On Day 4 of our cruise, we woke up and headed to breakfast in Parrot Cay. They have yogurt and donuts which my kids loved, sea food which my hubby loved, and hot items such as oatmeal, eggs, bacon and such that I love. On our way to childcare (after breakfast) we saw Peter Pan and took pictures with him. We then dropped the kids off and went to our room to pack a few things while they were in kids club.
We picked the kids back up within an hour and changed to go swimming. We swam for an hour then went inside for the Character dance party. We danced for 30 minutes solid and the kids enjoyed their time with the characters. (Pretty much everyone except the princess’ where there.) We changed quickly and headed to Lumieres for lunch. You can not wear swim wear to Lumieres and you must have on shoes. After lunch we took the kids to back Kids Club to enjoy “Where is Tink” while we worked out in the fitness center on deck 9. After an hour workout, we picked up the kids and headed to our appointment to have their hair braided. It was only $2.50 a braid and we had one across the front of their heads done. Super fast, and so cute.
We dropped them back off in Kid’s Club for “Friendship Rocks” practice…a performance that they would do with Mickey and Minnie on the big stage later that evening. We went back to our room and packed some more during this time.
At 5, we were seated and ready to watch our kids perform with Mickey and Minnie in the Walt Disney Theater. They did an awesome job and got a free shirt too. We went to our final dinner, at Lumieres. At the end of dinner, the servers came out carrying their country flag to “it’s a small world after all”. It was very moving to see so many countries represented. After dinner we headed to the family dance party in the Promenade lounge. I ordered a margarita for just $5.75! We then headed to Disney Dreams show. This show was AWESOME! It was 4 D and the kids LOVED it. We then ran the kids down to childcare for the Final Farewell party and to get their bracelets cut off. (You have to do this and get a receipt or you will be charged $50 per bracelet!) We went to deck 9 and tried to find a late night treat, but decided that we needed to pack the rest of our stuff instead. (I did grab some hot tea!) We picked up the kids at 10 to enjoy the “Til We Meet Again” party in the atrium with all of the characters. Princess’ came to this party. All of the characters were there and we danced with them and enjoyed giving hugs, one last time.
We went to our rooms and finished packing and ordered cookies via room service, one last time. We were exhausted and had to get up early for breakfast. They do not offer room service for breakfast that final morning, but do every other morning. You can get food from one of the restaurants and bring it to your room if you want…and this is what we did.
The disembarking was super easy. We took all of our bags (or you can “check” them the night before you port if you don’t want to take them with you off of the ship.) and enjoyed Express Walk off. We docked at 6:45 and were off of the ship by 7:45. We just had to show our birth certificates and Key to the World cards one last time to exit. We were so very sad to leave, but had a great time!

Christie, I went on a Disney cruise on the Wonder about 4yrs ago and it was one of the BEST vacations EVER. We went to the Bahamas (which I didn’t really care for) and then on to Castaway Cay which was awesome. The whole island was just beautiful and you can smell the barbeque cooking while on the beach. We had so much fun that we are planning on going back next year once we have the money saved up.
