Wonder Fireworks

[taswira]

<I>If anyone else has posted this, sorry for the repetition</I> - - -

For a limited time only, the Disney Wonder features a "Wish Upon A Star" fireworks display on select sailings. During Disney's popular Nassau deck party, a pyrotechnics show will light up the sky on all four-night sailings now through Aug. 24.

Not to be confused with pyrotechnics used in stage shows, this aerial display launches full-sized fireworks shells hundreds of feet into the sky, resulting in giant bursts of brilliant color. It is believed to be the only fireworks show of this scale in the cruise industry. While this display can be seen for miles, only Disney Cruise Line® guests experience a multi-sensory experience, complete with accompanying music choreographed to an "Under the Sea" medley inspired by Disney's The Little Mermaid film.

I saw this on Deb Wills site. I can't believe we were on the 4 day wonder, Nassau on June 30 and didn't get this!

We're just back from the 7/6 Wonder 4-day and they did the fireworks on Monday night. They announced it Sunday night when we sailed and Captain John mentioned it to DW and I when we had our picture taken with him on Monday. They leave Nassau right around 10 pm and sail about 6 miles out of port (according to Capt. John). The deck party starts at 10 and it was around 1045 when we reached the "spot". The ship stops and the deck party pauses for "Wish Upon a Star" - the fireworks are shot from a barge several hundred yards away. It was a beautiful display and wonderful music! When we spoke to Cruise Director Rachel at the Castaway Club Party, she said that this was a trial period to see how guests responded to the fireworks. We thanked her for the wonderful gesture and encouraged them to make it a routine part of future cruises. I encourage anyone else cruising on the Wonder during the trial period to do the same!
