As courtships go, "paradise" and the "happiest place on earth" have had an on-and-off relationship.
Next year, it's on again, albeit for little more than a one-night stand.
The lovers are Hawaii and Disney, respectively, but you already knew that didn't you?
The Disney Wonder will take the cruise line for kids back to "paradise" in September of 2015, for the first time in three years. This will be an itinerary change for the Wonder, which this summer is on the Vancouver-to-Alaska run. When that itinerary runs its 
course in September, the Wonder will sail down the Pacific Coast, heading for the Panama Canal and, eventually, Florida.
Next year, the Wonder will delay its Panama Canal cruise by about three weeks. On September 7, it will head west to Hawaii for a 10-day cruise, then leave Honolulu for the return trip on September 17. After that, down the coast…through the Canal…back to its Florida home.
And if you don't think going from Vancouver to the land of King Kamehameha's Hawaii and back is a good idea (does Disney ever have a bad one?), consider this:
According to the Disney website, these two cruises (September 2015) are already sold out!
Maybe now, these two "lovers" will make their relationship long-term.
