Just returned from the inaugural 11-night voyage on the Disney Wonder. What an excellent experience! From the beginning pick up at the airport until we were deposited at the airport for our return, it was a seamless and stress-free trip.

All you must do is put your Disney luggage tags on your baggage (at your home) and when you arrive in Orlando you go to the Disney counter at the end of the terminal and "sign" in. You don't have to hustle bags at all. They're waiting for you on the ship! You're then shown to the waiting motorcoaches where you embark and ride the 45 minutes or so to the port. Our driver was courteous and had a Disney tape ready for us to see. After it had finished he gave us an informal "tour" of the area as we drove.

Embarkation was typical. Past cruisers in one line, first timers in another; but it was orderly and fairly quick. Then through "Mickey's head" and onto the ship. Each passenger is greeted and announced, via microphone, to everyone in the lobby and taken aside and briefed about the ship. What fun that was! Read more
