The Disney Wonder And Mr. Toad's Wild Race

I was strolling through the Atrium one day aboard the Disney Wonder and I heard a lot of noise down on the lower level.  There was cheering and voices yelling, "Go! Go!" Well, of course I had to look down....way down into the Atrium.  A race was going on. It was Mr. Toad's Wild Race to be exact.
I decided that this was worth checking out since so many families seemed to be enjoying themselves.  There were two Crew Members who were dressed like they were going to the horse races, long ropes with colorful toads attached, and children at the end of the ropes. Yes, this was worth checking out!.
The children would pull and lift the rope in order to make the toad hop along. The child that had their toad cross the finish line first would be the winner. The boy in the yellow hat was impatient. He would pull hard and lift the rope high.  When the toad would get stuck the Crew Member would patiently lean down to adjust the toad and the boy would start pulling and tugging again.  He really wanted to beat the girl who was racing against him. I wonder if that was his sister?
The families cheered, the children tugged and pulled....guess who won?  Much to the disappointment of the boy in the yellow hat it was the girl who won.  Are you wondering why I didn't get a photo of the toad crossing the finish line?  Well, I was too busy having fun and cheering them on!

The Disney Cruise Line provides many fun filled activities to keep children and adults busy and happy during their cruises. They know how to treat their cruisers well!
