The Disney Wish, the fifth ship in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet, introduces a brand-new, distinctly Disney design concept, unlike anything at sea. The motif of enchantment — found at the heart of so many beloved Disney stories — is the architectural and thematic foundation of the ship’s design, weaving imagination, emotion, and adventure into the very fabric of the vessel’s unique personality.

Disney Wish Overview
The itineraries on the Disney Wish feature 3- and 4- night cruises to The Bahamas, with the 3-night sailings departing Port Canaveral on Fridays and the 4-night sailings departing on Mondays.
Head over to Dreams Unlimited Travel to view a list of itineraries and sailing dates.
The spellbinding Grand Hall — a bright, airy, and elegant space that welcomes guests as they first step onboard — is the truest embodiment of the enchantment motif. The heart and hearth of the Disney Wish, this fairytale castle-inspired atrium is touched with Gothic, Baroque, and French Rococo influences that will give life to the columns, carvings, trimmings, and adornments.
The Grand Hall, also referred to as Disney Cruise Line’s castle on the seas, is the enchanted gateway to everything that awaits onboard the Disney Wish: fairytale worlds, heroic challenges, epicurean indulgences, thrilling adventures, galactic encounters, peaceful escapes, and so much more. The Grand Hall is an enchanted realm where glittering trails of pixie dust climb majestic three-story columns, spill across the ceiling, and animate the shimmering chandelier above with an effusive burst of magic. The chandelier is 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, stands the personification of wish fulfillment herself: Cinderella. A pillar of The Walt Disney Company’s legacy, Cinderella’s story is the epitome of magic, transforming wishes into dreams and dreams into reality. The beautiful bronze statue of this beloved princess is just one of many tributes to her story in the Grand Hall’s design – others include railings that glisten with elegant stained glass in her signature colors, rich carpeting embellished with icons from the film, and sophisticated nods to her carriage and glass slipper in the delicate metalwork and light fixtures.
The Grand Hall Stage is the new concept for Disney Cruise Line’s traditional atrium and is located right in the heart of the Disney Wish. Here, guests can gather for fun theatrical surprises throughout the day.

DISNEY WISH STATEROOMS
With an all-new look and feel steeped in enchantment and inspired by dreamy Disney stories, every stateroom on the Disney Wish is a luxurious, peaceful retreat designed with families in mind. Each features beautiful, custom-made artwork depicting beloved Disney fairytales created especially for the Disney Wish.
New for the Disney Wish, Walt Disney Imagineers have imbued every stateroom with the soft, dreamlike worlds and restful imagery of enchanted Disney fairytales through glittering gold-leafed headboard murals and framed pieces commissioned exclusively for the Disney Wish.
In line with the ship’s overall design motif of enchantment, stateroom artwork represents classic and contemporary Disney stories that capture the essence of wish fulfillment, and dreams come true, such as Cinderella (whose maxim “a dream is a wish your heart makes when you’re fast asleep” is particularly fitting).
Beyond the artwork, every detail was designed to tell a story, from pixie-dusted furnishings to delicate linen embroidery inspired by the fleet’s signature golden filigree. This even extends into the corridors, where exquisite decoration serves the greater purpose of wayfinding: Richly themed carpeting, softly colored accent walls, magical lighting, and unique adornments will provide guests with an intuitive yet artful cue to know they’ve arrived at their home away from home.
Every stateroom aboard the Disney Wish was designed with ample room for families, plenty of storage space, and upscale amenities. Most of the ship’s 1,254 staterooms will offer an ocean view — including 877 (70%) with a spacious verandah — and there are 451 connecting doors that adjoin rooms to accommodate larger families. Some connecting staterooms have a partition between verandahs that may be opened to create a bigger, shared balcony.
- Most staterooms (except for the Inside Staterooms) feature Disney Cruise Line’s signature split-bathroom concept, with a sink and shower in one room and a sink and toilet in a separate room. All staterooms include a bathtub – perfect for giving children a bath.
- Enhanced storage options, roomy closets, and elevated bed frames with generous under-bed space provide plenty of places to store suitcases and other bulky items essential to family travel.
- Little ones can delight in a secret starfield hidden above pull-down beds, with original artwork revealing a constellation of Fairy Godmother overhead.
- Other exceptional amenities and highlights include a 43-inch TV, USB and USB-C ports, large vanity, mini drawer refrigerator, full-length mirror, mini-safe, hair dryer, privacy divider, queen and pull-out sofa beds, deluxe toiletries, plush robes, and lavish bed linens and duvets.
