Imaginative Worlds, Real-Life Adventures: New Experiences for Kids Coming to the Disney Wish

If you’ve been following along as we unveil the Disney Wish, then you already know that the newest Disney Cruise Line ship will feature a totally reimagined Disney’s Oceaneer Club, where kids ages 3 to 12 will experience the worlds of Marvel Super Heroes, Disney Princesses, “Frozen” friends and Disney Imagineers in brand-new ways.

Today, I’m excited to share that there’s even more fun awaiting kids in this real-life wonderland… We just announced two more magical experiences debuting in Disney’s Oceaneer Club aboard the Disney Wish next summer: Star Wars: Cargo Bay and Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck!

Check out the “Designing the Disney Wish” video above for a sneak peek at the imaginative kids’ spaces coming to this ship, then continue reading to learn more about new entertainment and character experiences throughout Disney’s Oceaneer Club.

New Adventures at Star Wars: Cargo Bay

The peculiar creatures and legendary characters of the Star Wars galaxy will take center stage at Star Wars: Cargo Bay. This first-of-its-kind immersive experience will place kids in the important role of creature handlers as they learn to manage a mischievous menagerie of exotic beings from across the galaxy, including a porg, Loth-cat, worrt and more.

Throughout the cruise, they’ll use augmented reality-enabled datapads to track and study the creatures on a series of special assignments. But there’s more to this job than meets the dianoga eye: The new crew will actually be joining an important mission to deliver a pair of secret stowaways, Rey and Chewbacca, back to the Resistance.

During the interactive “Star Wars: Creature Challenge” experience, the newly minted caretakers will be put to the test as they help feed the lifelike creatures and encounter some of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. When things go awry, they’ll need to call on the expertise of Rey and Chewbacca — and even channel the Force — to secure the ship from destruction.

Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse Aboard Disney Cruise Line

A Celebration of Exploration at Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck

Specially designed for the youngest sailors at Disney’s Oceaneer Club, Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck is a nautical playground inspired by the colors, icons and magic of Disney Cruise Line. This brand-new space will be filled with an array of maritime-themed physical and sensory-style games and activities, such as pipe slides and crawl-throughs, ship’s wheels, “busy boxes” fashioned as ship controls and cushy life preserver seating areas.

When little cadets enter the space, they’ll set sail on a fun-filled adventure and enjoy quality play time with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse themselves. At select times throughout the voyage, the space will be open to little ones’ families for group play, and the toddlers from It’s a Small World Nursery will also get dedicated access to the club to explore, learn and play with Mickey and Minnie.

The signature experience will be “Minnie’s Captain Academy,” a high-energy training session for kids to exercise their bodies (through playful games, dancing and maritime “drills”) and their minds, testing their imagination and ingenuity during a series of challenges tied to STEAM principles (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). Captain Minnie will inspect their progress and officially declare them honorary captains!

Quality Play Time with Super Heroes, Princesses and “Frozen” Friends

At Disney’s Oceaneer Club, kids will have more opportunities than ever to have fun with Disney characters during expertly developed games and programs – and when characters stop by, they will stay to play. Like “Star Wars: Creature Challenge” and “Minnie’s Captain Academy,” each space will offer uniquely interactive, memorable experiences that are exclusive to Disney Cruise Line.

  • At Marvel Super Hero Academy, young recruits will join a hands-on training session with Ant-Man and The Wasp, who will teach them how to create and test their very own Pym Particles, the technology that allows these heroes to shrink and grow objects (and themselves).
  • Also at Marvel Super Hero Academy, kids will team up with the masterminds from Pym Technologies and Wakandan Design Group — including a special appearance by Black Panther — to thwart Taskmaster’s evil plan to hack into the academy’s system and steal the world’s most advanced hero tech.
  • When the hub of Disney’s Oceaneer Club transforms into the Snuggly Duckling tavern from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Tangled,” kids will have the best day ever with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider as they embark on a scavenger hunt to recover the missing pieces of the Snuggly Duckling sign.
  • In Belle’s Library, children will use their imaginations to create the most daring, hilarious, fantastical new story for their favorite booklover. Belle will lend her wits and her magic mirror to help determine the characters, plot and conclusion of the brand-new tale.
  • At Anna and Elsa’s Sommerhus, the newest citizens of Arendelle will join a special celebration of Queen Anna’s recent coronation by acting out the history of how she became queen — taking on the roles and iconic movie moments of characters like Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Hans and more — before the queen, her sister and their snowman friend show up to join the fun.

Dedicated Fun for Tots, Tweens and Teens

As previously announced, cruisers ages six months to three years will be cared for at It’s a Small World Nursery, where babysitting services will be provided in a whimsical environment inspired by the beloved Disney attraction of the same name. Here, little ones will play games, make crafts, watch movies, read books and spend time with Disney friends under the expert care of Disney-trained counselors.

Older kids will chill and play in their own way aboard the Disney Wish at trendy hangouts that combine sophisticated design with youthful Disney touches. Not only will the ship feature our signature tween and teen clubs, Edge and Vibe, but it will also have a brand-new hangout especially for them. I’ll be sharing more details about these experiences right here on the Disney Parks Blog tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Name a better brunch…we’ll wait 🤤 For $45.0 Name a better brunch…we’ll wait 🤤 For $45.00 per adult on the Disney Wish you can enjoy an endless amount of breakfast & lunch while enjoying the views of Nassau (3 & 4 night cruises) or the sea (4 night cruises) 🌊 There was not one thing we wouldn’t have ordered again — that’s how good the menu was. Each meal comes with a complimentary champagne or mimosa (the group opted for OJ 🍊but I opted for pineapple 🍍) and additional beverages can be ordered while you enjoy your meal for a nominal fee. When it comes to the menu…you can enjoy anything from pancakes to ravioli, croissants to soup and the servers are wonderful making sure your meal is timed out just right. My favorite part was confirming that the food truly tasted as good as it looked. This is something I wouldn’t miss on any Disney cruise, but especially the Wish. The venue is beautiful, sleek and perfectly themed 🕰️ Have you dined at Palo before?

Piano Bar Paradise 🎹💟 Nightingale's is one o Piano Bar Paradise 🎹💟 Nightingale's is one of the best spots for pre or post dinner drinks on the Disney Wish. The best part of the location is how close it’s located to the Grand Hall. Close enough to the action, but far enough to enjoy an adult exclusive fairytale setting. This bar is inspired by Cinderella’s rendition of “Sing Sweet Nightingale” 🎶 The pearlescent bubble chandelier & music note touches are so intentional. The music was enjoyable and the pianist added a special touch to be remembered. We tried the 🦋Butterfly🦋 from the Smoke Bubbles menu: Bombay Sapphire, Butterfly Pea Tea, Citrus. Delicious!! The beverage names are so clever and if you love Cinderella like us, you’ll want to check this out.
