2017 Tour de Turtles at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, a Disney Vacation Club Resort on Florida’s Atlantic Coast.
Photos taken in February, 2017. The all-new Epcot International Festival of the Arts continues and preparations get underway for the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, the NFL Super Bowl champion is saluted at Magic Kingdom, Rivers of Light debuts at Animal Kingdom and lots of other stuff around the “World.”
I was invited to visit Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Wonder to see Frozen: A Musical Spectacular, to have lunch in the new Tiana’s Place, and to take a tour of the ship. (Except for tolls and gas, Disney Cruise Line issued me and a guest Media credentials and covered all of the expenses of the visit.) The ship is as impressive as its twin, Disney Magic that I toured last year. The show is broadway-caliber with a good cast, with very impressive special effects and an on-stage costume change that got a round of applause. Tiana’s Place (the restaurant) is drawn from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, down to the menu — with top-notch service and a live jazz band (introduced by Tiana, of course). Like last year’s tour of Disney Magic at Port Canaveral, in addition to the ship, I got a nice photo of NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building at neighboring Kennedy Space Center. With the rest of the media, was escorted off the ship before its sailing that afternoon.
