When you board the ship, a crew member will announce you by name to everyone in the Grand Hall, which is at the heart of the ship. That charming welcome is extended on all the Disney ships, but the Wish is the first to add a little performance balcony overlooking it all and a stage that can be used for various character appearances and diversions over the course of the cruise.

Most Disney cruises go to warm climates, so of course everyone wants to know what the pool decks look like. This is the main one on the Wish : Scattered across tiers on several levels, you'll find six pools—all of them small, all of them shallow (usually 2 feet deep), and each equipped with a lifeguard despite the pools' teeny sizes. (The generous supply of lifeguards was a running gag in our group: "Last night at dinner, the waiter poured me a cup of water and a lifeguard showed up!") Skirting the high levels of the decks is AquaMouse , a two-rider raft flume that goes uphill and downhill and passes through a clear portion of tube that ventures briefly over the ocean. The company is marketing the ride as the "first Disney attraction at sea," but really, it's pretty much like AquaDuck, which already exists on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. The difference is that AquaMouse has some added cartoon segments in the lift hill tunnel of the ride. It's easygoing fun and not too scary, but it's still AquaDuck plus screens. Slide-a-saurus Rex , visible in yellow, is a basic helix-shaped slide. Not pictured, and located on the other side of that funnel, is the Toy Story Splash Zone , which is the toddler area. Built under a ledge to shelter young skin from strong sunlight, the zone features gently moving, bubbling, and spraying water, all themed after the film franchise.

At night, the main pools can be covered and turned into cinemas or performance zones, such as for the Pirate's Rockin' Parlay Party , during which a band of melodious pirates plays '80s hits (somehow, the mash-up works) and host a brief fireworks show over the sea.

Some of the most hyped elements of the Disney Wish are its restaurants. This one has an awkward name that most passengers forgo in favor of calling it "the Avengers restaurant." Dinner is interspersed with video of Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly delivering gentle, Burns and Allen–style banter as Ant-Man and the Wasp.

There's a plot involving your dinner and the cruise ship itself. Kids are encouraged to help save everyone from a supervillain by pressing a button on their dinner table "Quantum Core" centerpieces—the least stressful way to vanquish a villain, really. The food you're served doesn't play with Ant-Man 's size-shifting theme in the way that Disney California Adventure's Pym Test Kitchen does, which is a missed opportunity. But the Avengers restaurant still delivers a pleasant dinner, even if most of the innovation lies in watching screens. My 13-year-old nephew, who I brought with me on my cruise, said this was one of his top three experiences on the Disney Wish . He loved the interactivity with the Quantum Core. He even ordered a kiddle mocktail in a light-up version of the Quantum Core (for an added fee). This is only one of the speciality restaurants you'll go to over the course of your cruise. A key feature of Disney Cruise Line is that your party is scheduled to eat at all the big themed restaurants over the course of a vacation—there are no surcharges for the privilege, and you're accompanied by the same waitstaff so kids and crew can get to know each other over time.

The Arendelle restaurant is closer to a traditional dinner theatre. Positioned on a low deck at the back of the ship, it's a dining hall with a central platform stage. Here the main characters from the Frozen franchise gather to celebrate Anna and Kristoff's wedding and sing a few songs. Olaf doesn't get to sing "In Summer" himself, but he does make an appearance in another way.

Olaf shows up on a dessert cart, chaperoned by Arendelle shopkeeper Oaken, to interact with guests as they dine. The other Frozen characters arrive on their own two feet, which makes Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure a lot like the character meet-and-greet meals that are popular in the Disney theme parks. (No, Disney star Jonathan Bassett, who is talking to Olaf here, is not part of the dinner show cast—he just happened to be one of the many people sailing on the Disney Wish with us.) Each specialty dining location has its own menu of specialty cocktails for adults—the Frozen Fractals concoction is bright blue and twinkles in the light when you stir. And the Arendelle dinner is distinguished by another cruise ship innovation: It's the first restaurant I know that has been configured to usher guests to exit through a souvenir shop.

After the excitement of the Avengers and Arendelle, the third major restaurant, 1923, is likely to bore small kids. Its main appeal is class—and that's for the adults. This restaurant has two halves, Walt Disney and Roy Disney, which are stylistically similar and identical of menu. The adult beverages are less twee than at the other restaurants. This drink, the Buena Vista Boulevardier, is a blend of rye, Campari, and Lillet Rouge topped with a chocolate disk. That's a combo ($12 on our sailing) that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, but it worked very nicely.

There are a few restaurants you have to pay extra to access. One of them is the steakhouse, Palo, which has splendid wraparound ocean views, costs $45 per person, has a dress code, and is only for diners aged 18 and older. You'll need to make reservations. One additional waiter-service restaurant is even more exclusive: Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement (dinner: an extra $125–$195 per person) is an intimate high-deck space with ocean views that's intended to woo high-spending adults with specialty ingredients and award-level preparation. Other Disney ships have Remy for their special-occasion meal services; the Wish has Enchanté. Most families won't see the inside of either.

Most mega cruise ships have a buffet where you can go without having reservations for all three meals. For the Disney Wish , that space is Marceline, wrapping around the aft section of deck 11. The setup is as regular cruisers expect: various stations serving various genres of food. The food is included in your cruise fare, sodas and juices are free, and there's a bar where you can pay for alcohol or specialty coffee. We were surprised and pleased to find some atypical items here: Most American cruise ships don't serve congee and fried rice for breakfast (though both dishes are popular morning options in Asia), but the Disney Wish does. So if you get weary of standing in line for bacon and those ever-popular Mickey waffles, you can dip into the alternative fare. Sometimes, Marceline will close for a few hours in mid-afternoon, but you won't go hungry: Near the pools, there are stations for burgers and hot dogs, pizza, burritos and tacos, and barbecue to fill the hours between restaurant seatings.

Disney's kids' clubs truly set the cruise line apart from its competitors. Instead of installing casinos aboard ships, Disney gives all that space to children, and the kids-only areas are kitted out like no other line's.

This is the slide from the Grand Hall to the Oceaneer Club, geared toward kids aged 3 to 12.

And just take a look at some of the rooms inside. The next few photos were taken in the Oceaneer Club—no grown-ups allowed except to drop off or pick up their offspring.

he Disney Wish: Real Photos (Not Staged) of what the Cruise Ship is Like

Oceaneer Club has several major elements. One of them is Fairytale Hall, a hub for crafts and storytelling, which itself has three parts: Belle's Library, Anna and Elsa's Sommerhus , and Rapunzel's Art Studio (pictured).

Another section exclusively for kids aged 3 to 12, Walt Disney Imagineering Lab lets kids approximate what it's like to be one of Disney's famous Imagineers. Youngsters get to design a roller coaster they can then ride (safely) in a small motion simulator. Sorcerer Mickey also makes character appearances here occasionally.

Also in the no-adults-allowed club for kids aged 3 to 12, the Marvel Super Hero Academy looks cool enough when it's dormant, but at appointed times, it mounts "Avengers: Mission Training," which Disney calls "a gesture-based game where [players] put their new suits and skills to the test as they virtually battle bad guys." An appearance by Black Panther often figures into the game.

Above, here's more of that delicious Star Wars -themed area for kids.

Kids aged 11 to 14 (including those who qualify for the huge Oceaneer Club but prefer a hangout that's more intimate and ocean-facing) can visit Edge , a zone dedicated to them that's fashioned after an urban loft. There's a stylized Mickey Mouse statue here that proved popular for photos.

The club for the oldest kids is Vibe , high up on the 12th deck with great ocean views befitting kids who want to feel like they're having a cruise experience. Vibe's official age range is 14 to 17, but staff members have discretion to stretch that minimum age downward if your kid is a grown-up 13. That was the case with my nephew, who later declared Vibe his favorite space on the Disney Wish —he especially loved the coffee machine.

Hero Zone , a few steps from Vibe, is the ship's all-purpose sports center. Here, it's set for basketball below, but there are a few table games (like puck slides) on the mezzanine.

For preannounced time slots, the inflatable Incredi-Course fills the Hero Zone for obstacle challenges. (The course is packed away most of the time.)

One more kids' space before we move on to grown-up diversions: The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique presents essentially the same royal makeovers for kids as its counterparts at the Disney theme parks do. Makeovers start at around $200, and a few of the dresses offered to kids are exclusive to Disney Cruise Line.

There's a serious salon for adults, too. That's Untangled Salon (pictured above), and, a few steps away, it has a tiny pirate-themed counterpart for men in Hook's Barbery . And while there isn't a casino on board, there is the Senses Spa as well as a Senses Fitness center.

There are plenty of bars on board (although some are for beer and wine only, and one caters to those seeking healthy juices and drinks), but the most ballyhooed is Hyperspace Lounge . Like the adult-only Skyline Lounge on Disney's Fantasy and Dream , the main feature is a large back wall where giant images are regularly changed.

But instead of showing world cities, as on the other ships, Hyperspace Lounge pauses to linger at computer-animated stops across a Star Wars– themed galaxy. Every so often, you hear a rattling sound, the stars streak across the screen just like when spaceships hit hyperspace in the movies, and you're delivered to a new vista for a while.

Yes, there's a little-ordered $5,000 drink that distracted much of the travel press in its coverage, but otherwise the experience for regular drinks (generally $10–$20 each) falls short. There are blue ice cubes. There's a well-used smoker gun. There are designs on foam that only show up under a UV light that your server shines before walking away again (so you'd better take a picture while the waiter is there).

But to me, Hyperspace Lounge is another missed opportunity. The décor, for example, has none of the excitement or detail of the Star Wars : Cargo Bay kids' area we showed you earlier. In fact, although the two spaces are only a few decks apart, they look like they were designed by two disconnected teams with vastly different budgets.

The Hyperspace ceiling is mostly plain, and some of the only flourishes meant to signify galactic panache are some tanks of bubbling water. Oga's Cantina uses those at Galaxy's Edge at the Disney parks, too, but as part of an eye-pleasing riot of steampunk decoration. Hyperspace Lounge has no characters, and the drink recipes are so complex that servers have a hard time keeping up with demand.

