Our cruise on the Disney Wonder was one of the best family vacations that we have taken. Embarkation was great! We had all of our paperwork filled out before we went to the port. Once there, it took about 15 minutes and we were walking through the Mickey Ears arch! the terminal itself is beautiful. There are couches and tvs all over with Disney shows on for the children. Mickey Mouse is there to greet all of the guests and provide them with a much desired photo op. There is a model of the ship in the terminal for everyone to look at.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. Once aboard the ship, the crew announces your family name and you are welcomed aboard amid applause. The Atrium is beautiful. There is a statue of Ariel, the little mermaid and a hand blown glass chandelier. Glass elevators take you upstairs and provide you with murals of the little mermaid on the walls as you go up to the higher floors.
We brought a day bag with us that contained our valuables and our pool gear. We ate in Parrot's Cay and had a very good buffet with many choices including a child's buffet with mac and cheese, chicken tenders, strawberry soup, etc... We then went to check out the Goofy pool and join in on the sail away party which was full of fun. Lots of music and a lot of crew/guest interaction.
