Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 14 - Mardi Gras Dinner @ Tiana’s Place

Date of Visit: November 21, 2019

Our final night was the Mardi Gras  night. We had been looking forward to it fir the beignets all trip. Having our table next to the stage, though, ended up making Mik really dislike this night as it was much louder than the other theme night here. We were at least able to get done with dessert just in time for me to take him out right before the real Mardi Gras part started.

For his appetizer, Mik had the Boudin Sausage Fritters, which he ended up not liking.

The Herb Brioche beard service was his favorite other than the pretzel bread the one night.

He had Jame’s Roasted Pork Tenderloin for his main course.

For dessert, he originally was going to just get beignets, but then he saw the New Orleans Bananas Foster Sundae. Thus, we both ended up with a sundae and split an order of beignets.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 13 - Animation Dinner at Animator’s Palate

Date of Visit: November 20, 2019

Our last dinner in Animator’s was the night you get to draw a character that then appears in a show on the screens.

Mik didn’t mind drawing a character this time, but he did not like that “Be Our Guest” part of the dinner. He used to like it or at least not mind it, but he has grown to dislike the song because we have the “Be Our Guest” dishes and I’ve been known to sing it and even ask Alexa to play it when serving him food at home.

Mik had the Sesame Crusted Tuna Sashimi appetizer.

He also had the Lobster Bisque soup.

For his main course, he had the Chicken Schnitzel.

For dessert, he had the Very Cherry Chocolate Sundae.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 12 - Captain’s Gala Dinner at Triton’s

Date of Visit: November 19, 2019

Our last dinner in Triton’s this cruise was the Captain’s Gala menu.

Mik had the Oysters Rockefeller on the Half Shell for his appetizer.

For his main course, he had the Pan-Seared Venison Medallions.

For dessert, he had the Chocolate Lava Cake.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 11 - Dinner at Tiana’s Place

Date of Visit: November 18, 2019

No idea what the theme was this night, but the dessert ended up being one of our favorites.

Mik has the North Atlantic Lobster Ravioli for his first appetizer.

He also had the Chicken “Bastela” appetizer.

For his main course, he had the Braised Center Cut Osso Buco “Milanese.”

For dessert, we all enjoyed the Peanut Butter Fudge Pie.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 10 - Port of Cartagena, Colombia

Date of Visit: November 17, 2019

From the ship and the way Dad and I boarded a bus for our excursion right outside the ship, it seemed that there was nothing at the port in Cartagena. As we also knew, the port wasn’t near town and after the annoyance of Puerto Vallarta, Mik and Mom just weren’t going to get off here.

When Dad and I returned from our Port Adventure, we discovered the port had a little ecopark/zoo along with a shop and a Juan Valdez coffee shop. However, it was crazy crowded and we still didn’t think it was worth having Mik and Mom get off the ship.

Around 3pm when we got back on the ship, I rode the elevator up to our stateroom and overheard that one lady came back to get her passport as you could get a stamp in it from the shop for $1. Thus, when I got back to the room we not only grabbed Mom and Mik’s passports, but we decided to all get off and at least get a photo in front of the ship as it was a rare time it pulled in a way you could get an up close photo with the front.

Our timing of getting off around 3:30pm with an all aboard of 5:15pm ended up being perfect as most were back on the ship (or in line as it was the longest to get back at this time). Thus, we easily got a vanilla cinnamon latte from Juan Valdez for Mom (and Mik to taste and have some coffee in Colombia) while Dad got the passports stamped.

Mik enjoyed at least seeing something and checking out the flamingos.

It was hot and sunny, so he didn’t so much enjoy us trying to get a good photo in front of the ship.

While we were only off the ship for about 30 minutes, this was our favorite experience off the ship as a family this cruise. Mik probably would have enjoyed seeing more of the eco park, but it was hot and earlier it was more crowded so the way we did it was probably still the best to experience it without overdoing it.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 10 - Frozen Dinner at Animator’s Palate

Date of Visit: November 17, 2019

We happened to get a great dining rotation this cruise as Animator’s was fun to be in for the theme nights. For the Frozen dinner, there were different images from Frozen shown throughout the dinner.

During the dinner, they gave everyone light up snowflake necklaces.

For his appetizer, Mik had the Duke of Weselton’s Favorites (meats and cheese plate).

As his entree, Mik had the Lobster Ravioli.

He had the Oaken Warm Apple Pudding Cake for dessert.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 9 - Panama Canal Dinner at Triton’s

Date of Visit: November 16, 2019

The dinner for the day we went through the Panama Canal was Panama cuisine themed.

This was one of the two nights Mik got a drink at dinner instead of the lounge. He enjoyed the non-alcoholic Donald Delight (vanilla ice cream, orange passion juice, and strawberry puree).

For his appetizer, Mik had the Warm Cheddar Cheese and Applewood Smoked Bacon Tartlet.

We all had the Baked Lobster Tail “Gatun” for our main course.

For dessert, Mik had the Warm Churros and was tempted to say, “Yes,” when our server asked if he wanted more, but he was too full.
