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.

Deck 4

Deck 4 Aft is the location of one of the other main dining restaurants; Worlds of Marvel. This is a really fun dining experience with lots of Marvel cameos. 
If you're looking for a little pampering, look no further than Hook's Barbery, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and the Untangled Salon.

Chronos Club Review at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

I recently stayed at the Chronos Club at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. I've been a fan of Disney's Coronado Springs Resort since my first visit as it reminds me of my hometown, San Antonio. I've stayed in rooms ranging from preferred, Casita Suite, Tower King, and now Club Level access. The Chronos Club is located on the 15th floor of the Gran Destino Tower and can only be accessed with a key card or MagicBand to a corresponding Club Level reservation. I've previously stayed Club Level at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Disney's BoardWalk Inn, and Disney's Grand Californian Resort. These are all considered Deluxe Resorts. Something that makes the Chronos Club stand out is that it is located in what Disney considers a Moderate Resort. I was really excited to check out the difference in experience, since there can be a notable difference in price tag for Moderate vs. Deluxe Res

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes

Black Tap Burgers & Shakes is located at the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort.  It is a fast-casual restaurant, meaning you order your items at the counter, but then they bring it to the table for you.  They have a selection of burgers, wings, salads and chicken and a fun milkshake menu.  If you just want a shake, there's also a walkup window outside, but some special creations can only be ordered for dine-in. We placed our order at the counter and noticed all the tables inside were full. We found a table outside and hung out while we waited for our food to come. They have a full bar and craft beers on tap, but I was surprised to get wine in a can. Strawberry Shortcake Shake We had hoped to have this Crazy Shake for dessert, but it actually came before any of our food. The Strawberry Shortcake is described as a vanilla frosted rim with crumbled cake topped with a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar, pink & white twisty pop, whipped cream, strawberry drizzle
