Guest Trip Report: January 9, 2019 Galveston to San Juan on the Disney Wonder – Day 2

Our daughter climbed in bed with us at some point in the night. The ship was moving quite a bit.  Room service knocked on our door by accident at 7:00 AM. This was a bummer because I had requested it to be delivered at 9:00 and this woke everyone up! I turned on Cars for the kids and my husband went in the master bedroom and went back to sleep. Room service was delivered at 8:00. I could have sworn I asked for 9:00, but since the kids were up already it was no big deal. We ate breakfast while we watched Cars.

The kids and I went to meet Captain America.  There was a time change during the night and somehow I missed this! So breakfast was delivered at 9:00, I just thought it was 8:00! And we missed Captain America. The boys wanted to go build a fort in the Oceaneers Club, so we dropped them off. My daughter and I went to meet Minnie.

We then all went to see Spiderman. My husband met up with us and took our daughter with him to the concierge lounge for snacks. She was having a hard time waiting!

My husband and the kids got in their swimsuits and headed to the pool. I think they ate lunch poolside, but I’m not totally sure since I wasn’t there! 

I left them and went with 2 of the ladies we were traveling with to go to the Chocolate and Liquor tasting. The cost was $35 per person. We all loved it!

We had white and caramel melted chocolate, white, caramel, and dark chocolate pieces, parmesan reggiano and melted dark chocolate:

It was a lot of fun. The Sommelier told us that champagne pairs well with fried foods. I love champagne and fried foods, so I was excited to learn this! All the pairings were delicious.

My husband and kids were in the room taking showers. I picked our daughter up for her appointment at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. She wasn’t able to do this on our last cruise because she was too young. She was super excited to go! My husband and the boys went to see Ralph Breaks the Internet. We saw it a couple of months ago, but they loved it and wanted to see it again. At BBB our daughter decided on the Frozen package and chose Elsa. The size 4 dress barely fit, but the next size up was a 5/6 and it was way too big. She fell asleep during her appointment. It was so sweet. She got a blonde braid, some hair jewels and an Olaf with her package. The blonde braid with her brown hair was so funny! When we got to the room that night, BBB had sent her a Magical Moments certificate for being a Sleeping Beauty.

She was refreshed from her nap at BBB! We met my husband and the boys for the Royal Court Royal Tea Party. We did this on our last cruise, but our daughter was too young, so we decided to do it again. She and I were going to do it solo, but the boys were not cool with that, so we all went. They get so much swag at this thing. Our daughter got a crown, a Cinderella doll, a jewelry box with a necklace and bracelet, an autograph book and a pen. The boys got a sword and shield, a drawstring bag, a sailor teddy bear, an autograph book and a pen. And every time one of the princesses comes in, they give the little girls a charm for their bracelets and the boys get a pin. No wonder it is so expensive! The tea was delicious. The kids get apple juice instead of tea. The sandwiches were ok. The bread was dry. It was dry the last time too. The desserts were delicious. The cupcakes the kids get are huge! You put in your prince princess request ahead of time for your cupcake. The boys chose Prince Phillip (because he fights dragons) and our daughter chose Tiana. It is a fun experience, but very expensive, so I really don’t think we will be doing this on future cruises.

They announce you as Princess or Prince “Name” as you walk in. 

Our oldest wanted to go back to kids club, so we dropped him off. We went back to the room to drop off all the swag. We then ran up to the concierge lounge so I could order hot breakfast for room service and cancel the boys’ tickets for the princess meet and greets. They decided they no longer wanted to go. Concierge guests can order a hot breakfast for room service and you can order from the menu of whichever restaurant is serving brunch that day. However, you can’t have it delivered until the restaurant opens. They wouldn’t have been able to deliver until 9:30 at the earliest, and we had princesses to meet the next day! If you want something basic, they will let you order from Cabanas. So I ordered pancakes, eggs, bacon and fruit for 5 people, orange juice for the kids and coffee for the grown ups. Our middle child loves shopping, so we went back to the gift shops to browse again. I don’t remember anyone buying anything this time. We picked up our oldest from the kids club and headed to dinner, which was at Tiana’s Place tonight. The music was amazing and we all loved seeing Tiana and Louis.

I missed taking a picture of our first course, but here is what we had.

The kids went to the Oceaneer’s Club when they were done eating. The grown-ups finished our desserts and coffee. My husband and I headed up to the concierge lounge to get drinks and popcorn and then picked up the kids from the club. They were all excited about seeing the Golden Mickeys. We all loved it!

After the show, we headed back to the room and went to bed. We had a penguin towel animal tonight!
