One of Disney Cruise Line’s traditions is its family dining concept in which families rotate through the ships’ three main dining rooms. The Disney Wish features three new restaurants, starting with 1923, an elegant celebration of the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, combining Hollywood glamor with the Disney whimsey. There’s no shortage of pools and water splash zones onboard; ten, to be exact!

The waterslide had a few issues on our preview cruise, so not all the effects were working, but my understanding is that the two storylines (Port Misadventures and Swiss Meltdown) will be available on a schedule of alternating days. And, fine, maybe on my next Wish cruise I'll bring my kids here during the day, too. As a child of the 1980s who lived and breathed all things "Star Wars" growing up, I had a blast enjoying a few otherworldly drinks from this gold-laden lounge with views of the universe beyond. You'll enter the lounge via a room that is dark and serves as a "palate cleanser" from the rest of the ship. Then, once inside, everything from the custom furniture to the liquor bottles and specialty cocktails to the tap handles for the beer is themed accordingly. And if all of that isn't enough, there are four royal suites with a "Sleeping Beauty" theme, two of which feature a wild, two-story floor plan.

On the classic ships, the area is entirely inside, and on Disney Dream and Fantasy the Rainforest is open to the outside air, but you do not go outside. There is a minimum height requirement of 42” and guests must be 48” tall to ride their raft alone. Billed as the very first Disney attraction at sea, the AquaMouse is very similar to the AquaDuck on Disney Dream and Fantasy.

Disney is calling the AquaMouse (the waterslide on Disney Wish) the "first-ever Disney attraction at sea," which is a big statement for a company that knows attractions. If you want the best of the best, go for the almost 2,000-square-foot Wish Tower Suite, which is set in the forward funnel of the ship. It's hard to believe this is an actual place people can stay on a ship. With ten years of waiting — not to mention all the years of extra anticipation once the ship was announced — expectations are bound to be sky high, and wishing begins to fill in the holes left by an absence of details.

The ship will be powered by liquified natural gas, or LNG, one of the cleanest-burning fuels available. At approximately 144,000 gross tons and 1,254 guest staterooms for a maximum 4000 passengers, the ship will be slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Most of the ship’s 1,254 staterooms will offer an ocean view — including 877 (70%) with a spacious verandah — and there will be 451 connecting doors that adjoin rooms to accommodate larger families. The maiden voyage will set sail on June 9, 2022, with a five-night cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida, to Nassau, Bahamas, and Castaway Cay, Disney's private island. From new attractions to dining experiences, here’s just a taste of what you can expect. The ship’s motif is enchantment, and it focuses on a tale as old as time -- wishing upon a star.
While this holds true on all the Disney ships, my 6-year-old never wanted to leave the kids club on Disney Wish. Disney Wish retains the rotational dining format but with a lineup of all-new dining experiences. To keep things as comfortable and immersive as possible, the direction you fly on the screens is indeed the same direction the cruise ship is heading, giving the experience an even more realistic feel. Ships from all timelines of the "Star Wars" franchise fly across seven monitors that feature such insanely high resolutions that it really looks like Star Destroyers, TIE Fighters, the Millennium Falcon and more are right outside. The Imagineers worked closely with Lucasfilm to unlock the entire library of ships. Every ship that whizzes by has a name, a story and a place in the greater "Star Wars" universe.
This area is similar to Enchanted Rose Lounge at Grand Floridian, but miles better–more well-appointed, tasteful, and luxurious. As a whole, the speciality dining deck is an unequivocal upgrade on the other ships. Those varying themed spaces exist on the other ships, but the variety of styles is much more pronounced on the Disney Wish.
How is the Wish Different from Other Disney Cruise Line Ships?
This version takes the Italian cuisine concept and elevates it into a steakhouse. If you’re familiar with the Animator’s Palate level of interactivity onboard other Disney Cruise Ships, you’ll have the same general idea about Worlds of Marvel. Indeed, the Disney Wish is the first Disney cruise ship not to have an Animator’s Palate restaurant onboard — and Worlds of Marvel is likely the closest to that type of experience you’ll find. Like all Disney Cruise Ships, the Disney Wish offers something called rotational dining during the nightly dinner service — a Disney Cruise Line innovation.

