Photo Tour and Deck Plan: Disney Wish

The newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Wish, took its maiden voyage in July 2022. The Disney Wish is the fifth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, has 15 decks, 1,254 staterooms, is 1,119 feet in length and weighs 144,000 gross tons. You'll find a Cinderella statue in the Grand Hall and see Rapunzel on the stern.

We'll tour the ship starting from Deck 1 up to Deck 15, going from Aft to Forward. Let's start our photo tour!

Deck 1

Deck 1 is where you'll find the Health Center. It's also where you can exit the ship to board a tender at Ports of Call that require ships to anchor offshore. 

Deck 2

Deck 2 is the home of "it's a small world" nursery which is for children age 12 months to 2 years old. It's important to know that childcare at "it's a small world" nursery is not included in your cruise fare but the Oceaneer Club is included.

Deck 3

Deck 3 is where you will find one of the three main dining restaurants; 1923. The restaurant is actually split in half so you have 1923: Walt Disney on one side and 1923: Roy Disney on the other.

Deck 3 is also where you enter the ship into the gorgeous Grand Hall. The Grand Hall is where you'll find a ton of character meet and greets and entertainment on the Grand Hall Stage. It's also where you can find the Cinderella statue. The Grand Hall is 3 decks high and has balconies on Deck 4 and 5. 
You'll also find the Oceaneer Club Check-In desk in the Grand Hall and the most awesome entrance to the Oceaneer Club ever; a slide! You can check-in your kids at the desk and then they can slide down from Deck 3 to Deck 2 to enter the club. Adults can try out the slide during open house hours and I highly recommend! 
Deck 3 has several shopping locations on the Starboard side; Enchanted Castle Jewels, Royal Regalia, Once Upon a Time and 3 Wishes. Treasures Untold is another shop located on the Port side.
Deck 3 is home to several nightclubs and lounges. Nightingale's and Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge are located on the Port side and The Bayou is located in the middle of Deck 3.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
