were the butternut squash agnolotti and chocolate souffle (both shown below). Once you pay your $40 fee, you can order away at no additional charge, which can be quite the bargain considering some items on the list. What a wonderful experience this was.

disney cruise wonder pools

Finally, the ship has bars and an entire area devoted to adults, though kids can enter some of these spaces at times. Outside Tiana's restaurant is the French Quarter Lounge which has live music in the evenings. Kids were welcome here during our visit, though the area was never busy when we stopped by.

disney cruise wonder pools

There's an English pub, Crown & Fin, that was lively during some football playoff games. There's typically a selection of complimentary bar food at the buffet in this pub.

disney cruise wonder pools

Also in the "After Hours" portion of the ship is the previously mentioned Cadillac Lounge, where we did the tequila tasting. There is some fun live piano and jazz here in the (kid-free) evenings.

disney cruise wonder pools

Overall impression

There's a lot to take in on a four-night Disney cruise. Nothing is perfect, but our sailing was pretty darn awesome. It was admittedly very expensive, even by Disney standards. However, it was worth it. We had no worries, my mom got to come with us and it has even piqued the interest of my dad and extended family now taking their first cruises . As for me, it makes me think even bigger when it comes to cruising. Alaska is now on my radar, though likely not in Disney Concierge level as that would probably cost as much as a small car.

The Disney Wonder is a perfectly sized ship. It was large enough to keep us entertained for multiple days, but small enough that my 10-year-old could navigate it pretty well by the second day. The elevators were laughably small (we logged many flights of stairs), but otherwise it didn't feel small in any way.

I wouldn't hesitate to return to the Disney Wonder for this or a longer sailing. The only thing that may get in my way is the temptation of booking a sailing on the all-new Disney Wish when it enters the fleet.

Are pools heated on the Wonder?

Am leaving soon for trip on the Wonder and it looks like the temps the whole week will be a bit on the cooler side most of the time, like in the high 60s to low 70s range. Normally, for my family when the air temp is that low, the water is usually too cold to swim in. Is the pool water on deck heated? drnp

I believe if the temperature drops below 75 degrees then they are heated. "The pools aboard the cruise ship will be open and are heated if the temperature falls below 75 degrees Fahrenheit." https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/guest-services/cruise-packing-list/

It could end up curdled

This is the DCL ship that cruises to Alaska. They're quite accustomed to turning up the heat in the pools.

Yes they're heated and they feel NICE!  

  • Jan 2, 2016

They were not heated on the Nov. 6 sailing out of Galveston, and they were pretty chilly such that most people thought they were too cool even during the day when the sun was out. I was disappointed because they'd been nice and warm on previous Wonder cruises.  

Sorry to hear that Mareed, but that must have been a temporary problem, the pools ended up being fine on our Dec 18 sailing, and the air temp was quite cool.

They were heated when I was on in November 2014 and agin this past summer in Alaska. Very nice!

There were lots of people in the pools on our WBPC but I thought the water was too cold most days. The hot tubs were luke warm as best. It definitely had a shock factor getting in each time.  

MsOnceUponATime said: I sailed on this sailing too- the December 18th cruise and the adult pool was warmer than the hot tubs. We did let DCL know that the hot tubs weren't very hot... Click to expand...

C6PT7 said: I wonder if thats because so many kids are left unattended and go into both the adult and kids hot tubs? I think there is permissible heat levels for younger kids, and if they are invading the adult hot tubs maybe that is why? Click to expand...

We were on the Wonder last October, and found both the hot tub and the Quiet Cove pool warm enough to enjoy.

Disney Wonder kicks off Vancouver's busy 2024 cruise ship season

Cruise ship season is starting early in Vancouver with the Disney Wonder scheduled to make its first local appearance at the Port of Vancouver bright and early Monday at 7 a.m.

With than 2,700 passengers aboard its 11 decks, the 984-foot cruise liner is set to embark to San Diego before returning in May, kicking off its weekly itinerary from Vancouver to Alaska.

Before it departs Monday at 4 p.m., visitors at the Canada Place cruise terminal will be able to spot the ocean liner’s exterior waterslides, pools and entertainment areas that have an art nouveau design.

