The Ultimate Disney Wonder Cruise Guide: Everything You Need to Know! #disneycruise #travelvlog
Are you planning to take a cruise on the Disney Wonder? The Ultimate Disney Wonder Cruise Guide: Everything You Need to Know!
We have the video for you. Plus a little something we know you will love that the bottom of this description. We take you on a walk through of the ship and provide you with loads of info for you and your family.
Disney Cruises are now launching from Australia in October 2023. We're incredibly excited by this news. We cannot recommend Disney Wonder enough.
Our 4 night cruise departed from Vancouver and we disembarked in San Diego.
The kids throughly enjoyed their time on the cruise. Both Nate and Aria were really big fans of the Oceaneers Club and Lab. They just had an absolute ball. The youth crew members in the club and lab are truly amazing humans.
All meals, drinks, such as soft drinks, coffee and water, entertainment, games, and shows are included in the cost. WOW!!
You do however have to pay for alcohol and specialty coffees such as lattes and cappuccinos .
Throughout the cruise, you will rotate through 3 different restaurants.
* Tritons
* Animator's Palete
* Tiarna's Place
The vibe in these restaurants are truly magical, the food is delicious.
We did feel like Animator's Palete, didnt have a menu that was super child friendly. However, we still found the food delicious and we had the best time.
The shows onboard, are truly incredible. We experienced 3 broadway style shows.
* Golden Mickeys
* Frozen the musical
* Disney Dreams
The cast in these shows are fantastic, and they consistently deliver true Disney quality performances.
For the adults, you can experience quiet in Quiet Cove. This is an adults only, 18+ area. Sorry kiddies.
This means, you can purchase a beverage from Signals, find a lay about and relax in the sun.
We won BINGO!!! Well, Nate won! and he wont let us forget it. lol.
The entertainment crew onboard are next level. They go above and beyond to keep everyone entertained, hyped, excited and just having an absolute blast.
Our little fam bam had the best time onboard. We are now addicted to Disney Cruises.
Time to sign us up as members lol.
We cannot wait to book our next one.
Are you planning a Disney Cruise?
We have the ultimate Disney Cruise Planner for you.

The guidelines have just recently changed. So on the Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish fully vaccinated guests will no longer be required to submit negative covid test results before setting sail. Fully vaccinated guests sailing on Disney Magic will have to wait until Nov 7th to skip the testing. I hope this helps a little .

Hi, I'm answering in the assumption that you hadn't already found an answer. From what I understand, they're called 'Fish Extenders' and act as a mailbox for dinner invitations and information from the cruise staff, they're usually labelled with names, photos or roles of those staying in the room. If you're crafty enough, you can make it, otherwise sites like etsy are a lovely place to buy one as I don't believe the cruise has any (Although I may be wrong, I'm working with limited research!). I've gathered that alternatively, guests often exchange gifts, like in a secret santa, typically organised prior to the cruise by guests (likely a facebook group or something similar) as it's not run by the cruise line. I hope this roughly put together information wall of text helps out you or someone with a similar question and I hope to be corrected by someone if I got anything wrong :D
Amazing video, if you could only go for 2 nights do you think it would be worth it? It’s almost sold out in Aus with only 2 nights left for around $6k 😢

Hey there, oh thank you so much. We hope you found it helpful. Hmmm, We have been asked this question a lot. I don't actually think that we would pay that amount of money for a 2 night. Its a lot of money. If we were going to spend that money we would probably save a little more and go to Orlando, do a few days at the parks and then do the cruise to the Caribbean. But honestly that is just us.

You can take your backpacks with you. Our backpacks had our passports, any medications etc. Then you go through check in like you do at an airport, where you show your passports and proof of booking etc. Then you will be directed to board the ship. Your luggage will arrive at your room a little later. We were able to go to our room around 1pm. And out luggage was at our room. 👍🏻

Disembarking was super easy. You have two options: 1 is to put your bags outside your stateroom by 10.30pm the night before disembarking. The crew members will take your suitcases and you can collect them the next morning once you have cleared customs. Option 2: is take your bags with you. We didn’t get our bags out in the corridor in time the night before. So we had no choice but to take them with us. This meant we just had to put them somewhere while eating breakfast. The crew are amazingly helpful and there are loads of places to leave them. Once you have had breakfast you can make your way off the ship and head to customs on the wharf. Once cleared you can just leave. We took our bags with us and we do so again. It was super fast and really easy. The crew are amazing. It took perhaps 30 mins to make our way through the customs line. But it didn’t feel like that. It felt a lot shorter
