DCL Shares First Look at “Hero Zone” Coming to the Disney Wish

Disney Cruise Line has shared details about another new experience that’s coming to the Disney Wish when it debuts in 2022. The Hero Zone is “a futuristic sports arena where guests will experience a brand-new kind of active family play.”

Inspired by the characters of Pixar’s The Incredibles , the Incredi-Games will invite families to take on a highly interactive obstacle course with physical challenges that are themed to the powers of the Parr family members as well as their good friend Frozone.

Here’s how Disney describes some of the activities:

• Heroes will first test their strength by busting through a “brick” wall during  Mr. Incredible’s Power Punch .
• Jack-Jack’s Whack-A Rac  will pit players against Rocky and his raccoon friends, who you might remember from “The Incredibles 2.”
• Only the most flexible families will conquer the twists and turns of  Elastigirl’s Stretch-O-Rama .
• Family speedsters will be the front-runners of  Dash’s Mad Dash Mayhem .
• Violet’s Force Field Swing  will send supers soaring across a lava field. (Remember, we are using our incredible imaginations here!)
• The strong finish includes a cool down on  Frozone’s Ice Slide , where heroes will ascend to the highest peak and slide down the icy slope to victory.

The game show-style experience will feature high-energy hosts, adrenaline-pumping music, special effects, and more. Also, DCL says it’ll be just as enjoyable and entertaining for those who choose to watch from the sidelines as those who are immersed in the action as there is plenty of balcony viewing space for spectators.

Hero Zone will also be the new home of a guest-favorite Disney Cruise Line experience: Jack-Jack’s Incredible Diaper Dash! This competition gives the littlest cruisers the chance to become the Diaper Dash Champion by speed-crawling across a 20-foot track.

When Hero Zone isn’t being utilized for the Incredi-Games, it will become a free-play sports hub where guests can enjoy some friendly competition with basketball, soccer, and a variety of table-top games, including Ping-Pong, air hockey, foosball, and shuffleboard.

FIRST LOOK: Hero Zone Aboard the Disney Wish

by Holly Ramey · July 1, 2022

Ready to show off your sports and table-top game skills?! Then, make sure to stop by the Hero Zone aboard the Disney Wish during your next Disney Cruise Line vacation to keep all those skills sharpened during your time at sea!

While the Hero Zone might be known for the Incredi-Games; the interactive, produced game show that challenge families to take on an obstalce course inspired by The Incredibles with over-the-top physical challenges themed to the powers of the Parr family heroes and their good friend Frozone; it’s also a place that offers Guests the chance to play a game of basketball, soccer, or several table-top favorites.

On a side note, we actually caught the one-and-only John Stamos enjoying the Incredi-Games last night with his family in this clip below!

But, when the Incredi-Games aren’t being hosted, the Hero Zone is still the perfect spot to get together with your family and friends to enjoy.

Play a game of H-O-R-S-E with your crew…

Or, what about a chilling game of air hockey?

There’s also shuffleboard…..

As well as ping pong:

Or, if you are like me and just rather take a little break and relax for a few, the Hero Zone also has some of these cool-looking chairs:

I really love the theming of this space and the “light stream” that goes all around it!

Disney Cruise Line Reveals New Family Fun Details For Disney Wish

• by Michelle Snow
• February 20, 2022 February 20, 2022

Set to sail in July, the new Disney Wish is incorporating a lot of fun family experiences, and Disney Cruise Line has revealed more details.

From going on a picnic with “Frozen” friends to immersive shows featuring Disney Princesses, villains and heroes, the new ship has been designed to deliver endless fun for the whole family.

Olaf’s Royal Picnic

At Olaf’s Royal Picnic, guests aged 3-12 will interact with Olaf, Anna, Elsa and Kristoff like never before and delight in live musical performances of beloved songs like “Let It Go,” “Fixer Upper” and “In Summer.”

Under the expert direction of Baroness Dagmar Birgir — a lively lady-in-waiting to Queen Anna — castle staff will serve up delicious summer treats and picnic fare for the whole family to enjoy. The hall will be decked out in summer splendor just for the occasion, with a canopy of colorful flowers among the festive decor.

Children will receive an assortment of gifts and keepsakes, including a reversible troll plush, themed picnic blanket, and custom Nordic-style mandolin, which they’ll need for a special “Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People” strum-and-sing-along with Kristoff.