On April 4 the 167,800-tonne Norwegian Bliss ship arrives, a behemoth with games and sports facilities, including a go-kart racetrack. In 2018 it was the largest ship to dock at the Port of Vancouver terminal.

Last year was a record season as Vancouver 1.25 million passengers arrived at the Canada Place terminal, a nine per cent increase over the previous year.

Mandy Chan, manager of cruise services at the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, said 2024 is expected be another strong season, with a projected increase of two per cent in travellers between March 11 and Oct. 29 compared to last year.

Ships new to the port this year include the Explora I, Silver Nova, Celebrity Edge, Pacific World and Hanseatic Spirit.

For each ship’s visit, the Vancouver industry injects an average of about $3 million into the local economy, supporting nearly 7,000 jobs across the country and $300 million in wages, according to Chan.

“Cruise is an important part of Vancouver’s vibrant tourism sector that supports countless local hospitality and tourism businesses and jobs, she said.”

Special Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise

This special cruise designed for Disney Vacation Club Members will start on August 2, 2025 and be a 5-night round trip sailing on the Disney Dream departing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The cruise will set sail to the Western Caribbean, allowing members to visit destinations including Cozumel, Mexico (the first-ever Member Cruise visit here). Disney Vacation Club Members will also be able to enjoy Disney’s private island Castaway Cay during the cruise itinerary. See the full itinerary for the DVC Member cruise below:

  • August 2: Cruise departs from Fort Lauderdale

  • August 4: Arrive in Cozumel, Mexico
  • August 5: Day at sea
  • August 7: Arrive at Disney Castaway Cay

See our Disney Vacation Club Member cruise review aboard the Disney Wonder sailing to Alaska for everything you need to know about the experience and how it differs from a typical Disney Cruise Line sailing.

See all of the member cruise gifts that we received when we sailed on that Alaska cruise below.

There is something very special about the atmosphere of the cruise. There is tons of special programming featuring historians and special guests from all aspects of the Disney company.

The cruise is also full of fellow Disney fans who are also extremely passionate. During our Alaska cruise we were surrounded largely by adults because it took place in the end of August so many kids were already back at school. This 2025 member cruise takes place earlier in August so there may be more kids than there were on our sailing.

Bookings for the Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise will begin on April 13, 2024.

The 2025 summer itineraries for Disney Cruise Line were also recently announced—see our 2025 Disney Cruises guide for everything you need to know.

Step aboard Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, a cruise ship so big it has 8 'neighborhoods' spread across 18 decks

  • I sailed on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, the second-largest cruise ship in the world.
  • It can hold up to 7,000 guests and has eight "neighborhoods" full of activities and amenities.
  • The ship was even bigger than I imagined. Here's a tour of the 18 decks and all the venues.

Insider Today

In April 2022, I took my first cruise on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas and it was bigger than I could even imagine. I felt as if I were in a small town in the middle of the ocean. At the time of my sailing, Wonder of the Seas was the largest cruise ship in the world. Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas took over the title in January 2024.  

Step aboard the second-largest cruise ship in the world.

Wonder of the Seas, sailing since March 2022, is nearly 1,200 feet long and 210 feet wide with 18 decks. It can hold about 7,000 guests.

disney cruise wonder pools

For $2,000, I spent seven nights in an ocean-view stateroom on deck eight. The cruise was on sale, as it was originally priced at $3,000.

During my voyage, the ship sailed to Roatán, Honduras; Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico; and Royal Caribbean's own private island in the Bahamas.

The enormous ship had eight communal areas that Royal Caribbean calls "neighborhoods." Each neighborhood had its own activities.

To get up and down the ship's many decks, there are 24 elevators taking guests to 16 of the 18 levels. The top two decks are accessible only for suite guests.

disney cruise wonder pools

In my experience, the elevators were packed during busy parts of the day, so I found it faster to take the stairs on either side of the elevators.

Decks seven, 10, and 11 hold only staterooms, but most decks have a combination of staterooms, restaurants, venues, and activities.

disney cruise wonder pools

Decks two and three have boarding areas to enter and exit the ship. Deck three is the lowest deck with staterooms.

The main dining room spans levels three, four, and five.

disney cruise wonder pools

Meals in the main dining rooms were included in the price of my ticket.

