Boarding the Disney Wish | Very Merrytime Cruise | Kennedy Space Center

Embarkation day on our Disney Wish Very Merrytime Cruise begins with a detour into the cosmos. Before boarding, we squeeze in a lightning-round visit to the Kennedy Space Center, checking out legendary space shuttles and roaming through the Rocket Garden like curious astronauts on shore leave. Then it's time to board the Disney Wish, where we wander through its gorgeous theming: the sparkling Grand Hall, the sweet temptation of Joyful Sweets, the cosy cinemas, and the serene Senses Spa. As the ship prepares to sail, we head topside for the Set Sail on a Wish party and take in a sunset that looks suspiciously like it was storyboarded by Disney Animation. The Christmas spirit kicks in early as we gather for the Grand Hall Christmas Tree Lighting, followed by the high-energy Seas the Adventure show in the Walt Disney Theatre and a mischievous round of Villains Game Night at Luna. Dinner is a full Arendelle celebration—live music, Nordic flavours, and all the frozen whimsy you could ask for—before we jump into hyperspace at the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge for a mocktail nightcap. We wrap the night with some peaceful late-night exploring and a wander through The Rose bar, letting the first day aboard sink in.
