Disney Wonder Room 6134 Secret Verandah
These are photos of Disney Wonder room 6134, which is a “secret verandah” stateroom. It is called this because it has the least obstructed verandah of all of the category 7A’s on the ship and it much more similar to the Category 6 verandahs but for a cheaper price. There are only 4 rooms like […]

My Favorite Money Saving Apps
Lately I have been using a few apps in order to earn some extra spending money for cruises. I don’t make nearly enough to pay for an entire vacation, but I am usually able to convert my earned money into Disney gift cards that at least cover some or all of our onboard charges. The […]
Disney Cruise Line Onboard Gifts and Amenities
Did you know that there is a whole list of things that you can order before your cruise to be waiting for you when you arrive in your stateroom? It took me several cruises before I discovered this.
