    Disney Wonder Servers :)

    We just had Rolly & Andrew on our cruise last week. We loved them also! We also got to catch up with our server from our Alaska cruise last summer, Shane -- he was great too. (In fact, we requested him as a server, but didn't get him -- I don't know if it's just hard for them to fulfill...

    Art of Theme Ship Tour

    We just did this tour last week and we didn't need tickets. It was a last-minute decision (we literally decided about 5 minutes before the tour was to start) and we were the only people for the tour.

    All things Wonder

    Hey Dawg91, we just cruised the Wonder for spring break and also had Rolly and Andrew as our server team! We really enjoyed them. We have only ever sailed on the Wonder -- two cruises now -- but we think it's a beautiful ship. Lots of amenities and a luxurious feel, without being so huge that...

    Official Castaway Cay 5K Thread

    For our 5K Thursday, one of the cast members was telling people they would need a picture ID to return to the ship. Some passengers said they had heard the opposite info from Guest Services. The other cast member said that runners would be allowed back on the ship with their race bibs in lieu...

    Ack, "shows" not shoes. Silly autocorrect.

    Picking a Wonder show to miss & cocktail hour question...

    We saw all the Disney-themed shoes during our first Wonder cruise last August, and skipped the comedian/magician/ventriloquist shows. (I've heard folks like them but they aren't our thing). This cruise the only show we did was the Golden Mickeys. There was a captain's reception and also a Q&A...

    Official Castaway Cay 5K Thread

    Just did the 5K Thursday at CC. I would say there were about 65 runners (we were on the Wonder rather than one of the bigger ships). Although we met at 8 and were scheduled to start the race at 8:30, we weren't able to disembark until 8:30 and thus didn't start the race until around 9 (after...

    Miami Transfer

    We are just off the Wonder in Miami. We took a cab to and from the airport to our hotel, it was about a 15 minute ride and about $20 for the 4 of us. Airport to port is about 15-20 minutes and a standard $24 fare. We stayed at the Miami Intercontinental, which is in downtown Miami and about...

    What Pooh loves - huney

    We are just off the Wonder and they have individual packets of honey and peanut butter at breakfast. (These are the small plastic containers with peel-away lids). It was actual honey with a bee on the package. Hope this helps!

    April 13, 2014 ~ Disney Wonder Western Caribbean

    Hey Kara -- are you on our cruise Facebook group? We have been talking about having a Fish Extender exchange, but no one has stepped up to organize it yet, so this sounds perfect! Thank you! I think my family will participate. Let me just check with my DH to make sure. Nancy

    Alaska FE Ideas

    I wanted to do the customized hot chocolate idea, but we ended up being constrained on how much we could pack. I got small notebooks from the craft store and personalized them with Mickey stickers and handwritten stickers designating them as journals for their Alaska trip memories. I also...

    Vote: How to Surprise Kids with Cruise

    Things like this are so fun! We surprised our kids with a trip to WDW this past June. We'd had it planned for months (tickets bought, flights and hotel booked, etc.) so it was sooooo hard to keep it quiet. We were going to try and pack in secret, but decided that would just be too difficult...

    Sleeping 4 in a Stateroom

    Lanejudy is correct. We were in an outside deluxe stateroom, Deck 2, on the Wonder on our Alaska trip this past August. My husband and I slept in the bed, and my girls (ages 11 and 8) slept in the twin beds. They alternated between the top and bottom bunks each night. There's a removable...

    WHY did you not like the food on the cruise?

    Chiming in, having taken our first cruise this past summer. By way of background, we are not picky eaters, and do not frequent expensive restaurants, but we do like ethnic cuisine. My husband and I didn't have overly high expectations of the food, given the large volume of folks that the...

    Amazing Adventures of the 2014 Disney Parks Moms Panel Search

    It's a no for me, after 3 years of making it to Round 2. I really am crushed. I hope the rest of you get better news.

    Flying into Seattle...

    We priced all the options associated with flying into Seattle or Vancouver as well as associated transportation, hotel costs, etc. We basically took this approach -- flew into Seattle, rented a car and drove to Vancouver the night before the cruise, parked our car at the Vancouver cruise...

    Best time to sail to Alaska

    We cruised the 2nd week in August this past summer, and it was great. We did have atypically warm weather -- beautiful sunshine and warmth on Tracy Arm day (although still bundled up due to the chill coming off the ice!), warm and sunny in Skagway, foggy but relatively warm (high 60s/low 70s as...

    Kids clubs

    You can pre-register your younger child in advance through the DCL website, at the same time you register for other ship activities such as excursions. You'd go to "My Cruise Activities" and there's a link to pre-register your child. It helps to pre-register in advance, because you don't need...