The bar also suffers from its own promotion: It simply isn't large enough for everyone who wants to get in, so securing a time slot adds a level of red tape that frequent guests of the Disney parks will know well—you might have to drop by several times before you finally score. Most adults' drinking time will be spent in other spaces.

The Bayou (pictured above) is right outside Hyperspace Lounge's closed "airlock" door, so don't be surprised if you end up here after failing to get into Hyperspace Lounge. The Bayou lacks direct ocean views but it has musicians at night. Around the corner, Nightingale's is an intimate ocean-facing piano bar (most likely to be open in the evening and later). The three cocktail locations form a little hub for entertainment on deck 3.

The nautical-themed Keg & Compass, on deck 5, is the ship's equivalent of a sports bar—it's where games and broadcast events are likely to be shown. There are a few beers on tap that are brewed expressly for the Disney Wish .

Triton Lounge (pictured above), across the corridor from Keg & Compass on deck 5, has the perfect setup for comedy or cabaret, but there was none scheduled on my abbreviated preview cruise.

Luna , spanning decks 4 and 5, is a space that was created for the Wish . Luna functions as a lavish cabaret-like performance space. Disney says it will transition from family entertainment during the day to adult-oriented entertainment by night.

Another perk of Disney Cruise Line ships: Since Disney owns the rights to a significant chunk of American popular entertainment, ships can show vacationers the same movies that are simultaneously playing in the movie theaters on land. Don't go to the movies right before boarding the Disney Wish. Save your money, because at least two current selections will be playing repeatedly, day and night, in the two classy screening rooms on deck 4.

Disney cruises are also known for their top-tier stage shows, and the biggest ones are mounted nightly in the Walt Disney Theatre (1,274 seats, with a balcony). The company manages to hire some of the best young voices in the business, and true to form, some of the singers on the Wish will give you goosebumps. Sets and costumes are also among the most impressive you'll find on the seas.

Most entertainment is geared to reinforcing the company's most popular stories and songs. On the Wish , the three main shows during the maiden voyage were new stagings of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin as well as a jukebox revue of Disney hits. The presentation is far beyond what other lines can do, and it's fun—as long as you like seeing the Disney canon again and again. Most kids do.

There's plenty of shopping, of course, across multiple stores that are priced everywhere from the high end to the really high end. There's also plenty of merch that's specific to the Disney Wish , from clothing to toys—Disney knows its fans love to collect souvenirs from across its range of businesses. This is the largest shop, but there are several spread around the ship, from the pool deck to the entertainment zone.

There's also a sizable laundry room, and not a miserable closet like some ships give you. Someone at Disney HQ must have had a great sense of humor to give the room this name—fairy-tale princess Cinderella worked hard to meet a prince so she could get out of doing laundry. Still, it's a well-equipped facility and you can charge everything to your room card. (Pro tip: Make sure to twist the knob on the dryer to increase your dry time before pressing the start button; otherwise you may end up paying for a 1-minute cycle.)

Now for a quick look at a stateroom. You can see the shelves to the right, but there are also two closets (including a safe) behind that built-in. Make sure to specify how many people you need your room to accommodate—some units have pullout sofas, some have drop-down cots, and some don't. If your party can't fit in one cabin, you can rent adjoining ones. Beds have night-lights for individual reading plus convenient outlets (both electrical and USB) for charging things bedside. The TV has a full menu of Disney movies for free streaming, which is nice. But we sometimes had a hard time contacting our porter to make simple requests: The phone system routed all our requests to the general switchboard. On one occasion that resulted in a 20-minute hold just to ask for our room's Murphy bed to be opened.

The desk drawers contain a hair dryer, so you don't have to pack one. There's a European-style pin outlet, too, plus some more U.S./Canada-style outlets and some additional USB ports.

The shower/tub room is separate from the cubicle with the toilet (and both of them have sinks), so families can maximize their morning routines.

Naturally, there are some very lush suite options for people with the spending cash. These rooms all come with concierges and access to private areas that people in standard cabins can't use.

The most notable of these lavish quarters is the Wish Tower Suite , which is installed in the forward funnel. It turns out the front smokestack isn't a smokestack at all and is just there for looks—or for your own private 1,966-square-foot duplex suite. No other cruise ship has a luxury suite in one of the funnels. True, the location means views of the ocean aren't as expansive as in the other types of suites, but the bragging rights are unparalleled. The price for a typical 3-night sailing is $21,000, so just keep on wishing.

Like most modern cruise ships, the Disney Wish could use a few more quiet spaces to sit and read. There are small ship-side promenades on decks 4 and 5 that don't encircle the ship, and of course there are heaps of loungers in the sun on the top decks. The higher you go, away from the pools, the more likely you'll find a free chair.

I'm partial to these cozy porthole seats off the Grand Hall on deck 3. But when you find yourself searching the ship for a quiet place to sit, you realize that Disney Cruise Line seems to be walking away from its original mandate. When the brand emerged in the late 1990s, it intentionally focused on smaller ships with an old-world ocean liner vibe. The Disney Wish leaves that behind—it's a megaship, jangling like a jukebox, abandoning the antique dignity of bygone sea voyages.

Disney Cruise Line is already a premium-priced product, and the Wish , being its newest and hottest ship, is priced the highest. (For lower prices, choose older ships.) For October 2022 sailings, a typical price for a 3-night sailing would be $2,140 for two guests. (All cabins are priced per person, double occupancy.) But don't quote us on that, because the prices are ever-shifting depending on date and cabin category. Generally speaking, a Verandah stateroom, which has a small balcony, is $100–$200 more than an Oceanview cabin, which just has a window. There are a few inside cabins with a screen that displays what's outside the ship at any given moment, and those are about $100–$200 less than an Oceanview room. The fare includes meals and basic nonalcoholic drinks (including on Castaway Cay) as well as live entertainment, youth clubs, and access to the water slides. Special activities may be charged. Disney Wish 's inaugural season is comprised of 3- and 4-night cruises to Nassau in the Bahamas and to Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay (pictured above). Cruises depart from Port Canaveral, Florida, which is an hour's drive east of Orlando.

Photos & Video: New Disney Wish Cruise Ship

Ahead of Disney Cruise Line’s grand reveal of the new Disney Wish ship, which begins sailing in Summer 2022, the company has shared new concept photos and behind the scenes video of the development of the fifth ship in the fleet. We’ll share that here, along with some quick commentary.

The design of the Disney Wish centers around the motif of “enchantment.” This is the architectural and thematic foundation of the ship’s design, weaving imagination, emotion, and adventure into the ship. This fairly nebulous term provides latitude for a wide range of stories to be represented on board. Judging by the video, those will include Disney Animation, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. It’s presumably similar to how the motifs for nighttime spectaculars in the parks provide a loose, all-encompassing framework for a variety of intellectual properties.

“Enchantment is about unlocking the wonder in everything we do and experience,” said Laura Cabo of Walt Disney Imagineering. “For the Disney Wish, we are creating a signature design language that exudes this emotional magic like only Disney can, by infusing every inch of this enchanted ship with more Disney stories and characters than ever before. The Disney Wish will be a place where families really do get to wish upon a star.”

Per Imagineering, enchantment is an ingredient that brings the worlds of Disney films to life. Translating this concept into a design theme provides a means for infusing Disney storytelling into the cruise experience, giving the Disney Wish a completely new look and feel.

Inspired by Disney fairytales, Walt Disney Imagineering has captured what they call the “essence of enchantment” through three design lenses, using:

Fairytale castles, emulating the classic storybook charm at the core of many enchanted tales
Forests and animals, bringing to life fascinating natural worlds and the animals that inhabit them
Spirit of the sea, embodying the magic and mystery of the watery world below

The Disney Wish will continue the Disney Cruise Line tradition of incorporating an elegant, classical exterior design that pays tribute to the golden age of cruising, in the emblematic colors of Mickey Mouse.

A hallmark of Disney Cruise Line is the adornment of two character art pieces on the hull of each ship. For the Disney Wish, artwork on the bow will be an intricate scrollwork pattern reminiscent of the classic ocean liners of the 1930s, and will feature Captain Minnie Mouse for the first time.

The stern of the Disney Wish will display a custom sculpture of Rapunzel from Tangled . Suspended by her golden tresses, this artistic princess will be “decorating” the exterior of the ship with her trusty paintbrush and the help of her chameleon pal, Pascal.

To take it one step further into enchantment, Imagineers have added curvature to the deck edge along both sides of the Disney Wish, creating a sense of motion and fluidity both inside and out.

The Grand Hall will be a bright, airy, and elegant space that welcomes guests as they first step on board. The heart of the Disney Wish, this atrium is designed with Gothic, Baroque, and French Rococo influences imbued in the columns, carvings, trimmings, and adornments.

The Grand Hall will be Disney Cruise Line’s “Castle on the Seas,” with glittering trails of pixie dust on three-story columns, leading to the shimmering chandelier above. The chandelier is inspired by Cinderella’s transformation into a princess, which Disney calls “the manifestation of wishes come true — a swirling spiral of crystal gems punctuated with light, its crown jewel a wondrous wishing star.”

At the base of a grand staircase, beneath the glow of the wishing star, will stand Cinderella. This princess’ story is the epitome of magic transforming wishes into dreams and dreams into reality, and is a pillar of the Walt Disney Company’s historic legacy.

The beautiful bronze statue of Cinderella is one of many tributes to the fairytale in the Grand Hall’s design. Others include railings that glisten, stained glass in her signature colors, rich carpeting embellished with icons from the film, plus nods to her carriage and glass slipper in the metalwork and light fixtures.

The Grand Hall will be the gateway to everything on board the Disney Wish: fairytale worlds, heroic challenges, epicurean indulgences, thrilling adventures, galactic encounters, peaceful escapes, and much more.

The Disney Wish is the first of three new Disney Cruise Line ships to be built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany through 2025. All three ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas and, at approximately 144,000 gross tons, will be slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.

Here’s a behind the scenes video about designing the Dish Wish:

It’s great as a hype video, and certainly has me more excited for the Disney Wish. (Probably in large part because I’m beyond ready to cruise again, in general, honestly.)

It’s cool to see the Wish’s atrium rendered in Imagineering’s Dish, too. Behind the scenes stuff like that is always fun.

