Disney Wish 2023

I had a great birthday weekend at the end of May!

My birthday fell on Memorial Day, so I had a three-day weekend and fortunately, there was a three-day Disney Cruise that fell on the same days! Perfection! We sailed on the Wish for the second time (the first being last September) and while it would have been great if it had been a longer cruise, we loved every minute of it!

I've written many times before about our other Disney Cruises, and with each one (this was number nine for me and number eight for C), we've gotten smarter about what we choose to do.  This time. we didn't go to any of the shows or any of the sit-down meals. Amazing! Why we haven't avoided these in the past?!? Not only are they time consuming, but they're crowded, so we really felt like we had so much more time to enjoy the ship! We also avoided the Pirate Party, which was on the night of my birthday, and instead hung out at the Star Wars themed Hyperspace Lounge, which was fabulous!

the location of our room was fantastic -
down this little hallway with no other rooms nearby!

the layout of our room was so great!

our room last time on the Wish was on Deck 9
and was themed after The Princess and the Frog;
this time we were on Deck 11 and the theme was Moana

honestly one of the most important
albums of my childhood

there was a very cool inflatable obstacle course
for kids themes after The Incredibles

went to a silent DJ party

Hyperspace Lounge

birthday dessert - better than any cake!

went back to Hyperspace Lounge for a second time

the atrium is beautiful!

We have another Disney Cruise coming up in about seven weeks, and we can't wait!

Fun Fact: Right now, there are five Disney ships. Before the Wish joined the fleet, if you sailed on the all four, it was informally coined a "Grand Slam." Now, if you've sailed on all five, apparently it's known as a "High Five on the High Seas!" Adorable!

Happy Tails to you!
