🎈Regret After a Disney Cruise?! Here’s Why…

Just got off the Disney Wonder in Australia, and honestly—I have some regrets 😩: 1️⃣ Wish I Decorated Our Door! Everyone else had fancy magnets and Disney art on their cabin doors… ours was embarrassingly plain. Later I found out crew sometimes leave surprise gifts for decorated doors 🎁. Missed out big time! 2️⃣ Wish I Boarded Earlier One more hour on the ship = one more hour of Disney magic. Should’ve booked an earlier check-in slot. 3️⃣ Wish I Downloaded the App Sooner Some free events like the “Royal Gathering” need to be reserved on the app. I missed it completely 🥲 🛳️ But despite the FOMO, the 5-day 4-night sailing was better than any theme park experience! We boarded in Melbourne, had two days at sea, one day in Hobart, and disembarked on Day 5. Apart from the ticket, we paid USD $58 per person in gratuities—almost no other mandatory costs! 🎉 What made the cruise magical: • Activities run non-stop from 6 AM to midnight • Deck parties at night were electric ⚡️ • Fireworks at sea—twice! Even better than in the parks • Daily Broadway-level shows at Walt Disney Theatre • Meet-and-greets with no endless queues 🙌 🍽️ Food Tips: • “Cabanas” buffet was our fave (congee, fried rice, and more) • Rotational dining at Animator’s Palate, Triton’s, and Tiana’s Place—check the app for daily assignments • Bring your own water bottle! Deck 9 has free coffee, milk, tea, and soft-serve ice cream all day 🧋🍦 🛏️ Room Advice: Inside staterooms are enough—you’ll barely be in there. But do enjoy the nightly towel animals, chocolates, and themed surprises! 👶 Bringing kids? There are three age-based kids’ clubs on board with non-stop fun and free babysitting-like programs. Parents, rejoice! 📌 I’ll be back—and next time on the Disney Adventure. What I missed this time, I’ll win back for sure! #disneycruise #disneywonder #cruiselife #hiddenmagic #seafireworks #familyvacation #disneytips