What’s more, from royal proclamations to unexpected visitors, the show will be jam-packed with surprises worth melting for.

Guests who have booked a Disney Wish cruise may reserve Olaf’s Royal Picnic before their sailing for an additional fee.

As previously announced, Disney Cruise Line is combining innovative design and technology to create the next generation of family entertainment venues aboard the Disney Wish: Grand Hall, Luna and Hero Zone.

These imaginative environments will come to life with immersive storytelling and interactive shows that put families front and center as they play a part in the magic.

The fairytale castle-inspired Grand Hall will evolve from a gathering space into an enchanting theater through the magic of built-in special effects and the first-ever atrium stage on a Disney ship.

A royal greeting will await families as they enter the glittering Grand Hall for the first time. Every child will receive their very own wishing wand upon embarkation, which they will use to make the “First Wish” of their vacation during a special boarding celebration.

During the sailing, families can attend a royal gathering of magnificent proportions as Disney Princesses descend into the Grand Hall to meet and greet with guests.

The Grand Hall stage will conceal a host of Disney friends during “Who’s Behind the Curtain?”, a playful game show where guests answer questions to reveal the identity of hidden characters.

On the final night of every sailing, cruisers will return to the Grand Hall and raise their wands with Fairy Godmother to ignite a spectacular farewell show featuring favorite characters, special effects and lively performances.

This brand-new entertainment hub — outfitted with a two-story LED screen wall, stage and bar — will offer a variety of live shows designed for families to laugh, sing and compete together.

“Villains Game Night” is a witty game show where guests will attempt to answer Disney trivia questions amid the jeers and sneers of nefarious Disney foes, including Cruella de Vil, Gaston, Hades, Maleficent and more, who will join on screen.

“Disney Songbook” will put guests in the spotlight as they belt out Disney songs and showcase their star talent for a live camera crew, who will project each performance onto the big screen.

During the live grand finale event for Disney Uncharted Adventure, an all-new interactive experience that uses guests’ mobile devices to unlock hidden adventures aboard the ship, families will team up with other cruisers to battle an infamous Disney villain.

Introducing a completely new category of active family play to the Disney Cruise Line portfolio, Hero Zone is a futuristic sports arena where physical activity will blend with imagination, offering highly produced show experiences in addition to free-play sports.

Families will test their strength, speed and stamina during the Incredi-Games, a high-energy game show featuring an elaborate obstacle course of over-the-top physical challenges, each inspired by the dynamic characters of Pixar’s “The Incredibles.”

Now with more fanfare than ever before, the guest-favorite Disney Cruise Line experience Jack-Jack’s Incredible Diaper Dash will offer terrific tots the chance to compete for the coveted title of Diaper Dash Champion as they speed-crawl across a 20-foot track amid the cheers (and chuckles) of family, friends and adoring fans.

All of this is in addition to previously announced fun attractions and dining such as an “Inside Out”-themed dessert shop , an original Broadway-style theatrical production of “ The Little Mermaid ”, a “Frozen”-themed theatrical dining experience , and new club areas for kids, tweens, and teens, to name but a few.

The Disney Wish will sail its maiden voyage on July 14, followed by a season of three- and four-night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, from Port Canaveral, Florida. The ship recently had its first float out .

If you wish to book a Disney Cruise Line adventure on any ship, not just the Disney Wish, we ask that you book your travel through Stacey Frost, an authorized Disney Cruise Line travel planner, with Pixie Vacations, and the wife of this blog’s owner. All bookings made with Stacey have no additional cost for you, but they help support The Disney Blog. Thank you

The Disney Wish Hero Zone is Just... WOW!

Gabriela V.

Created: Feb 13, 2024

Last Updated: Apr 17, 2024

Let's have a Walkthrough with The Incredibles Incred-i-Games

Disney Cruise Line is a magic voyage that we can’t say no to when it comes to attractions and entertainment. This time, we are here to show you why the Hero Zone is the coolest space on board the beautiful Disney Wish . You might be wondering, though... what is so special about it ?

Let’s find out together! 

Hero Zone is a climate-controlled sports area where you can play Basketball, Ping-pong, and other games in a cozy atmosphere rather than sweating by the pool. If those sunny days look kinda meh to you, you have found your new favorite place.

