This past week was HUGE in the realm of Disney news!
It was a big week!
It was the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort, so things were hoppin’ in the theme parks. However, Disney didn’t neglect their online fans — several new merchandise items dropped online, so you can still “feel the magic” shopping from your couch!
Another week has gone by and we’ve got LOTS of Disney news to share with you.

We are so excited about the newest ship in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet, the Disney Wish!

The ship will set sail for its maiden voyage in June 2022 from Port Canaveral, FL, and will offer 3- and 4-night cruises to Nassau and Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Cay. And there is going to be SO MUCH TO DO on the ship for EVERY age group.
Earlier this year, Disneyland Paris unveiled a new Premier Access program, which essentially got rid of the FastPass system there and replaced it with a program that allows guests to pay a little extra to skip the lines at certain attractions. Sounds kinda like Disney Genie+ and pay-per-ride, right?

Premier Access works like this — a guest can choose to pay an upcharge via the Disneyland Paris app to skip the line for each available attraction. Only certain rides have this feature, but those that do cost anywhere from around €8 to €15 (around $9 to $18 USD).

We’ve seen SO. MUCH. 50th Anniversary merchandise. Seriously, it’s hard to keep track of it all! And it’s been in HIGH demand. Some of the items have been available online already, but there have been some notable exceptions. Now, a much-anticipated item has arrived online!
The newest addition to Disney Cruise Line, the Disney Wish, is scheduled to set sail on its maiden voyage in June 2022.
