I took tons of notes during today’s big reveal, and the Disney Believe looks incredible! 🚢✨
It's the fourth and final Wish-class ship, and Disney packed in some great surprises. Here is everything you need to know in one place:
Sail Dates & Itineraries
* Maiden Voyage: December 18, 2027 (5 nights visiting Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay, and Nassau).
* Home Port: Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
* Inaugural Season (Winter 2027 – Spring 2028): 4- and 5-night Bahamian cruises, plus 5-night Western Caribbean trips to Cozumel, Mexico.
* Island Stops: Every single sailing visits Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay, or both!
* Holidays at Sea: Christmas cruise leaves December 23, and New Year’s Eve cruise departs December 31! 🎄🎉
The Ship & The Spaces
* Grand Hall: Themed around Moana, featuring an ocean-inspired chandelier, glowing carpet, and a bronze statue of Moana, Pua, and Heihei.
* Characters: Tinker Bell is on the bow (front), and Woody and Buzz are on the stern (back) painting Believe in yellow crayon.
* Gazelle Lounge: A brand-new Zootopia hub! Family trivia, character meet-and-greets, and an interactive mystery show during the day; silent discos and adult fun at night.
* Pool Deck: The AquaMouse water coaster returns, along with the Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party.
Broadway-Style Shows
* Disney Encanto: The first-ever stage musical of Encanto exclusive to the Believe! 🦋
* Tangled: The Musical: Moving over from the Disney Magic with brand-new sets and effects.
* Disney Seas the Adventure: A high energy show starring Captain Minnie and Disney favorites.
Food, Drinks & Lounges
* Oaken’s Table: A Frozen Family Feast: A new dinner show with Oaken, Anna, and Kristoff set in a summer courtyard with live music.
* Returning Favorites: Worlds of Marvel (Groot Remix) and 1923 for rotation dinners, plus Palo Steakhouse, Enchanté, and The Rose for adults.
* Quick Bites: Pluto’s Pita Platters on the top deck, Big Hero Sips (Big Hero 6), Café Kakamora (Moana), and Joyful Sweets (Inside Out).
Lounges:
* Sea Notes: Little Mermaid piano bar.
* Wishing Well: Snow White lounge.
* Skygazers: Astronomy-themed pub.
* Haunted Mansion Parlor: Yes, it’s back 👻
Kids Clubs & Staterooms
* Kids to Teens: The Oceaneer Club has a fun Monsters, Inc. entrance, plus dedicated spaces for babies through older teens.
* Rooms: Fresh art inspired by Moana, Coco, and The Lion King.
* Concierge: An Alice in Wonderland lounge, Peter Pan rooms, and seven Toy Story oceanview suites.
* Believe Tower Suite: A huge, two-story suite inside the ship's forward funnel themed to the Magic Kingdom!
The biggest surprise for me was definitely Oaken’s Table! Since the Wish already has an Arendelle dinner show, I wasn't expecting more Frozen—but Disney always knows how to add a fun twist. Combine that with a brand-new Encantomusical, and this ship is set to be fantastic.
