Cruise Info
Booking Your Cruise
Please call Disney Cruise Line to book your reservation. You can enter extension 144 for Jason or 100 for Lisa or you can talk to any CVP to book your cruise! Please visit the link below (click 'View') for more info about the ship! As you are booking, you will need to pay a deposit (if booking before September 15th) at the time of booking. The deposit will be 20% of your cruise total and your cruise total will vary based on the type of Stateroom you choose. (Note: if you book after September 15th you will have to pay for the entire cruise at the time of booking.) When booking, please keep in mind that we have selected the SECOND SEATING dining option - if you would like to be seated with us (we'd love for you to be!), please request the second seating dining option. Once your cruise is booked, please let us know your reservation number and the full name it was reserved under so we can link it to ours! Please reach out if you have any questions!
Disney Cruise Line Magical Express
When booking your cruise, your CVP will ask you if you want to add Transportation. You have the option to book your flight through Disney (with no additional fees) and you have the option to book ground transportation from the airport to the cruise port when you arrive. This can be very convenient as the bus (similar to the one in the picture) will pick you up and take you directly to the port, along with all your luggage. Keep in mind that we are planning on having a Welcome Dinner the night before embarkation (Thurs., Dec. 14th) so if you are planning on attending that (and please do - it's for you, our guests!), then plan to arrive Thursday and stay at a hotel. We definitely recommend a Disney Resort hotel to complete the experience! Other options for getting to the cruise port include Lyft, Uber or renting a car, if you Wish.
Disney Cruise Line Mobile App
You will most likely want to download the Disney Cruise Line app (available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store). You can create a free account or, if you already have a Disney account, like the My Disney Experience for Walt Disney World, use the same login information. Once you have done that, simply enter in your cruise reservation number to link it to your app. The app will become an invaluable resource, not only to check-in and make sure you have all your documents in order before departure, but also to help you navigate the ship and see everything that is going on each day! Of course, our wedding information won't be on there, but we will provide you with every little detail once we are all on board! So go - download the app! It's very important!
Dining - Regular
Please request the second seating option (8:15 PM) if you wish to sit with us for dinner, as that is the option we have chosen. Disney Cruise Line does their dinners in a rotation format, rotating between three dining rooms for the three nights of the cruise. On Deck 5 is Arendelle: A Frozen Adventure, where we dine in a Frozen-themed dining room on Norwegian-inspired cuisine. Next, on Deck 4, is the Worlds of Marvel dining room with guest appearances by Ant-Man and the Wasp! If you love technology, you'll love this dining room! Last but not least is 1923 located on Deck 5, styled in Old Hollywood glam and glitz. Named after the year the Walt Disney Company was founded (and 100 years before our own wedding!), this is the most elegant of the dining rooms. We intend to try to score this dining room on the night of our wedding, but we cannot 'choose' our rotation - only request it.
Dining - Buffet
For breakfast, lunch, or a snack at any time of the day, visit the Disney Wish's Marceline Market buffet! Located at the aft (back) of Deck 11, this indoor buffet has a variety of food options for any time of day. Want something a little more special, or closer to the pool areas? Try out Mickey and Friends' Festival of Foods! It's a boardwalk-themed food court with the Fab Five! You can try out Donald's Cantina, Goofy's Grill, Mickey's Smokestack Barbecue, and Sweet Minnie's Ice Cream (featuring the world-famous Disney Cruise Line soft-serve!).
Dining - Specialty
If you are looking for something even more special, the Disney Wish does have a few specialty dining options - these are restaurants you will have to pay extra for. They are finer dining, though, and offer a different experience to the main dining rooms and the buffet/snack stations. The specialty dining restaurants onboard are: Enchante (international fine dining cuisine), Palo Steakhouse (premium steaks and Italian fare), and The Rose (an adult-only lounge and bar). Again, you will have to PAY EXTRA for these options, IF you choose to partake in them. Of course, you are not required to eat at any one of these restaurants, but if you would like to, you should try to make a reservation with your CVP when booking your cruise package (it may not be available as of yet, but you can ask!).
Entertainment - The Walt Disney Theater
The Walt Disney Theater is located at the bow (front) of the ship on Decks 3 and 4, with seating for 1274 people. There are nightly broadway-quality shows, the headliner being Disney's Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular. For those with the second seating dining option (like us), we will have the chance to attend the shows that start around 6:00 PM (exact timing to be confirmed closer to the cruise dates), followed by dinner after. This is another reason that we would like to request that you choose the second seating dining option if possible - so we can all attend the spectacular shows together!
Entertainment - Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge
Calling all Star Wars fans!! Your Star Wars-themed cocktail awaits! In Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, take off from the middle of the ocean blue and enjoy a drink or two in space! With Star Wars-themed drinks, décor, and ambiance, you're sure to enjoy the view!
Entertainment - Wonderland/Neverland Cinemas
If you are looking to relax and unwind with a Disney movie, check out the Wonderland and Neverland Cinemas! Located at the bow of the ship, they flank the Deck 4 entrance to the Walt Disney Theater. They are decorated and inspired by Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan (Neverland), and they play Disney movies all day every day, along with first-run movies! So if you're looking to take a breather from all there is to do on the ship, maybe catch a movie!
Entertainment - Luna
The Luna Theater is a secondary theater for live performances, like musicals, comedy shows, game shows, and more! They will have activities going on throughout the day, so be sure to check your cruise schedule to see what they have going on! Heidi's favorite game to participate in during cruises is the trivia (especially Disney trivia!) and Ethan's favorite is shuffleboard! We hope to be able to enjoy a little of both with all of you!
Entertainment - Senses Spa
Perhaps you're looking for ultimate relaxation. You can find it at Senses Spa, where you can get spa and beauty treatments in a beautiful oasis designed around serenity, pampering, and relaxation. Heidi is planning on trying to get a massage there herself before the big "I Do"!
Entertainment - Hero Zone
If you want to shoot some hoops or play a game of soccer, Hero Zone is the place! It is a 'dynamic family recreation' area, with basketball hoops and other sports equipment. It also features a playground and a game floor.
Entertainment - Quiet Cove / Cove Café
To get away from the hustle and bustle of all the cruise activities, go to Quiet Cove, an ADULTS-ONLY pool at the very back of the ship. It features an infinity pool and views for miles. There is an open seating space with plenty of seating, and nearby, Cove Café - the adults-only bar area servicing Quiet Cove.
Entertainment - AquaMouse
AquaMouse is the FIRST-EVER Disney attraction at sea! It is a 780-foot long water ride themed after the head mouses (meeses? mices? micies?) themselves - Mickey and Minnie! It features immersive show scenes, dazzling lighting, and amazing special effects (and yes, that bit came from their website). If you can't find Heidi anywhere....... this is probably where she'll be!
