It's official! A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King opens at  Kingdom on May 15th!

Suite Dreams! The FIRST-EVER Disney Cruise Line Tunnel Suite
The Wish Tower Suite, a first-of-its-kind accommodation set high in the forward funnel of the Disney Wish, will be a 1,966-square-foot penthouse in the sky. It will include a spacious upper-level loft, sleep up to eight guests with two main bedrooms, a children’s room, a library that converts to a bedroom, and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The living room will be flanked by an open dining area, and a bar, and an expansive two-story window wall.

The piece de resistance of this Moana-inspired suite will be a hand-crafted porcelain sculpture that comes alive in an only-Disney-can-do way. When you arrive to the Wish Tower Suite, the statue will pulse in hues of green amid soft chimes, revealing itself as the heart of Te Fiti. The special lighting and audio effects will eventually fill the room to provide a truly magical, one-of-a-kind greeting. Of course, you can expect the royal treatment while staying in the Wish Tower Suite, marked by the expert service of a personal concierge team, a delightful selection of curated services and daily treats, and even a private elevator. Talk about the VIP experience!

New Wedding Venue Onboard
Inspired by fairy tales, the Grand Hall features a magnificent staircase that serves as a stunning backdrop for a wedding ceremony or vow renewal. A shimmering chandelier illuminates the venue and sparkling columns, evoking the imagery of pixie dust. The royal blue and gold color palette can easily be paired with a variety of wedding looks. Like all Disney Cruise Line Fairy Tale Weddings, each couple will enjoy their very own dedicated Disney Weddings team who will be there along the entire planning journey and on the wedding day to ensure a magical wedding experience. Weddings aboard the Wish will begin June 20, 2022!
