\"Dinsey<\/p>\n

Ask anyone that has been on the Disney Wonder\u00a0recently, and they will tell you it is looking a little dated and lacks the perks of Disney’s other cruise ships. This is mostly since it is the last Disney Cruise ship to go into dry dock to receive an upgrade similar to the Magic\u00a0received a few years ago. Now, Disney does a fantastic job of keeping the ships all looking fantastic, but the Wonder\u00a0needs an update. For years, Disney has been unable to add an external slide similar to the Disney\u00a0Magic\u00a0due to the fact that the Wonder\u00a0must sail through the Panama Canal a few times a year. With the opening of the new Panama Canal this year, Disney is now clear to add on the external features that the other ships have.<\/p>\n

The Disney Wonder\u00a0will be in dry dock this Fall from\u00a0September 9 to October 23, 2016, in Cadiz, Spain, the wave of new enhancements debut on sailings starting November 10, 2016 from Galveston, Texas.<\/p>\n

Disney Wonder Enhancements and New Experiences<\/h2>\n

Marvel Super Hero Academy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Marvel universe comes to life in Marvel Super Hero Academy. Here, young guests can train to develop the brave and adventurous heroes inside themselves. It\u2019s an exciting addition to Disney\u2019s Oceaneer Club, the engaging and interactive space just for children.<\/p>\n

Exclusively on the Disney Wonder, Marvel Super Hero Academy will offer extraordinary adventures in which each young guest plays an integral role. With the mentorship of some of Marvel\u2019s greatest Super Heroes, young trainees will learn the value of teamwork, bravery and problem solving through hands-on play and programs.<\/p>\n

In one mission, Spider-Man will appear in person to help children hone their spider senses by perfecting their skills of reflex, speed and sharp minds. Children will work on their web-slinging and then get to see themselves in the headlines of the Daily Bugle.<\/p>\n

The high-tech command post is also where other Marvel Super Heroes will interact with children via a large digital display, helping them unleash their inner heroes. In one program, kids can control the movement of a character on screen to practice super skills like repulsor blasting.<\/p>\n

Throughout the academy, displays will feature equipment that helps make Marvel Super Heroes the mightiest in the universe. Captain America\u2019s World War II shield, Iron Man\u2019s helmet, Spider-Man\u2019s web shooters and Black Widow\u2019s gauntlets will inspire young Super Hero recruits.<\/p>\n

More Fun for Young Guests<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Disney\u2019s Oceaneer Club, open to children ages three to 12 years old, kid-sized fun continues with new play spaces and more character interactions than ever before.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Frozen Adventures is where fun takes the form of imaginative play and hands-on activities. On the digital screen, Olaf leads summery games with a wintery twist and a sing-a-long of \u201cIn Summer.\u201d In another festive activity, young guests prepare for a coronation and receive a truly royal and in-person visit by Anna and Elsa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      These and other spaces provide the perfect settings for children to meet their favorite characters, dance, play and just have fun with them.<\/p>\n

Tiana\u2019s personal touch will be evident in the menu, the\u00a0entertainment and throughout every detail in the restaurant. From Tiana\u2019s family photos to\u00a0water lily-shaped candleholders to her framed culinary awards \u2013 all will help tell the\u00a0timeless tale of Tiana\u2019s journey from waitress to frog to princess to proud\u00a0restaurant owner.<\/p>\n
