Pour yourself a Mickey-shaped cup of coffee, because we need to talk about the Disney Believe! Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship is set to debut in late 2027, and we’re already on the edge of our seats. As the fourth ship in the Wish class, it’s dedicated to dreamers and doers who dare to pursue their own happily ever after.

Here’s the thing: Disney hasn’t spilled many details about this cruise ship yet. But there’s a livestream reveal of the Disney Believe scheduled for October 7th, and you’d better believe (ha) fans will be glued to their screens. In fact, we’ll actually be at this event in person, bringing you everything you need to know about the Believe — and all the fun has already started! 

The Disney Believe ship will be the ninth Disney Cruise Line ship and the fourth Wish Class ship in the fleet, and it is set to open in late 2027. We were invited out on the Disney Wish to celebrate and learn more about the Disney Believe, which recently saw the first of the gigablocks completed and floated out in the shipyard! If you are unaware, a gigablock is basically a large puzzle piece, and when they are all put together, you get a fully built cruise ship.

Disney just told us that the second gigablock construction is currently underway, which means we’re getting closer and closer to having a fully put-together cruise ship! The Believe also just hit a major milestone: the keel laying ceremony! This is a maritime tradition that is designed to bestow good luck on the ship.

Disney previously revealed that the atrium statue for this ship will be Moana, the bow of the ship will feature Tinker Bell, and the stern will have Buzz and Woody coloring the ship’s name.

During our first day on the Disney Wish, we received this card with somewhat of an ominous message. You see, Disney is going to just give away all the details about the Believe. Instead, they’re sending us on a scavenger hunt for clues! We’ll have to find the clues in order to be able to get details, and it all culminates during the Disney Believe livestream taking place on Wednesday, which we’ll be attending in person.

We also got to preview a drink that will be exclusive to the Believe! Of course, Disney didn’t share many details — other than the fact that it’s Evil Queen-themed. We’re wondering if this is a hint about one of the lounges coming to the ship, like the Spellbound Lounge on the Disney Adventure — which is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs-themed and has LOTS of Evil Queen details.

We thought the drink was tasty, but very sweet. It had a heavy green apple flavor and featured a subtle amount of bubbles. The green apple flavor was more syrupy and sugary than fruity. We think there may have also been some notes of caramel, but they were very, very subtle.

Make sure you mark your calendar and set your alarm for the Disney Believe livestream on Wednesday, October 7th at 4:30 PM ET! 

We’ll be on the lookout for additional details about the Disney Believe throughout our week away at sea! In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more.
