Snow Storm, Cruise Changes, 5k's, Back-2-Back and Turning 30: Disney Wonder 2018 Adventure

Following along. I was at WDW the same time as you, but didn't visit Epcot the day you did. I hope you had fun on the cruise!
 


So I got ready, dad got back and got ready too. I headed up to grab us seats for the show. It was a welcome aboard show and just kind of a preview of the cruise to come. The Captain did come out and tell us why the cruise was changed, and it really explained a lot.



After the show, but Dad and I went to get a drink at The Cadillac Lounge. The only night we went there, but we will save that part for later. I got this.




After our drinks and listening to the person play some piano, we headed to dinner which was at Tiana's Place tonight. We met our servers Jose and Sweetson and also the head server Alberto. We also met our tablemates, a mother and daughter. This is the one place i wanted to try because we hadn't been on the Wonder since 2011. For dinner I had






After dinner we went to the room to see what towel animal was there.




Dad met our stateroom host Mario, who was great for our cruises. I met him earlier in the day. After that I headed up to Azure for Wonder Quest and got my first experience seeing Jo is action, she is amazing. I met up with Nick for that. After that I talked with Nick who I had met earlier in the day and we just chatted, since it was really rocking tonight Nick left early and we did have Castaway Cay tomorrow too. When he left I probably got a Chocolate Martini from Denton or Jayson. Can't remember what I did for sure after that, but I think i went to drink 9 to get some soda and then called it a night and headed to the room.





Brushed my teeth and passed out pretty fast. Also don't know if I mentioned earlier, we saw or friend Mario and were surprised in a good way that he was on we met him on the Fantasy in 2013 when he was a bartender, then he remembered us when we cruised the Magic in 2015, saw him again on the Magic in 2016 and now the Wonder in 2018. This time he was in whites.
 
March 5th, 2018-Castaway Cay

So we both slept in a bit today, Dad got up and got ready and went to get us some coffee. I got ready for the day. Dad got back and I finished getting ready. We headed up to Cabana's for breakfast.



After eating we walked around the top deck a bit.












We headed back to the room and brushed our teeth and got ready for the beach.




I left to head out onto the island while dad said he would meet me there.



 


So I got off the ship and headed to the Serenity Bay. I grabbed a chair and relaxed.




I sent a text to dad letting him know where I was.



Dad got off the ship



He met up with me at the adult beach. We relaxed some more.









I got us drinks from the bar.




We relaxed a bit more on the beach and then decided to go get some lunch, adult area buffet was crowded so we headed to the family beach area and had lunch.



After lunch we rented bikes and took a bike ride. I decided I wanted to do this because I've been training with my trainers Beau and Alicia since October 2015 and felt it would be some good exercise. After I got the hang of riding again it was cool to do.


















 
So after finishing up our bike ride, we went over to Heads Up Bar for drinks and picture taking.





We both go Konk Koolers












It was about 1:30-2:00pm, so we decided to head back to the ship since we would be here two more times. We of course took a few pictures.











 
So we got on the Wonder and I split up with Dad. I decided I'd go hit the gym. Remember I have been training with personal trainers since October 2015. I was doing the 5k at the end of the week and on the 4 night as well and I knew I was eating extra and drinking, so I needed to workout most days.





After the gym I grabbed a drink of the day for signals then headed back to the room to shower.



I took a shower and got ready for the show and dinner. Dad came back after his afternoon and got ready. I headed up to the theatre and grabbed us seats. Tonight's show was Taylor Mason and he was funny, we've seen him a few other times. After the show, we headed down to Crown & Fin for drinks and 50's & 60's Trivia with Jo. Jo was the club host this cruise and she truly is the nicest, friendliest, and Funniest host. Dad and I of course were bad at it tonight, we got better kind of as the cruise went on. Next up was dinner. Tonight we were in Triton's I had these for appitezers,




Next up was the salad,



Main Course I went healthier,



It wasn't tasty. Desset i had this,



After dinner we headed to the room to change and found this.





Tonight we had the Rum tasting, so we headed up to Cove Cafe for it. I'm not knowledgeable about rum, so it was cool to try something different and new for myself. It was before this started that my Dad and I found out the power came back on at home. I found out through neighbors and he had a email from my mom. So he relaxed a bit after that, though he was still a bit stressed with the next snow storm coming, but at least my mom had power. So we did the Rum tasting and then after we split up, I went to watch Martin Rowlands in the Promenade Lounge for a bit and then went to Azure and met up with Nick. I got a chocolate martini and we talked. Of course Denton and Jayson were awesome in Azure again this night. It wasn't crowded.



Nick and I walked around a talked a bit and then Nick called it a night after a bit.
I headed and grabbed another Chocolate Martini and then headed to grab a drink on deck 9. I then headed to the stateroom and called it a night. Dad was back in the room when I got in. I got ready for bed and then passed out.

After breakfast we went back to the room and brushed our teeth. I decided I'd head to the gym to do some workout circuit my trainer Beau gave me and some Cardio he suggested as well.



I'm not sure what my dad did. I decided to go to the Anyone Can Cook: Lobster Ravioli thing at the D Lounge. It was nice and we got to try Lobster Ravioli and some wine. Went to check out the stores after that, then headed to the room to change out of sweaty clothes. Walked around a bit and then headed to grab some lunch.



Went and got a mojito and a slice or two of pizza, and headed to the stateroom.



Dad came back and we headed up to the open bar event we had. This open bar was different then in 2015. It was in Cadillac Lounge and less crowded. Met and talked with some great people though, for this open bar they also had two types of mixed drinks already made for us to take, plus we could order different types we wanted. After the open bar I headed to the stateroom and split up with my dad. Here's how I felt.




I took a little nap, Dad came back and I took a shower and got ready for formal night. We took a few pictures in the room.





I headed up to grab a free Drink at the Captain's Welcome Reception and then got us some seats for the show, tonight with was The Golden Mickey's. Dad joined me. I didn't fall asleep this time.

After that was dinner, we grabbed more free drinks on the way though. Dinner was in Animator's Palate tonight. I had this






After dinner went to the stateroom where we saw this waiting.




I changed and then headed to Azure to see Taylor Mason, after that I hated with Nick again. I got a Chocolate Martini or two.
