It is time for Disney to unlock the newest episode of magic they have been unfolding for the past 100 years. Let’s talk about the new ship setting sail in 2022, the Disney Wish. In 2019, Bob Chapek revealed the name of the newest Disney Cruise Line vessel, Disney Wish. Over the past couple of years, we have been getting clues and clues leading up to the maiden voyage. On April 29, 2021, the Disney Parks YouTube channel did a video on all the new specialties that are being offered on the Disney Wish. (I have added the video from their YouTube at the bottom of the page.) Just like in the previous blog where I talked about my first Disney Cruise, I will talk about entertainment, food, and shopping. This time I will talk about food and entertainment that have been already released.
Food & Beverages
Onboard the Disney Wish there are going to be many different areas for food that feature so many different experiences. But let’s start by talking about the family experiences. On every Disney ship, there is rotational dining that features the three family restaurants. On the ship, there are Worlds of Marvel, Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Experience, and 1923. The first two are self-explanatory, and 1923 features a story. 1923 is a restaurant experience that features sketches and drawings. The name of the restaurant is based on the year that Walt Disney Studios was founded. I think that is a great way to symbolize the beginning of the brand Disney.
There are also experiences for adults with bars and exclusive dining. The bars feature Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, The Rose, and Keg & Compass. I am excited about Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge. You will be transported to a starship that has views of Tatooine, Batuu, and many more.
The stuff that has a small release is the list of quick-service locations on the ship. Marceline Market is going to be the Disney Wish version of Cabanas on the other ships in the fleet. With food stalls themed to different characters and a beverage cart in the center, this is going to be one of the places you want to visit before you start your day. The other quick-service areas will be in the center of the upper decks. Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods will be in the center of the upper deck and features classic foods on the Disney ships, and will have two new options: Barbeque and Mexican cuisine. No matter what you have many forms of food to try, and it is all in the cover of your cost.
This is a lot of food to try, but you also can let your tastebuds be affected by a new cuisine.
Entertainment
How does one have fun on the new ship? Well, there are many areas for both children and big kids (adults) to enjoy. The children will have their areas to enjoy based on their age ranges. For the teenagers, they got their own space with Vibe, an exclusive teen hangout that has been reimagined. The tweens have their place known as Edge. And the little ones have a chance to hang out in the Oceaneer Club, an area with many different options.
Besides the kid’s hangouts, your family will be able to get together at the Walt Disney Theater. One of my favorite things about Disney Cruise Line is their look at taking Broadway shows to the sea. There are a couple of shows in the Theater with Aladdin being the first announced, and then recently 2 new stage shows were announced. The first is The Little Mermaid, and the second is a nautical show for the ship Seas the Adventure.
Let’s say you also want to watch a film on board. You have the chance to see shows that are designed in theme to both Alice In Wonderland and Peter Pan.
Finally, there is a pirate night involved on your journey that is hosted by a descendant of Red, the famous pirate of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World and Disneyland. There is so much more entertainment to list that I cannot list them all here!
There is already so much information out about the Disney Wish, with so much more that is going to be said later. I am in love with all the entertainment value that has been released already especially with the release of Broadway-style shows and the amazing food options. The Wish will have its maiden voyage on June 9th, 2022.