The Disney Wish elevates the concierge experience with 76 concierge staterooms and suites – more than double the number available on other Disney ships.
- These rooms accommodate up to five guests and feature spacious living areas, king beds, luxurious finishes, and premium amenities. Most include a generous private verandah, and most were designed with the rich color palette and distinctive iconography of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Tangled.
- One-bedroom concierge suites have a separate living room, walk-in closets, two 43-inch TVs, and two bathrooms (including a master bathroom with a rain shower, bathtub, and double vanity).
- Seven exclusive oceanview rooms are Disney’s first-ever staterooms located above the bridge. These have extended living areas with breathtaking ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bow.
The Disney Wish also debuted four royal suites celebrating the gilded world of Disney Animation’s Sleeping Beauty, with two Princess Aurora Royal Suites and two Briar Rose Royal Suites. Each pair includes a single-floor option and a two-story configuration, the first of its kind for the Disney fleet.
- Royal suites feature extravagant details, upscale furnishings, and first-class amenities, including an extensive living area, an open dining salon, a sizeable pantry, and a private hot tub on the oversized verandah.
- Each suite has two master bedrooms — each with its own opulent bathroom featuring a double vanity and either a rain shower or bathtub — as well as a double sleeper sofa in the living room and a third bathroom with a shower.
- The two-story royal suites boast floor-to-ceiling windows and stunning statement pieces, like an elegant spiral staircase and a spectacular two-deck-high bespoke stained-glass frieze.
For the first time ever, guests who cruise aboard the Disney Wish can book an incredible two-story suite that’s actually located within one of the iconic red funnels. This unique accommodation boasts nearly 2,000 square feet of living space and comfortably sleeps up to eight guests with two main bedrooms, a children’s room, a library that converts to a bedroom, and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The living room is flanked by an open dining area, a large pantry, and a bar, offering extraordinary views across the upper decks to the horizon through an expansive two-story window wall. Head to the DCL Fan YouTube channel to view a walk-through tour of this gorgeous funnel suite.
All concierge guests receive a premium level of dedicated service and access to exclusive areas and amenities throughout their voyage. The Concierge Lounge is more than triple the size of previous Disney ships and offers a full bar, delicious light bites, a special kids’ area, and an outdoor terrace with incredible views. From the lounge, concierge guests have access to a private sun deck with two whirlpools, a wading pool, a bar, lush lounge furniture, and the superlative service of a pool deck host.
DISNEY WISH RESTAURANTS
The Disney Wish continues Disney Cruise Line’s innovative family rotational dining concept, where guests experience one of three imaginative restaurants each night accompanied by a dedicated service team that is assigned to their family throughout the voyage. With exceptional attention to detail, guests can enjoy a variety of dining experiences with friendly, familiar, personalized service every evening.
With the debut of three brand-new family restaurants, the Disney Wish takes guests on an unparalleled culinary journey to an enchanted Frozen kingdom, an Avengers technology showcase, and the golden age of Hollywood.
From theatrical entertainment to cinematic adventure to sophisticated elegance, dinner aboard the Disney Wish is so much more than a meal – it is a chance to interact with favorite Disney stories in exciting new ways that only Disney Cruise Line can cook up.
In addition to elaborately themed, upscale restaurants, the Disney Wish offers a variety of dining options ranging from quick bites, casual dining, and 24-hour room service to specialty treats, gourmet cafes, and premium dining exclusively for adults.
MARCELINE MARKET
Named for Walt Disney’s early childhood hometown in Missouri, Marceline Market is a stylish food hall inspired by popular marketplaces around the world. Here, guests will find an ever-changing menu of specialized offerings in a vibrant, free-flow setting with both indoor and outdoor seating and breathtaking ocean views all around.
Featuring 10 food stalls and a café-style beverage bar in the center, Marceline Market is styled as an old industrial loft converted into a bustling marketplace, but with a distinctly Disney design twist: At this food hall, the local proprietors are Disney characters themselves, as each station is themed to beloved animated films such as Tangled, Ratatouille, Alice in Wonderland, Zootopia, and more.
These storied shopkeepers curate a wide-ranging variety of freshly prepared cuisines for the whole family to enjoy, including American classics, international specialties, comfort foods, seafood, soups and salads, vegetarian, and plant-based fare, baked goods, and desserts.
Marceline Market offers a casual, walk-around dining experience for breakfast and lunch, followed by table-service dining at dinnertime with entrees cooked to order.
