Editorial Summary

The creators document their experience on Glacier Day during a Disney Alaska cruise aboard the Disney Wonder. The day begins early with character meet and greets featuring Mickey, Minnie, and Donald in exclusive Alaskan attire, alongside sightings of dolphins and whales from the pool deck. The creators highlight the benefits of waking up early to avoid long lines and enjoy wildlife sightings. They also review themed food options, including Mickey Churro waffles and a Frozen themed dinner at Animator's Palette. A significant portion of the video focuses on the Glacier Explorer excursion, where the creators board a smaller vessel to get much closer to the glacier than the main ship allows. This excursion provides opportunities to witness calving ice, see waterfalls, and spot bears along the shoreline. The creators conclude that while the Disney experience offers unique themed touches and high quality service, other cruise lines may offer similar Alaskan destinations at a lower cost.

Creator's Key Takeaways

This might be my favorite cruise we've ever done. I love it. This one is so loud that we could hear it from our room.

You can definitely see it. I wouldn't be disappointed if I didn't get the Glacier Explorer, but you definitely are a ways away.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get in line early for characters to avoid long waits, but consider that later in the day might offer better scenic backdrops for photos if it doesn't rain.
βœ“If it rains, head down to the running track on Deck 4 as it is covered and closer to the water for views.
βœ“Book the Glacier Explorer excursion if you want to get significantly closer to the glacier than the ship allows.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Character meet and greet lines β€” Lines can be long (up to an hour), but they move fast because they limit it to one photo per group. If you are in line before the scheduled end time, you will get your photo.
Viewing the glacier β€” The ship gets within 3-5 miles, but for a much closer experience, book the Glacier Explorer excursion.
