If you’ve ever sailed with Disney Cruise Line, you know there are a few things you can count on: a perfectly timed towel animal waiting on your bed, Mickey-shaped everything, and your favorite cafe being exactly where you left it. Well, hold onto your mouse ears, because we’ve got to tell you about a change that could impact your next Disney cruise.

We just got off the Disney Wish, and we confirmed some pretty disappointing news about the specialty coffees on board. Whether you’re a cruise veteran who has the entire Sail Away Party memorized or you’re still daydreaming about your first sailing, this one’s worth paying attention to. (Yes, we may or may not have gasped a little when we found out!)

Ahoy, Disney Cruise Line fans! We’ve got an update you probably won’t be too happy about. We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but someone has to be. You might already know that onboard Disney Cruise Line, regular drip coffee is included with the cost of your cruise — along with milk or cream and sugar. But, there are cafes and coffee shops on board the ships that feature specialty coffees — think lattes, cold brew, americanos, things like that. Those specialty drinks are not included and are a separate cost, but Disney does try to soften that blow a bit with coffee cards.

With these coffee cards, you get stamps for each specialty coffee you buy, and when you buy five, you get your sixth for free. In the past, these cards could travel with you from cruise to cruise and ship to ship, so that if you didn’t fill up your card on one sailing, you could bring it back for your next sailing and reap the rewards.

Well, friends, we’re sad to say that is no longer the case.

We just got off a sailing on the Disney Wish, and when we grabbed our newest coffee card, we noticed that it had new text at the bottom that read, “Non-transferable between Guests or cruises.” WHAT?! We asked a Cast Member about it, and they confirmed that this was a new change.

While we’re bummed that the cards are no longer transferable between cruises, at least Disney didn’t get rid of the coffee cards altogether (though we wouldn’t necessarily be surprised if they did). You can still earn that free sixth coffee; you’ll just have to do it all within the span of one cruise now.

It’s not all bad news, though, because on this sailing we got to learn a LOT about the new Disney Believe cruise ship! The Disney Believe will be the fourth ship in the Disney Wish Class, and she sets sail on her maiden voyage on December 18th, 2027.

This new ship will present its own unique motif: one of promise and possibilities. There will be elements from the “mystical worlds of Encanto and Frozen, to the wishing wells of Snow White, to the depths of the sea with Moana and The Little Mermaid, there are endless stories waiting to be discovered and new chapters ready to unfold onboard.” You can read everything we know about the Disney Believe right here!

We’ll be on the lookout for more Disney Cruise Line updates you need to know about and beyond. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
