Disney Wish Staterooms – What You Need To Know

Sharing is caring!

Choosing a stateroom can be overwhelming!

Here is a guide to help you which has all of the different types of staterooms so that you can have an informed view of which is the best for you and your family.

Disney Wish Staterooms

We were told that the theme of the Disney Wish is enchantment and this is certainly reflected in the subtle but magical design of the staterooms. The Disney Wish staterooms have taken as their inspiration the classic Disney fairytales.

Custom artwork, sumptuous bedding, light wood tones, and stunning bathroom design are all combined to make these staterooms both beautiful and relaxing.

How Many Disney Wish Staterooms Are There?

There are very few inside staterooms available – just 10% of the total.

We can also see that Disney has dramatically increased the number of Concierge Staterooms to a total of 76 from the previous ships.

• 1,254 staterooms (includes 53 concierge staterooms and 23 concierge suites)
• 1,133 outside staterooms (90%)
  • 948 verandah staterooms (70%)
  • 185 oceanview staterooms (20%)
• 121 inside staterooms (10%)

Within each of these categories, there are a number of Wheelchair Accessible as well as a larger number of Communication Staterooms.

Disney Wish Standard Inside Staterooms

There are just 121 inside staterooms on the Disney Wish. It seems as though they will still have the Virtual Porthole feature – but that it will be larger than on the Fantasy and the Dream.

The Standard Inside Stateroom will have 169 Square Feet of space. Each stateroom will sleep either 3 or 4 guests.

Unlike the other Disney Cruise ships, the Wish has just one type of Inside Stateroom. The others have Standard and Deluxe.

Disney Wish only has Standard Inside Staterooms – in other words – no split bathroom.

Disney Wish Inside Staterooms are either Category 11A, 11B and 11C.

The Category 11A staterooms are located on Decks 9, 10 and 11. The Category 11B are on Decks 6,7 and 8.

The 11C staterooms will be on Deck 2. These staterooms are particularly convenient for the Oceaneer Club and It’s A Small World Nursery.

A lot of people ask about noise issues because of this. I have stayed on Deck 2 and have never experienced a problem with noise.

Some guests will love them for their convenience. Others will just avoid them!

Disney Wish Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom

There are a total of 185 Oceanview staterooms.

These are highly sought after as they will offer a view to the outside, but will usually be at a lower price point than the verandah staterooms.

Just like the Inside Staterooms, there is only one category of outside stateroom – the Deluxe Oceanview. Each one will offer 213 square feet of space.

They do have the split bathroom.

The Disney Cruise staterooms are known for being larger than the industry standard. They also have such great design they are made to feel even more spacious.

The Outside staterooms will all be classified as Category 9 and each has a letter denoting their place within that Category.

There are only 4 Category 9A staterooms on the Disney Wish. These are 7008, 8008, 7506, and 8506.

There are 60 Category 9B staterooms and these are all located on Deck 2. Some are going to love these because they are so close to the Oceaneers Club and the Nursery. Others will avoid them for exactly the same reason!

There are only 9 Category 9C staterooms. 7006, 7504, 8000, 8002, 8004, 8006, 8500, 8502 and 8504.

There are 7 Category 9D staterooms on Deck 7. These are 6000, 6002, 6004, 6006, 6500, 6502, and 6504. On Deck 7 they are 7000, 7002, 7004, 7500, and 7502.

Each stateroom will have a 43″ television. For those of us who know the other Disney ships well, you can see that the location of the television has changed.

On the Disney Wonder, Magic, Dream, and Fantasy the television is on the corner of the shelving unit.

The staterooms all have that wonderful heavy curtain that can divide the living and sleeping areas.

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

There are 948 Verandah Staterooms on the Disney Wish. Some of these are the Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah.

Each sleeps either 3 or 4 guests and has 243 square feet of space.

There is plenty of storage space in all of the Disney Wish staterooms. You can see from the picture above that there is lots of room under the bed, This is ideal to store large items like suitcases.

As with the other Disney ships, no need to supply your own hairdryer as there will be one in each stateroom. This will be located in one of the drawers you can see above.

What I do like is that the television has been replaced with a lighted mirror in that location. That is great to see a more thoughtfully designed dedicated dressing table area.

I like the way that the chair now doesn’t have a back so can easily be stowed away.

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

These Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with a balcony are one of the most popular choices.

They provide extra space, but most importantly they can sleep up to 5 guests.

They have 284 square feet of space, not including the verandah.

The Category 4A Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah is located on Deck 10 and 11. There are 66 staterooms of this type on Deck 10 and 50 on Deck 11.

Category 4B Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah is located on Deck 8 and 9. There are 64 on Deck 8 and 66 on Deck 9.

Category 4C Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah will have 65 staterooms on Deck 6 and 64 on Deck 7.

The 4E staterooms are 6196, 6696, and 6700. On Deck 9 they are 9182 and 9184. On Deck 10 the 4E are 10168, 10170 and 10668

These are all highly sought after as they have large, aft verandahs.

If you look closely at the picture above you can see the pull-down Murphy bed to the right. This bed is for the 5th person and will be set up in the evening by your Stateroom Attendant.

This is a good design as it makes excellent use of the space during the day. The only disadvantage is that if you want to get out on the verandah before that person gets up in the morning you literally have to climb over them!

Disney Cruise Line Beds

One of the things you really have to experience at least once in a lifetime is sleeping in a Disney Cruise ship bed! They are simply the best.

Most of the Disney Wish stateroom beds are a Queen (apart from in Concierge when you will have a King).

The design of the bedding for the Disney Wish is just beautiful. A wonderfully simple design, but to use a cliche, just magical.

Even the lamp has a subtle Mickey design.

It’s also great to see that there are 2 USB ports and power sockets on each side of the bed.

Now just let’s hope that Disney Wish has upgraded internet and better value internet packages!

Disney Wish Stateroom Bunkbed

Many of the Disney Wish staterooms sleep up to 4 guests. There is a sofa bed in all staterooms so that a third guest can be accommodated.

However, if your stateroom sleeps 4 then it will have an upper bunk bed.

When you arrive in your stateroom you may wonder where it is! Your stateroom host will pull the bunk down from the ceiling each evening when he makes up your room for the night.

One particularly nice feature on the Disney Wish is this Fairy Godmother lighting above the bunk bed. Sure to keep little ones enchanted for a while.

Disney Wish Stateroom Bathrooms

Most of the Disney Wish staterooms will have the usual split bathroom design which was a Disney Cruise first.

This means that there are two rooms. One has the toilet and a sink, the other has a bath with a shower over and an additional sink.

All of the bathrooms on the Disney Wish have a bath. This is great news for everyone, but particularly for those with young children.

The Disney Wish bathrooms are beautifully modern with white subway tile, contemporary fittings, and a fabulous lighted mirror.
