For more than 100 years, Disney storytelling has inspired families around the world – through films, experiences, products and vacations – to believe in their dreams and pursue them boldly. Today, we are thrilled to announce that the next Disney Cruise Line ship will be a tribute to those dreamers and doers who dare to pursue their own happily ever after.

The Disney Believe is the fourth ship in the groundbreaking Wish class, where beloved stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars surround families from the moment they step on board. From incredible entertainment to thoughtfully designed spaces, every detail is crafted to bring storytelling to life at sea.

But what makes the Wish class truly special is that each ship features its own unique design theme that shapes those stories, from the venues and experiences to the décor and entertainment. Like its sister ships — the enchantment-themed Disney Wish, adventure-themed Disney Treasure, and heroes and villains-themed Disney Destiny — the Disney Believe will have its own unique motif: one of promise and possibilities.

Onboard the Disney Believe, powerful tales of characters who believe in themselves and their dreams will come to life in exciting new ways. 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. 

The Disney Believe is expected to debut in late 2027, and we can’t wait to share more information with you in the coming months. But the best news of all? You don’t have to wait to experience the magic of a Disney cruise! With a growing fleet and a wide variety of itineraries, there are countless ways to make memories right now.

A Whimsical Welcome to the Reimagined Lounge

As you step into The Garden View Lounge, it feels like walking into a sunlit conservatory. A Feature of the space is the floor-to-ceiling windows. No matter the time of day, natural light pours into the room, giving the entire space a warm, inviting glow.

As you look closer into the space, the furniture strikes a balance between modern comfort and classic Victorian, making the lounge feel fresh while honoring the beloved Grand Floridian style guests know and love.

Details That Bring the Space to Life

As with any Disney location, the magic is in the details. The floral patterns, plush fabrics, and gentle hues of green, blue, and gold create a serene atmosphere that feels connected to nature.

Organic shapes appear throughout the room, portraying the flowers and leaves you’d find in a flourishing garden, creating a lush escape for anyone who enters.

Check In & Check It Out: New Rooms and Lobby at Pop Century Resort There is something instantly cheerful about Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Bold color, playful details, and nostalgic winks to decades past spark joy for the young and the young-at-heart.

With the resort’s recent refreshes coming together throughout the lobby, Petals Pool Bar, and refreshed rooms, the experience feels even brighter and more “Pop” than ever.

There is something instantly cheerful about Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Bold color, playful details, and nostalgic winks to decades past spark joy for the young and the young-at-heart.

With the resort’s recent refreshes coming together throughout the lobby, Petals Pool Bar, and refreshed rooms, the experience feels even brighter and more “Pop” than ever.

Celebrate the Decades with New Lobby Details

The first thing guests will notice when they step into the newly reimagined lobby is how bright and energetic the space is, with plenty of spots to pause, take everything in, and snap a photo before heading out for a Disney day.

bf22c1a4-407c-4638-97e4-89f54af305f1.jpg

New touches include vibrant floor-to-ceiling artwork inspired by pop culture from the 1950s-1990s and larger-than-life illustrations of Disney’s Fab Five. The decades come alive through bold patterns and graphics like the TV wall, a collection of vintage-style television frames that creates a delightfully retro backdrop.

The refresh also made the space work better for today’s guests. To create more room to relax while waiting to check in or head out, the teams behind the magic reconfigured part of the lobby and added more seating, including communal tables that give guests more places to sit, recharge or get a little work done.

“One of our biggest goals was making the lobby feel brighter, more vibrant and more functional for Guests,” said Luis Sanchez, project manager on the Facility Asset Management team. “We looked at everything from the lighting to the seating layout so the space feels more open and comfortable — and supports the look and feel Disney Imagineers envisioned.”

While the design grabs your attention, the welcome is what makes it feel like Disney. Whether guests are ready to start their vacation or figuring out where to go next, cast members are right there to help them settle in, answer quick questions, and make arrival feel effortless.

Cool Off at Petals Pool Bar

Petals Pool Bar has always been a bright spot at the Hippy Dippy Pool, and newly refreshed finishes make it the perfect pit stop for a mid-day break between splashes. Up close, tile details add texture and color behind the bar, and clear digital menu boards make ordering simple.

