Designing The Disney Wish: New Experiences For Kids

Disney Cruise Line fans know how thoroughly the Disney experience caters to cruisers of all ages. The Disney Wish will feature a totally reimagined Disney’s Oceaneer Club, There, kids ages 3 to 12 will experience the worlds of Marvel Super Heroes, Disney Princesses, “Frozen” friends and Disney Imagineers in brand-new ways.

And I have exciting news for you! Two brand new, magical experiences will debut on the Disney Wish next summer: Star Wars: Cargo Bay and Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck!

New Adventures at Star Wars: Cargo Bay will feature exciting, immersive, interactive experiences. In Cargo Bay, kids are plaved in the important role of creature handlers throughout the cruise. According to Disney Destinations, kids “will use augmented reality-enabled datapads to track and study the creatures on a series of special assignments.” The “handlers” will join an important mission to deliver a pair of secret stowaways, Rey and Chewbacca, back to the Resistance.

A Celebration of Exploration at Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck is uniquely designed for the youngest sailors at Disney’s Oceaneer Club. Captain’s Deck features sensory-style activities as games like pipe slides and crawl-throughs, ship’s wheels, “busy boxes” fashioned as ship controls, and cushy life preserver seating areas. There’s even an additional signature experience available!

“The signature experience will be ‘Minnie’s Captain Academy,’ a high-energy training session for kids to exercise their bodies (through playful games, dancing and maritime “drills”) and their minds, testing their imagination and ingenuity during a series of challenges tied to STEAM principles (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). Captain Minnie will inspect their progress and officially declare them honorary captains!”
