What is special about the Disney Wish? ›

Awash in "immersive" show scenes, music, lighting and special effects, this fun-filled water experience invites Disney fans to glide up, down, around and off the side of the ship through 760 feet of twisting tubes—providing breathtaking views of the ocean—before splashing down into a lazy river.

"Wish" is about an idealistic young woman named Asha who wishes on a star to save her people which puts her at odds with King Magnifico, who typically grants people's wishes in their kingdom.

What is the Best Level to Stay on a Disney Cruise? No matter if it's the best deck on Disney Wish, or any other deck on a ship in the DCL fleet, the best deck to stay on is two decks below any of the restaurants. This is typically decks 8 and 9 on most of the ships.

For example, the following sailings on the Disney Fantasy in 2024 for an Inside Room starting at: 7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise – $1681 per person (Sailing in October) 7-Night Lighthouse Point Cruise – $3,389 per person (Sailing in June)

Wish is cute and fun to watch, especially once you realize that it's a hat tip to all of the Disney Animation movies that have come before it.

While the theatre is capable of hosting movie viewings and onboard acts like comedians and musicians, it will primarily be used to feature three stage shows: Disney Seas the Adventure, Disney The Little Mermaid, and Disney's Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular.

Asha, the new Disney princess, is of Afro-Iberian ethnicity. She's a groundbreaking character as she's Disney's first Afro-Iberian heroine to headline a feature film. Her story and character design add a fresh and diverse perspective to the Disney princess lineup, making her a unique and exciting addition.

Critics feel Wish falls short in creating layered characters and fresh storytelling, relying too heavily on old Disney tropes. The film's blend of 2D and 3D animation draws mixed reactions, with some praising its beauty and others comparing it to '90s sequels.

Deadline attributed the film's underperformance to its trailer, which it stated does not make the plot of the film clear, and its premise, which it considered a “plug-and-play princess movie” with the “silly sidekicks (a talking goat and puffy star)” that is derivative of other Disney animated films.

In my opinion, the best position on the ship for a Disney Wish Stateroom with Verandah is where there is the least amount of movement and that would be midship lower levels such as Deck 6 and Deck 7.

Is Disney Wish expensive? ›

If you're not in the mood to spend quite so much money, inside staterooms without any windows start around $1,793 for a three-day cruise for two. There are also ocean-view staterooms starting at $1,967, verandah staterooms priced from $2,153 and concierge staterooms priced from $3,713.

If you're looking to surf the web, explore ports with Disney Port Adventures, pamper yourself with spa or salon services, play Bingo, enjoy alcoholic beverages, sip on specialty coffee from Cove Café, or dine at the adult-exclusive restaurants Palo Steakhouse and Enchante, these optional enhancements do cost extra.

Disney cruises are well known as an expensive option, but tacking on high-end touches such as a concierge room and spa visits will really drive up the price. The cheapest cruises you'll find tend to sail from San Diego, and they're the shortest trips as well.

Two guests on a four-night sailing would pay $116 in gratuities. On a five-night sailing they'd pay $145, and so on. With a $3,000 budget, minus likely somewhere in the $1,200-1,300 zone for travel and tips, that leaves about $1,700-1,800 for most parties of two guests to spend on their actual cruise.

**NOTE** Teenagers will be Charged adult fares (13-17). Child rates apply to ages 3-12. Children ages 0-2 pay 50% of the child rate. This does not impact access to areas of the ship that are designated as “18 and over” (like the spa, adults-only pool, and the adults-only restaurants (Palo and Remy).

It's a good, clean, wholesome, and emotional family film that kids and everyone will enjoy, with meaningful and important messages about being honest with your dreams and never giving up on what you truly wish to become and more! Definitely check it out this holiday season!