Deck four is home to Entertainment Place, a neighborhood with fun venues surrounded by framed art on display.

disney cruise wonder pools

One of the venues, Studio B, is used for shows and activities that take up a large space, like ice skating and laser tag.

Down the hall from Studio B is the casino, where guests can gamble on a floor full of game tables and slot machines.

Entertainment Place also has a sushi restaurant, Izumi.

disney cruise wonder pools

While most shows were free, many restaurants like Izumi cost extra.

On deck five, there's a neighborhood called Royal Promenade lined with restaurants, bars, and stores.

disney cruise wonder pools

A venue called the Royal Theater also hosts shows on decks four and five.

One of the bars in this area is Bionic Bar, where robots make drinks.

disney cruise wonder pools

The Royal Promenade neighborhood also has two coffee shops — Starbucks and Cafe Promenade.

The Boardwalk is an outdoor neighborhood on deck six.

disney cruise wonder pools

The Boardwalk deck caters to families with kids with a carousel, a candy store, and rock-climbing walls.

There are two restaurants on the Boardwalk: a hot-dog stand, which is included for guests, and a Johnny Rockets, which has burgers and shakes, for an added fee.

disney cruise wonder pools

Across from the Boardwalk restaurants is Playmakers, a sports bar.

The Boardwalk ends with the Aquatheater, where Royal Caribbean puts on outdoor movies and a water show featuring dancers, divers, and acrobats.

disney cruise wonder pools

At night, the boardwalk lights up for the show.

On the other side of deck six is the spa and fitness-center neighborhood, Vitality at Sea.

disney cruise wonder pools

Just past the Vitality at Sea entrance is a café before the spa area and gym, which was full of cardio and strength machines I've seen in most fitness centers.

From the fitness center, there's access to an indoor track.

Up on deck eight, there's another outdoor neighborhood, Central Park.

disney cruise wonder pools

This deck is home to 20,000 plants, according to Royal Caribbean . 

There are many spaces to chill in this neighborhood, including benches and outdoor couches. I thought it was the most relaxing area on the ship.

Central Park is home to three upscale restaurants — Chops Grille, 150 Central Park, and Giovanni's Italian. There's also Park Cafe, a casual eatery that is free for guests.

disney cruise wonder pools

The Central Park deck has also two bars — Trelli's and Rising Tide, a moving bar that goes up and down floors five through eight.

Deck 14 is home to the Youth Zone neighborhood.

disney cruise wonder pools

The deck is a kids' area with an escape room.

Deck 15 is the pool deck. There are three large pools that made me feel as if I were at the beach with water coming up and around the lounging chairs.

disney cruise wonder pools

The deck also has a handful of whirlpools and small plunge pools for relaxing and a water playground called Splashaway Bay.

In the middle of the pool deck, Sprinkles has all-you-can-eat soft-serve ice cream with vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and mixed flavors. It's included for guests.

6 of the world’s biggest cruise ships

The largest cruise ships at sea. Photo / Getty Images

Here are six of the biggest, brightest, and newest mega ships for your next overseas holiday, writes Tiana Templeman

Most people cruise to get to their next destination , but on a mega-ship, your transport is a destination in itself. Mega-ships carry more than 3500 passengers and are not only big, they’re also mega-fun with amazing activities, cutting-edge facilities, and suitable accommodation options for all.

Icon of the Seas | Royal Caribbean

Icon of the Seas sets the benchmark for big with 20 decks, 2805 Staterooms, 5610 passengers, 20 restaurants, seven pools, and six waterslides. Currently the largest cruise ship in the world , it has eight separate neighbourhoods and multiple areas dedicated to thrills and good times on a grand scale. Think of it as a floating family-friendly resort that’s guaranteed to keep you entertained with loads of things to see, eat, and do. Sailing year-round out of Miami, Icon of the Seas offers seven-night round-trip Caribbean cruises, with some itineraries including a day at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island.

Iona | P&O Cruises

Wondering why you’ve never heard of this P&O Cruises ship before? That’s because Iona is part of P&O Cruises Australia’s sister brand in the UK where the ship is based. Catering to 5200 passengers, this mega-ship is aimed at families and a younger demographic with the fun spread over 16 decks with multiple pools, spas, and dining options designed to offer more choice and less crowds. Daytime activities revolve around traditional pleasures like swimming in one of the ship’s four pools. A gin distillery and ultra-cool nightclub, 710 Club, put the focus on those who want to stay up late after families have gone to bed, with a theatre and production shows rounding out the nightlife. Destinations are primarily European round-trip itineraries sailing out of Southampton.