As for new details and info, there’s not a ton here, which makes sense given that the grand reveal is only a week away. I did notice there were several props from the live-action Beauty and the Beast that are also found at the new-ish Enchanted Rose Lounge in the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World.

This makes me wonder whether Enchanted Rose is also a concept for the Wish. Even though it’s been open at Walt Disney World for over a year now, it’s even possible that Enchanted Rose was developed first for the Wish. It wouldn’t be the first time something like that has happened.

Ultimately, not a ton of commentary beyond that. Fans might poke fun at the motifs Disney likes to use for these all-encompassing projects, but that’s the nature of the beast. Star Wars, Marvel, Disney Animation, Pixar, etc. are all very disparate properties, yet they all need to be present aboard a new DCL ship. There’s simply no other option–that’s what guests expect. Also expected is that quintessential Disney storytelling, which is what leads to efforts to weave everything together like this. I’ll be very interested to see how that’s executed beyond the atrium!

Written by Tom Bricker

If you can’t take the vaccine, then don’t. You won’t be cruising either. Ya’ll would believe aliens landed on this planet before taking a vaccine. Stop being ignorant and take the vaccine.

My family and I have been on several Disney Cruises, and they were by far our favorite cruise’s. However if we are required to get a vaccine (That I might add has no long term testing for side effects and not something I am willing to give our children that is still considered experimental) we will no longer be sailing with Disney. We also gave up our season tickets to Disney World because of the reservation system they put in place, it was a struggle to use the passes we had paid a significant amounts of money for. Looks like a beautiful ship, I hope those who sail on her have a wonderful time. .

Sooo beautiful!!! We had always planned on cruising, but we wanted to wait until our youngest was 5. We were hoping to book a cruise last year, but, you know…Covid. Now that cruise lines will most likely require vaccination to board, we may not get the chance. 🙁 I understand why they would require them, I just wish that if they’re going to go that route, they would accept proof of antibodies as well. We’re not vaccinated but we are immune to Covid, having gotten it and recovered. We should not be required to get a vaccine for something we already have the antibodies for. So little is known about how long immunity lasts (both natural & from the vaccine) that I actually think an antibody test taken within a certain time before departure makes more sense!

We would really like to sail on the wish. We have no problem with vaccines, testing, distanced characters, and masks. I don’t even mind reduced entertainment (no fireworks, sail away party etc). We do have a problem with everything on the ship requiring a reservation or virtual queue (pool deck, kids club, trivia etc.)… While they’ve had some reserved activities in the past (spa, golf, drink tastings), if you didn’t get a reservation for those those, there was plenty to do on the ship every hour of the day. Now if you don’t get a reservation I guess you are just stuck in your room reading a book–while paying disney cruise prices for the privilege.

Imagine if they had the same concept for disney parks: if every ride was like Rise if Resistance and if you aren’t lucky enough ti get a reservation you won’t be riding anything. Hated that for ROTR, and I’d hate it even more being stuck on a cruise ship with nothing to do.

I hope that is not a long term plan as we won’t be back on a disney cruise until we can be sure we’ll get to partake in at least some activities and it won’t all be booked up by the platinum and concierge cruisers, or left to a same-day “virtual queue” lottery.

Vaccines prevent transmission. Please stop those lies. I am so tired of this crap peddled by people who are outing themselves as anti vaxxers essentially even those in government who clearly want this to continue. They work like any vaccine does by preventing transmission as well as severe illness. I had it. It was mild. Swine flu on the other hand was horrendous.

Very disturbing that the UK is requiring people to be vaccinated. That won’t go over well here in the US. We’ve been on about 8 cruises with Disney and they do it right! However, if they require the vaccine, we will not be going anymore. Sad that this is what the world is coming to. What’s go for one, might not be good for another.

This looks beautiful! I’d like to remind people that the vaccine does not prevent COVID. It’s supposed to help with not getting severe symptoms or hospital stays should you get COVID. They have no proof yet that it keeps you from spreading it, should you contract it. You could have it and be either asymptotic, or presymptomatic and spreading it, even to fully vaccinated people. Severe or mild, I don’t want it!

With regard to infection, and by extension transmission, from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0329-COVID-19-Vaccines.html

I am so excited for cruising to return but very nervous we won’t ever experience it again the way it was before, with the freedom and fun it provided on board. And with allergies to the vaccine, that isn’t an option for some members of my family, so we may have to wait much longer. I have a fantasy cruise booked for next year but I’m fully expecting to have to cancel it. Regardless, the Wish looks really neat and I’m excited to see the rest of it! We are huge DCL fans!!!

I’m guessing they are starting out very conservative by requiring both vaccination and masking. They don’t want to be on the evening news as a ship with a COVID outbreak. Are they booking to full capacity?

On the subject of Disney Cruise Line – Tom, have you seen the updates to the UK Magic at Sea? They’re requiring all adults to be fullly vaccinated, but still ask all guests over age 11 wear masks and socially distance. As well as that, there’s no rotational dining – you have one dining table to yourself for the whole cruise.

I was on the fence before, but because of the UK vaccination system (12 weeks between shots, youngest adults – I’m 27 – only likely to get the first shot in July) I probably won’t be able to. But, even if I was vaccinated, no way I’m going without rotational dining. And it makes no sense to me to ask for masks and distancing when every adult has proof of vaccination. I don’t think this bodes well for the return of DCL elsewhere…

https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/why-cruise-disney/experience-updates/

Thanks for the heads up. I saw some questions/uncertainty…maybe last weekend…but missed the latest development.

I wouldn’t be doing it in those circumstances, either.

Never been on a Disney cruise but I hope next year! It looks beautiful.

More worried about noro than I about anything else on a cruise…

I’m with you Tom, I can’t wait to cruise again. After several cancellations and rebooking with DCL, I sincerely hope the CDC lifts their death grip by 2022. We gave up on cruising in 2021 so we’re all in on WDW until then.

Booking on this as soon as we can ! Looks lovely abs magical

I don’t have vaccine hesitancy.. but I do have cruise hesitancy after the last year..

That said… it looks like it will be a gorgeous ship, very tempting.

Photos show what Disney's most extravagant cruise ship is like, from a theme-park ride to a 'Frozen'-themed restaurant

In September 2022, I took a three-day trip on Disney's newest cruise ship: the Wish.
The boat has 14 giant decks where you'll find restaurants, shops, theaters, and more.
There are also pools, bars, and a Disney theme-park ride on board the family-friendly ship.

Disney Cruise Line is known for its family-friendly ships that sail around the world. The newest in its fleet is called the Wish.

The Wish is Disney's largest cruise ship to date, being both longer and wider than the Disney Magic ship.

Read more: We compared every aspect of Disney's largest and smallest cruise ships. Here's what it's like to sail on each.

I took a 3-day vacation — my first cruise experience — on the Disney Wish in September 2022, and I was immediately blown away by how massive the ship was.

Read more: I traveled on a $30 shuttle from Florida's busiest airport to a Disney cruise ship. It was crowded, but I'd do it again.

There are 14 giant decks on board the Disney Wish. You enter into The Grand Hall on deck three.

This opulent, main deck is inspired by Cinderella. There are gem-encrusted banisters, a winding staircase, and a stage where you can often find performers.

It's also home to spots like Nightingale's, an intimate bar inspired by Cinderella's song "Oh, Sing Sweet Nightingale." You can listen to live music and order bubble-themed drinks there.

If you prefer "Star Wars" over princesses, you'll want to visit the Hyperspace Lounge — but you'll need a reservation.

I loved both bars, but my favorite was The Bayou. Inspired by "The Princess and the Frog," it's a place to listen to live music, order beignets, and drink.

In between bars, you'll find an array of high-end stores that sell handbags, diamonds, and other luxury items.

The elevators that bring you between decks are surprisingly luxurious. There are princess-themed carpets outside, and gold-flaked mirrors inside.

Twice a day, the Walt Disney Theater hosts Broadway-level performances. On the Wish, that includes productions of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin."

Outside the theater, you can purchase snacks like popcorn. During my trip, each bucket cost $3.

Read more: I spent almost $4,000 on a 3-day Disney cruise. Here's what everything cost, from $200 worth of souvenirs to a $13 bike rental.

One of the ship's rotational dining restaurants, 1923, is also found on deck three. It's inspired by Disney animation and the start of the Walt Disney Company.

When you head up to deck four, you'll find guest services. There was usually a long line during my trip, but it moved quickly.

But while you're waiting, you can enjoy beverages from the Wishing Star Cafe — a tiny coffee spot that's subtly inspired by "Pinocchio."

Next door is a salon for young travelers: the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. There, they can get makeovers to look like princesses, princes, or ship captains.

As for entertainment, you can stop by Luna. The lounge offers family-friendly activities during the day, and games like bingo for adults at night.

Or you can visit one of two movie theaters to watch newly-released Disney movies. One is inspired by "Alice in Wonderland," and the other is "Peter Pan"-themed.

And of course, there's a restaurant on deck four. Called Worlds of Marvel, the interactive experience offers food from Marvel movies and an appearance from Ant-Man.

On deck five, you can stop by the Enchanted Sword Cafe for a treat. It's set up exactly like the Wishing Star cafe, but with a "The Sword in the Stone" theme.

Or you can stop by Mickey's Mainsail, a massive gift shop that sells clothes, children's toys, toiletries, and even Christmas ornaments.

My favorite spot on this deck is Keg & Compass. The nautical bar was created with so much detail, like Disney-themed maps on the ceilings and wood-carved portholes.

For dinner on deck five, you'll experience a one-of-a-kind restaurant called Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure. The space looks exactly like scenes in the movie, and fan-favorite characters like Elsa sing as you dine.

Decks six through 10 are where you'll find staterooms. I stayed in the least expensive one, which cost $2,700 and had no window.

Read more: I spent $2,700 to stay 3 nights in the cheapest room aboard Disney's newest cruise ship. While it didn't have a window, my stateroom exceeded my expectations.

The 169-square-foot room had a lifted queen bed, pullout couch, closet, vanity, and TV, among other amenities. I loved the small space.

Even the bathroom was nice, with a decent-sized tub and brightly-lit walls.

Read more: I packed for a Disney cruise with just a carry-on and personal item. Here are 3 things I'm glad I brought and 5 I regret not having.

