The Disney Cruise Line is highlighting cruises aboard the Disney Wonder that start in San Diego and take cruisers on adventures south to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. The cruises range in length with 3-Night, 4-Night, and 7-Night itineraries available. They can be booked through Mouseways Travel, the official travel partner of Daps Magic. The cruises allow for visits to Catalina Island, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and other destinations. They also all provide visits to these beautiful locations that get an added dose of pixie dust that comes with cruising aboard the Disney Cruise Line.
Cruising aboard the Disney Wonder isn’t just about the destination, however. It’s about the journey aboard this beautiful ship. While cruising down to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious dining experience with live entertainment at Tiana’s Palace. The Animator’s Palate provides a magical dining experience that is, well… animated! Animator’s Palate inspires creativity with “Drawn to Magic,” a black-and-white to color animation show that surrounds guests in the swirling colors of animated classics and transports their dining experience into a dramatic story of heroes and villains. Tritons offers an upscale restaurant offering sophisticated family dining “under the sea.”
For guests looking for entertainment aboard the Disney Wonder, there is no shortage of that as well. There is live music to be enjoyed and also some incredible stage shows, including Frozen, A Musical Spectacular! This Broadway-style musical brings the story of Anna and Elsa of Arendelle to life in a magical retelling of this fan-favorite animated feature.
There are also no shortage of activities to be enjoyed aboard the Disney Wonder. Below is at the facts behind this magical ship:
