We are finally Home, Sweet Home from our fabulous Disney Cruise! We had a fun-filled eight days and seven nights cruising the Mexican Riviera and can't wait to share our experience with you! We'll be sharing our vacation day-by-day to stretch out our pictures and stories.
Enjoy!

After driving to Santa Clarita the evening before, we woke up on Sunday morning ready to hit the road for the last stretch of driving before arriving at the San Pedro Port to board the Disney Wonder. We (re)packed our overnight bags, grabbed some breakfast, and off we were!
We arrived to the port at around 11:30am - about an hour and a half before boarding time - but exhausted most of that time simply unloading our luggage and crossing the parking lot to the Disney Cruise Line boarding area.
We checked our passports, received our "Key to the World" cards, and even had a chance to meet Mickey Mouse!
Seeing the Disney Wonder for the first time was incredible. The detail in the floors, the walls, the signage - every part of the ship said "Disney!"

We headed straight for our stateroom to wait for our luggage to arrive - Fortunately, it all did!

It wasn't long after unpacking our luggage, conducting a self-tour of the ship, and participating in the "should our ship sink" drill that it was time for dinner. Our first assigned restaurant was called the Animator's Palate. Each restaurant on the Disney Wonder has something special about it. At AP, the walls, ceilings, columns, and even our restaurant staff's uniform, start off the meal in black and white.

Throughout the meal, the decor began to change color and, eventually, looked like this:

On our way back to the room after dinner, we ran into a dance party happening on the 3rd floor. In true Frazier fashion, Wyatt and Hallie couldn't resist busting a few moves before bedtime!
...And waiting for us back in the room was the cruise traditional towel-made octopus and the next day's itinerary.
Until tomorrow...