Disney Wish | Disney Cruise Line

The newest and largest ship in the Disney fleet, Disney Wish, packs plenty of Disney delights into its holidays afloat. With a capacity of 4000 passengers and featuring Disney entertainment, design features, and themes from Disney classics to Star Wars and the Marvel universe, there’s something to entertain and delight cruisers of every age. Disney has a firm focus on families, but the ship’s extensive array of adults-only facilities also brings plenty of couples on board. Disney Wish sails year-round from Port Canaveral in Florida with a choice of three- and four-night itineraries to the Bahamas and Disney’s own island, Disney Castaway Cay.

MSC Seashore | MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises’ MSC Seashore combines European styling and class with well-priced fares, although the ship’s exciting for-a-fee activities may tempt you to spend more while you’re on board. With 19 decks and a capacity of 4540 passengers, this cutting-edge ship packs a punch with features like an F1 simulator, interactive cinema, bowling alley, zip lines, and a fun Pirates Cove aquapark for kids. Add 18 bars and lounges, with 12 indoor and six outdoor venues, five speciality restaurants, and four main dining rooms, and you’re covered for dining and drinks. MSC Seashore sails in the Caribbean year-round with decor that favours chrome and mirrors to showcase how fabulous you look.

Sky Princess | Princess Cruises

With a capacity of 3660 guests spread over 19 decks, Sky Princess just makes it into the mega-ship category. This is the largest ship in the Princess fleet, but it doesn’t set out to reinvent the cruise line’s brand. Instead, it enhances what Princess does best by offering an amped-up version of the line’s classic cruise experience. There’s a focus on tradition, with three main dining rooms, four speciality restaurants, and multiple pools. Although there are new features like a revamped pool deck and double the number of hot tubs, these facilities are nothing groundbreaking, but they do step things up a notch. The Sky Suite has one of the most oversized balconies at sea and 270-degree views if your credit card is up for the challenge. Sky Princess sails in Europe during summer and the Caribbean in the off-season.

Norwegian Encore | Norwegian Cruise Line

The last of the big NCL ships, Norwegian Encore, carries almost 4000 passengers and has the modern decor that’s a feature of the NCL fleet, plus exciting add-ons like the Broadway show “Kinky Boots”. With 20-plus restaurants and 20 decks, you’re spoiled for choice from the top to the bottom of this family-friendly ship. Norwegian Encore is a hit with kids and the young-at-heart thanks to all the onboard activities, such as a speedway go-cart track, purpose-built laser tag space, virtual reality play area, and last but not least, the Aqua Park, which has extreme water slides that zip you out over the edge of the ship. Add a Vibe Beach Club pass to your cruise and enjoy adults-only hot tubs and bars as you sail around Alaska, the Caribbean, and Europe, depending on the season.

Best of Moscow by high speed train

By shuguley , February 15, 2014 in Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Cool Cruiser

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

5,000+ Club

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.   Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?   My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.

Out to Sea and Overseas: AAA Travel’s Spring Break Trends

Cruises and international trips on the rise; florida tops list of domestic destinations.

aaa disney cruise packages

WASHINGTON, DC (Feb. 26, 2024) – If there’s one place that defines Spring Break, it’s Florida! AAA Travel booking data shows the Sunshine State tops the list of Spring Break destinations this year. Atlantic and Gulf Coast beaches, family-friendly attractions, and cruise ports make Florida a logical choice for travelers seeking fun in the sun.

“Orlando is the top choice for Spring Break travelers, while Fort Lauderdale and Miami are the two most popular domestic cruise ports,” said Paula Twidale, Senior Vice President of AAA Travel. “Many travelers are looking for warm weather, pools and beaches, and outdoor adventures this time of year, and cruise vacations check all those boxes.”

Cruising is off to a splashy start in 2024 with sold-out ships and inaugural sailings, and that strong demand is evident in Spring Break bookings. AAA Travel data shows a 28% increase in cruise bookings for March and April compared to last year, and a 60% percent increase for cruises departing from South Florida.