MICKEY & FRIENDS FESTIVAL OF FOODS
Located right in the middle of the fun on the upper decks, Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods is the perfect place for families to grab a quick bite for lunch, dinner, or anytime in between. Avid Disney cruisers will be particularly pleased by the mix of fan-favorite treats, like Disney Cruise Line’s signature soft-serve ice cream, with two brand-new selections: The Disney Wish features the fleet’s first dedicated quick-service venues for barbeque and Mexican-inspired fare.
Also offering delectable American classics and other snackable delights, this open-air eatery comprises five uniquely themed food stalls: Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goofy’s Grill, and Sweet Minnie’s Ice Cream.
The whimsical design was inspired by the seaside boardwalk setting featured in popular Mickey Mouse animated shorts, a fitting addition to the Mickey and Friends-themed family district on the upper decks. A sizable, shaded seating area provides convenient and comfortable accommodations for families to relax and enjoy their meals.
ARENDELLE: A FROZEN DINING ADVENTURE
Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure is Disney’s first Frozen-themed theatrical dining experience, bringing the kingdom of Arendelle to life through immersive live entertainment — featuring favorite characters like Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf — and world-class cuisine infused with Nordic influences. Guests in this restaurant are the first to meet Oaken, the host of this adventure!
Extending the Frozen Story
Only on the Disney Wish will families be invited to attend a royal engagement party for Queen Anna and Kristoff, picking up the story where Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen 2 left off. Elsa and Olaf will host the celebration with catering provided by their friend Oaken’s “Hearty Party Planning Service… and Sauna” and live entertainment by “local” musicians specializing in Nordic renditions of familiar Frozen songs.
Throughout the meal, guests can enjoy live musical performances by these beloved characters and even get the opportunity to join the festivities with fun table crafts, hilarious sing-alongs, and a grand finale that’ll have everyone in the audience on their feet.
Theatrical Dining
Designed in the style of a theater-in-the-round, this purpose-built entertainment venue features dining tables situated around a small center stage and all the theatrical bells and whistles needed to bring a story to life in 360-degree glory. Invisible fiber optics embedded in the ceiling conjure Elsa’s icy magic, and panoramic windows magically transform from real-time ocean views to the colorful dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis.
Disney Cruise Line developed brand-new looks for Anna and Kristoff for this venue, plus an all-new way to encounter Olaf through true-to-scale, cutting-edge puppetry that can talk and interact with families as they dine, lending his signature humor and charm to the merriment.
Nordic-Inspired Cuisine
The one-of-a-kind menu for Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure combines traditional flavors and ingredients from the Nordic region with modern, family-friendly fare. Guests can delight in this scrumptious smorgasbord of superior seafood, rustic game dishes, and tasty nods to the Frozen story. And, last but not least, dessert! It wouldn’t be Queen Anna’s party without plenty of chocolate.
WORLDS OF MARVEL
Worlds of Marvel is the first-ever Marvel cinematic dining adventure, where guests can play an interactive role in an action-packed Avengers mission that unfolds around them, complete with a worldly menu inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This upscale-restaurant-meets-technology-showcase ups the ante on the traditional “dinner and a show” concept. Outfitted with state-of-the-art Pym Tech and decked out in signature Stark-itecture style, the venue offers surprises in all shapes and sizes, from the tiniest design “Easter eggs,” to the larger-than-life story that takes place around you.
Cinematic Dining
True to its name, Worlds of Marvel takes families on a flavorful tour of the real and fictional settings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with dishes inspired by legendary locales like African Wakanda, Eastern European Sokovia, and the Avengers’ home base of New York City.
Worlds of Marvel features an original storyline starring fan-favorite Avengers and an infamous foe. Actual stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe lent their talents to this first-of-its-kind adventure. In the restaurant, diners become part of a real Avengers mission as they observe some of their favorite heroes in action: Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as The Wasp, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, and Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. Iman Vellani, the Actress who stars as Ms. Marvel, joins the interactive dinner show, too. Kerry Condon reprised her role as the voice of F.R.I.D.A.Y., and actor Ross Marquand lent his villainous vocal skills to Ultron.
Quantum Core Technology
Every table at Worlds of Marvel features an interactive Quantum Core, a brand-new device that can cause objects to shrink and grow remotely. Guests assist Ant-Man and The Wasp as they attempt some small-scale trials, perhaps shrinking oversized luggage for easy stateroom storage.
