Disney Wonder<\/em> to get enhancements from \u201cstern to deck\u201d<\/h4>\n

My first Disney cruise was on the Disney Wonder,<\/em> and I have fond memories of the ship at Castaway Cay when the Flying Dutchman<\/em>, the prop ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> movies, was still roaming the seas.<\/p>\n

\"Disney<\/p>\n

I am excited about Disney\u2019s announcement that the ship will go into dry dock and get quite a beauty treatment. The ship, in service since 1999, holds about 2,700 passengers and 950 crew members and plies the seas from Alaska to the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

When the Disney Wonder<\/em> returns to sea in late fall, guests will be able to experience a range of new offerings. I am most looking forward to dining at Tiana\u2019s Place, a restaurant inspired by Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog<\/em>. Disney promises New Orleans-style food and entertainment, with live music creating the atmosphere of a French Quarter supper club. The restaurant is not an addition to the existing full-service restaurants; rather, Tiana\u2019s Place will replace Parrot Cay.<\/p>\n

\"Tiana's<\/p>\n

Animator\u2019s Palate will now feature the popular \u201cDrawn to Magic\u201d and \u201cAnimation Magic\u201d dinner shows; Cabanas will get a makeover; and Palo, the upscale specialty restaurant, will shine in new Venetian-inspired d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

The Diversions sports bar on Deck 3 Forward will be replaced with a brand-new English pub. The pub will be decorated with dark woods, plush leather furniture, brass accents, and artwork giving a subtle nod to classic Disney films set in London. The pub will serve British and specialty beers.<\/p>\n

Kids will love to hear that Spider-Man and other Marvel Super Heroes will appear in person at Disney\u2019s Oceaneer Club. The new Marvel Super Hero Academy will offer exciting adventures for kids ages 3 to 12.<\/p>\n

\"Spider<\/p>\n

Little tykes are not forgotten either, as Club Disney Junior will feature favorite Disney Junior characters, storytelling, and games, including a special visit by Doc McStuffins. And, in Andy\u2019s Room, Woody and Jessie will appear in person. Last but not least, there will be plenty of Frozen<\/em> adventures and royal in-person visit by Anna and Elsa to the Oceaneer Club.<\/p>\n

A reimagined and relaxing Senses Spa & Salon will also offer the Chill Teen Spa program designed exclusively for guests ages 13 to 17.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to the Disney Wonder<\/em> offering entertainment and amenities that will be in line with the Dream<\/em>, Fantasy<\/em>, and Magic<\/em>. While Disney announces enhancements from \u201cstern to deck,\u201d including the upper decks. Kids will be able to enjoy a new AquaLab pool, Dory\u2019s Reef Splash zone, and a Twist \u2018n\u2019 Spout waterslide. We unfortunately won\u2019t see the addition of a popular waterslide such as the AquaDuck on the Dream<\/em> and Fantasy<\/em>, or the AquaDunk on the Magic<\/em>\u2014maybe next time.<\/p>\n

You can experience the newly enhanced Disney Wonder <\/em>as of November 10th for sailings from Galveston, Texas, to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, until the ship sails to San Juan, Puerto Rico, on January 20, 2017. On January 26, 2017, a three-night cruise takes guests from San Juan to Port Canaveral, where the ship will homeport for the spring.
