Ahoy there, Lauren!
How exciting to be counting down to the New Year while counting down the minutes to your Disney Cruise Line holiday! I'm happy to help with your question so you are ready to go in just a few days.
Your cruise from
Sydney on January 3, 2025, will embark and disembark from the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Once you arrive at the port, you can follow signs directing you to the Disney Cruise Line ship terminal. Keep in mind there is no parking at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, so I recommend checking the Port Authority of New South Wales website for more information.
The port address is:
West 130 Argyle Street
The Rocks, NSW, 2000
Australia
As you finish
packing your luggage, Lauren, remember to place your
travel documents, medications and valuables in your hand luggage. I like to add some sunscreen and a
refillable water bottle to my bag. If you plan to enjoy Goofy's Pool or Twist 'n' Spout, you will want to add a swimsuit to your carry-on, too. Your checked luggage will be waiting outside your stateroom later in the day.
You are going to love
Disney Wonder, Lauren! One of my favorite
Rotational Dining restaurants,
Tiana's Place, will have you tapping your toes while enjoying the very best desserts! Mama Odie's Chocolate Bread Pudding and the delicious New Orleans Banana Foster Sundae are so good that you should ask for one of each! I've been known to enjoy 2 or 3!
After dinner, I recommend relaxing in the mahogany leather seating in the
Cadillac Lounge and enjoying the fun live music. Ask the mixologist to make you their signature Singapore Sling, a delicious mixture of No. 3 London Dry Gin, Cherry Heering, Bénédictine, fresh pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and bitters. It is yummy!
As we count down to 2025, I'll be sailing off into the sunset here at planDisney for a while, but my friends will be here to answer your questions in the future. I hope you enjoy your Disney Cruise Line holiday, Lauren!
Wishing you many magical memories in the New Year,
Shannon