Good to Know: More travelers are booking cruises farther in advance, which is one of AAA Travel’s cruising trends this year. Many Spring Break cruises have been sold-out for months. Last-minute bookings are possible, but prices may be higher and cabin choices limited. If you miss the boat for Spring Break, AAA Travel suggests booking a summer cruise now before they sell out, especially if you’re eyeing popular destinations like Alaska.

AAA Trip Canvas Tips: For families traveling with teens, check out the best cruise lines for teenagers. 

  • Best for Onboard Activities:  ROYAL CARIBBEAN
  • Best for Teen Clubs: CARNIVAL
  • Best for Families with Kids of Different Ages: DISNEY CRUISE LINE
  • Best for Recreational Tournaments: PRINCESS CRUISES
  • Best for Entertainment Options: HOLLAND AMERICA LINE
  • Best For Family Accommodations: CELEBRITY CRUISES

International Spring Break trips are also on the rise compared to last year. AAA data for March and April shows international flight bookings are up 20% and hotel bookings are up 37%.  European cities top the list of most popular destinations: London, Paris, Rome, Dublin, and Amsterdam. “More AAA members are also booking tours for their international Spring Break vacations. They want the convenience, expertise, and peace of mind that guided travel brings.”

Good to Know : Planning ahead is key when traveling internationally, and that includes reserving airport parking well in advance. For peace of mind during your trip, The Parking Spot provides a well-lit, fenced-in parking area with 24-hour staff on premises. As a bonus, select locations offer EV charging and car washes, so you return home to a clean car! The earlier you reserve at The Parking Spot, the more you save, and AAA members receive a discount.

If you plan to drive at your destination, don’t forget to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) before your trip. An IDP is a document that translates a valid U.S. driver’s license into several different languages. Most countries highly recommend an IDP and several countries require it. AAA is the only entity in the U.S. authorized by the State Department to issue an IDP.

AAA Trip Canvas Tips: For travelers who want to visit popular European cities but can’t decide on which one, check out these tours that cover multiple destinations. 

  • Treasures of Europe
  • London and Paris
  • Italian Vistas
  • Netherlands, Belgium, and France
  • Best of Ireland and Scotland

The 2024 travel season kicks off with Spring Break: Where Tennesseans are heading

aaa disney cruise packages

Gloomy winter weather is on the way out and March 19, the first day of spring, is quickly approaching.

That means longer, sunnier days. It also means crowds of adventurers descending on top tourism destinations — and Tennesseans are eager to travel in 2024.

According to a new AAA travel survey, 85% of state residents will venture out of the state this year and 45% of Tennesseans are likely to travel more than last year. Nearly one in every three Tennesseans has vacation plans over Spring Break, the survey found.

The busiest travel period in 2024? March through July.

"For the Tennesseans planning a Spring Break trip, the top trips planned are to beaches, major cities, theme parks, and national/state parks," said AAA spokesperson Megan Cooper. "Florida is always a popular trip for Tennesseans and it checks a lot of boxes for those looking for the beach, Disney World, or those that are planning on departing on a cruise from one of the Florida ports."

The surge in travel will be felt on the roads and at Nashville International Airport, travel officials said.

Busiest travel days in March

Nashville International officials are preparing for higher-than-normal traffic in the airport and on nearby roads throughout the month.

The busiest days for airline passengers at BNA will be March 8, March 10, March 17 and March 31, according to Nashville International Airport.

"While record-breaking numbers aren’t anticipated, BNA anticipates an uptick in passenger traffic throughout March," said airport spokesperson Erin Thomas.

Airport preparations include increasing staff in parking garages and valet lots, expanding availability in Economy Lot C and coordinating with the Department of Public Safety to manage traffic flow on the busiest days. BNA also offers free parking for up to 30 minutes at terminal garages.

The Transportation Security Administration is adding 25 screening agents to manage the volume of passengers.

Nashville airport officials encourage drivers picking up travelers to use the cell-phone waiting lot at 1415 Murfreesboro Pike instead of clogging roads by circling the terminal.

Busier airlines also means more potential for delays and cancelations, so travelers are encouraged to arrive early and track their flight statuses via airlines and sites like FlightAware.com.

Where is everyone going for Spring Break?

Many Nashville-area travelers will spend their Spring Break in Florida — which, led by Orlando, has numerous Spring Break meccas that fill up in the second week of March.

