10 Guesses I Have for the Disney Believe

Share This!

We have a name, a theme, and some IP Hints for Disney’s fourth Wish-class ship! As I mentioned in my blog post last week, Disney’s Believe will be full of beloved stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. The theming will be Promise and Possibilities, and Disney released a video that likely contains hints about some of the spaces onboard. With absolutely no inside information on what will be where, I thought it would be fun to take the video and Disney’s Park Blog’s post and make some guesses! Here are mine. Feel free to add yours!

1. Grand Hall Statue – Disney specifically called out five movies – Encanto, Frozen, Snow White, Moana, and The Little Mermaid. So I’m guessing they will have the most prominent spaces onboard, the Grand Hall first and foremost. We’ve already got Snow White and Little Mermaid statues, so my guess (and preference) here is Moana! The ocean blues could make for another stunning Grand Hall. Brace yourself, anti-Frozen people. There’s a pretty good chance it could be Anna and Elsa.

2. Dining Show – We won’t see Frozen here because it’s on the Wish, and I feel like Encanto is out here as well, just because of its similarities to Coco, which is on the Treasure. Moana would be amazing! But is it too similar to the (amazing) show on the Treasure? I think we could be looking at The Little Mermaid here! Sure, Triton’s has a restaurant on the Wonder, but it’s not a dinner show!

3. Broadway Type Show – The headliner show is a pretty big deal, and each new ship has gotten its own so far. None of the other four movies listed would work here, in my opinion. We’ve already got The Little Mermaid (and it’s not been popular enough to duplicate), Frozen has its own show on three ships already, Moana has a spectacular show already, and Snow White probably isn’t enticing enough for its own show. So we may just have an Encanto show on Believe! It would certainly make sense to also show Disney’s Believe from the Dream and Fantasy as well. Of course it also would have made sense to have Disney’s Aladdin from the Fantasy and Wish onboard the Treasure, and that didn’t happen!

4. Hyper Themed Bar – Haunted Mansion Parlor onboard the Treasure and Destiny is incredible, but I’m hoping we get something new in its space. I wonder if this is where Frozen will be featured? Disney’s version of an Ice Bar? It could make for some amazing theming, if not a little odd for an adult-only space late at night. I’ve seen a few people guess Nightmare Before Christmas, and while I’m not a huge fan of the movie, I do think it could be great theming for a bar. So I’ll go with that!

5. Family Lounge – According to the list, we still need a big Frozen space onboard, so if it’s not in the Grand Hall, I think the family lounge on deck 3 (think Bayou, Skipper Society, and Sanctum on the other ships) may be the perfect space for it.

6. Pub/Sports Bar – This last lounge onboard is a toss-up! I’m trying to fit in something from the list of five or the movie clips in the video, and nothing is jumping out at me. Could it be Iron Man? Fantasmic? Tangled? I would love a Monsters Inc. or Toy Story space, but they have a little too much kid appeal for a bar. I will guess Iron Man with little to no confidence in that one.

7. Sweet Shop – I still can’t picture the perfect space for Snow White, so the sweet shop is my guess! We haven’t seen enough caramel apples onboard yet!

8. Itineraries – Disney normally sends new ships to standard itineraries. It entices new guests and gets longtime Disney cruisers back on itineraries they may have done over and over again. So that being said, I think Believe will take over for the Wish and do 3 and 4-night itineraries to the Bahamas out of Port Canaveral. Which means the Wish could be the ship heading to Galveston full-time in the fall of 2027!

9. Maiden Voyage Date – Disney told us that Believe will sail in late 2027. I desperately hope the maiden voyage will be closer to the maiden voyage date of the Destiny, which sailed in November, as opposed to the Treasure, which sailed in December. Christmas, to be exact. Oy. So fingers crossed for November of 2027!

10. Booking Date – It seems Believe is on a similar track to the Destiny and Treasure as far as booking dates go. Bookings for both opened in September, so I’m guessing bookings for the Believe will open in September of 2026.

What guesses do you have? I’d love to hear them!
