Fourteen of us made it safely back home yesterday! We all had a blast. I'll just touch on the highlights.
My 10 yo nephew had a blast in Oceanears. He stayed until 1am every night except Pirate Night which we all spent dancing out on deck. Our Assistant Server was incredible with the kids. He performed magic tricks and challenged them with mind teasers all week.
My 13 yo nephew stayed in the Loft nearly all week.
The four 16-20 yo's did their own thing during the week, from hot tubbing to movies to getting lots of pictures with the characters. They really seemed to enjoy themselves. And we worked it out so the three girls had their own room.
87 yo grandma Orine had a blast. Though within hours of getting home last night, she broke her hip so any prayers and thoughts directed her way would be greatly appreciated! Her surgery is today.
Mom & Dad were just glad to have us all together. Dad fell on deck during the sail away. Disney washed his clothes and gave him a bottle of champagne (even though he said he didn't drink). Be careful of spilt drinks on Deck 10 though. Overall I think they didn't care for the entertainment. They loved the food and attention to detail.
I loved it all!
Oh, best tip I've ever given to the ladies - within two or three hours of getting on the boat, get a massage. I scheduled a hot stone at 2pm on embarkation day b/c I wanted to do stuff at the other available times and I had waited too long before reserving. OMG! It completely transitioned me to vacation mode!
If you're on the Wonder this year REQUEST ANNA AS YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST!!!!! Both my sister-in-law and myself had massages by her and it was hands down (forgive the pun) the best massage I've ever had. She is sweet and personable and has incredible skill. My sil said Anna had received a note from another passenger right before her massage. The other passenger was saying exactly what I am saying, Anna is the best! It's her first contract year & she's from Lester England.
Fireworks were beautiful. The snorkeling in Nassau was the best.
Great vacation with a great company.

I would say total time between check in at the airport until the bus (we had a new one with porthole windows) filled up and left was @ 30 minutes - gotta love the Disney effeciency!