My favorite part of the stateroom decks was the art that lined the walls. Each floor had pieces from different movies, like "The Princess and the Frog."

During a walking tour of the ship, an employee said there are more than 4,000 pieces from artists around the world on board.

Deck 11 is the place to go when you want a dip in the pool. But fair warning: They were always crowded when I visited.

The pools face a giant, outdoor TV screen, which played movies like "Cruella" when I visited. Bars like The Lookout were also nearby.

But the spot I visited most on deck 11 was the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods market. There, you could get everything from personal pizzas to barbecue — all included in your trip.

And for dessert, I'd visit the "Inside Out"-inspired spot Joyful Sweets. There, you can buy pastries, ice cream, and some candy.

If you want to switch things up, Marceline Market is another breakfast and lunch option. There were more food options here, but the hours were more limited.

There are smaller pools on deck 12. Though you can see them from the lower level, they're technically on a different deck.

This deck is also where you'll find Hero Zone, an activities center that offers an inflatable obstacle course multiple times per day. Children and adults can partake.

The Rose is an elegant, "Beauty and the Beast"-themed bar that offers stunning ocean views during the day, and a cozy, romantic vibe at night.

If you're looking for a thrill, head up to deck 13 for the AquaMouse — Disney's first theme-park ride on a cruise ship. It's quick, but lots of fun.

Adults can have a getaway at the Cove Cafe and adjacent pool. There's also lots of private seating in this section.

The only decks I didn't visit were one and two. The lowest level is home to the health clinic, and the second has a nursery and children's club.

Overall, the Disney Wish is huge with countless spots to explore. After spending three days on board, I felt like I needed three more to experience everything.

The New Disney Wish Will Be the Most Magical Ship at Sea — Take a Look Inside

Disney Cruise Line just unveiled details about its newest ship, including the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, Frozen - and Marvel-themed dining experiences, and an adults-only Star Wars lounge.

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

The Disney Wish is going to be Disney Cruise Line's most magical ship yet, and we're giving you a first look at all the incredible experiences guests will find on board. Setting sail July 14, 2022, the Disney Wish is packed with firsts that Disney fans will love, including the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, a Frozen -themed theatrical dining experience, a Marvel dinner adventure, an Imagineering lab for kids, and an adults-only Star Wars lounge. And it doesn't stop there — the ship's staterooms (including four stunning royal suites) are absolutely dreamy, with fairy-tale touches that reflect the ship's overall motif of enchantment.

Travel + Leisure talked to Laura Cabo, portfolio creative executive for Walt Disney Imagineering, about the new ship's creation and design. Cabo said the cruise is a uniquely intimate experience because once guests board, they never have to leave the Disney magic — "guests get to live and dine and play with our characters."

Cabo said enchantment is a hallmark of the Disney brand, and it guides every experience and space they create for guests on board, with designs focusing on fairy-tale castles, forests and animals, and the spirit of the sea. From the moment guests walk into the castle-like Great Hall, they're entering the universe of beloved Disney stories and the world of the ports they're sailing to.

She said the ship's name — the Disney Wish — reflects all those fairy-tale characters guests will see throughout the ship, like Rapunzel and Cinderella, and the excitement that guests feel when their dreams come true through these enchanted experiences. All the Disney ships offer magical experiences and fantastic storytelling, but this new ship provided a great opportunity to tell beloved Disney stories in a new and exciting way, according to Cabo.

"With the Disney Wish, we're continuing our tradition of delivering the most magical and relaxing vacations at sea, combining legendary service and entertainment with imaginative storytelling and all the care you expect from a Disney vacation," said Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney parks, experiences and products, in a statement shared with T+L. "Our newest ship will celebrate everything that families love about sailing with us, from the incredible dining experiences and character interactions, to dazzling shows and the crew's thoughtful attention to detail. We can't wait to welcome our guests aboard the Disney Wish as we expand the reach of our world-class fleet."

The Disney Wish will embark on its maiden voyage on June 9, 2022, and it will offer three- and four-night itineraries from Port Canaveral, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas and Castaway Cay, Disney's private island. Bookings will open to the public in less than a month on May 27, 2021.

Here are some of the incredible new experiences guests can look forward to on the Disney Cruise Line's newest ship.

All-new Dining Experiences on the Disney Wish

A trio of new family-friendly restaurants offer totally unique dining experiences. Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure will invite guests to Queen Anna and Kristoff's royal engagement party, picking up where "Frozen 2" left off. A theater-in-the-round style venue will bring the story to life with sing-a-longs, a true-to-scale Olaf puppet, and panoramic windows that will transform from ocean views to the northern lights.

Worlds of Marvel will put guests at the center of an Avengers adventure with a menu inspired by the superhero films. And 1923, a restaurant named for the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, will combine old Hollywood glamour with Disney animation. It will feature a California-inspired menu.

Adult guests will get to enjoy a set of exclusive dining experiences on board the Disney Wish, too, including Star Wars : Hyperspace Lounge, an elegant bar serving drinks inspired by the films. The lounge's interior is "inspired by lavish star cruisers similar to Dryden Vos's ship in 'Solo: A Star Wars Story,'" according to a press release shared with T+L. Guests will be transported to iconic locations from the Star Wars universe, with views from a virtual "window" into the action, a holotube presenting holographic models of other starships, and surround-sound audio.

Finally, three adults-only venues inspired by "Beauty and the Beast" will offer upscale dining in beautiful settings. Palo Steakhouse, inspired by Cogsworth, will offer a selection of Italian dishes and incredible steaks. Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement will be the most luxurious option on board, with a gourmet menu crafted by the three-Michelin-starred chef and touches inspired by Lumiere. The Rose, located at the entrance of these two venues, will offer a magical spot for drinks and small plates.

The First-ever Disney Attraction at Sea: AquaMouse

One of the most exciting "firsts" on board the Disney Wish is the first-ever Disney attraction at sea. AquaMouse is a family water attraction that brings Mickey shorts to life, and it will include show scenes, lighting and special effects, and more throughout its 760 feet of tubes perched above the upper decks. Guests will board two-seater vehicles and ascend into the Mickey cartoon world of a new animated short called "Scuba Scramble." They'll zip through tunnels and up and down speed blasters before reaching a loop over the edge of the ship where they'll see clear views down to the ocean.

The fun doesn't end there. The Wish will have more pools and deck space than any other Disney ship, including a Toy Story Splash Zone for children. And only adults can access the Quiet Cove, an 18+ area complete with an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, cafe, and bar.

Enchanting Staterooms and Suites on the Disney Wish

The accommodations on board the Disney Wish will feature artwork and designs inspired by beloved fairy tales like Cinderella and include ample rooms for guests to store their luggage and relax. The ship has 1,254 staterooms, most of which will offer an ocean view, with the option to connect many rooms for larger groups traveling together. The new ship will offer more concierge staterooms than any other ship; 76 concierge staterooms and suites will have spacious accommodations inspired by "Tangled." These include one-bedroom concierge suites and the first-ever staterooms located above the bridge, which will offer incredible ocean views with floor-to-ceiling windows. Four royal suites inspired by "Sleeping Beauty" will offer unbeatable space and luxury.

There are two Princess Aurora Royal Suites and two Briar Rose Suites, and each pair includes a two-story and a single-story configuration. These suites have some truly incredible features, including a private hot tub on the veranda, two master bedrooms, and more, plus, the two-story suites will have floor-to-ceiling windows, a spiral staircase, and two-deck-high stained glass. The Concierge Lounge is also getting a sizable upgrade on the new ship — it will be more than three times the size of the lounges on other Disney ships — and it will offer a full bar, light bites, a kids' area, and a private sun deck with whirlpools, a wading pool, and more.

Entertainment on the Disney Wish

Disney Cruise Line ships are known for their world-class entertainment focusing on popular Disney stories, and the Disney Wish will take that to the next level with the fairy tale-inspired Grand Hall stage, celestial Luna venue, and the Hero Zone sports area. The Disney Wish will premiere two new stage shows (to be announced at a later date), and it will include an adaptation of "Disney's Aladdin — A Musical Spectacular." The ship will also have two cinemas and plenty more entertainment options on board.

Kids of all ages will love the themed spaces and fun programming available on the Disney Wish. The It's a Small World Nursery will cater to cruisers ages six months to three years, and Disney's Oceaneer Club will provide state-of-the-art areas for kids ages three to 12. These will include the Marvel Super Hero Academy, Fairytale Hall, and the new Walt Disney Imagineering Lab, where kids can learn Disney Imagineering secrets and design coasters at the Ride Studio. Edge caters to children ages 11 to 14 with a New York City-inspired space, and Vibe, an artsy Parisian hangout, is for teens 14 to 17.

PHOTOS: A Tour of All the Pools on the Wish, Disney Cruise Line’s Newest Ship

Depending on how you count, Disney’s Cruise Lines’ newest ship, the Wish, has about twice as many pools as fleet’s older ships. Here’s a tour, along with the rules related swimming on the Wish. Before we get started, here’s an screenshot of Wish decks 11-15 so you can see the overview of pool locations (the light blue areas). All the pools on Decks 11 and 12 have views of the FunnelVision screen that shows Disney movies throughout the day.

There are life vests available to borrow at several locations on the pool decks.

The Toy Story Splash Zone is only water location available to guests who are not potty trained. Swim diapers are not allowed in the regular pools.

While Disney and the deck plan indicate that pools are on a particular deck, several of the pools are located in intermediate zones between decks – see the Minnie pool photos below, for example. Guests with mobility issues may have issues accessing the pools that are surrounded by stairs.

In all pool locations, you may wear googles that cover your eyes, but swim masks that cover your nose or mouth are not permitted. You may not use floats, rafts, noodles, or snorkels in the onboard pools.

Most of the pools have sturdy covers that are moved over the water in the evening. The covers may act as a stage area or guest viewing area during nighttime performances on deck.

Note: Pool hours vary. At least one pool is typically open as early as 8:30 a.m. and at least one pool is typically open until 9:00 p.m. Pools openings and closings are staggered. The netting shown on some of the pool photos below is put in place when the pool is closed to guests.

Mickey’s Pool, Deck 11

Located closest to the FunnelVision screen, Mickey’s pool is 2 feet deep throughout. It has a maximum capacity of 50 guests. There is a substantial shallow lip before the depth increases.

