Welcome aboard, Missy! It sounds like you have a magical sailing with Disney coming up!
Disney Cruise Line's Pirates IN the Caribbean Deck Party is one of the most popular evenings onboard the ship. Families bring pirate costumes and accessories from home, or purchase them onboard, and get decked out in their swashbuckling best for an exciting night. This is the only night that you'll experience fireworks at sea during your sailing, so you won't want to miss it! The pirate fun begins with a pirate-themed menu at dinner, your favorite characters out in the atrium for photo opportunities as they sport their pirate costumes (don't forget your camera that night!), and of course, pirates games and activities out on the pool deck, rounded out by fireworks at sea, like only Disney can do! My family's favorite place to watch the fireworks on the Wonder is Deck 10, on the starboard side. The port side is great too, just be sure you're not behind the funnels, as the fireworks are shot from the starboard side, and the funnels may partially block your view.
When you're not hanging out with Captain Jack Sparrow, you'll have plenty of time during the rest of your sailing to enjoy the pool deck and all of the fun it has to offer. You'll be happy to hear that the Disney Wonder has a one-deck-high waterslide at
Mickey's Pool. Mickey's slide is a fun open top, bright yellow slide, with some twists and turns. My kids love this slide. I have priceless photos from each of our cruises of them splashing out of the bottom of the slide with huge smiles on their faces! There is a height requirement for the slide of 38 inches to 64 inches.
Enjoy the fun of planning your cruise, Missy, and please stop back with any other questions you might have before you set sail!
