Pictures of the Wonder leaving San Francisco Bay on April 30, 2011

Wonderful shots! I'll be on the Wonder in Sept 2012 for the Pacific cruise and can't wait. I'm from San Jose and grew up in Reno and just love that area. Really looking forward to showing DH the area on our excursion days

Thank you!! I graduated from Piedmont Hills High School in San Jose. Often go to Reno in the summer from our lake house in Lake Almanor. Small world, huh?

I must have a pic of your husband here somewhere (not in the pics below). I was on the opposite side of the GG when the Wonder left. I'd posted these in the 'Wonder returns due to medical emergency' thread.

We were on the Golden Gate Bridge as the "Disney Wonder" sailed underneath it, and what a great experience that was. The city and ship together were a beautiful sight, then the closeness of the ship as it passed below was breathtaking.

We were waving big white Mickey hands and it sure looked like we were noticed. If anyone on the starboard side took photos of us, we'd love to see those!

The following were already posted at Cheer the Wonder Bon Voyage from San Franciso, so pardon us for repeating them here. We like them so much we want to share them twice.

Here are two links to videos we took:

The second video has her blowing her horn as she approaches the bridge, now that was a magical moment.

Mickey and Minnie are on the port wing of the Wonder's bridge.

Nice pictures, when were these taken?

My DH made a slide show of the pictures I posted earlier for people to view. It opens immediately if you are running windows software. If you are running apple software, you need to flick it.