"Orlando is the top choice for Spring Break travelers, while Fort Lauderdale and Miami are the two most popular domestic cruise ports," said Paula Twidale, senior vice president of AAA Travel.

"Many travelers are looking for warm weather, pools and beaches, and outdoor adventures this time of year, and cruise vacations check all those boxes."

Gulf Coast cities of Destin, Panama City Beach and Clearwater are popular go-to beach trips.

In addition, Americans are flocking to cruise ships this year. Cruise bookings surged 28% for March and April, compared to last year, with a 60% increase in South Florida departures, according to AAA Travel.

Cruising is up and so is global travel. Thirty percent more Americans are flying internationally this year, AAA found.

"The travel season is already off to a hot start in 2024," said AAA Vice President of Travel Debbie Haas. "More AAA members are also booking tours for their international Spring Break vacations."

Cruise lines sailing into 2024 seeing strong demand, AAA says

The cruise industry is riding a wave of strong demand into the new year.

" Travel demand is off to a strong start, which means availability will continue to shrink in the next couple of months," Debbie Haas, vice president of travel for AAA, said in a statement. "So, if you want a specific itinerary, ship or cabin type, act fast or you’ll have to start planning for next year instead."

The cruise industry’s "wave season," the three-month period beginning in January, is underway. AAA said this period is the best time to book a cruise due to discounted pricing, cabin upgrades, drink packages and more.

5 CRAZY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE WORLD'S LARGEST CRUISE LINER ‘ICON OF THE SEAS’

The demand is coming on the heels of what AAA described as "record-breaking booking days" notched by cruise lines in 2023.

In 2023, cruises were projected to collectively see passenger volumes of 31.5 million globally, according to a report from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), a trade association that counts Carnival, Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and other lines among its members.

"We’ve seen cruise ships already sell out suites and cabins with balconies for various spring and summer itineraries," Haas said.

AAA also observed multiple cruise trends, such as an increasing number of weekend cruises, year-round European river cruises and heightened competition for Alaskan cruises. 

People "may find more availability and competitive pricing by sailing during the fall and the period between spring break and summer" compared to the peak periods around school holidays, the group said.

U.S. travelers looking to sail to foreign countries may be relieved to hear getting a passport now takes less time. It has decreased to six to eight weeks for processing, according to AAA. It previously took eight to 11 weeks to receive a new passport.

NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE INTRODUCING TONS OF SOLO ROOMS FOR TRAVELERS

Ocean-going cruises will carry 36 million passengers this year, the CLIA predicted.

The cruise industry is rebounding after facing low passenger counts and restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020.

Disney premier visa review 2024.

Our evaluations and opinions are not influenced by our advertising relationships, but we may earn a commission from our partners’ links. This content is created independently from TIME’s editorial staff. Learn more about it.

If you think Disney is the most magical place on earth, keeping a Disney credit card in your wallet might help you spend more time there. With the card_name , you can earn valuable rewards on your everyday spending that will help make your next family vacation more affordable.

Here’s a look at what this Mickey-branded credit card offers and how it compares to other cash back credit cards in the Chase lineup.

Disney® Premier Visa® Card

Why we like it:, time’s take.

Whether you’re a full-blown Mouseketeer or just planning to take your family to a Disney park one day, the card_name from Chase might be right for you. In addition to fun card art, this rewards credit card offers cash back on all purchases, including the following bonus categories: Streaming services (including Disney+), gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and Disney locations in the U.S. The card has a low annual fee, a $300 welcome bonus, and 0% APR financing on select Disney vacation packages.

Rewards redemptions are more limited than from other Chase cash back credit cards, making this a product geared explicitly toward Disney fans. With a short introductory APR period that only applies to vacation packages, the card isn’t the best choice for people looking to consolidate debt or pay off a large purchase over time.

Pros & cons

  • $300 welcome bonus
  • 0% promotional APR financing on select Disney vacation packages
  • Up to 5% cash back rewards on spending
  • $49 annual fee
  • Limited rewards redemption options
  • Highest cash back categories are on streaming services

Who is the card for?

