We had 7638 on the 3-day Wonder in June, so I can help you. The room is probably identical on the Magic. I wrote a 6-part trip report on the cruise board; will excerpt some of it here. We were two adults and two 17-year-old girls in the one stateroom. Instead of a wheelchair in Orlando I had...

We were in an aft, Category 5, wheelchair-accessible stateroom on the June 27 3-day Wonder this summer. We were two adults and two 17-year-old girls. I?d be happy to answer any questions you have! We had Stateroom 7638, a wheelchair-accessible room with a king-sized bed, a sofa, and a...

We (two adults and two 17-year-olds) used four mugs and drank regular Coke (with sugar and caffeine) all day on the Wonder June 27 cruise. It was very hot, so we drank a lot. We had lots of ice in the mugs, so the amount of Coke per fill-up was not especially high. But the regular Coke...

I have only rented an ECV once in Florida; it was this June. Care delivered the scooter to my hotel bellman's desk (Hilton at WDW Resort) before I arrived. And they picked it up from the Delta baggage room at MCO after I left. I tipped the bellman, $5 I think. But the Delta attendant...

We stayed in 7638. Never noticed any special motor/engine noise. Nor any fumes, either. Never noticed excess motion of the ship (which was a disappointment, since I like to be rocked to sleep by the ship)--but then, we had very calm seas, so we wouldn?t expect any trouble. Hallway was...

When we were on the June 27 Wonder (3-day), we were told the ship was sold out and had 2700 passengers.

SueM has a good point. There's an emotional advantage to an ECV: Compared to a wheelchair (and especially if the rider doesn't have the skill, experience, and great strength to propel the chair for long distances by himself)-- an ECV is more like a TOY, or a CAR. My ECV is usually...

WorknFires, Overprotective? No. Realistic? No. -----But then neither is he. Good luck. It's very hard to get people to admit for the first time that they cannot do everything they used to do. Especially when they can ALMOST do it by just trying harder and harder.

We paid (I think) about $46 ROUND TRIP, PER PERSON, to go from the hotel to the ship and from the ship to the airport. If you only want one way, it's about half that. For 5 people you might find other ways to be cost effective and more flexible (e.g., hiring a limo or private car). We...

Oh, tinkerbell15, if you are allergic to soybeans and cannot tolerate even a little bit, then you will have quite a chore selecting foods outside of your own kitchen! I am also allergic to soybeans. And almost all processed foods contain soy in some form: For example, soy oil, soy...

I bought 4 mugs for 2 adults and 2 teens. Since we all like soda pop, it was definitely worth it!! It was VERY HOT and very sunny every day and we were always thirsty. Getting refills at any bar at any time was very convenient, and we could ask for loads of ice without worrying that the...

We had a category 5 on the Wonder, 7638 (handicapped accessible). It had a king bed, and a sofa which converted into a bed, and a pull-down bed for the 4th person. However, the bed for the 4th person did not pull down like a bunk bed (as we had been told) but instead was a Murphy bed which...

There is one more way you can have an intimate dinner for two. --And that is room service! I myself haven't done dinner that way, but it would give you a quiet, private place and all the time in the world to enjoy the meal and each other.

Unfortunately, I can?t help too much with the teen entertainment because my daughter and her best friend stuck to themselves. The first thing they did was to explore the ship thoroughly. Then, their favorite thing was to watch ?Lilo and Stitch? twice in the theater and to watch Disney movies...

NCRedding, Do you mean the DISNEY transfer/shuttle bus? When you buy your cruise ticket, you are offered tickets on the Disney transfer buses. If you fly into Orlando on the same day as the cruise, there is a bus at the airport to take you to the ship at Port Canaveral. A Cast Member...

The number of kids and teens depends greatly on the school year and vacations. I don't know how to guess about January 18 since it is too late for Christmas vacations but is about right for Martin Luther King's birthday (when some schools schedule vacations) and for between-semester breaks...

The next morning we found ourselves in Port Canaveral near the Fantasy and the Sovereign again. We had to take our hand luggage to 8:00 a.m. breakfast (second sitting) and then disembark directly from the restaurant. We easily found our other luggage in the area designated for our group of...

The following day was at Disney?s private island, Castaway Cay. It is very nicely set up with 4 separate areas: for families, for children in programs with their counselors, for teens, and for adults. The water was clear as bathwater. I explored the beaches briefly (took my scooter off the ship...

The next day was in Nassau; we docked near the Fantasy and the Sovereign. Since most people got off to explore the port, the ship was very peaceful during the day. Three of us didn?t even leave the ship. My husband went ashore to walk 6 blocks along the dock area, until he ran out of shops, just...
