Food is a big part of any cruise and the Disney Wonder is no exception. The good thing about Disney is that food is all inclusive. You can go to the buffet, any of 3 main dining rooms or 2 quick service cafes. There is also unlimited soda at the drink station and 24 hr room service. The only restaurant that is additional charge is Palo. Palo is an adults only upscale restaurant. You also do pay for soda from room service and you should tip for room service. This article contains tips to help you planning your dining on the Disney Wonder.
Meeting characters on a Disney cruise is easy. They tell you exactly where they will be. Every night you will get a navigator delivered to your room. It tells you which characters are going to be where for the next day. All you have to do is show up with your camera. You will also see characters at events throughout the cruise. There is a sail away party and a pirates party. Characters show up in the Broadway style shows and at dinner. Also on the 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise you get a character breakfast.