The card_name from Chase is ideal for cardholders looking to maximize their benefits for future Disney trips. In addition to earning bonus rewards on Disney spending, it’s easy to redeem those rewards (in the form of Disney Dollars) toward Disney-related purchases. Plus, if you’re planning a Disney vacation in the future, the card offers special financing for your vacation package.

If you visit Disney regularly, shop online through the Disney store, or are planning a Disney trip in the future, this card can help you save money on upcoming expenses. You can redeem your rewards for airfare, theme-park tickets, Disney merchandise, resort stays, and more. Plus, a promotional 0% APR offer on vacation packages means that you can plan your next family vacation without worrying about finance charges.

The card_name does come with a $49 annual fee, so you’ll want to ensure that you’ll get your money’s worth before you sign up. There’s also a $300 welcome bonus offer (providing you spend $1,000 in the first three months of card ownership), which can easily offset that annual fee.

The card_name provides cardholders with up to 5% back in Disney Reward Dollars on streaming purchases (DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or ESPNPlus.com). You’ll also earn 2% back on gas station, grocery store, restaurant, and U.S. Disney location purchases. Everything else earns 1% back.

You can redeem your rewards in two ways:

  • As a statement credit toward airline travel.
  • Via a Disney Rewards Redemption Card.

A Disney Rewards Redemption Card comes loaded with redeemed Disney Rewards Dollars. You can use the card to purchase most Disney items at Disney locations. You can also use the card to stock up on items at shopDisney.com or for AMC movie tickets when seeing a Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, or Marvel movie. You can get a Disney Rewards Redemption Card as soon as you’ve earned 20 Rewards Dollars, and you can reload the card anytime with at least 10 Rewards Dollars.

Once you’ve loaded your Redemption Card, your Rewards Dollars won’t expire. However, if you don’t load your rewards onto a card, they will expire five years after you earn them.

You can choose to redeem rewards toward airfare instead, with a minimum of 50 Disney Rewards Dollars (equivalent to $50 in an airline statement credit). Simply purchase an airline ticket with your card_name , then request a statement credit for that purchase within 60 days.

Welcome bonus

New cardholders can earn a welcome bonus in the form of a $300 statement credit after spending $1,000 in purchases on the card within the first three months of card ownership. This offer is only available to cardholders who haven’t earned this bonus in the last 24 months.

0% APR vacation financing

Select Disney vacation packages may be eligible for promotional 0% APR financing for up to six months. Rather than paying for your vacation in full, you can pay it off slowly over half a year without incurring any finance charges on the balance.

The financing offer is available for vacation packages booked through Walt Disney Travel Company, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney Travel Services, Inc., through Disney websites, or select other travel agents and websites. The vacation package must be prepaid and charged to your card before you travel.

Eligible Disney vacation packages include:

  • Disney Resort packages.
  • Adventures by Disney packages.
  • National Geographic Expeditions.
  • Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, Ko Olina, Hawai'i vacation packages.
  • Disney Cruise Line packages.

After the six-month promotional APR period ends, any remaining balance is subject to a variable APR ranging from 19.24% to 28.24%.

Disney bundle credit

Use your card_name on DisneyPlus.com, Hulu.com, or ESPNPlus.com, and get up to $14.99 per month back for up to three consecutive months. Credit is available for subscriptions or bundle add-ons.

Use your card on shopDisney.com, Disney retail and outlet stores throughout the U.S., or at select locations in the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, to save 10% off your total. The discount applies to select merchandise purchases as long as you mention the offer and present your card before paying.

The fine print

As with any credit card, it’s important to understand the fine print before you apply or use the card. This will help you limit your fees and take advantage of all available perks.

The card_name from Chase charges a $49 annual fee, which is not waived the first year. Like any rewards card with an annual fee, make sure you will earn at least enough rewards to cover it.

Interest charges

The card_name has a variable APR of between 19.24% and 28.24%, depending on creditworthiness and other factors. The APR is charged on all purchases if the statement balance isn’t paid in full each month. The only exception would be purchases eligible for the promotional 0% APR vacation package offer, but after that six-month period ends, any remaining balance becomes subject to the APR.

Promotional APR

The card’s promotional APR period can only be applied to eligible Disney vacation packages, and is only available for six months. Unfortunately, there is no introductory APR offer on new purchases or balance transfers.

