Disney Wish is not just another Disney ship.
She’s elegant. Immersive. Beautifully themed. And packed with experiences that feel genuinely new for Disney Cruise Line.
And now we have the exciting news that she is sailing to Europe in 2027.
If you’re getting ready to sail, here are the 10 things that will help you make the most of your time onboard — and fall in love with this ship from the moment you step into the Grand Hall.
1. She Is Stunningly Beautiful
Let’s start here.
Disney Wish is absolutely stunning.
From the fairytale-inspired Grand Hall chandelier to the subtle Beauty and the Beast details in the adult dining area, this ship feels refined and elevated.
It’s less “classic ocean liner” and more “floating Disney castle.”
Take time to slow down and look at the details — the artwork, the themed corridors, the lighting. It’s all beautifully done. Even the elevators are beautiful!

2. Rotational Dining Is Next Level on Wish
Disney’s rotational dining is already one of the best features at sea — but Wish takes it further with three completely immersive restaurants:
Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure
Worlds of Marvel
1923
Arendelle feels like stepping into Elsa’s castle for an engagement celebration.
Worlds of Marvel is interactive and high-energy.
1923 is elegant, calm, and inspired by Walt and Roy Disney.
And your serving team moves with you each night — so by night two, they know exactly how you like your coffee.

3. 1923 Is a Hidden Gem (Don’t Skip Breakfast There)
While Arendelle and Marvel get a lot of attention, 1923 quietly becomes many guests’ favorite.
It’s sophisticated, beautifully decorated with Disney animation history, and offers a peaceful alternative for:
- Sit-down breakfast
- Sit-down lunch
If Marceline Market feels busy, head to 1923 instead.

4. Palo Steakhouse Is Worth Making Time For
If you want one elevated, adults-only evening — Palo Steakhouse delivers.
This version leans more into a true steakhouse experience while keeping the Italian influence Disney fans love.
The ambiance is relaxed but upscale, and the service is exceptional.
Pro tip: Arrive early and enjoy a drink at The Rose Bar first. The floor-to-ceiling windows alone are worth it.

5. The Rainforest Room Is the Best in the Fleet
If relaxation is part of your cruise plan, the Rainforest Room on Wish is the most luxurious Disney has ever created. And now it is on her sister ships Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny too.
It includes:
- Indoor heated stone loungers
- Steam and sauna rooms
- Natural light
- A large outdoor section with hot tubs
tI feels like a true spa retreat at sea — especially lovely on a sea day morning.

6. There Are So Many Coffee Options
Coffee lovers, you’re going to be happy.
There are six specialty coffee locations onboard, including:
Cove Café (adult-only, Moana themed)
Wishing Star Café
Enchanted Sword Café
The Bayou (with beignets!)
Included regular coffee is available too — but if you love a proper latte, Wish has you covered.
And yes — you can get those adorable Disney character designs on top.

7. Room Service Is Included (And You Should Use It)
Room service on Disney is one of the best perks — and most of it is included.
Favorites to order:
- The “All Hands on Deck” cheese plate for sailaway
- Mickey Bars
- Milk and cookies in the evening
- Coffee delivered for sunrise on your balcony
There’s nothing quite like sitting on your verandah with coffee and ocean views.

8. The Pool Deck Is Designed for Families to Spread Out
Wish approaches the pool deck differently.
Instead of two large pools, there are multiple smaller pools and splash areas across Decks 11 and 12 — which actually helps distribute crowds and create different spaces for families.
Highlights:
- Toy Story Splash Zone for little ones
- Funnel Vision visible from multiple areas
- AquaMouse
Ride AquaMouse early on embarkation day or during port days for shorter waits.

9. Staterooms Are Thoughtfully Designed
About 70% of staterooms on Wish have verandahs — and the theming inside every room is beautiful.
Even Inside Staterooms feel well-designed and functional.

10. It’s a Short Cruise — Plan Smartly
Disney Wish currently sails 3 and 4-night itineraries from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Castaway Cay.
Because it’s a shorter cruise:
- Prioritize what matters most to you.
- Book Palo or Rainforest early if interested.
- Don’t overschedule every moment — leave time to explore the ship.
There’s more onboard than you can do in one sailing — which is the perfect excuse to book another.

Disney Wish blends immersive storytelling with elevated design, incredible dining, and world-class service.
If you sail in knowing what to prioritize — and give yourself time to explore — you’ll have an incredible cruise.
And honestly?
Standing in the Grand Hall on embarkation day, looking up at that chandelier, you’ll know you made the right choice.
