Great trip report. Quick question. Looks like you are from a warm climate. How did you dress? Were you really cold? Did you bring warm coats and pants? I'm from California and freezing at 60 degrees.
Hey Jodie-Curious about where you ran. Our entire family runs, but I figured we would just run onboard. I hadn't really thought about running around town. Were there trails? I won't let my 15 year old daughter run by herself, but my 17 year old son would probably love to get off the ship to run.

Thank you for the nice compliment but the scenery did most of the work. I didn't want to post too many. We took about 1500 pictures all together!I know this may seem very basic, but I have read about Palo brunches, but not character breakfasts. How do we sign up for those? I didn't see them in my dining booking options. I also wanted to tell you that some of your photos look professional!! They are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing all your information. It makes me even more excited about our trip in September.
Hey Jodie-
Check out http://skagway.com/skagwaytrailmap.pdf There are some nice descriptions of the trails. We started on the Lower Dewey Lake trail but I wanted to get our run in and it was too steep (at least at first) for me to run. Skagway was a really easy place to run. It was about a 3 mile loop around the city. We did our run at 6pm so we didn't have to worry about bobbing and weaving around people. We did our other runs on the treadmills in the fitness center. Deck 4 was always windy and again I didn't want to worry about running around people. Ketchiken might be a bit tricky to run. I didn't see a lot of sidewalks but you should be ok in Juneau. The ship is about a mile from the main shopping area (and where the shuttle takes you) so you could make that into a start of a run. Lots of sidewalks in Juneau but also lots of pedestrians too.

You are automatically assigned a character breakfast. There will be tickets it for it in your stateroom and your server will remind you about it. But you can't be late. The characters come around quick and you don't get a second chance.
Starting this week's cruise you will need to sign up for the character breakfast, and it will be held in Animator's Palate. This is according to our server. Too many people weren't showing up or didn't like the day they were assigned.I know this may seem very basic, but I have read about Palo brunches, but not character breakfasts.

Our stateroom host Winston was awesome as were our serving team Oka and GiGi. They all provided excellent service!
We were in 7526. He did a great job for us! He was telling us he has been with Disney for 14 years and all those years have been on the Wonder. He definitely knows his job! He said he loves working for Disney.We just had Winston last week on deck 7! We were in 7532, how about you?
That would be perfect. Everyone was very toned down in the MDRs even on formal night.Thank you so much for your trip report. Enjoyed reading it and the info is very helpful as I plan for my first Alaskan cruise. I am trying to pack as light as possible. Can you tell me how formal were ladies dressed for formal night? Would a black skirt and a sleeveless rayon top be sufficient? Thank you for your help.