In this venue, you will find a space where Disney hosts numerous events as well as all sorts of sports tournaments. On the second floor, they have a ping pong table, a shuffleboard table, numerous air hockey tables, and two foosball tables. If you are a parent, you can come here to check on your kids, since the Hero Zone is just next to the Quiet Cove, a space that adults can relax. 

The Incred-i-Games section of the Hero Zone is a dynamic play area inspired by characters from Disney-Pixar's The Incredibles. Here you will find a themed inflatable obstacle course that transforms the arena into a family-friendly physical challenge. You should try it at least once!

There are some rules to come here that you should know, the most important is the 40” minimum height requirement and make sure to wear socks!

We consider this space on Disney Wish Incre-i-ble because it's just amazing to imagine you are living a game experience like this while you are on the high seas. Let’s remember one thing, sometimes we go on these adventures with our parents and we are not necessarily fans of the cruise life, so this is a good escape room!

Oh, and air conditioning is always a plus, of course.

We can book your next adventure now that you know that Disney Wish has a room for everyone! Send us a message, and let Famvia plan your next adventure aboard Disney Cruise Line. Until the next one, friend!

1 – Immersive Storytelling and Interactive Shows

“Family is at the heart of everything we do,” said Laura Cabo, portfolio creative executive, Walt Disney Imagineering. “When we set out to design the next generation of Disney cruise ships, we wanted to provide families with more opportunities than ever to make lasting memories together and to experience Disney storytelling in completely new ways. Whether it’s a new take on a guest favorite experience, like our signature sweets shop, or an immersive show in a first-of-its-kind venue like Luna and Hero Zone, there is no shortage of family fun aboard the Disney Wish.”

Review: Disney Wish

Reviewed by Susan B. Barnes

What is the line? Disney Cruise Line

Name of ship? Disney Wish

Passenger occupancy?  4,000

Itinerary? Three- and four-night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney Castaway Cay

Disney Wish , the fifth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, set sail in July 2022 from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and its private island, Castaway Cay, bringing with it all of the magic and hospitality we’ve come to expect from Disney.

Start out with the big picture—what is this cruise line known for?   Disney is all about the young and the young at heart, and that sentiment holds true for the entirety of the Disney Cruse Line fleet. From on-deck dance parties to dining with “Frozen” characters Elsa, Anna, and Olaf, and much more in between, passengers are invited to be a part of the all-ages fun on the Disney Wish .

Tell us about the ship in general. Disney Wish , which is slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy , was built in 2022 in Germany and arrived in Florida in June. The ship’s 1,254 staterooms—most of which have ocean views (70 percent of those have verandahs)—can accommodate up to 4,000 passengers. Three family restaurants, two fine dining spots, myriad casual dining spaces, and numerous bars and lounges are found throughout the Disney Wish .

One of the greatly anticipated highlights of the Disney Wish is AquaMouse, the first Disney attraction at sea that immerses guests in “The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse” by way of show scenes, and lighting and special effects, all in a 760-foot water ride that winds high above the ship’s upper decks.

Who is onboard? Board the Disney Wish and you’re sure to find everyone you can think of, from small families to multi-generational families to couples and groups of friends. Anyone and everyone who’s a fan of Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars will find their place on the ship.

Describe the cabins. My two friends and I stayed in a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, which has a queen bed and a single convertible sofa, as well as a single pull-down bed; plenty of space for three women. The verandah had two chairs and was a quiet and lovely spot to watch the sunrise (if we were up early!) and the sunset.

One of the impressive key design features on Disney Cruise Line’s ships is its signature split-bathroom concept: one with a sink and a toilet, the other with a sink and shower; all cabins have bathtubs. Another is the cabins’ wealth of storage space, which is especially useful in smaller spaces that can easily become cluttered.

In addition to the Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms with Verandahs, which can accommodate up to four guests, Disney Wish also has its Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandahs, Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms and Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms that can accommodate up to five guests each; and Standard Inside Staterooms that can accommodate up to four.

Disney Wish ’s 76 concierge staterooms and suites, the most of any Disney Cruise Line ship, include seven exclusive ocean-view rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bow; they’re the line’s first staterooms located above the ship’s bridge. Other staterooms in the class include Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah and Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom, both of which sleep up to five guests; the Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah and Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite with Extended Verandah, both of which feature two full bathrooms and separate bedrooms and can sleep up to five.

