We did your same itinerary in reverse last August also on the Coral Princess. We rented a car in Anchorage & drove to Denali for 2 nights. We too were uncertain about the 9 hour bus ride, especially with 11 year old kids! It was one of the highlights of our trip. We saw so many animals & started the bus ride with all intentions of getting off at Elison. Vote was unanimous to continue. Wonder lake was lovely (even without a view of Mt McKinley). There were frequent bathroom breaks.