Minnie’s Pool, Deck 11

Minnie’s pool is located in the center of Deck 11. The water depth is 2″ throughout. This pool has a maximum capacity of 63 guests.

Daisy’s Pool, Deck 11

Daisy’s pool is 6″ deep, just enough to cool off your feet. This pool has a maximum capacity of 35 guests.

Pluto’s Pool, Deck 11

Like the Daisy pool, Pluto’s pool is 6″ deep, with a maximum capacity of 35 guests.

Trixie’s Falls, Deck 12

Trixie’s Falls is located near the Toy Story Splash Zone. The water is 6″ deep, with a maximum capacity of 68 guests. There is a small fountain in the center of the pool. The back wall has a gentle waterfall feature.

Donald’s Pool, Deck 12

Donald’s pool is 4’6″ deep with a maximum capacity of 45 guests.

Goofy’s Pool, Deck 12

Goofy’s pool is a mirror of Donald’s pool. It is also 4’6″ deep and has a maximum capacity of 45 guests.

Toy Story Splash Zone, Deck 12

The Splash Zone is for guests under the age of six. It has a maximum capacity of 20 guests. Children who are not yet potty trained MUST wear swim diapers.

There are toddler-sized slides on both ends of the Splash Zone, separated by a variety of oversized Toy Story character heads that squirt water. Additional water elements squirt from the floor.

The Wish Tower Suite is located directly above the Splash Zone.

Quiet Cove Pool, Deck 13

The Quiet Cove pool is 6″ deep and has a maximum capacity of 13 guests. The pools in the Quiet Cove area for adults 18 and up only.

Additionally there is a Quiet Cove infinity-style pool. This has a depth of 3’3″ and a maximum capacity of 26 guests.

There is also a whirlpool spa nearby that is heated to a maximum temperature of 104 degree Farenheit and has a maximum capacity of 7 guests.

Chip & Dale’s Pool, Deck 14

Chip & Dale’s pool is the ship’s designated “quiet pool.” It is removed from the main water areas, with less noise from the FunnelVision and fewer guests nearby. Guests with sensory overload issues may find this pool particularly appealing. It 2′ deep and has a maximum capacity of 60 guests.

AquaMouse, Entrance on Deck 13

The AquaMouse is a 760-foot “watercoaster” that circles the exterior of the ship. Guests ride in rafts. Each raft is capable of holding two people, though you are welcome to ride alone. Posted signage states that single riders may have to wait longer, as groups of two per raft are prioritized.

During the ride, one of two Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts (either “Scuba Scramble” or “Swiss Meltdown”) plays on a series of video screens embedded in the walls of the ride tube. Intermittent squirts of water spray on you during the ride. A portion of the ride tunnel is clear, allowing guests to see the outdoors, but most of the ride tunnel has white walls.

Guests riding alone must be at least 48″ tall. Guests must be at least 42″ tall to ride with someone else. People under age seven must be accompanied by a guest age 14 or older.

Wheelchair or EVC users must transfer to the raft to ride. A posted warning states, “For safety, you should be in good health and free from heart conditions that could be aggravated by the adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.”

Loose articles such as sunglasses, cell phones, and cameras are not permitted. You are also not allowed to wear swim gear with any exposed metal such as zippers or rivets. I didn’t see cast members particularly inspecting anyone’s clothing (though you may experience something different) – the idea is that they don’t want you wearing anything that could puncture or otherwise damage the rafts or ride tube.

Floatation devices and vests are not permitted on the AquaMouse.

You enter and exit the ride at the same location, you do not have to carry your raft.

Slide-a-Saurus Rex, Entrance on Deck 12

The Slide-a-Saurus is the bright yellow slide located under the AquaMouse. Guests must be at least 38″ tall to ride. Only one rider is allowed on the slide at a time – no lap sitting or tandem riding is permitted. Guests must slide feet first, lying on their back.

The slide access point is located near the entrance to the Splash Zone. Guests must climb a flight of stairs to get to the top of the slide. Wooden cubbies are available for guests to leave belongings such as hats or glasses, which are not permitted on the slide.

3 thoughts on “ PHOTOS: A Tour of All the Pools on the Wish, Disney Cruise Line’s Newest Ship ”

Are any of these pools in restricted areas, where you must be an adult or staying in a certain category of cabin? For instance, the deck plan for deck 13 forward says, “Concierge Lounge and Pool.” Did you not get to see it? Likewise, the plan for deck 13 aft says the Quiet Cove it is adults only.

You are correct that the pools in the Quiet Cove area are for guests 18 and up only. Sorry for the omission – I’ve added that information to the post.

There is a pool that is restricted to use by Concierge-Level guests. I was unable to see this area as I was not sailing Concierge.

Thanks! It’s good to know that not all pools are available for everyone on board.

Disney Wish Staterooms

Disney Wish: 9 things to know about Disney's newest ship

It's official: Disney's "Wish" has indeed come true, as Disney Cruise Line 's first new ship in a decade has joined the fleet.

Disney Cruise Line describes itself as "where magic meets the sea" — and now that it's recently wrapped up a media preview sailing of the ship, we can confirm that it is not only magical but also absolutely beautiful and very different from the other four Disney ships .

For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Since 1998, Disney has embraced many of the same skills it uses while making its captivating movies to create a real-life setting on its first four ships that transports guests to a world where almost anything feels possible.

With its original class of ships, Disney introduced "magic" portholes in interior staterooms, fireworks celebrations at sea, paintings that "move," rotational dining rooms that transform and four age-specific kids clubs where children actually want to spend time.

Given the opportunity to design the first all-new Disney ship in 10 years and ultimately set the stage for the next class of ships at Disney Cruise Line, Disney Imagineers had both an exciting opportunity and an almost Herculean task of creating a whole new level of magic on the first of these new ships: Disney Wish.

Sailing from Port Canaveral for three- and four-night itineraries to the Bahamas for the foreseeable future, Disney Cruise Line's fifth ship is a stunning departure from its sister ships, to say the least.

Here are nine things unique to Disney Wish that we feel really set it apart.

Upgraded rooms and suites

I'll happily admit to being a sucker for a suite at sea and Disney concierge service amenities, but all of the cabins on Wish are a big step up for Disney Cruise Line.

Disney Wish cabins have a more subdued and upscale vibe than the cabins on Disney's four other ships, with a fairy-tale aesthetic featuring flourishes of gold and hidden surprises, such as special lighting effects over the pull-out bunk bed for kids.

In total, there are 1,254 rooms, 70% of which have balconies (or verandahs, as Disney calls them). Additionally, more than one-third (451) have connecting doors. There is a record number of concierge-level staterooms and suites, too, with 76 available (double the number of concierge-designated accommodations you'll find on other Disney vessels).

Each one-bedroom concierge suite has a separate living room, walk-in closets, two 43-inch TVs and two bathrooms, one of which features a rain shower, a bathtub and a double vanity.

New to Disney Wish are seven ocean-view rooms located over the bridge — a first for Disney Cruise Line. These rooms have an extended living area with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bow and ocean.

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. Hey, it's free to dream, isn't it? So, let's fantasize about the soaking tub, private hot tub, two master bedrooms, spiral staircase and two-deck-high stained-glass frieze.

For cruisers who enjoy booking a room with access to the Concierge Lounge, Disney says it is more than triple the size of lounges on previous Disney ships, offering a "full bar, delicious light bites … an outdoor terrace with incredible views" and a special area for kids.

There is a private sun deck with two whirlpools, a wading pool and a bar, which is great news, as the main Disney pool areas tend to get pretty crowded.

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.

All-new on-ship attractions

Star wars: hyperspace lounge takes you to another galaxy.

I'll spare you the "out of this world" puns to describe the adult-focused Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge on Disney Wish.

However, after watching (and feeling) the ship make multiple jumps to hyperspace, I can tell you this is a must-visit spot to grab a drink. You'll love sipping a space-themed cocktail at the bar while watching ships pass by — even if you don't go for the $5,000 "Star Wars" drink .

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. You can expect to take that jump through hyperspace to a different part of the galaxy every seven minutes or so.

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.

But this space doesn't merely focus on what is happening "outside" — there's a whole lot going on inside the high-end, sophisticated lounge as well. While it's not as immersive as Disney's other "Star Wars" bars when you factor out the high-tech windows, it's still a cool — and very popular — space.

Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge is open to families during the day, but every night starting at 9 p.m., the yacht-style lounge transforms into an adults-only venue ideal for kicking back and enjoying galactic-themed cocktails.

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.

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. It's no "Star Wars" hotel , but it's still pretty memorable.

And, fine, maybe on my next Wish cruise I'll bring my kids here during the day, too.

The waterslide is more than just a waterslide

If you've sailed on Disney Dream or Disney Fantasy, you've likely experienced the AquaDuck waterslide .

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.

The AquaMouse, which any cruiser who is at least 42 inches tall can ride, features show scenes, lighting effects, a dark tunnel, an original soundtrack and more than 60 water effects for a two-minute ride that spans 760 feet of tubing above the upper decks (and there are two totally different experiences available ).

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.

These shows are done in the same style as the newer Mickey shorts and what is featured at Hollywood Studios' Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. The cartoon scenes take place across multiple 85-inch screens during the 75 seconds you are traveling up the tunnel while you get soaked in a raft built for two.

At the height of the show, you blast out of the tunnel and embark on a water ride around the upper decks. This ride also includes a series of speed blasters before its grand finale: a soaring loop over the edge of the ship. As an added bonus, you won't have to carry your own raft to the start of the ride.

I'm not sure the experience was so different than AquaDuck to label it a full-on attraction like you'd find in the theme parks, but it is certainly a waterslide worth checking out.

Lots of (really good) pools

One feature that was a bit under-hyped leading up to the first Wish sailing was the pools.

There are more of them on Disney Wish than you'll find on the other Disney ships, and they are spread out, so you have a better chance of finding one that is tucked away and less crowded.

The adults-only pool is especially worth mentioning, as it is an infinity pool that looks off the back of the ship. That said, all of the pools are much better than others I've seen on Disney Cruise Line.

