a few weeks ago we got to sail on the disney wonder for a very merrytime cruise,
so today we get to take a tour of this beautiful ship.
one of the many fun things about disney cruises is that when you board they introduce you
you board the ship on deck 3 in the lobby atrium and you can see since it's a holiday cruise
basically a christmas cruise the ship is just beautifully decorated there's minnie and mickey
on the left you can see it's just a gorgeous ship with all the amazing decorations in the atrium
and the holiday decorations all over the railings and they do a show when you come aboard so enjoy
hello everyone i'm Gus and i'm here with captain mickey hi hulk and captain minnie
oh hello everyone minnie and mickey insisted that they join me here today
to be the first to welcome you onboard the beautiful disney wonder we missed you
we cannot tell you how great it feels to see our castle nature filled with families again families
that are about to make lifelong memories together our shipwrecked family has been working tirelessly
to make sure that your family can experience the magic that is disney now captains take it away
so just a fun way to welcome you on board and they also use the atrium for character
greetings you can see chip and dale and they have santa on board since it was a holiday sailing.
