A "MouseFest Door Judged by Deb and Jennifer" magnet will be placed on your door letting you know the judges have seen your entry! No tape or glue on stateroom doors, magnets only please!

Deb and Jennifer will pick the top 5 staterooms to be entered into the drawing for the Grand Prize: A two-night stay at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resort.

All finalists will be given a special "Finalist" Magnet to proudly display on their stateroom door. The announcement of the finalists and the drawing will be held Tuesday, December 4th at 5:45 pm in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 (near Tritons).

Tour the Walt Disney Suite on board the Disney Wonder!

Join us for a walk through tour of the luxurious Walt Disney Suite onboard the Disney Wonder.

Time: Embarkation Afternoon - Details provided in confirmation email.

Location: The Walt Disney Suite Deck 8

HOSTS: Deb Wills, AllEars.Net and Beci Mahnken, MouseFanTravel.com

Magic Martini Flight Event

Time: Check the Navigator

Location: Diversions Lounge, Deck 3

 

For two years in a row, Matt and Maggie have been enjoying the Martini Flight offered in the Diversions Lounge, on the first day of the cruise. If you are unsure what a "flight" is, as was I, it is simply a sampling of a specific drink. In this case, you are given five different versions of a Martini. They are smaller than regular drinks, but enough to get an appreciation of what that particular drink has to offer. The server also gives you a little history/info on the drink. Kind of cool!

So, if you want to start off the cruise on a really "magical" note, and think you can hang with the big dogs, stop on by! We would love to see you all!

Note: There is a charge, and this is open to adults, 21 and over only!'

HOSTS: Matt and Maggie
