First look: We got early access to Disney Cruise Line’s first new ship in 10 years

As Mickey Mouse would say, “Oh boy!”

For the first time in a decade, Disney Cruise Line is debuting a new ship, and — as we saw during an exclusive sneak peek on Tuesday — it’s truly spectacular.

Scheduled to be unveiled to the media Wednesday at Port Canaveral in Florida, the 2,500-passenger Disney Wish offers everything from a “Star Wars”-themed bar and a waterslide that features animation to a revamped kids club and interactive “Frozen”- and Marvel-themed restaurants.

As we saw during our early look, and as you can see in our first-look array of Disney Wish photos below, it’s a vessel heavy on technology as well as magic.

Scroll down for TPG’s exclusive Disney Wish first look in photos. We’ll be posting lots more live from the ship over the next four days as Disney holds a preview event for the media in advance of the ship’s first sailings with paying passengers next month.