New rotational restaurants

The first four Disney cruise ships revolutionized dinner at sea by introducing a trio of themed restaurants where you — and the serving crew and other guests — rotate together throughout the nights of your cruise.

Disney Wish retains the rotational dining format but with a lineup of all-new dining experiences.

Worlds of Marvel

When it's your turn to dine in the Worlds of Marvel restaurant, which is the first-ever Marvel cinematic dining adventure, you'll have a role to play in saving the universe. As you eat at one of the 120 tables, you'll have access to a "quantum core" to use throughout your meal.

Between courses, all of which are inspired by the Marvel cinematic universe, there's a three-act event that starts off with Ant-Man and the Wasp doing a demonstration of what your quantum core can do.

During the main portion of the dinner service, the screens all around the room highlight the technology used by the superheroes, such as Captain America's shield and the vibranium that comes from Wakanda.

The real excitement begins toward the end of your meal.

I won't give away the ending, but you can expect a supervillain as well as some extra help from "good guys" like Captain Marvel and Captain America. You'll also need to use your quantum core in the battle against evil, so don't fill up too much on shrunken desserts until you save the ship.

Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure

Next up on our foodie tour around the ship is Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure . This is Disney's first "Frozen"-themed theatrical dining experience.

The show takes place immediately after "Frozen II" and celebrates the engagement of Kristoff and Anna with immersive live entertainment performed in the round of the dining room.

The Arendelle menu is Nordic-influenced, though there are options from a little closer to home, too, should you prefer less-adventurous items. The food here was some of our favorite on the ship, and the show was also pretty top-notch. There's even a celebration line toward the end similar to what happens in Tiana's Place aboard Disney Wonder .

But seriously, don't miss this dinner unless you hate "Frozen," live music and all things fun. In that case, maybe consider booking Palo.

The last of Disney Wish's new rotational restaurants is 1923, which is named after the year the Walt Disney Company was founded.

Disney says this restaurant features the best of the golden age of Hollywood, with the style of the furniture inspired by what was actually in Walt's office. The menu pays tribute to the company's Californian roots, and the dining room has a more intimate feel thanks to being divided into two equal parts that mirror each other.

While there are not any villains or live entertainment here, the more laid-back setting is much appreciated, especially if you're seeking a similar dining pace and styling to what's available on the first four Disney ships.

However, if you are on a shorter cruise and need to skip one or more of the included restaurants to try out one of the adults-only spaces, this may be the one to forgo, unless you prefer quiet dinners. You can also visit for breakfast or lunch on certain days if you're set on working it into your cruise.

Additional dining options

The list of places to eat aboard Disney Wish is actually even longer than the three previously mentioned rotational dining restaurants.

For those willing to spend a little extra (and lucky enough to snag a reservation), the adults-only restaurants on Wish shouldn't be missed. Options include Palo Steakhouse, which combines the best of high-end Italian cuisine with a steakhouse in a setting that features subtle nods to "Beauty and the Beast," and Enchanté, where French-inspired fare concocted by the same chef who was behind the food at Remy (an upscale restaurant on board Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy) is on the menu.

I tried out Palo while on Disney Wish, and it was over-the-top amazing when it came to the service, the views and, of course, the food itself.

Connecting both of these luxe dining options is The Rose, a lounge that offers wine, small bites and other adult-focused items designed for pre- or post-dinner enjoyment.

These restaurants and the adjacent lounge are absolutely gorgeous, and the food ranks as some of the best I've ever had ... anywhere.

A meal at Palo will start at around $45 per person, though that's for the set menu. A la carte items where the price is not set are available, too. Meals at Enchanté cost $125 per person for the set menu or you can order a la carte dishes. At The Rose, drinks are by the glass, so you can pop in whenever you're free — and you should, as it's an incredibly elegant spot ideal for unwinding without kids.

If you're looking for a casual venue to dine in with kids, be sure to check out the new version of the buffet: Marceline Market. Named after Walt Disney's hometown in Missouri, this eatery has 10 food stalls and a beverage center. Each station features a Disney movie theme, such as "Tangled," "Ratatouille," "Alice in Wonderland" or "Zootopia."

The food was delicious here, and I appreciated the addition of a place to order premium coffee and other beverages adjacent to the market. Know, though, that the seafood is a little hidden. You'll find it tucked away from the other stalls all the way in the aft.

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.

This food is vastly better than the pool deck food I've had on other Disney ships, so be sure to save time for at least one meal out on the deck. Don't skip the hot sauce bar, either.

A reimagined kids club

For families, one of the best parts of a family cruise with Disney Cruise Line is that kids often want to go to the complimentary kids clubs. This gives grown-ups a chance to have a drink, not rush through dinner and enjoy a few moments to themselves.

While this holds true on all the Disney ships, my 6-year-old never wanted to leave the kids club on Disney Wish.

In a pure stroke of genius, Disney added a fun, unconventional way for kids to enter the Oceaneer Club. After checking into the kids club from the Grand Hall on Deck 3, children can zip down a magical slide that takes them straight into the space on Deck 2.

In addition to the Oceaneer Club for kids ages 3 to 12, Disney Wish retains the cruise line's other kids clubs: Edge (for children ages 11 to 14) and Vibe (for teens ages 14 to 17). There's also the colorful Small World Nursery, which is a fee-based option open to the littlest baby and toddler sailors.

Kids club highlights include the Oceaneer Club's Marvel Super Hero Academy, where kids can design (and virtually fly in) their own super suit. This club also houses Rapunzel's Art Studio, Belle's Library and Anna and Elsa's Sommerhus, where there will be a variety of games with Olaf serving as the host. Additionally, there's a Disney Imagineering Lab that offers kids opportunities to design and virtually ride their own roller coasters and more — similar to how the real Imagineers take their concepts from the drawing board to actual attractions.

In Deck 5's tween club, Edge, kids can hang out in a New York City -inspired loft space with a faux-grass picnic area, photo walls and an entrance hidden behind a framed piece of art.

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.

New activities for the family

Olaf's royal picnic.

If your kids have always wanted to celebrate summer via a picnic with Olaf in Arendelle's Castle, they are in luck on the Wish. Set in an indoor space with a backdrop of a meadow of flowers, Olaf's Royal Picnic features Olaf, Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and a song-filled picnic complete with a ton of goodies for the kids to keep.

Unlike the included rotational restaurants, this experience costs extra. Expect to pay a hefty fee of $220 per child and $69 per adult.

We weren't able to try it out during the media preview cruise, as it wasn't available for testing at the time, but we'll be sure to report back once we do.

Wishing wands

A Disney Cruise Line embarkation greeting was already extremely special, but the company has dialed up the magic for kids sailing on Disney Wish. Every child that boards the ship receives a wishing wand to make a "first wish" of the trip and to wish again in the Grand Hall on the final night of the voyage. The latter even features a special appearance by none other than the ship's Fairy Godmother, who kicks off a farewell show.

Inside Out: Joyful Sweets

If you've visited Vanellope's Sweets & Treats Shop on Disney Dream, you already know how big children's eyes can get over the massive sundaes and sugary concoctions.

On the Wish, there's a new dessert shop called Inside Out: Joyful Sweets, where about 40 flavors of gelato and ice cream are served.

So far, I can vouch for the PB&J and Kit Kat gelato flavors — but really, you can't go wrong with any flavor you choose. There are even a few plant-based options available.

Should you crave a cupcake instead of gelato or ice cream, you're in luck: You'll have your pick of emotion-flavored cupcakes, such as Joy (lemon), Sadness (blueberry), Disgust (pistachio), Anger (red velvet) and Fear (bubble gum).

Fantastic adults-only spaces

While the kids are at the variety of clubs designed for them, adults can take advantage of spaces for the 18-and-older crowd. In fact, that's one reason why I love Disney cruises so much — the kids want to do the kids activities, which means adults get to enjoy amenities designed for us, too.

The adults-only spaces on Disney Wish are not clustered together in one area like they are on Disney's other ships. Instead, they are sprinkled throughout, with several located right next door to a kids club.

We've already talked about The Rose near Palo and Enchanté and Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, but on the same deck as the Hyperspace Lounge by the main kids club, there are two additional lounges worth noting: Nightingale's piano bar and The Bayou, a New Orleans -themed space inspired by "The Princess and the Frog."

Both have delicious drinks, but Nightingale's offers a more upscale vibe than what you'll find at The Bayou, which features more of a full-on party setting, especially when live music is playing.

Additionally, this ship is the first in Disney's lineup to provide an outdoor space at its Senses Spa. It's an ideal place to relax while taking in the fresh sea air.

For adults craving a pint, there is also the Keg & Compass pub, which draws inspiration from an 1800s Norwegian sailor's map room. It serves three custom craft brews you can only get on Disney Wish.

Lastly, there's a space made for adults seeking extra pampering beyond the spa. At the bright and airy Untangled Salon, you can treat yourself to a number of hair and nail services, including haircuts, blowouts and manicures.

New Broadway-style shows and entertainment

Disney Wish has a full roster of new Broadway -style shows, along with several other new entertainment offerings.

On embarkation night in the Walt Disney Theatre, which now has an enchanted forest design, there is a "Disney Seas The Adventure" show that stars Captain Minnie, Goofy and other Disney and Pixar characters.

Disney Wish is also home to "A Treasure Retold – Disney The Little Mermaid," which is said to be an original Broadway-style stage adaptation of the 1989 animated movie — with a modern twist.

Additionally, the ship offers "Disney's Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular" on one night of every cruise. This show is a reimagined adaptation of the classic film, depicting it as a fast-paced musical comedy.

Don't forget to pack your eye patches and bandanas, as pirate nights are a go with a "Pirate's Rockin' Parlay Party." And yes, there are pretty substantial fireworks out on deck that night.

A 'hidden' layer of magic

While it wasn't quite operational on our preview cruise, a few months ago, Disney gave TPG a sneak peek at an all-new way that guests can become a part of the story of the ship — and even control some of what happens on board — via the Disney Uncharted Adventure interactive game.

This game continues the Disney tradition of using technology to unlock new ways to tell stories. The technology may be complex, but what shines front and center is the story and the magic it creates.

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. You can do as little or as much of this adventure as you want.

While you do need a smartphone to participate, this isn't a game you play by yourself as you stare down at your device.

