New Year’s on the Disney Wonder: Our Disney Cruise Review

To ring in the new year, we surprised the kids with an impromptu Disney cruise aboard the Disney Wonder, sailing from Galveston, Texas, to Cozumel, Mexico, just as Disney relaunched its fleet with enhanced safety protocols. The surprises started early, with an upgrade to United Polaris business class on the flight.

On board, we had lunch at Tiana’s Place, checked out the kids clubs, toured our stateroom, dined at Animator’s Palate, Palo and Triton’s, and explored the after-hours lounges. A twister boat ride and a private beach rounded things out. Our verdict on whether the Disney magic survived the pandemic is in the episode.
