Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 6 - Dinner at Triton's

Date of Visit: November 13, 2019

I have no idea if this night was a regular Triton’s menu or some other theme as I know the main regular menu for here was the one with escargot we had on Day 3.


Mik had the Red Lentil and Coconut Soup to start.


For his entree, he had the Roasted Venison Lion.


He had the Caramel Apple Cheesecake for dessert.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 5 - Dinner at Tiana’s Place


Date of Visit: November 12, 2019

Overall I’m all for going away from the paper navigators and the menus being just paper put in the restaurants holders instead of different laminated versions for all the me nights. However, it is annoying that I then have no idea what theme menu we had as even though we did still get paper navigators they no longer list the dinner theme and neither does the app. The only way I could occasionally figure it out is that it’s a theme we’ve had before or if I noticed on the dessert menu. Bottom line the menu served this night seemed to be a California/Pacific Coast theme and its probably one of our favorites we’ve ever had.


Except Dad, we all started with the California Rolls.


Mik also had the Coriander and Tomato Soup.

For his main course, Mik had the Golden State Beef Tenderloin.


For dessert, Mik got the Citrus Flavored Cheesecake.


When he saw my Long Beach Sundae and he remembered he had originally meant to order that because of the rainbow sherbet, he ended up also getting a sundae.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 4 - Dinner at Animator’s Palate

Date of Visit: November 11, 2019

This was our night for the regular Animator’s Palate menu.


As we were concierge this trip, Mik only got a drink at dinner this time because it’s his favorite dinner menu drink he has ever tried is the Bora Shake. He did often get the drink of the day in Concierge Lounge and could have gotten this, too, but he didn’t think of before dinner and didn’t want to miss getting it this cruise.


For the appetizer, Mik had the Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes.


He had the Lemon-Thyme Marinated All Natural Chicken Breast for his entree.


For dessert, Mik had another of his favorites - the Cookies ‘n Cream Sundae.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 4 - Puerto Vallarta


Date of Visit: November 11, 2019

As Mik could get off in Puerto Vallarta, Dad and I chose not to do a port adventure and get off to explore as a family. The main area is three miles from the port, though, and we didn’t feel like dealing with a taxi or walk with the hot humid weather and rather short port call. However, there was a Starbucks in the mall next to Walmart right across the street from the port.

Walking from the port to the mall was overall easy. It is longer than it seems, though, as you have to walk in the port the opposite direction of the mall to the exit and then outside the port back past the ship to the mall. Not really that much of a walk for us, but the weather was hot and humid. There were cutouts the whole way and the only awkward part was the crosswalk not having a walk signal to cross back over to the port side.


The mall has a ramp up to it on the far left. Inside the Starbucks is right there on the second floor. As soon as we entered, someone pointed out the elevator for us, but it is also very easy to notice behind the escalator.


We enjoyed getting some different holiday drinks including Cranberry Mocha Blanco Frappuccino and Christmas Punch.


In the end, we all felt we could have enjoyed the port just as much by never leaving the ship, but at least we did get unique Starbucks drinks. Also, it was worthwhile getting photos of Mik and Dad with their Day of the Dead shirts in Mexico.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 4 - Brunch at Triton’s

Date of Visit: November 11, 2019

The Puerto Vallarta All Ashore time was rather late (10:30), which made having brunch in Triton’s a great option they offered before going ashore. In particular, wee enjoyed that you could get lunch food early (Mik had a burger).


One of my favorite desserts of the trip was the cherry crepe at the brunch.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 3 - Dinner at Triton’s

Date of Visit: November 10, 2019

Our first night in Triton’s was the regular menu for this restaurant.


Mik enjoyed his favorite appetizer here - the escargot.


For dinner, he had the Roasted Rack of Lamb.


For dessert, he had the Apple Tart Tatin.

Disney Wonder Panama Canal Eastbound Cruise: Day 2 - Dinner at Tiana’s Place


Date of Visit: November 9, 2019

We really enjoyed Tiana’s last trip, but it was even better this time as we had a table right by the stage. Our first night at Tiana’s was one of the restaurant theme nights with a New Orleans theme menu and the live music.


Mik had the Louisiana Hot Crab dip, which he enjoyed. It came out very hot and he was smart enough to notice and let it cool and not burn the top of his mouth like I did.


For the entree, he had the New York Sirloin Steak.


He had the Banoffee Cream Pie for dessert.


I got the Louisiana Root Beer Creme and this is I think the only dessert we’ve ever been totally disappointed with on a cruise. It wasn’t bad tasting, but it definitely didn’t taste like root beer and it was a very odd stretchy texture.
