Well, shiver me timbers and hiya, Tim!
I’m so glad to SEA you here at planDisney with your question. The
Disney Wonder is perfect for celebrating a large family gathering. There's nothing quite like Tiana’s Place for making everyone feel welcome and it is one of my favorite Disney Cruise Line dining venues! And don’t get me started about the desserts they serve. But since I’m already thinking about it, make sure you try Tiana's Buttermilk Beignets, Mama Odie's Chocolate Bread Pudding and the decadent New Orleans Banana Foster Sundae. Remember, you can ask for one of each!
Unfortunately, the deck parties are not viewable from the staterooms or from the lounge areas. But never fear Tim, my planDisney pal
Adrianna made a great suggestion for your family. For the
Mickey’s Sail-A-Wave Party!, as soon as the muster drill is over, head to Deck 9 and find a table in front of
Pinocchio’s Pizzeria. You can use the
Midship or Aft elevators to easily access this area. This seating area would also be ideal for the
Pirates In the Caribbean deck party, just be sure to sit on the port side of the ship so your crew can easily view the fireworks. Another suggestion I would offer is to view both events from Deck 10, in the areas running along the sides of Goofy’s Famiy Pool area. Remember, both shows are projected on the Funnel Vision, so you should be able to view the parties without too much difficulty no matter where you are seated.
If any of your family members utilize a wheelchair, there is an activity participation area for Guests on Deck 9 Midship, port side, and on Deck 10. About 30 minutes before the deck parties begin, there will be Crew Members in these areas to assist you but do plan to arrive no later than 10 minutes prior to the deck parties start time.
Tim, did you know that at Mickey’s Sail-A-Wave Party! Guests are invited to Disney Bound inspired by their favorite Disney character? You can also
purchase your own Mickey gloves onboard or prior to your cruise so you can wave goodbye to all your worries and hello to your magical vacation with Mickey and the gang!
I hope this information has been helpful, Tim. We would love to see you sail back by planDisney and allow our cruise specialists,
Tracie and
Adrianna, to assist you with any other questions you might have!
Wishing you smooth sailing,
Shannon
