Today was a special day for Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering, as they unveiled during a live event a first look at the incredible spaces and experiences coming to the Disney Wish in 2022! Bookings open up on May 27, 2021!
When the Disney Wish sets sail in summer 2022, guests will be immersed in Disney’s rich legacy of enchanting storytelling. Disney is bringing to life the stories and characters of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars adventures like never before. While we aren’t able to share every ounce of magic they’re putting on this ship, we hope the details shared today will get you excited to cruise on the Disney Wish.
To “Swim”-finity and Beyond
We’re taking fun in the sun to the next level onboard the Disney Wish with a brand-new family water attraction and three themed districts that offer dedicated space for families, children, and adults alike.
Guests will be immersed in “The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse” animated shorts aboard the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, AquaMouse. Complete with show scenes, lighting and special effects, and splashtacular surprises, this wild water ride is sure to delight everyone in the family as they zig, zag, and zoom through 760 feet of winding tubes suspended high above the upper decks.
Families will have more pools, more deck space, and more dining than ever before in an expansive district themed to Mickey and friends. In addition to AquaMouse, the area will feature six pools — spaciously staggered among tiered decks and surrounded by lounge chairs — and a fresh take on quick and casual fare with a festive character twist.
Little ones will delight in an all-new Toy Story-themed district designed especially for families with toddlers and young children. This whimsical water wonderland will include a splash zone, wading pool, family waterslide, and smoothie bar.
Adults will indulge in sun-drenched serenity at Quiet Cove, a peaceful refuge dedicated to lounging, sipping, and soaking. Set away from the bustle of family activities, this secluded adults-only district will feature a luxurious infinity pool, poolside bar, and chic cafe.
