Disney Cruise Line - Wonder
On a last moment opportunity, I was able to
experience Disney Cruise Line's Wonder on her four day cruise
itinerary. This was a total surprise for my kids; they thought
they were going to Florida with dad for a meeting. I promised
that I would try to find the time that we could do something Disney
while we were there; they naturally thought Walt Disney World.
They didn't realize it was a cruise until we were inside the cruise
terminal and they saw the ship outside. I had been on the the
Wonder before for a few hours of training, but this cruise
reaffirmed to me Disney's dedication to the experience for its
guest.
The ship offers families lots of opportunities
from the high quality kids program, to character interaction, to
quiet places for the adults and don't forget the most awesome island
you will visit on a mainline cruise. Many people will
characterize Disney as a kid's cruise; it deserves that designation.
Most people don't understand the breath of options for those without
kids or the parents who want adult options - Disney has them covered
as well.

Disney is the best at creating "magical moments" or memories as we
know them. We were selected to be the very honorary security
personnel one morning. Dylan got to use the metal detector and
we were the very first people off the ship at Castaway Cay.
Ask us how we did it and you might have your very own Magical
Moment.