When enough of the Quantum Cores are activated simultaneously throughout the dining room, the entire venue becomes supercharged as energy pulses through the power channels in the walls and ceiling. Outfitted with state-of-the-art Pym Tech and decked out in signature Stark-itecture style, the Worlds of Marvel restaurant offers surprises in all shapes and sizes, from a distinctly Marvel hexagonal motif to the various “Easter eggs” and unknown details embedded in the show.
1923
Named for the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, 1923 is an elegant celebration of the company’s legacy, paying homage to the golden age of animation and offering a tasteful tribute to its Californian heritage.
Combining classic Hollywood glamour with a dash of Disney whimsy, 1923 features two lavishly appointed dining rooms aptly named for the men behind the magic of the original film studio – Walt and Roy Disney. Each side of the restaurant is adorned with more than 1,000 drawings, props, and other tools of the trade, providing an inside look at the evolution of Disney animation from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen 2.
At 1923, guests can enjoy sophisticated dishes designed with families in mind and inspired by the fusion of cultural flavors found throughout the Golden State. The diverse menu mirrors the region’s unique blend of Asian, European, and South American cuisines and features local ingredients like fresh produce, wild honey, and earthy pistachios. All paired, of course, with a superlative selection of world-famous Napa Valley wines.
Exquisite Specialty Dining
Aboard the Disney Wish, guests can savor gourmet meals and exceptional beverages at Palo Steakhouse, Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement, and The Rose, an upscale suite of epicurean excellence exclusively for adults, inspired by the elegant icons of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Beauty and the Beast.
PALO STEAKHOUSE
Palo Steakhouse is an evolution of the Palo restaurant that Disney cruisers know and love, now combining the relaxed sophistication of authentic Italian dining with the classic refinement of a modern steakhouse in a genteel setting inspired by Cogsworth, the tale’s majordomo-turned-enchanted-clock.
An elegant, welcoming environment with spectacular ocean views off the back of the ship, the venue was designed with a warm, luxurious palette of rich woods and shining metals, along with artwork and details that evoke ornate clocks, pendulums, and gears. A private dining room is also available for more intimate gatherings of up to 12 guests.
At Palo Steakhouse, guests can choose from a selection of exquisite Italian dishes and the world’s best steaks, from the most elite American prime cuts to melt-in-your-mouth Australian wagyu to succulent Japanese Kobe and Miyazaki beef. The show-stopping menu is paired with the finest Italian wines and bold craft beers – and for dessert, a fan-favorite indulgence: signature Palo chocolate souffle, prepared fresh-to-order and served piping hot with luscious vanilla bean and chocolate sauces.
ENCHANTÉ
Enchanté offers the most luxurious dining experience onboard, featuring a gourmet menu crafted by three-Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement — of L’Assiette Champenoise, near Reims, France — one of the culinary masterminds behind the French-inspired fine dining experience at Remy aboard the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
This romantic and intimate venue evokes the dazzling candlelight and lavish hospitality of the film’s candelabra maitre d’, Lumiere, with shimmering light fixtures and illuminations that give life to the two intimate dining areas and private 10-seat dining room. With an elegant infusion of soft blues and metallic embellishments, stunning ocean views complete the enchanting atmosphere.
The menu features superior products and seasonal ingredients sourced from around the world to create an exceptional ensemble of international dishes masterfully developed with the passion, philosophy, and expertise of Chef Lallement.

This richly themed, immersive experience is reserved for adults every evening, offering interactive tasting experiences and signature beverages inspired by the films.
The venue’s sleek interior design and metallic detailing were inspired by lavish star cruisers similar to Dryden Vos’ ship in Solo: A Star Wars Story. While guests sip their galactic concoctions, this space-faring voyage transports them to iconic locations from the eras of the Republic, Empire, and First Order, employing hyperspace jumps to travel from planet to planet while sensational scenes unfold just beyond the ship’s panoramic viewport at each stop.
Ranging from serene vistas to action-packed encounters, the spectacles that are seen through this virtual “window” into the galaxy feature famous spaceships from the films and fan-favorite locales like Batuu, Tatooine, Mustafar, and Coruscant.

DISNEY’S ALADDIN – A MUSICAL SPECTACULAR
As part of its line-up of theatrical productions, the Disney Wish features a reimagined adaptation of Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular, a guest-favorite show from across the fleet. This fast-paced musical comedy is based on the classic Disney Animation tale of “street rat” Aladdin meeting the wise-cracking Genie, battling the evil Jafar, and falling in love with Princess Jasmine.
Iconic scenes and songs from the movie will be re-created on stage, including a lively, Las Vegas-style rendition of Friend Like Me and a breathtaking performance of A Whole New World atop a flying magic carpet.

