Summary

We're sharing our impressions on the Disney Wish, from our first sailing on the Wish since it's Maiden Voyage, last August. We checked-in on activities and offerings we experienced last August to see how they have changed and evolved, and also took some time to do some new things onboard that weren't available on the Maiden Voyage like Olaf's Royal Picnic, the private dinining room at Enchanté, and a tour of the Tower Suite courtesy of our friend Chris. We've also got some special guests (and friends) joining us to share their feedback. How has Disney Cruise Line evolved the Wish experience as come to the end of her innaugural season? Come find out!