Like the Arendelle restaurant, there’s a “dinner and a show” aspect to dining at Worlds of Marvel. You’ll also get an up-close (and maybe too personal) demonstration of Super Hero technologies, with appearances by Ant-Man and the Wasp. The Disney Wish was built at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, the same shipyard responsible for the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. The Disney Wish, the fifth ship in the Disney Cruise fleet, will showcase the immersive family entertainment, enchanting storytelling and unparalleled service that only Disney can deliver.
The verandah had two chairs and was a quiet and lovely spot to watch the sunrise (if we were up early!) and the sunset. Every cruise ship needs a Godmother - the Disney Dream's is Jennifer Hudson and the Disney Fantasy's Mariah Carey. - In this whimsical daycare centre inspired by the beloved Disney attraction, little cruisers 6 months to 3 years of age can relax and play, while being looked after by specially trained counsellors and visited by some special Disney friends. Before you even leave home for your Disney cruise, you'll learn a bit about how your phone will transform into a "spyglass" from Captain Minnie herself. Then, once you are on your cruise, you'll be able to join an interactive adventure to help recover pieces of a fractured wishing star that have landed in the worlds of Moana, Peter Pan, Princess Tiana and Nemo.
Without question, Disney Wish is in a class of its own for Disney Cruise Line — at least, until the next two ships join the fleet in the coming years. You can book directly with Disney Cruise Line or via a travel agent and potentially get goodies like an onboard sailing credit. TPG also has a Disney booking partner in Mouse Counselors, should you want assistance with booking your cruise.
Rotational dining doesn’t mean you’re sitting in a revolving restaurant. Diners are pre-scheduled to visit a different restaurant on each night of the cruise on a schedule called a dining rotation. In a recent announcement, the CDC said cruise companies can restart operations only by following rules laid out by the agency. Disney executives declined to address larger issues going on in the cruise industry, such as when the Centers for Disease Control will allow cruise ships to sail out of U.S. ports again.
Well, once you get past the fact that one was built on solid ground and the other is a big boat (sorry Sarah, big ship) sailing the seas. Disney Uncharted Adventure is a first-of-its-kind interactive experience that takes guests throughout the ship, uncovering constellations that take the shapes of iconic Disney and Pixar characters. Using a spyglass that’s accessible by the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, Captain Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse guide players to adventures with characters including Moana, Tiana, Tinker Bell, and Nemo. One space that’s new to Disney Cruise Line is Hero Zone, a futuristic sports arena that combines athleticism and imagination that hosts game-show-style family competitions. It’s also open for one-on-one games of foosball, air hockey, and even basketball on a full-size court. Just off of the spa is an expansion of Disney Cruise Line’s signature Rainforest experience, now with the line’s first ice lounge, in addition to sensory spa showers, and sauna, steam and dry rooms.
One distinction versus Cabanas is that Marceline Market is set up a bit more like a farmer’s market in that there are individual “stalls” (stations) for different types of food rather than one long buffet line. At some of these, you’ll serve yourself — at others, a crew member will dish up your food. Chef Arnaud Lallement, a three Michelin Star recipient, brings world class luxurious dining onboard the Disney Wish. This is the premier dining experience onboard, and is priced accordingly.
And at the teen club, Vibe, the decor draws inspiration from a Parisian loft, offering lots of spots to lounge, watch movies, meet new people and play games. Honestly, this space looked so cool, I'd want to hang out there myself. On the upper deck, you'll discover a number of poolside options, including Mickey's Smokestack Barbecue, Donald's Cantina, Daisy's Pizza Pies, Goofy's Grill and Sweet Minnie's Ice Cream. A meal at Palo will start at around $45 per person, though that's for the set menu. Meals at Enchanté cost $125 per person for the set menu or you can order a la carte dishes.
