“A dream is a wish your heart makes.”
If your heart wishes for a magical, luxurious vacation with visits to royal kingdoms and intergalactic adventures, the Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship is for you. Booking is open now for the inaugural year of the Disney Wish, 2022. If you have ever contemplated taking a Disney Cruise then this will make for a great first! This ship has magical options for every age and interest.

To Swimfinity and Beyond

Disney Wish is taking fun in the sun to the next level. The cruise will introduce three themed districts to choose from. Each offers dedicated areas for families, children, and adults.
The main pool area will have more pools, more deck space, and more dining than ever before as families enter an expansive district themed to Mickey and his Friends. The highlight of this area will be the first ever attraction at sea, the Aquamouse. The water ride immerses guests in The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse animated shorts with show scenes, lighting, special effects, and splashtacular surprises as you zig, zag, and zoom through 760 feet of winding tubes suspended high above the upper decks.

Those of us with little ones will delight in an all-new Toy Story-themed district designed for families with toddlers and young children. Young kids can enjoy a large tub full of their favorite toys like Woody and Buzz reimagined as larger than life rubber bath toys that move and spray water at kids. 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. Your toddler will love the slides, pop jets, geysers, and bubblers sized just for them.
For any adults who want a quiet space apart from children this next spot is for you. The Quiet Cove is a peaceful refuge dedicated to lounging, sipping, and soaking. Located away from the bustle of family activities, this secluded adults-only section offers a luxurious infinity pool, poolside bar and a chic cafe.