Instead, this adventure for the whole family takes you all around the ship as you complete parts of the quest. Using your spyglass, you'll see menu boards transform into messages from Princess Tiana, you'll find "hidden" constellations in the sky and perhaps even bring the glass slipper to life in the Grand Hall.

Those who participate in the Uncharted Adventure game will have the ability to unlock a hidden layer of magic all around the ship. This will all conclude with a big finale on the last night of your cruise when you help battle the evilest witch in the sea in an epic live event.

How to book the Disney Wish

You can book cabins on sailings starting in August 2022. Prices start around $3,000 for double occupancy or $5,000 if sailing as a family with two adults and two kids.

If you are not in a rush to board and are looking for a more affordable price, you can book a cabin for four people in early 2023 for about $3,000 or a cabin for double occupancy for about $1,700.

Disney Wish is based out of Port Canaveral and sails a mix of three- and four-night sailings to the Bahamas. Each includes a stop at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. If you want more time on the ship, you can book back-to-back cruises to create your own seven-night journey.

Related: Best credit cards for booking a cruise

Bookings typically require 20% down, with the full amount due closer to sailing. TPG has an array of tips to save money on a Disney Cruise that you can use to keep costs under control.

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.

Bottom line

Walt Disney himself once said, "We don't look backward for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things."

The creation of Disney Wish embodies this forward progress by charting its own path with a new style for staterooms, all-new restaurants, a different layout, additional pools, new ways to unlock "hidden magic" and more.

Disney Wish doesn't leave the past completely in its wake, though. The exterior of the ship retains that same modern classic design, and you'll still have access to beloved Disney characters, Broadway-caliber shows and entertainment on board.

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. I can't wait to sail it all over again.

Complete Guide to Disney Wish Restaurants + Dining

This post contains affiliate links. Read the full disclosure here .

When you’re planning a cruise, one of the things you may look forward to the most is the seemingly endless amount of dining you can do. And the Disney Wish restaurants definitely know how to treat you to some vacation meals! So here’s our full guide to dining on the Disney Wish , helping you parse out the different dining options and understand how Disney’s rotational dining works.

How Does Dining Work on a Disney Cruise?

Let’s start with how dining works on Disney Cruise Line.

For breakfast and lunch, there are casual dining options you can choose from. Or you can choose to eat at a sit-down restaurant. For dinner though, you will be assigned a restaurant and a dining time as part of Disney Cruise Line’s rotational dining.

Disney Cruise Line Rotational Dining

Disney Cruise Line uses a rotational dining system for dinner. So, when you get on the ship, you’ll find your party assigned to a specific restaurant each night.

Each Disney Cruise ships has three main restaurants. On the Disney Wish these are 1923, Worlds of Marvel, and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure.

One of my favorite things about rotational dining (besides getting to experience all the restaurants on the ship) is that your servers rotate with you . This means that you really get to know them and they get to know you. And as your time on the ship goes on, they’ll start to have things ready for you, like already having kids’ drinks at their places or knowing you’ll want to order coffee after dinner.

Planning a cruise on a different ship? Here’s our full guide to dining on the Disney Magic !

Assigned Seating Time

There are two assigned seating times on Disney Cruises, the early dinner at 5:45 and the late dinner at 8:00.

Of course, most families with kids choose the earlier time, while parties of adults and older children often choose the later time.

And it’s set so that your evening entertainment is opposite your dinner seating . So, if you have the early dinner time, you’ll go to a show after dinner. And if you have the later dinner time, you’ll see your show first.

When you book your cruise, you can choose your dinner seating time. However, if you get on the ship and aren’t happy with your dinner time and need to change it, you can go and talk to guest services.

What Disney Wish Restaurants Are Included in the Price of Your Cruise?

The price of your cruise will include all of the dining you need on your cruise, however it won’t necessarily include all the dining you might want.

Here’s what’s included:

Dining at the three main rotational dinner restaurants
Breakfast at either Marceline Market or the sit-down restaurant (usually on the Wish it’s 1923)
Lunch & snacks at either Marceline Market, Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods, or the sit-down restaurant
Room Service (be sure to tip though!)

What’s not included:

Palo Steakhouse

Olaf’s Royal Picnic

Specialty Drinks and Alcoholic Drinks (even at rotational dining restaurants)
Specialty Coffees
Treats at Inside Out: Joyful Sweets
Food or drinks at any of the lounges

Disney Wish Restaurants: Rotational Dining

There are three rotational dining restaurants on the Disney Wish: 1923, Worlds of Marvel, and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure.

They all have unique menus, and two of the three of them also include an entertainment aspect.

Location: Deck 3 Included in Cruise Price: Yes

1923 is named for the year that the Walt Disney Company was founded. Inside you’ll find all kinds of memorabilia and animation art from the history of Disney movies. So definitely take some time to stroll around the restaurant and look at the display!

It’s also meant to be themed for 1920s glamour, so they have plush seats and gold accents.

The menu evokes California fine-dining, with fresh foods and and a bit of fusion.

The bread service is Fig and Olive Bread with Honey Butter Dip , which I thought was fantastic. I had a hard time choosing an appetizer, but landed on the Hyperion Four-Cheese Tri-Color Tortelloni which I thought were great. For my meal, I had the 1923 Peppered Filet Mignon . The steak and sauce were both perfect, but the green beans left a lot to be desired.

My favorite part may have been the dessert though! I had the Hollywood Hills Hot Chocolate Fudge Sundae , which was so fun and made me feel like a kid, while also being classy enough for the space.

The whole restaurant was a great experience! And this is definitely more of the “fine dining” experience on the ship, because, as you’ll see, the other two restaurants are more character driven.

Worlds of Marvel

Location: Deck 4 Included in Cruise Price: Yes

Worlds of Marvel is such a unique dining experience! Not only is the food super imaginative, but the entertainment is so fun, especially for super-hero loving kids (and adults).

Let start with the food. Many of the menu items are based off of Marvel superheroes and movies, but really this is mostly in the title. What you’ll find in practicality, is fusion dishes from cuisine around the world, including Italian, Asian, and Latin.

And it starts with the funky bread service, a Marble Loaf with Red Bell Pepper Dipping Sauce . For my appetizer I had the Sauteed Crimini and Oyster Mushrooms , which were fine, but I felt like they needed a crostini or something.

My main dish the Chicken Schnitzel which I loved, but my mother-in-law had the Ricotta Gnocchi (one of the vegetarian options) and we all agreed it was the best dish at the table.

For dessert I had the Nano Dobos Torta , because I will always order the chocolate option. It was good, but not particularly memorable.

Then we have to talk about the entertainment! Throughout dinner, the screens around the restaurant will have different segments with Ant Man and the Wasp , who are trying to test out a new Quantum Core to shrink objects. There are various mishaps, which you’ll participate in by pressing the buttons on the Quantum Cores on your table, until it ends in a super hero battle.

The show is fun, and kids will especially love it. But I did feel like the time we waited between show segments were awkward. And it was also VERY loud. So be prepared for that if you’re sensitive to noise.

Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure

Location: Deck 5 Included in Cruise Price: Yes

Arendelle may have been my favorite dining experience of all three of the rotational options! It’s a restaurant themed after Frozen , and includes a center stage where the entertainment is pretty constant throughout dinner. Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf visit of course. But mainly there are Arendelle musicians performing various hits from the movies.

I also thought the food here was excellent. Most of it has a Nordic twist , and I loved it.

Pro Tip: Always listen to your servers and the dishes they recommend! They really know what dish is best at each restaurant!

The bread service here is Six-Grain Viking Loaf with Roasted Onion Dip , which was good. And for my appetizer, I got the Jarlsberg Cheese & Rosemary Ham Tart which had good flavor, although did feel like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a little long. However, the dish they are especially known for is Elsa’s Royal Baked Scallops .

The main dish to get here is the Arendelle Kjottkake . These are meatballs with a rosemary sauce and lingonberry chutney that are served on top of egg noodles. It was fantastic, and definitely the best dish at our table!

The Signature Dessert here is The Troll Family Rock Chocolate Bar, which I thought was the best chocolate dessert I had on the cruise.

So overall, this was my favorite restaurant, and I definitely wouldn’t skip dining here!

Special Menu Nights

Often, Disney Cruise Line offers special menu nights on the ship, depending on your itinerary. These are often themed to go along with the entertainment.

However, the Disney Wish only offers special menus on their 4-night sailings, which is a Pirate Night menu. While 3-night sailing also have a Pirate Night, the restaurants don’t join in and instead offer their regular menus.

If you are on a 4-night sailing with a Pirate Night menu, all three rotational dining restaurants will offer the same menu.

The menu is called “Pirates in the Caribbean” so you’ll mostly find Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken and seafood. The bread service is a Johnny Cake (cornbread) with Mango Dip .

My favorite thing to get is usually the slow-roasted option, and on the Wish that’s Chevalle’s Lamb Shank , which is served with green beans (which unfortunately suffered from the same problems as the 1923 green beans did) and a parsnip mash.

For dessert I definitely recommend getting the Rum Soaked Chocolate Cake !

While most 4-night cruises will have a Pirate Night menu, you may also find something different, especially if you are cruising around the holidays. For instance, on Christmas week sailings, you’ll find a Christmas dinner instead of a Pirate Night menu.

Casual Dining on the Disney Wish

Casual Dining on the Wish is where you can go for lunch or dinner or other treats.

Marceline Market

Location: Deck 11 Included in Cruise Price: Yes

Marceline Market is the buffet restaurant on the Disney Wish. It replaces Cabanas, which you’ll find on other earlier Disney Cruise Line ships.

When you go in, note that there are two sides to the restaurant, and both have an identical buffet.

The restaurant is named after Marceline, Missouri, Walt Disney’s childhood hometown. So it has a homey feel with modern twists.

Marceline Market is open for breakfast and lunch , and there will be a huge variety of food to choose from.

Breakfast plate of Mickey Waffles and pancakes overlooking water on aft deck at Marceline Market

At breakfast you’ll find everything from Mickey Waffles to made-to-order omelets to pastries to yogurt parfaits . And at lunch they might have prime rib, seafood, turkey, pasta , and all kinds of other dishes.

