If you’re a coffee lover heading on the Disney Wish Cruise, you’re in luck!
The Disney Wish offers an abundance of coffee option with six different locations serving specialty coffees.
Whether you’re craving a morning latte, a mid-day pick-me-up, or a cozy spot to relax, this guide will help you find your perfect cup of coffee onboard.
Keep in mind that specialty coffees, like lattes and teas, cost extra and are not included in your cruise fare.
But who can resist not just great tasting coffee, but those cute Disney character designs you can get!
If you’re looking for free coffee, you can find it at the drink station on Deck 11 near Festival or Foods and in Marceline Market, order regular coffee with your meals, or have it delivered via room service.
But for those who love specialty drinks, here’s where to find coffee on the Disney Wish!
1. Cove Cafe
- Location: Deck 13, Adult-Only Section
- Theme: Inspired by Moana, with oceanic and Polynesian Princess details.
Cove Cafe is a staple on all Disney Cruise Line ships, and the Disney Wish version is no exception. Located in the adult-only section on Deck 13, this coffee shop is perfect for those looking to relax and unwind.
The Moana-themed decor sets a serene tone, with small nods to the ocean and the Polynesian Princess herself.
You can enjoy specialty coffees like lattes and cappuccinos all day. This is a great spot for adults to enjoy a peaceful coffee break away from the hustle and bustle of the ship.
Hours do vary but on embarkation day Cove Cafe is usually open from 12 pm to 8 pm. On other days it is open 6.30 am to 8 pm.
2. Wishing Star Cafe
- Location: Deck 4, near the main staircase
Conveniently located on Deck 4, Wishing Star Cafe is an ideal spot for grabbing a quick coffee, but if you wish to stay to enjoy your drink then there is bar and a small amount of lounge seating.
This cafe serves specialty coffees. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to grab a coffee without trekking up to Deck 13, Wishing Star Cafe is a fantastic option.
3. Enchanted Sword Cafe
- Location: Deck 5, directly above Wishing Star Cafe
There really isn’t much difference between this and the Wishing Star Cafe except the location. When I have cruised I think this has usually been the less busy of the two, but there is rarely a wait at either of these places.
You will probably find that you favor one over the other, but there really isn’t much difference.
4. Marceline Market Coffee Station
- Location: Inside Marceline Market on Deck 11
For those who want coffee with a side of breakfast or lunch, head to the coffee station inside Marceline Market on Deck 11.
Open only during Marceline Market hours, this station is situated between the two sides of the dining area and can be easy to miss.
Whether you’re grabbing a latte to complement your meal or just stopping by for a quick caffeine fix, Marceline Market is a convenient choice.
5. The Bayou
- Location: Deck 3, near the Grand Hall
- Theme: The Princess and the Frog-themed lounge
The Bayou is a Princess and the Frog-inspired lounge located on Deck 3, just off the Grand Hall.
During the day this is often the location for trivia and music, so it is usually pretty busy.
In the mornings, this elegant space serves specialty lattes alongside unique treats like beignets, juices, and morning alcoholic beverages such as mimosas and bloody marys.
After noon, The Bayou transitions into a lively bar, but it’s a fantastic place to enjoy a morning coffee before the crowds arrive. The themed decor and delicious beignets make it a must-visit spot for coffee lovers.
It will be open when you embark from noon onwards usually closing at 1 am. On other days the opening hours vary but it usually is open until 1 am.
6. The Lookout
- Location: Deck 11, part of the Festival of Foods lineup
The Lookout is primarily a bar located on Deck 11 as part of the Festival of Foods area. However, it also serves a limited selection of lattes!
While this is a great spot for an afternoon or evening coffee, it’s typically not open in the morning.
If you’re looking for coffee early in the day, one of the other five locations will be a better option. But for a late-day caffeine boost or a specialty coffee alongside other treats, The Lookout is worth checking out.
Additional Coffee Options
If specialty coffees aren’t your priority, there are free options available onboard:
- Drink Stations: Located on Deck 11, these stations offer free regular coffee.
- Meals: Coffee can be ordered with your meals in the ship’s restaurants.
- Room Service: Complimentary coffee can also be delivered directly to your stateroom.

And Don’t Forget
When you buy your first specialty coffee make sure that you ask for a coffee card. Each time you purchase a specialty coffee your barista will stamp the card for you. When you have 5 stamps you will get your sixth one for free!
You have probably seen all those pictures of coffee with Disney characters on social media. Yes, as part of the Disney magic, well a machine does it but that’s not the point, you can have a Disney character on your favorite coffee. You can ask the barista for your favorite, or leave the choice up to them.
With six unique locations serving specialty coffee, the Disney Wish has something for every coffee lover. From the serene Cove Cafe to the lively Bayou, there’s no shortage of places to grab your favorite brew. Whether you’re starting your day with a latte or enjoying a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, you’ll find plenty of options to satisfy your caffeine cravings.
So, explore the ship, try out a few different spots, and enjoy your coffee adventures aboard the Disney Wish!