Rewards redemption

You can only redeem your earned rewards as a statement credit for airline travel or as Disney Rewards Dollars on a requested Rewards Card. Disney Rewards Dollars can be spent on many eligible purchases—including park merchandise, shopDisney.com purchases, in Disney retail stores, and applied to theme-park tickets—but they hold no value outside the Disney umbrella.

Your earned rewards will expire within five years if you fail to redeem them. However, as long as you transfer them to a Redemption Card, those Disney Rewards Dollars will not expire. Just remember that card redemptions are only available once you reach $20—or $50 for airline travel.

Additional hidden perks

Beyond the Disney-specific perks of this card, there are a few other benefits to note.

Cardholders can enjoy a complimentary one-year DashPass. This membership offers unlimited $0 deliveries through DoorDash and Caviar, and reduced service fees for eligible orders.

My Chase Plan

Many Chase credit cards today offer My Chase Plan, a financing option for cardholders who want to spread their card repayment into three to 24 budget-friendly monthly payments. Instead of paying standard finance charges each month, My Chase Plan charges a fixed monthly fee on eligible purchases.

What could be improved

The card_name isn’t designed for the everyday rewards-chaser or someone looking to consolidate debt with a 0% APR balance transfer offer. It’s truly geared toward Disney aficionados who want to enjoy some perks on their passion.

The Mouse rules: The card’s intro_apr_rate,intro_apr_duration offer only benefits Disney vacation planners. You can earn rewards in a number of different categories, but they can be redeemed only toward eligible flights or Disney-related expenses. And the discounts available on this card are limited to eligible Disney purchases.

If you’re a frequent Disney parkgoer, are planning a vacation for the family, or regularly make purchases online or in Disney retail stores, this card might be right for you. But otherwise, the benefits make it subpar for the everyday credit card user.

Card Alternatives

Bottom line.

The card_name from Chase has one audience in mind: those who spend money at Disney. It’s a worthwhile card for anyone planning a Disney trip or who spends a lot of money in the Disney sphere, as it earns great bonus rewards on Disney purchases, and redemptions are mostly limited to Disney Rewards Dollars. If you’re not planning a Disney vacation in the future or don’t plan to spend any money through Disney online or in-store, look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Is card_name hard to get.

While the card_name doesn’t have a published minimum credit score requirement , most Chase credit cards do require Good to Excellent credit to qualify. You’ll also be subject to Chase’s 5/24 rule, making you ineligible for a card if you’ve opened five new accounts from any issuer in the last 24 months.

What is the difference between Disney Visa and card_name ?

While both cards are similar and offer the same six-month 0% APR offer on vacation packages, the Disney Visa has no annual fee and a smaller welcome bonus. Disney Visa cardholders also earn 1% back on all card purchases, while Disney Premier Visa cardholders can earn up to 5% in bonus categories.

Is card_name worth it?

The card_name from Chase is worth considering if you’re planning an upcoming Disney vacation or regularly spend money on Disney-related purchases. If you can meet the minimum spend requirement to earn the $300 welcome bonus (and cancel out the card’s annual fee), it’s an even better offer.

Can I upgrade my Disney Visa to the card_name ?

You can contact Chase card services to request an upgrade from the Disney Visa to the card_name . You’ll be subject to an annual fee with this upgrade but can begin enjoying your new card benefits while still using your old credit card (until the replacement arrives).

News and Review: Moscow Mule Mocktail Float at Sprinkles in Disney Springs in July

By AJ and the DFB Team Leave a Comment

You guys! Run! Run to Sprinkles right now!

Because in addition to selling awesome Cupcakes  and Frosting Shots and Cookie/Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches , for the month of July, Sprinkles is also serving up truly refreshing Moscow Mule Mocktail Floats !

That’s right. We’ve all come to know and love Sprinkles in Disney Springs, with its cheerful decor and hyper-cool Cupcake ATM . But we’ve discovered that it’s so much more than a sunny place to grab a cupcake.

In fact, we’ve devoured just about everything on the menu with reckless abandon, stopping in to see what’s new in the dessert case and on the menu every chance we get. Because Sprinkles is always cooking up (or churning out!) something new and interesting. Back in May, they offered a Margarita Cupcake , which we thoroughly enjoyed.

So when we saw that they were offering Moscow Mule Mocktail Floats , we ordered one STAT!
