We arrived at the Disney Terminal in Port Canaveral, and quickly boarded the ship. I think the entire check-in process took 30 minutes.
Once on board we went straight to the buffet, and then to our cabin to check things out. The cabins were larger than any of the other cruise lines I had been on. They say they are 25% larger. I loved that there were two bathrooms. One with a toilet and sink and one with a shower/tub and sink. Perfect for the family of 4.
My little guy is checking things out.
Prior to taking off the ship has a safety demo on deck.Can you tell how happy my little one was? He just wants to take off.
The ship was amazing. The kids pool included a water slide.
Movie screen and stage at the teen pool.
The kids club was the best part.The club hours were 9am to 1am
Parents are given a pager and can be reached at any time.
My hubby and I went to Palo for the first nights dinner.
This adults only restaurant was AMAZING.
Our little guy paged us about 30 minutes into our 6 course meal. :)
He just wanted to be with mom and dad.Nightly we would hang out in the movie theater watching new movies like Bolt.
The next morning we find ourselves in the Bahamaswith a view of The Atlantis Resort.

The 6 Stingrays were HUGE!!!
We headed back to the ship to spend the day at the pool.The Mickey pool and water slide are protected by 4 lifeguards.
Parents can relax and know their kids are safe and having fun!
Our little guy had fun on his first water slide.
Night two was at Titanswith a pirate theme.
Captain Jack Sparrow and my own little pirate.
Grrrrrrrr....
After an AMAZING Broadway style play "Toy Story"We made it to the top deck for the pirate party and fireworks.
Even the parents are dressed-up like pirates.
At the end of the night we made it back to the cabinand found a hanging monkey.
It was adorable and the perfect end to a fabulous day.

Los Angeles officials has signed off last Thursday, March 30, 2009, for the plans of bringing the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship, beginning January 1, 2011, to San Pedro. The ship, running on low-sulfur fuel, will use the port's existing cruise terminal and berths.
The approval for this arrangement is expected to be approved by the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners later this week. The two year contract includes a three-year extension option that will allow the Disney Wonder to operate for a series of cruises until December 31, 2015. During the summer of 2005 and 2008, Disney also operated cruises out of the Los Angeles Port sailing along the coast of Mexico although, final itineraries for the Disney Wonder is not yet finalized as said by Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo.
The city, port and Disney officials made their announcement saying that the arrival of the cruise line to Los Angeles from Florida, will also generate 2600 new jobs on cruise and millions of dollars for the state and local in terms of tax revenue.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is very pleased with this and at a Hollywood theater he announced “during these tough times when the day's top stories beat us down with news of the recession, layoffs and drops in tourism, 2,600 new jobs with 250,000 visitors is a headline I'd like to see more often”.
Moving the Disney Wonder to Los Angeles despite of recession and economic turndown, is actually a sign of the company's expansion as it will make way for two new larger ships: Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy which when finished, will be anchored at Port Canaveral, Florida.
