Disney Dreams

Disney Dreams is a stage show on the Wonder. It's about a little girl who falls asleep after her mom reads a bedtime story to her. In her dreams, Peter Pan takes her to visit "genies, princesses, and kings."

What's better than a party in the Caribbean? A party with pirates in the Caribbean, of course! This little party had lots of characters, dancing, some yummy desserts, and fireworks.

Disney's Castaway Cay

Welcome to Castaway Cay! Due to high winds, we weren't sure we'd be able to dock, but our captain was able to pull it off! This was our first glimpse of the island from our verandah:

Looks like Santa was taking a 

little pre-Christmas break!

After eating a nice breakfast, Marc and I disembarked and headed out to check out the island. It had a lot of Disney touches but not in an obnoxious way.




Everything was so colorful and inviting! We headed over to the adult beach to see what it was like. Unfortunately, it was full of seaweed, due to a storm the night before. So we hopped on a tram and headed back to the main beach.




The water was a little chilly so I didn't get in. But Marc did! He said it wasn't that bad once you were in. I wasn't buy it, though!



Castaway Cay has a neat little area called Stingray Bay where you can see stingrays close-up and pet them. They are calm and docile and not afraid of humans. Marc didn't have to go to Stingray Bay to see them, though, because they were swimming right up to him. Apparently, the storm the night before had a lot of high waves that swept the stingrays out of Stingray Bay so they were swimming around out of their area.

Always have to take at least one 

"toes in the sand" picture!

After eating lunch with the DisUnplugged Podcast group, we walked around the island and then headed back to the ship. It was a great day!

The Disney Wonder

Dinner at Animator's Palate

Our favorite restaurant on the cruise, not necessarily food-wise, had to have been Animator's Palate. The whole restaurant, down to the servers' uniforms, starts out in black and white. Then, color is slowly added throughout dinner.

Marc ordered the grilled veal chop with mushroom sauce and red bliss potatoes. I ordered the three-cheese lobster macaroni from Triton.

Next up was dessert! Marc ordered the double-fudge cake with vanilla bean ice cream. I ordered the apple crumble. Our server, Marko, heard us saying that no dessert would compare to the Grand Marnier souffle, so what did he do? HE BROUGHT US SOME FROM TRITON!!! Love that guy!

The best dessert EVER! Grand Marnier Souffle

That souffle totally made our night! I'm drooling just thinking about it!

Views from the Verandah

We had some magnificent views from our verandah while we were aboard the Disney Wonder. Here are a few of my favorite pictures:







Absolutely breathtaking!!!