2bdd192b-e683-4b18-a8f5-4b26aabd4998.jpg

The space also received refreshed finishes and thoughtful updates that make ordering easier and the overall experience more comfortable for both guests and cast members.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a great pool day without the people who keep it running smoothly. Cast members bring the friendly, upbeat service that makes Petals Pool Bar a fan-favorite, offering quick recommendations and helpful answers so guests can stay in vacation mode.

53b29109-4854-4e56-b069-e47f02ce895a.jpg

Recharge With Refreshed Rooms

After a full day of fun, the refreshed rooms offer a bright and comfy space to kick back and relax.

f42028db-15ab-460a-8c15-3db9362da301.jpg

Disney Imagineers brought Pop Century’s playful, decade-inspired style into the refreshed rooms through a brighter palette and layered textures — with warm, wood-toned flooring, a geometric area rug with pops of blue, gray, green, and orange, and soft sky-blue accents near the bed wall and bathroom.

Refreshed curtains and patterned upholstery add extra personality, with subtle touches — including Hidden Mickeys in the chair fabric — that keep the space feeling unmistakably Disney while still clean, comfortable, and functional.

The enhancements to the lobby, Petals Pool Bar, and rooms shine alongside earlier updates at Everything POP Shopping & Dining, including refreshed dining and shopping spaces and a new coffee shop for fueling up before guests head to their next adventure.

Countless Reasons to Stay in the Magic

One of the best parts of a Disney Resort hotel stay is the support that’s built into the experience, including how easy it is to get around. At Disney’s Pop Century Resort, guests are just steps away from access to the Disney Skyliner, making it simple to travel to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

And when it’s time for the rest — finding their way, choosing a meal, figuring out transportation, or getting a question answered — cast members are always ready to help keep guests' days moving smoothly.

Staying at a Disney Resort hotel also comes with conveniences that make vacation days feel simpler from start to finish, like early theme park entry. For even more convenience, the Airport Luggage Transfer at Disney pilot lets eligible guests staying at select Disney Resort hotels transfer luggage to and from Orlando International Airport when flying with participating airlines.

However guests “do” Pop Century — park days, pool days, or a little of both — these refreshed spaces are ready to welcome them with plenty of personality, comfort, and signature Disney service throughout.

Disney Friends Make a Splash at the Water Parks

What makes a Disney water park even more fun? Characters, of course! Just for the summer, guests can meet Goofy in his laid-back beach style at Blizzard Beach or catch Stitch spreading playful chaos at Typhoon Lagoon.

If guests prefer to splash the night away, they can also check out Disney H2O Glow After Hours at Typhoon Lagoon. It's a separately ticketed event happening on select nights from June 2 – September 5. This year is bringing new waves of excitement as guests will get to enjoy the water park after dark, boogie on the beach and see some rare characters like Powerline Max, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, and more.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

We just got word from Star Command: our mission is ready. Join Buzz Lightyear beginning April 8 at Magic Kingdom Park to save the galaxy from the evil emperor Zurg on this recharged attraction.

After boarding your enhanced ride vehicle, guests will meet Buddy, a new support bot at Star Command, who will help them train with some target practice before heading out on their mission. From interactive targets that will now react and light up when hit, to new hand-held blasters that will include an always-on laser and new lighting, sound and vibration effects, Buddy has full confidence the Space Rangers will succeed.

Once guests return to Star Command, there will be new Disney PhotoPass memories waiting featuring, for the first time, guests' scores and rank for all the bragging rights. 

And that's not all the fun Magic Kingdom has to offer during Cool KIDS' SUMMER, as the prospectors over at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad put the finishing touches on the wildest ride in the wilderness. The attraction will reopen with new magic and the shine and polish of an all-over refurbishment in early May.

The Mandalorian and Grogu on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Plus, a new gameplay addition allows our trusty engineers to communicate directly with Grogu during the mission. This is the way!

The Walt Disney Studios

“The Walt Disney Studios” outdoor courtyard will be ready for families to see and explore on May 26.
