Skagway Train & Hikes! | 7-Night Disney Alaska Wonder Cruise Vlog 5 | 25th Disney Cruise Line 2023
Рет қаралды 8,678
Күн бұрынJoin us as we visit Skagway during our 7-night cruise aboard the Disney Wonder out of Vancouver, CA to the South Sawyer Glacier, Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan, Alaska!
It's time for our first official port in Alaska: Skagway! We don't waste any time heading off the ship to begin exploring Skagway and wandering through the town's souvenir shops, coffee shops, and more as we wait for our first port adventure: the White Pass Scenic Railway - Adult Only Departure (SW66). Just before boarding the train, we do scope out the hike locations so that we know where to go after we get back from our train adventure.
Then, it's finally time for the port adventure! While the trip starts out well, that all goes downhill quickly with some unexpected issues. Back in town, it's time for some hiking! We set off for both the Smuggler's Cove and Yakutania Point hikes, during which we hear an unexpected visitor in the water! After some amazing sights, it's time to head back to the ship as we depart Skagway and set off for the next port. Cheyenne heads down to dinner at Animator's Palate for animation night while Cody decides to explore the ship for some more beautiful sights. Then up to our stateroom to wind down and get ready for an early day tomorrow!
For the next video, we'll be in Juneau for dogsledding, glacier exploring, and a salmon bake! It's an action-packed day, so be sure to subscribe if you'd like to wend and wander along with us in Juneau!

I’ve been enjoying your Alaska cruise series so much! I found you after finishing Adrian’s (Theme Park Express) second Alaska series for the second time. I was so happy to hear you mention him! We love his videos and are loving your videos too!! Can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures!

Thank you so much for your kind comments!! 🥰 Theme Park Express is a huge reason we booked Alaska, so of course we had to give Adrian a shoutout 😊 looking forward to having you along on our adventures!!

Have really enjoyed all of your cruise videos! It looks like you guys sailed 2 cruises before my wife and I, as we sailed to Alaska from 5/29-6/5 last year for our first cruise ever! We had been talking about taking an Alaskan cruise for several years, and after a lot of research and watching a lot of vlogs, we finally decided to take this Disney cruise. It was cool that you shouted out @ThemeParkExpress because Adrian's videos of his 1st Alaska cruise were really a major factor in what made us book it. We were also super stoked to meet Adrian and Koda at Canada Place, as they were on the sailing right after us! We had a packed day in Skagway - we did the White Pass Railway in the morning, shopped and had lunch in town, hiked to Yakutania Point, and did the glacier dog sledding in the afternoon as well! We loved Skagway and all of Alaska and want to go again! We're sailing on the Wonder again from San Diego on 4/14 to Catalina Island and Ensenada for our 30th Anniversary! Keep up the great work with the videos...oh, and bonus points for the Totoro sweater! (My wife is Japanese and it was the first Miyazaki film I saw. 😊) ❤

Princess Cruises horn blows the theme song from "The Love Boat" (tv show from 70s and 80s), some MSC cruise ships blow "We Will Rock You" and "Seven Nations Army" on their horns. That absolutely was a Princess ship you heard.
@WendandWander Ай бұрын
That’s so cool! We did not know that, but it was very cool hearing it echo through the mountains!
@colleenkearney7922 9 ай бұрын
Distant ship horn song was Love Boat theme show song. My guess Princess Cruise line. :)
@WendandWander 9 ай бұрын
That seems to be the consensus! Now we know for next time 😁
@dominiquel8766 9 ай бұрын
@suziequeue2 beat me to it lol Princess play the Love Boat song since it used their ships for the TV show back at the end of 70' and 80'

Ah, so good to know! We'll have to give it a watch in case we ever hear another Princess ship again 😁

Bummer about the train but so cool that you guys keep seeing whales. Whales are my favorite 🐳. When I was in Skagway in…2011? It was so windy!! But I loved going in all the shops. Love all the videos, and love your Totoro sweater :)
@WendandWander 9 ай бұрын
Thank you so much! 🥰 bummer indeed but can't really complain after the refund plus all the beautiful scenery we were still able to see! And we couldn't believe how lucky we got with all the whales this trip, we were trying not to get our hopes up beforehand since we've heard there are cruises where people don't see any!

We did the VIP car with food and drinks and swiveling leather seats. Best excursion of the whole trip.

Oooh that sounds like a great way to spend the ride! We're keeping our fingers crossed that next time we get to Skagway, we'll be able to do the whole ride in full 🤞🏻

So beautiful! Think the ship horn was the Love Boat theme song, but you two might be a little too young for that one! Looking forward to your next video!
@WendandWander 5 ай бұрын
Yup, that's one of the older shows we don't know 😅 had it been Gilligan's Island, it'd be a different story (though we suppose a cruise ship might not want to have that as their horn 😂)
@jeannebush4284 9 ай бұрын
So sorry your White Pass trip didn't work out, but that's a good reason to go back to Alaska again, eh? Still so much beautiful scenery. Skagway was my favorite port simply because the town itself is so pretty. Thank you.
@WendandWander 9 ай бұрын
We completely agree, just one more reason to go again (as if we needed more 😁)! Despite the train breaking down, Skagway was our favorite port as well. We're hoping the next time we go, we'll get to experience the full train ride this time 😁

It's funny you mentioned Adrian and Theme Park Express because his train broke down as well! Wonder if that unfortunately is a regular occurrence on that train?

We couldn't believe our luck that the same thing happened to us! We're glad Adrian at least got to make the full trip though. Hopefully the next time we attempt it, we'll make it all the way around!

Thank you for the informative videos. We are going on our first ever cruise and going to Alaska on the Disney Wonder in Sept. may I ask what month you traveled?
@WendandWander 3 ай бұрын
We're so glad our videos have been helpful! We traveled in May of 2023 and couldn't believe we got such good weather for the most part. At least with September cruises, you have the best chance of seeing the northern lights then compared to May-Aug (or so we've heard!)

When did you go on the Disney wonder Alaska cruise, looks like great weather every day. My family and I are schedule to cruise the Wonder in Alaska on 17-24 June 2024

their trains are always breaking down. there was a break down when i was on last year and they crammed everyone from the broken train onto our train and it was horrible. i've seen other videos since that show people vlogging the experience of breaking down on the train. They need to do something that's more strategic in addressing the on-going problem.
@WendandWander 9 ай бұрын
So sorry to hear about your experience! It definitely seems like they've got an ongoing issue (granted, maybe that's just the way it is with that kind of machinery? We're not experts, so we wouldn't know 😂)

so the question is if Bigfoot ran in to a Grizzly bear who would win>
@WendandWander 9 ай бұрын
Cody had quite the answer for this one! To sum it up: Bigfoot would try to first avoid a fight if possible, but if absolutely necessary, then Bigfoot would definitely win 😂