DISNEY SEAS THE ADVENTURE
On their first night aboard this enchanted ship, Disney Wish guests will embark on a musical voyage into some of their favorite stories during an original musical spectacular, Disney Seas the Adventure. When Captain Minnie hands over the helm to her dear friend Goofy, he’ll set sail into uncharted waters on a journey to discover his own inner captain.
Along the way, Goofy encounters a bevy of bold, brave, and brilliant Disney and Pixar friends who encourage him to lead with his heart through rousing renditions of iconic Disney songs.
- Through a lively performance of Almost There from Disney Animation’s The Princess and the Frog, Tiana teaches Goofy the power of hard work to make a dream come true.
- Goofy navigates to the big ocean blue where Crush and Squirt — the tubular turtles from Pixar’s Finding Nemo — show him how to Go with the Flow in a high-energy production of the song fans will recognize from Finding Nemo – The Musical at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
- In an original arrangement exclusive to this show, heroines Elsa, Moana and Merida will perform a powerful medley of Let it Go, How Far I’ll Go and Touch the Sky, emboldening Goofy to go into the unknown.
- When Goofy loses his way and self-doubt takes hold once again, he’ll gain the courage to “Go the Distance” with the help of Hercules and a host of heroes from a variety of Disney films.
The adventure culminates in a cavalcade of characters joining Captain Minnie and Goofy on stage during a grand farewell before leading guests out of the theater and into the Grand Hall for an unforgettable sendoff experience – the ultimate “kiss goodnight” to close guests’ first day onboard.
DISNEY THE LITTLE MERMAID
Disney The Little Mermaid is an original Broadway-style stage adaptation of the renowned 1989 Disney Animation film developed exclusively for the Disney Wish.

In this modern-day retelling, the curtain rises on an enchanted treasure chest when it is discovered by a group of storytellers led by a special young woman who has the power to unlock its magic.

At 84 and 86 seats, respectively, the Wonderland and Never Land cinemas offer guests more options than ever before to watch classic and first-run films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and more.
- Wonderland Cinema is inspired by the fantastical world of Alice in Wonderland, with nods to the otherworldly creatures and distinctive characters who inhabit the ever-curiouser Tulgey Wood. The woodland motif continues into the ceiling to create the feeling that guests are peering up through the enchanted tree canopy above.
- Never Land Cinema is inspired by Peter Pan’s flight from London to Never Land, sweeping guests up in their own flight of fantasy, past the second star to the right and straight into the magical world of movies. As guests revisit iconic scenes such as Skull Rock and Mermaid Lagoon, the venue’s night-sky color palette lights up with the flutter of Tinker Bell’s wings.

Decorated with black-and-white sketches of Disney and Pixar characters, the hub features a stage and its own slate of special shows, activities, and character appearances.
This club aboard the Disney Wish features more themed spaces than ever, each filled with endless entertainment – from storytelling, arts and crafts, and dress-up to toys, games, and watching Disney movies.

This first-of-its-kind immersive experience places kids in the important role of creature handlers as they learn to manage a mischievous menagerie of exotic beings from across the galaxy, including a porg, Loth-cat, worrt, and more. Throughout the cruise, they’ll use augmented reality-enabled datapads to track and study the creatures on a series of special assignments. But there’s more to this job than meets the dianoga eye: The new crew will actually be joining an important mission to deliver a pair of secret stowaways, Rey and Chewbacca, back to the Resistance.
During the interactive “Star Wars: Creature Challenge” experience, the newly minted caretakers are put to the test as they help feed the lifelike creatures and encounter some of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. When things go awry, they’ll need to call on the expertise of Rey and Chewbacca — and even channel the Force — to secure the ship from destruction.
MICKEY AND MINNIE’S CAPTAIN’S DECK

This brand-new space is filled with an array of maritime-themed physical and sensory-style games and activities, such as pipe slides and crawl-throughs, ship’s wheels, “busy boxes” fashioned as ship controls, and cushy life preserver seating areas.
When little cadets enter the space, they’ll set sail on a fun-filled adventure and enjoy quality playtime with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse themselves. At select times throughout the voyage, the space will be open to little ones’ families for group play, and the toddlers from It’s a Small World Nursery will also get dedicated access to the club to explore, learn, and play with Mickey and Minnie.
The signature experience is “Minnie’s Captain Academy,” a high-energy training session for kids to exercise their bodies (through playful games, dancing, and maritime “drills”) and their minds, testing their imagination and ingenuity during a series of challenges tied to STEAM principles (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics). Captain Minnie will inspect their progress and officially declare them honorary captains!
