Disney Wonder Cruise to Alaska!|Day 7: The Best of Sitka

Disney Wonder, Alaska 9 Night Cruise, July 2025. Day 7, Sitka! Join us for our latest adventure!

Our morning began with another lovely sail in and our first ever visit to Sitka. The skies were hazy and overcast but we did not let the rain but a damper on our excitement for the day. We had a quick breakfast at Cabanas and then headed to the meeting point for our Port Adventure.

We booked The Best of Sitka (SI02) which led us by bus to three different stops. Our first was Fortress of the Bear, a rescue habitat that is currently home to both brown and black bears. It was incredible to see these bears and to hear some of the stories surrounding their rescues. Sadly, we were given a very short amount of time to explore the venue. Our next stop was the Alaska Raptor Center. This is another rescue habitat and is home to a variety of birds of prey. We were able to observe the flight center and see all the birds in their living spaces. There was a film presentation and a gift shop with plenty of merchandise for purchase. Our final stop was at the Sitka National Historical Park where we were given an hour to see the totems. We were also able to explore the visitor center. What we saw of Sitka by bus was lovely.

Back at the Port, we were able to grab some souvenirs and we also stopped by the candy shop where we found some locally made treats. We also had to have the roasted pecans that smelled (and tasted) incredible.

We made our way to Tiana's for lunch. It was nice to decompress after a busy morning and the food was delicious. We had the pizza and pasta but like any meal, dessert was the best. The apple pie and red velvet cake were chef's kiss!

After a nice afternoon cruise nap, we were ready for the evening festivities. We have enjoyed Kid Ace on several previous cruises so we made our way to the Walt Disney Theater for showtime. We also stopped by D Lounge for The Emperor's New Game Show which was quite funny. Every evening in the atrium, there are photo backdrops as well, so we had to take a few family pictures before dinner.

Animator's Palate is our favorite of the restaurants on the Wonder. This night was extra special because we were guest animators! For dinner, we enjoyed the tomato caprese and Malaysian chicken satay, porcini sacchetti, wedge salad, and chicken schnitzel. We sampled several desserts, including the peach tart, celebration cake, and strawberry cake. The highlight of dinner was seeing our drawings come alive with the magic of animation!

We certainly hope you enjoyed the vlog as we enjoyed sharing our day with you!

Onward to our next adventure!
