Disney Wonder
Disney Wonder is the second Magic-class ship and shares the intimate scale of its sister, Disney Magic. It is best known for Tiana's Place, a New Orleans–inspired restaurant with a live jazz band, and for Frozen, A Musical Spectacular, one of the most acclaimed shows at sea. The AquaLab water-play area and Twist 'n' Spout slide keep kids busy on the upper decks. The Wonder spends much of the year on Alaska, Mexican Riviera, and Pacific Coast itineraries from West Coast homeports.

Pools & waterslides
Disney Wonder centers its upper decks on Goofy's Pool for families and the adults-only Quiet Cove pool forward. Instead of a water coaster, the Wonder features AquaLab, an interactive water-play area with pop jets and dump buckets, and the Twist 'n' Spout body slide for kids who clear the height requirement.

Dining overview
Rotational dining moves guests through Animator's Palate, Tiana's Place — a Princess and the Frog–themed venue with a live band — and Triton's, an elegant under-the-sea room. Palo provides adults-only Northern Italian dining for a service charge; the Wonder does not carry Remy. Cabanas handles casual buffet and counter-service meals.