MARVEL SUPER HERO ACADEMY
Marvel Super Hero Academy is a high-tech Avengers headquarters where young “recruits” will train to be the next generation of superheroes with the help of their own real-life heroes, like Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, and the Wasp.
Kids begin by choosing a superhero suit from a selection of power sets based on Marvel heroes like Iron Man and Captain Marvel and watching their choices become nanotech forms around mannequins in real-time. Then it will be time for “Avengers: Mission Training,” a gesture-based technology game where they put their new suits and skills to the test as they virtually battle bad guys.
FAIRYTALE HALL
Fairytale Hall is a royal trio of activity rooms where kids can join some of their favorite Disney Princesses and Frozen Queens as they let their creativity shine at Rapunzel’s Art Studio, read and act out stories at Belle’s Library, and test newfound icy powers at Anna and Elsa’s Sommerhus.
- Inspired by her love of expression, Rapunzel’s Art Studio is a creative escape where kids can have the best day ever making their own arts and crafts projects, like floating lanterns and paintings.
- Belle’s Library is a cozy corner for reading and acting out stories with the help of Disney characters. An enchanted painting above the fireplace magically transforms to bring the tales to life.
- Anna and Elsa are never far from snow, even in their summer cabin – Sommerhus. Here, kids can unlock icy powers during “Frozen Fun,” a series of gesture-based games hosted by Olaf, which include snowball fights with friendly trolls and a hunt for mischievous Snowgies – the tiny, playful snowmen created by Elsa in the animated short Frozen Fever.
WALT DISNEY IMAGINEERING LAB
Walt Disney Imagineering Lab is a first-of-its-kind opportunity for kids to discover the secrets of world-renowned Disney Imagineers — the creative masterminds behind Disney theme parks, resorts, and cruise ships — with hands-on activities and inventive experiments. Sorcerer Mickey, the ambassador of Walt Disney Imagineering, may even stop by to lend a wand to the newly minted magic makers.
One of the most exciting things Imagineers get to do is design roller coasters. At the Ride Studio, kids can create a coaster like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, or Matterhorn Bobsleds – and then climb into a capsule where they will virtually ride their imaginative masterpiece.
“it’s a small world” NURSERY
For the littlest cruisers ages six months to 3 years, “it’s a small world” Nursery offers babysitting services in a whimsical environment inspired by the beloved Disney attraction of the same name. Here, little ones can play games, make crafts, watch movies, read books, and even spend time with special Disney friends under the expert care of Disney-trained counselors.
In the nursery, toddlers take a playful trip around the world in the company of Disney, Pixar, and Marvel characters reimagined as “it’s a small world” dolls. Each section of the space is themed to different areas of the world, with characters grouped by their homelands.
In the playroom, magical murals feature interactive hand cranks that trigger delightful effects. Little ones can spark a cascade of ice magic from Elsa’s hand, send Aladdin and Jasmine swaying on the magic carpet, uncover Flynn Rider as he clings to Rapunzel’s enchanted tresses, and more. A toy train chugs along the ceiling, filling the space with colorful lights, playful sounds, and kinetic energy.
EDGE AND VIBE
Older kids ages 11 to 17 can chill and play in their own way aboard the Disney Wish, with trendy hangouts and counselor-led programming designed to engage the unique interests of tweens and teens. Featuring all-new looks that combine sophisticated design with youthful Disney touches, these clubs offer customized fun and, for extra cool points, secret entryways accessible only to the VIPs.
- EDGE – At Edge, tweens ages 11 to 14 can have fun, make friends, and play games in a bright, colorful hangout inspired by a chic New York City loft. A faux-grass picnic area and graphic art displays called “photo walls” provide ample opportunities for tweens to capture cool, shareable vacation pics that will be the envy of their friends back home.
Located on deck 5, the exclusive entrance to Edge is hidden behind a framed piece of art that reimagines world-famous paintings in a pop art-inspired compilation of Disney characters, including Minnie as the ‘Girl with the Pearl Earring’ and Donald as Salvador Dali. - VIBE – At Vibe, teens ages 14 to 17 can meet new friends, watch movies, play games, and participate in entertaining activities created just for them. Inspired by a Parisian artist’s loft, this stylish space features classic architectural elements with an electric retro twist, vibrant neon signs and funky pop art. Combine those with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean, and every angle in Vibe will offer a selfie-worthy backdrop for the trendiest teens on the high seas.
