Disney Wonder Baja Cruise: Day 4 - Animator’s Palette

Date of Visit: October 17, 2018

While Tiana’s may be our new favorite, Animator’s Palette is still fun. It’s really fun to see the different sketches and how they come to life at points and then around dessert Sorcerer Mickey comes out and everything gets color.

Mik enjoyed the Bora Shake with dinner.

For the appetizer, Mik went with the Sliced Serrano Ham.

Mik enjoyed the Herb Crusted Pork Chop for his entree.

For dessert, Mik for once didn’t go with the sundae because I did and instead went with the Chocolate Fudge Cheesecake, which he liked, but I think he likes the Cookies ’n Cream Sundae more as he was eyeing mine.

Disney Wonder Baja Cruise: Day 4 - Halloween Origami

Date of Visit: October 17, 2018

Out of all the origami, Mik was most interested in the Halloween one. It turned out to be a big disappointment. It was mainly because it was the only time we’ve done something in the Promenade Lounge and the place was totally packed. We were lucky enough to have a table, but then ended up with a family joining us that was kind of out of control and ended up with wet paper and Mik kept getting bumped.

We also didn’t enjoy this origami because the person leading it wasn’t easy to follow and they were just harder origami in general. Finally, Mik was just disappointed that the things were rather a stretch to be Halloween other than the bat. Like I guess the ball could’ve been a pumpkin if I could’ve actually figured it out to do right and it had been orange paper, but the “box” that was more of a little basket was quite a stretch.

Disney Wonder Baja Cruise: Day 4 - Origami Creations

Date of Visit: October 17, 2018

This origami was probably our favorite. It wasn’t anything all that special that we made (turtle, penguin, heart, and, sailboat), but the person leading it was doing it their first time and went slow and repeated steps to make sure everyone could follow along. They were also probably some of the easier ones since he was new to it, but it was still fun in that it wasn’t just making one thing like the flower one.

Disney Wonder Baja Cruise: Day 3 - Pirates in the Caribbean Dinner at Triton's

Date of Visit: October 16, 2018

Pirate night has always been our least favorite. The food isn’t bad and actually, I think the menu has been reworked since the last time we cruised. Also, we managed to get through dinner quickly and sneak out just as they started the pirate entertainment part that we just aren’t into.

Mik had the “Boucanier” Smoked Saucisson, Baked Brie, Brioche and Honey. He enjoyed it, although found it a little hard to get out of the dish and eat.

He kept going back and forth on what to get for his entree, especially since he had yet to order any kind of steak as he sometimes does almost every night on a cruise. In the end, he went with the Tia Dalma’s Jerk Chicken as it seemed most fitting for the Caribbean and he was glad he did.

Dessert was actually an easy choice as most of the choices weren’t even a little tempting for him. He did enjoy the Bananas in Paradise, although he thought the wrong dessert was delivered because it looks more like a slice of cake as it is a layered dessert with banana bread and not slices of banana bread as he imagined.

Disney Wonder Baja Cruise: Day 3 - Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Date of Visit: October 16, 2018

Since Cabo San Lucas is a tender port, Mik couldn’t get off the ship. Mom and I did get off and walked along the waterfront, stopped at Starbucks for a mug for her collection, and quickly popped into Cabo Wabo Cantina to get drumsticks for Mik’s collection (sadly Hard Rock Cafe is no longer walkable here as they have a hotel, which is rather far to walk to from cruise terminal).

While Mik couldn’t get off the ship in Cabo, he did still get to enjoy some good scenery just from the ship. We enjoyed some drinks on our verandah as well as lunch up by the pool taking in the view.

Disney Wonder Baja Cruise: Day 2 - Triton's

Date of Visit: October 15, 2018

As Mik loves mango, he had the specialty non-alcoholic drink called the Princess Delight.

As usual, Mik had to have Gaston’s Escargot Gratinee

Mik enjoyed the Roasted Rack of Lamb Medium for his entree.

For dessert, he enjoyed the Apple Tart Tatin.

Disney Wonder Baja Cruise: Day 2 - Black Widow

Date of Visit: October 15, 2018

We are pretty much never into characters and I don’t even pay attention to them, but when scrolling through the daily activities on the app I noticed Black Widow and when I mentioned it to Mik he got all excited (yes, I mentioned it only because I have no clue about Marvel or whatever the character is from).

Black Widow was on Deck 5 Mid, which actually seems like one of the better places for a line to form and not end up in the way of other things or making it hard to navigate through if you aren’t doing the character(s).
