We are a family of three - myself & DH (both 34) and DD (5). This was our first trip to Florida and first cruise. We booked a 4 day land - 3 day sea package through DCL. We usually go to Las Vegas for our holidays (8 times in 4 years) but decided it was time for a real family holiday. We stayed at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort - a great place to stay. We boarded the ship on January 22/09.
The first wonderful thing we encountered was the ease of check in!! We were able to check into the cruise right in our hotel lobby! So convenient. And to our surprise and excitement we were given a free upgrade!! We had booked a category 10 (inside deluxe - cabin 7005) but were upgraded to cabin 6132 - a Deluxe Stateroom with a verandah!!! We will never consider cruising without one again.
The Disney Wonder was beautiful. Everything on it seems really clean and well maintained. We used the Kids Club a few times - our DD was always wanting to head there for an hour or two before or after supper. It seemed like a lot of other kids were there for good chunks of the day but we didn't ever leave her over a meal or longer than two hours. Only because we wanted to spend our holiday with her - she would have been happy to stay in the club longer.