THE HIDEAWAY
For the first time on a Disney ship, the Disney Wish features a third retreat for tweens and teens: The Hideaway. This hip, new hangout offers older kids and young adults another place to relax, sip a smoothie, listen to music, and more in a posh setting, complete with a dance floor and DJ booth – perfect for karaoke contests and dance competitions.
The Hideaway is adorned with a vibrant color palette, retro-inspired design details, a stylized “Hiya, pal” mural, and disco ball lights. Adjacent to Vibe, this flexible venue can be opened to the teen club, closed off for tween activities, and even reserved, especially for guests ages 18 to 20.
DISNEY WISH RECREATION
Disney Cruise Line takes fun in the sun to the next level on the Disney Wish with the debut of AquaMouse, a brand-new family water attraction that brings to life the adventures of The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse animated shorts like never before. Additionally, three uniquely themed districts offer fun water features, quick and casual dining options, and dedicated space for families, children, and adults to relax and soak up the sun.
AQUAMOUSE – THE FIRST DISNEY ATTRACTION AT SEA
Families are immersed in The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse animated shorts aboard AquaMouse, the first-ever Disney attraction at sea. Complete with show scenes, lighting and special effects, and splashtacular surprises; this first-of-its-kind water ride sends guests on a fun family adventure through 760 feet of winding tubes suspended high above the upper decks.
As the story goes, Mickey and Minnie are starting their very own seaside excursion company — aptly named Port Misadventures — onboard the Disney Wish and adventuresome cruisers can join them on an undersea excursion to Mermaid Lagoon that will inevitably (and hilariously) go awry.
The journey begins when guests board their two-seater ride vehicles and ascend into a magical tunnel that teleports them into the cartoon world of Scuba Scramble, a new animated short that plays out through oversized virtual portholes. Along the way, they’ll encounter curious sea creatures, familiar Disney friends, and more than 60 water effects that bring the subaquatic hijinks to life – all perfectly synched to an original musical score by Emmy-nominated composer Christopher Willis (The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse).
At the height of the show, guests blast out of the tunnel and embark on a wild water ride around the upper decks. First, they’ll zip into the forward funnel through an enclosed tube surrounded by dazzling lighting effects, followed by a quick dash through a dark tunnel that opens up to reveal breathtaking ocean views.
They’ll then jet up and down a series of speed blasters as they are propelled toward the grand finale: a soaring loop over the ship’s edge, with clear views down to the deep blue sea. With that, they’ll splash down for a sendoff message from Mickey and Minnie – another successful tour in the books!
Fun in the Sun for the Whole Family
In addition to AquaMouse, families have more pools, more deck space, and more dining than ever before in an expansive pool district themed to Mickey and friends.
Located on decks 11 and 12 midship, this area includes six pools of various sizes and depths, spaciously staggered among tiered decks and surrounded by lounge chairs to provide families with space to stretch out and soak up the sunshine. During the day, guests can enjoy poolside entertainment on Funnel Vision, a jumbo LED display that screens Disney movies, TV shows, live sporting events, and more. Another family pool is available on deck 14 forward for guests seeking a more laid-back environment.
TOY STORY SPLASH ZONE
Little ones can go to “swim”-finity and beyond in a new Toy Story-themed waterplay district designed especially for families with toddlers and young children.
Children can have a tub-full of fun in the Toy Story Splash Zone, a fantastical water playground where Woody, Buzz, and friends have been adorably reimagined as larger-than-life rubber bath toys that move and spray water at kids’ whim. Inspired by the Disney and Pixar short “Partysaurus Rex,” this bathtub-themed splash zone combines the Old West of Woody’s Roundup with the intergalactic world of Buzz Lightyear, featuring two toddler-sized slides and pop jets, geysers, and bubblers galore.
To complete the splish-splashing antics, everyone in the family can enjoy a trip down Slide-a-saurus Rex – a double-looping waterslide that sends guests plunging “down the drain” with the rest of the toys when the metaphorical bathtub overflows.
Other features of this playful pool district will include Trixie’s Falls — a six-inch-deep wading pool with a small fountain and waterfall — and Wheezy’s Freezies, a smoothie bar serving up refreshing fruit blends for the perfect cool-down treat.
Sun-Drenched Serenity for Adults
At Quiet Cove, guests ages 18 and older will find a secluded adults-only district dedicated to lounging, sipping, and soaking. Set away from the bustle of family activities, this relaxing refuge at the back of the ship offers breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean from a luxurious infinity pool.
