Hello, my friend! After Disney’s Believe reveal experience aboard the Disney Wish, I keep coming back to one thought... I want to experience this new ship with YOU.

So… let’s do it! Come sail with me and your WDW Radio family aboard the Disney Believe, May 1–6, 2028 from Port Everglades, for five nights together at sea.

Early booking begins THIS Monday, October 12, for Pearl Castaway Club members. The other membership levels follow throughout the week, with booking opening to everyone on Monday, October 19, so now is a great time to get your request to our friends at Mouse Fan Travel.

What we get to discover together

Imagine walking into a Grand Hall inspired by Moana, seeing the first-ever stage adaptation of Encanto, and sitting down to a new Frozen dining experience at Oaken’s Table. And yes, I’m already thinking about dinner… you know me.

• Moana’s Grand Hall: Ocean-inspired details and a statue of Moana, Pua, and Heihei welcoming us aboard.
• Disney Encanto: An exclusive new stage production, alongside a reimagined Tangled: The Musical.
• Oaken’s Table: A Frozen family feast with music and appearances by Anna and Kristoff.
• New places to linger: The Little Mermaid-inspired Sea Notes piano lounge, Snow White’s Wishing Well, and the observatory-themed Skygazers pub.

The best part? Who we’re going with.

Some of my favorite memories from our group cruises are the conversations over dinner, familiar faces around the ship, and people who arrive knowing no one and leave with new friends. That’s what I’m looking forward to most, along with discovering a brand-new Disney ship together.

Come with your family, a friend, someone you love, or on your own. You are welcome here, and we’ll share our group activities and gathering details as plans come together.

There’s no additional fee to be part of our WDW Radio group when you book through Mouse Fan Travel. All group reservations are handled exclusively through them, and their planning services are free.
