BTW I thought of a question- does the Wonder have on demand Disney movies in the cabins like the Dream and Fantasy? It didn't on our previous cruises, but I figure they must have upgraded the TV's by now. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was shocked by that, I figured with the last renovations done in 2016 they would have added that. It really sucked with kids, it comes in handy when getting ready or in the mornings, we kept catching movies in the same spot every time we turned it on. On the Fantasy it was nice to be able to turn on Mickey Mouse Club house in the mornings. I actually just saw a couple days ago that the Magic is just out of a refurb and it was big news that they added on-demand to their TVs. So now the Wonder is the only one without on-demand. On another note, for the Christmas cruise they showed White Christmas, Elf, and something else continuously. I was happy about that but I would of expected the Santa Claus movies also or some other Disney Christmas movies. WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to break the bad news to the twins that they're going to have to wait some more to see the end of The Great Mouse Detective. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to make Mrs. WBI watch that once on Netflix but she couldn't do it, it's not as great as I had remembered. It looks like they missed it though it was pulled from Netflix back in 2016. But they could rent it online for $2.99, that's cheaper than booking another cruise. WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On our last cruise the twins watched stuff like that while their older sister was trying to sleep. I'm pretty sure they don't care to see the end of it. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We always got some funny looks when we popped up on that one. My reservation for the upcoming Wonder cruise was a "Guarantee" reservation, and we just found out that we will be on Deck 5, aft. I like the location. I know that I once took those secret stars all the way down to Animator's Palate on Deck 4, but I may have gone past a crew member only sign on the way down the stairs. Since the twins work for Disney, I am on strict orders to follow the rules. So, do you know how far guests are allowed to go on the secret staircase? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD We were on 5 aft, I just looked back and our room numbers were 5633 and 5635. I really liked it. Few rooms on the hallway so not a lot of traffic, and I liked being near the theater. And near the theater bathrooms when the stateroom bathroom was occupied. I remember using the secret stairs but sorry can't remember how far I went on it. Plus that was 3 years ago.

WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Time for an update! I just posted Day 6 of our Disney Cruise. Today we went to Key West, where I took to W to some historic sites, like Captain Tony's, Hog's Breath, and Sloppy Joe's where he had a custom drink at the bar! The rest of the day we tried to enjoy the ship as much as we could. W got to get up on the main stage for his Oceaneer Club performance and did great, better than he did at his own school recital a week earlier. All in all it was a great day! WBI Who I had to go back and edit that post, I said it was our last full day but that's not true, we had one more sea day left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the ole days, we started a tradition of driving down to Key West the weekend before Lisa's school year started up. We'd wake up super early and drive down. We would always have a breakfast beer at Hogs Breath, some of my favorite memories were how happy and excited we were to get to that little outdoor bar and have a mini one night vacation. We tried to do that this trip but for some reason they bartender wasn't ready so we moved it to Sloppy Joes! WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I just posted day 7, our last full day which happens to be a sea day. Today we: Built a gingerbread house Met Santa Hung out at the pool Ate at Animator's Palate again And relaxed all day. WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Here it is the last video from our Disney Wonder Cruise. It was a quick morning, we opted to skip on the main dining room and instead went to the buffet for a leisure early breakfast, then back to our room to enjoy our balcony one last time. The atrium was crowded but we slowly made our way off the ship. Once off the ship the baggage area was huge and we had no problem getting help with our bags, then we cruised through customs where they were literally just hanging out talking not checking anyone. Then I decided W and I would go get the trusty SUV so we didn't have to deal with putting our bags on the shuttle. We soon found the long shuttle line, but we also overhead someone asking about walking so we opted to walk to the parking lot. It was real easy, except for W throwing a fit that he wanted to ride in the shuttle. Before long we were loaded up and headed east, including another stop at Buc-ee's for snacks.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Great job on the final videos! And really good job on the List of Fun. I was looking to see if you got #32 done- eating a Mickey pretzel. I know they have those on some ships, but I've never seen them out either. And no Mickey ice cream bars? I will have at least one per day on my cruise. It looks like you had great weather, and I really like that itinerary. Thanks for taking the time to make and post the videos!