One of my favorite things about Marceline Market is specific kids counter they have. There, you’ll find kid favorites like chicken tenders, fries, and mac and cheese . Of course, adults can get food from here too.

Overall, I thought the food at Marceline Market was fine. It was nothing particularly special, but it also wasn’t bad.

Really my only complaint was about breakfast! There were NO Mickey Churro Waffles to be found (which I first discovered on the Disney Magic and are a staple on some of the cruise ships), and they only had the Ham and Cheese Croissants (one of my other favorite items!) one day.

Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods

Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods is where you’ll find meal and snack options out on the pool deck. It’s themed after a county fair and there are several different stations you can choose from:

Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue
Sweet Minnie’s Ice Cream
Donald’s Cantina
Daisy’s Pizza Pies
Goofy’s Grill

Sign for Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods

It’s a great set-up for food, because every member of the family can get something they really love. However, the lines were often very long (ESPECIALLY for the ice cream!).

I also had issue with out it was laid out. I’m not sure why they have it facing the doors to the elevators, because it sometimes created another traffic flow problem (which I discuss in detail in my Wish review ), especially when the restaurants first open and people are lining up.

But overall, the food was good and it’s perfect for grabbing something to eat when you are spending the day out by the pool.

Inside Out: Joyful Sweets

Location: Deck 11 Included in Cruise Price: No

Inside Out: Joyful Sweets is an adorable Inside Out themed candy and sweets shop just outside of Marceline Market.

They service specialty cupcakes and ice cream, but note that everything here is an extra cost!

Disgust at Inside Out Joyful Sweets on the Wish

Wheezie’s Freezies

Location: Deck 12 Included in Cruise Price: No

Wheezie’s Freezies is a smoothie bar located on the pool deck next to the Toy Story Splash Zone. They offer smoothies, snow cones, and other specialty drinks (some in souvenir cups).

This is also a location where your treats will cost you extra money.

Bars & Lounges on the Disney Wish

The Disney Wish really changed it up with how they offer bars and lounges. Instead of having one section of the ship cordoned off for bars (like on the older ships), there are lots of bars and lounges scattered throughout the ship.

Do note that ALL of these will be an extra cost! They are not included in the price of your cruise.

We’re going to go through these from the lowest level of the ship to the top.

Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge

Location: Deck 3 Included in Cruise Price: No

Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge was maybe the most hyped-up of all the Disney Wish restaurants when the ship debuted! And I have to say, I thought the experience lived up to the hype.

This Star Wars themed bar is located on Deck 3 right next to The Bayou. It’s a small bar, and it can sometimes get crowded and require a wait. Sometimes they will also implement reservations. However, we didn’t have any problem going after our show one night.

The coolest thing about this bar is the giant screen behind the bar that makes it look like you are floating in space , occasionally jumping into hyperspace to arrive at a new location. And when you pair that with the natural movements of the ship, plus the way the whole bar rumbles during a hyperspace jump, it really is a fully immersive experience!

The drinks here are also super fun! Disney really made a point to create drinks that are creative and unique, incorporating things like glitter dust and smoke bubbles . All of the drinks we tired tasted great too.

Also this is a space the whole family can enjoy! During the day, kids can experience the Star Wars magic. However, at night it is only for adults.

The Bayou is located on Deck 3 behind the Grand Hall. It’s right in the middle of the two hallways, so you can’t miss it.

This is a Tiana themed space , with a beautiful floral ceiling and fun touches from The Princess and the Frog. And it’s also a place where you’ll often find events, including trivia and live music.

You’ll find a variety of cocktails and drinks here. They also serve beignets. But I’ll be honest: the beignets aren’t good. So don’t waste your money on them.

Nightingale’s

Nightingale’s is the piano bar on the Disney Wish. It’s subtly themed after Cinderella (to match the Grand Hall). They serve a variety of drinks and have live music.

This is also a space that is exclusively for adults .

Every Disney Cruise Line ship has a Preludes, which is the snack bar right outside the Walt Disney theater where you can get popcorn and drinks for during the shows.

There is a Preludes next to both doors to the theater. And you can purchase drinks, cocktails, popcorn, and candy.

Hook’s Barbery

Location: Deck 4 Included in Cruise Price: No

While Hook’s Barbery is meant as a place for haircuts and a shave, there is also a small bar inside. This bar focuses on whiskey and Old Fashioneds . Perfect for the bourbon afficionados!

Wishing Star Cafe

Wishing Star Cafe is located just outside Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and it’s out in the open of the hallway. It’s a small bar where you can get a cocktail or a glass of wine , but they also serve specialty coffees (so you don’t have to go all the way up to Cove Café!).

Luna & Luna Libations

Luna is a lounge that has all kinds of family-friendly entertainment during the day. In the evening though, it becomes an adults-only lounge that serves a variety of cocktails, wines, and beers .

Enchanted Sword Cafe

Location: Deck 5 Included in Cruise Price: No

Enchanted Sword Cafe is just like Wishing Star Cafe, only a deck higher. You’ll find coffees, cocktails, wine , and other drinks here.

Keg & Compass

Keg & Compass is the pub and sports bar on the Disney Wish. So if there’s a sporting event you don’t want to miss during your sailing, you can head here! It’s also themed after seafaring adventures, so it has all kinds of fun decor details to spot.

You’ll find all kinds of beers, cocktails, and wines here as well as a few British pub food items . This is also one of the spots where they do some of the tasting experiences you can sign up for.

Triton Lounge

Triton Lounge is a small lounge that usually hosts events like family games and trivia. They do have a small drinks menu though, including kid-friendly mocktails.

The Lookout is the pool deck bar that offers beer, cocktails, wine, coffee, and juices. It’s located near Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods.

The Rose is such a hidden gem on the Disney Wish! It’s located on Deck 12 right before you arrive at Enchanté or Palo, so it’s where you wait when you arrive for your meals there.

It’s a beautiful bar subtly themed after Beauty and the Beast , and because it’s pretty tucked away from the rest of the ship, it’s usually not very crowded. It also has a full wall of windows looking out onto the water with comfy chairs for great views while you sip your drink!

Location: Deck 13 Included in Cruise Price: No

Cove Cafe is located on Deck 13 in the adults-only area . During the day they serve coffee and tea , while at night they also offer cocktails and wine .

Currents Bar

Locations: Deck 13 and 14 Included in Cruise Price: No

Currents Bar is another bar on the pool deck . There are actually two locations: o ne on the adults-only pool deck, and another overlooking the Toy Story Splash Zone . You’ll find a variety of drinks at each one.

Specialty Dining Options on the Disney Wish

Aside from the standard dining options and the bars & lounges located throughout the Disney Wish, there are also other dining options.

Palo Steakhouse (Adults Only)

Every ship on Disney Cruise Line has a Palo Steakhouse, and it’s a super popular reservation to get. While I haven’t dined at Palo on the Wish, I did dine at Palo on the Disney Magic and thought it was excellent!

Palo on the Wish is subtly themed after Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast. They offer an Italian menu for brunch and dinner.

Brunch is super popular at Palo, and they have an incredible menu of frittatas, waffles, pizzas, entrees, and desserts.

For dinner you can either do a fixed-price meal when you choose from a limited selection of dishes, or an a la carte menu. I will say, the Dover Sole on the a la carte menu when I dined at Palo on the Magic was maybe the best fish I’ve ever had in my life. And Palo is especially known for their chocolate souffle , so don’t miss that!

Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement (Adults Only)

Enchanté is a new concept on the Wish, and it offers French cuisine and is subtly themed after Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.

We had brunch here during our cruise and thought it was a FANTASTIC experience! Like Palo, you can dine at Enchanté for either brunch or dinner.

First, the restaurant is beautiful. While Palo is full of warm woods and and old-world feel, Enchanté is bright and airy with light blue, modern decor.

The menu is also fantastic. We did the fixed-price brunch, and were blown away with the whole experience. It’s a multi-course brunch , and every dish they bring out to you is full of surprises and amazing flavors. My favorite part though may have been the bread they fly in from France . But every dish was so carefully composed and I’m so glad we had the experience of dining here.

Enchante Lemon Foam Brunch Dish in a bowl

Location: Deck 5 (at Arendelle) Included in Cruise Price: No

Olaf’s Royal Picnic may be one of the hardest events for families to book on the Wish! This is a special Frozen character event that takes place on a certain day of your sailing.

This is an exclusive and small event and is meant for families with children ages 3-12 . In fact, you can ONLY go if you are accompanying a child ages 3-12, and only children ages 3-12 get the special souvenirs that come with the event.

At the picnic you’ll meet Frozen characters, see performances, and enjoy small finger foods and tea . Kids will also leave with a bag of souvenirs and activities , that I honestly think almost makes the hefty price tag worth it if you have a big Frozen fan in your house. They’ll get things like a rock troll plush, a mandolin guitar, an activity book, a blanket, and more.

Room Service

Location: Your room! Included in Cruise Price: Yes

Room Service is such an amazing perk of Disney Cruises! These meals and/or snacks are included in the price of your cruise, but you should have a few dollars to tip the server.

You can get breakfast, lunch, or dinner from room service. And it’s the only place on the ship to get Mickey Premium Bars during the day. (Which, I highly recommend ordering a Mickey bar and sitting on your balcony to eat it!)

Embarkation Day Dining Options

When your first get on the ship, you will likely be directed to lunch. (And I highly recommend getting on the ship early enough that you get to go to lunch and then explore the ship before it leaves port!)

For lunch, you can go to either Marceline Market, whatever sit-down restaurant is open for lunch (usually 1923), or get food at Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods .

Debarkation Day Dining Options

Debarkation is the worst part of a Disney Cruise. Besides the fact that it’s a bummer to get off the ship, you also have to get up incredibly early to leave your stateroom (they have to turn it over fast for the next guests!) and go to breakfast.

You will be assigned a breakfast restaurant and time for debarkation day . It will be same restaurant you had dinner at the night before, and you’ll have the same servers you’ve had for dinner. The menu, however, isn’t quite as good as the sit-down menu is for breakfast on the other days because they are trying to move a lot more people through the restaurant a lot more quickly.

The other option is to go to Marceline Market for breakfast. Some people prefer to go to the buffet because it can be less rushed, but the menu is also usually pretty limited on the last morning.
