Greetings! Just returned from the May 8 Wonder. It was my sister (28, CM) and I (24). My second cruise with Disney and my 4th cruise overall. We had a fabulous time!! Lots of yummy food and had an all around good time. Awesome weather too! 
However, I have come up with a list of random things to better help you on your next Disney cruise:
1. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT STAY IN ROOM 2152 (cat 9). This is the last room in the aft on deck 2. It was VERY noisy ALL night. Not even the earplugs we brought with us helped. The room vibrated and shook all night and everytime we docked or left there was loud banging (We think this was the ropes being hauled in/out). This was especially annoying as this was usually in the early morning (5am). Since we are from CA, it was just like the earthquakes we are used to!
IMHO this room/location should be used for crew. Since the cruise was 100% full, we could not change rooms. Last year we had a Cat 5, so this was a big adjustment.2. When you go to the muster drill, do not wear a tank top/swimsuit/any type of shirt without sleeves. My sis got her shoulders all scratched up having to wear her life vest over her tank top. I think it is the reflective patches.
3. You must try the pumpkin ravioli at Palos. The perfect time to go to Palos is at 6:30 or 7pm so you can enjoy the sunset. The Ravioli was DELICIOUS!!!
4. Skip the pedicure. I had one at it was not as good as the ones I am used to. Not much foot/leg massaging and they wont do french (pink/white). However, my sis had a manicure and she said it was FABULOUS. So maybe it was the spa attendant that did the pedicure.
5. "Make over madness" at the spa is just a 20 min session where they put this bronzing powder all over your face and try to sell it to you. Not really a make over.
6. Beach Blanket Buffet on embarkation day was not yummy at all. It seemed that the salads were luke warm and the hot pastas were too! This was around 2:30pm. I had some food safety worries....
We ended up going over to Plutos and having hot dogs.7. If you have PJ as your head server, definetly make time to talk to him, he is funny and much more involved than most head servers...ROSCKSTAR!
We had a fabulous time. We are already planning on the 7 night Western for May 2004. Please email me if you have any questions. karkies23@aol.com
