Five sea days. Four islands. One amazing Disney cruise.
We’re joined by listener and travel agent Sarah for a trip report from her 10-night Disney Wonder sailing from Vancouver to Hawaii—a multigenerational adventure with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. From unexpected rocky seas to private Maui tours and post-cruise time at Aulani, Sarah shares how this last-minute repositioning cruise turned into a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
Along the way, Sarah tried her first towel-folding class, mastered sea-day strategy, hit up nearly every trivia game, and saw wildlife up close—from sea turtles to rescue birds to Banyan trees and beyond.
