Although we had been on Disney Wonder twice before, changes had been made since we were last on it 3 years ago. The first change was in the Atrium area where the ceiling lighting had been made into beautiful poinsettias. We had travelled at Christmas before but I'm pretty sure that was new. The whole Atrium area was very festive with the Gingerbread House also moved there.
The other change I noticed immediately was our room. I'd looked on several ship maps and it appeared to be standard size which I was very concerned about: how were we going to manage in such a small handicapped room? After some digging, I discovered they had taken out a stair case to expand this room---notice the column---everything to the right was expansion. The balcony was still quite small---more like a standard room. The bathroom (1) was quite a nice size and Dave liked the shower (many Disney state rooms have 2 "bathrooms": one with a tub and one with a toilet but I think both have sinks)
There were a few noticeable changes in the dining rooms as well. Sam and Silas were introduced to "Shirley Temples" AKA Charlie Temples and Cherry Temples. I know those cost extra before as did any carbonated drinks in the dining rooms, but they had several each night at no charge. We already mentioned Tianna's Place with a New Orleans theme, but Animator's Palate also had a design change---it now included the animated drawings that we made. We had done that on Disney Fantasy with Roman so I was really excited that it was on Wonder now. Basically, you draw on a template and it is "magically" animated on a screen. The next morning, we had breakfast at 6:45 and were off the ship, in our van and on our way home by 9:30 AM. Another wonderful cruise, Disney (other than getting sick)