While kids hang out with Disney characters in the coolest kids’ clubs at sea, parents can enjoy some much-needed “me time” by escaping to Quiet Cove. Here, they can take a dip in the pool, unwind in a whirlpool spa, relax in a chaise lounge, and indulge in a cool beverage from Cove Bar – an open-air watering hole offering beer, wine, and cocktails.
A Disney Cruise Line guest favorite, Cove Cafe is a chic poolside lounge offering gourmet coffees, teas, specialty drinks, and treats throughout the day. This sophisticated yet casual spot for the Disney Wish received a fresh new look that reflects the Oceania-inspired artistry of Disney’s Moana.
Enchantment is the special ingredient that brings the worlds of Disney films to such a rich and vibrant life. Translating this concept into a design theme provides an unparalleled platform to infuse Disney storytelling into the cruise experience, giving the Disney Wish a completely new look and feel.
SENSES SPA AND SENSES FITNESS
Senses Spa is a tranquil oasis offering indulgent spa and beauty treatments, drawing on the serenity of natural elements to promote pampering and relaxation. The spa features private treatment rooms, lavish spa villas for couples, and steam and aromatherapy rooms designed to help guests decompress, rejuvenate and recharge both body and mind. In addition to a menu of massage, facial, and acupuncture therapies, guests can select from a menu of specialized treatments that are customized to their needs, such as pain management and sleep improvement.
The reimagined Senses Fitness offers state-of-the-art exercise and wellness facilities, including a main room with exercise equipment, weightlifting machines, free weights, a dedicated cycle studio, and an aerobics room. Complimentary, instructor-led fitness classes will be offered throughout the cruise.
The Disney Wish offers several brand-new spa and salon experiences, which can be found in the DCL app.
HOOK’S BARBERY
Get a shave fit for a captain at Hook’s Barbery, an upscale salon inspired by Captain Hook’s private quarters aboard the Jolly Roger, as depicted in Walt Disney’s animated classic Peter Pan. In addition to hair styling, nail, and skincare, adults 21 and older can enjoy a hidden bar featuring the finest whiskies, bourbon, and rum for tasting during treatments and at special events.
BIBBIDI BOBBIDI BOUTIQUE
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a pixie-dusted salon that provides magical makeovers for children ages 3 to 12, complete with hairstyling, makeup, costumes, and accessories.
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique was designed with a storybook setting and features beautiful wood detailing chandeliers with candle lights and design elements inspired by Cinderella. There is also a mural featuring a majestic wooded landscape and Cinderella Castle sparkling in the distance.
In addition to the guest-favorite princess, pirate, and knight transformations, additional looks are also available.
UNTANGLED SALON
Let your hair down at Untangled Salon, a high-end salon inspired by Rapunzel — the Disney Princess who adorns the stern of the Disney Wish. This salon offers a variety of fabulous treatments, including hairstyling. Occupying a light, airy space, it is decorated with the colors of Rapunzel’s memorable purple dress and filled with floating lantern lighting and other Tangled-inspired decorations.
DISNEY WISH SHOPPING

Signature treats include candy-filled chocolate “Memory Orbs” and colorful cupcakes that pay tribute to the film’s emotional characters—Joy (lemon), Sadness (blueberry), Disgust (pistachio), Anger (red velvet) and Fear (bubble gum). Other specialties include macarons, cake pops, handcrafted truffles, designer cookies, chocolatey brownies, and assorted candies.
MICKEY’S MAINSAIL
Returning Disney cruisers will find the familiar Mickey’s Mainsail in a new location aboard the Disney Wish – on deck 5.

DISNEY WISH SHIP DETAILS
A hallmark of Disney Cruise Line is the adornment of two character art pieces on the hull of each ship. For the Disney Wish, elegant filigree artwork on the bow — an intricate scrollwork pattern reminiscent of the classic ocean liners of the 1930s — features Captain Minnie Mouse for the first time, solidifying her pioneering place at the forefront of the fleet’s future.
The stern of the Disney Wish boasts a custom sculpture of the optimistic and adventurous Rapunzel from Disney’s Tangled. Suspended by her golden tresses, this artistic Disney Princess appears to be “decorating” the ship’s exterior with her trusty paintbrush and the help of her chameleon pal, Pascal.
To take it one step further into enchantment, Imagineers have added a whimsical curvature to the deck edge along both sides of the Disney Wish, creating a sense of magic and visual movement both inside and out.
This new ship is powered by liquefied natural gas and, at approximately 144,000 gross tons and 1,250 guest staterooms, is just slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
