As we reported previously, the Disney Wonder is scheduled for a dry dock visit in September of this year, at which time the ship will undergo renovations.
A recent announcement from Disney Cruise Line stated that the renovations would include the Marvel Superhero Academy, where kids can train to be a superhero; the addition of Frozen Adventures, Club Disney Junior, and Andy’s room to the Oceaneer Club (for kids ages 3 – 12); a new southern-style restaurant called Tiana’s Place Restaurant; and a new After Hours adult district with an English pub, all-new night club, and a new model of the Cadillac Lounge.
Additional enhancements include a reimagined Senses Spa and Salon; a new Chill Teen Spa; updates to the Animator’s Palate main dining room; D Lounge for family games and entertainment; Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique providing magical makeover for children; Edge Club for tweens; Cabanas casual dining; and makeover of Palo specialty restaurant.
The pool deck is also getting a redesign, with the addition of a Twist ‘n’ Spout water slide, Dory’s Reef splash zone, and Aqualab pool.
Galveston passengers will be the first to enjoy the refurbished Disney Wonder. The ship returns to Galveston for a November – January sailing season. The first cruise out of Galveston for the refurbished ship sails on November 19, 2016 to Cozumel, Mexico. See the schedule of 2016 and 2017 Disney Wonder cruises from Galveston.
