Just back from 4 day Wonder...

Hi All!

We had a great time on our first DC. Here's what we did when we got on board. Sent DH to make Palo ressies, sent in-laws to change from the late seating to early dinner seating and I went to make Spa ressies. We got the time and night we wanted for Palo and also got the Brunch. Just had to ask about the brunch and we were set up and got to choose a time between 10:30 and 11:00am. I think they had brunch until 12:30 but those were the times we were told we could choose from. Getting the dinner seating changed was no problem. (Palo ressies and changes to dinner were in the same place.)
At the Spa I made ressies for 'Ladies nite out'. It was 2 hours of pure indulgence!!! Nina spent 1 hour and thirty minutes massaging my feet, legs, back, shoulders, neck, arms, hands and scalp then gave me a facial and hair treatment. Then I spent the last 30 minutes in the Rain Forest and drank champagne and ate chocolate covered strawberries!!! That was the best part of my cruise!
The shows were really great. The ship was beautiful. The rooms were nice, and my kids slept late since we had an inside cabin and it was very dark...this is a good thing. I don't think the food was quite what I expected from Disney. We have been on lots of cruises and I think the food was just good, not great. Palo was very nice. The brunch was very good and the view was beautiful.
My son (3yo) cannot stop talking about the Disney ship, he had so much fun and he even believes that Mickey called him and wanted to meet him. (long story) Needless to say we will be going back. But not for a four day. I don't think I will want to do anything less then a 7 day. There is so much to do and there were parts of the ship that we didn't even get to see until the last day!
We will see you next time!

You sound like we did after we got back from our first Disney Cruise (also a 4 day). I think I know what you are talking about when you ds says Mickey wants to see him -- was it the wake-up call?? My kids loved it.

Well, its official, you are part of the elite group of "experienced Disney cruisers". Be careful, it's addicting

Thanks for the report.. a relief to know you got late seating changed to early was it hard? What time were you on the ship to do it? That is my only big thng is getting it switched to early for my elderly oparents. Alos was it crowded we go next month and it seems that it will be more crowded than we expected.

Sounds like a great cruise! Was the laides night only offered on Nassau night? Also, do you recall the approx cost for this spa adventure?

We got on the ship around 1:15pm. We went straight get the ressies. There was a line already but we had no problems getting in. Make sure to ask about the brunch. It was really good.

The Ladies nite out was on the nassau night. It cost $150.00 but was well worth it! I had an 8pm time slot and it worked out great. I did miss the show though but my kids and husband went.

The ship did seem kind of crowded but only really around the pools and at the shows.

Have fun!
