Celebrate Fall and Winter Holidays on Disney Wonder Cruises from California and Texas

Earlier this summer, right at the start of our Alaska season, I shared with you a few tips on how to relax and unwind aboard a Disney cruise to Alaska. Now as we prepare to say “see ya real soon” to America’s Last Frontier during our final Alaska sailing of the year next week, I’m excited to tell you a little about all the fun we have to look forward to in the months ahead!

Beginning in September, the Disney Wonder is heading back to San Diego, California, and Galveston, Texas, for a limited time each, and guests sailing from these two ports will enjoy special holiday celebrations in addition to sun-soaked beaches, onboard relaxation and all the magic that makes a Disney cruise vacation so “Wonder”-ful!

Disney Wonder Hallowenn on the High Seas

Fun in the Sun from San Diego
In September and October, the Disney Wonder will sail to Baja and the Mexican Riviera from beautiful San Diego. Baja sailings visit Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico, while Mexican Riviera cruises feature stops at Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas. All of these destinations offer stunning beaches and exhilarating water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking.

During this time, all Disney ships will undergo ghoulish makeovers for Halloween on the High Seas, and the Disney Wonder is no exception! If you’re planning to join us for one of these voyages, get ready for spooky parties, lively entertainment, elaborate décor and tons of tasty treats. Oh, and don’t forget your costumes!

And for the ultimate Disney land-and-sea experience, guests can pair a cruise from San Diego with an Adventures by Disney Short Escape to Disneyland and Southern California. This guided group vacation provides a behind-the-scenes look at places where Disney magic is made, including private tours of The Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering, VIP experiences at Disneyland Resort and an exclusive visit to Walt Disney’s Disneyland apartment!