The Concierge 1-Story Royal Suite with Verandah encompasses 1,507 square feet with two main bedrooms with walk-in closets, three full bathrooms, living and dining areas, three 43-inch LCD flat screen TVs, and a private verandah with whirlpool. The suite sleeps up to six guests.

Concierge 2-Story Royal Suites with Verandahs are 1,759 square feet with two main bedrooms with walk-in closets, three full bathrooms, living and dining areas, three 43-inch LCD flat screen TVs, and private verandahs with whirlpool tubs. The suites sleep up to six guests.

For those really wanting to splash out, the first-of-its-kind, Moana-themed Concierge Wish Tower Suite is perched high on the Disney Wish ’s funnel above the upper decks, accessible by private elevator. Within the 1,966 square-foot suite are two bedrooms with walk-in closets, a children’s bedroom with bunkbeds, and a library that can be converted into a bedroom; four-and-a-half bathrooms; a two-story living area with floor-to-ceiling windows; and a grand staircase connecting the spaces. The Wish Tower Suite sleeps up to eight guests.

All concierge guests aboard the Disney Wish are invited to enjoy exclusive access to the Concierge Lounge and a VIP sun deck on Deck 13 with whirlpools and a wading pool.

Accessible staterooms and those equipped with communication features are available in nearly all of the ship’s categories.

Tell us about the crew.   “Be our guest” is a sentiment the crew aboard the Disney Wish takes to heart, and they go above and beyond to make you feel right at home from the moment you step on board. From the cabin stewards to the lifeguards at the pools and beaches to the dining, bars, activities, and island teams, everyone is ready to make your cruise a memorable one.

What food and drink options are available on board? There is absolutely no chance of going hungry on the Disney Wish , starting with the casual Marceline Market and its 10 tempting food stalls for casual dining for breakfast and lunch, and table-service at dinnertime.

Another casual option is Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods, an open-air dining concept on the upper decks with poolside-friendly barbecue, tacos and burritos, pizza, burgers and hot dogs, and ice cream. Elsewhere on the ship is a gelato and candy shop, specialty coffee bar, a place for beignets and plenty more.

One of Disney Cruise Line’s traditions is its family dining concept in which families rotate through the ships’ three main dining rooms. The Disney Wish features three new restaurants, starting with 1923, an elegant celebration of the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, combining Hollywood glamor with the Disney whimsey.

Diners are in the middle of the adventure in “Avengers: Quantum Encounter” in Worlds of Marvel, the first Marvel cinematic dining adventure featuring Ant-Man and The Wasp. Get ready for an interactive dining experience as you help keep the the Quantum Core out of the wrong hands.

The third dining experience on the Wish is a Nordic one—Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, featuring Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and, of course, Olaf. During dinner, live musical performances in-the-round will keep everyone entertained.

Another of Disney’s family dining concept that really resonates with guests is that your dedicated dining team travels with you to each restaurant, welcoming you by name to the table, bringing your favorite beverage without having to ask, and remembering any special considerations when it comes to food preparation.

To that end, the Disney Wish offers vegetarian and vegan options at every meal, including in the dining rooms and grab-and-go spots, and pays close attention to any allergies or restrictions. For example, one of my friends is vegan, and Melissa, the lead of our dining team, made sure to point out the dishes my friend could enjoy for dinner.

In addition to all of this, the Disney Wish has two fine dining restaurants for which you’ll want to be sure to make reservations: Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté by Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement. Both spaces are intimate and elegant, and dining in either—or both—will be memorable.

After dinner, or before—or, why not both!—visit any of the Disney Wish ’s bars and cocktail lounges. Of note, The Rose is a chic lounge at the entrance of Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté. Aside from its signature Rose cocktail (Komos Reposado Rosa, Grand Marnier Cuvee Louis Alexandre and Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rosé served in an elderflower-smoked dome), another cocktail to try is the light and refreshing Monkey Spritzer (Monkey 47, Cointreau Blood Orange, Cranberry and Evian Lemon Ginger).

For the best old fashioned on the ship, stop into the not-so-hidden bar at Hook’s Barbery and have the barber/bartender craft a glass for you. The bar at Hook’s also features bourbons, vintage whiskeys and ports, aged rums and other premium spirits, served in an intimate setting.

Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge is the hottest ticket on Disney Wish , and it’s not surprising because it’s the first of its kind. Step into the luxurious yacht-class spaceship and sip out-of-this-world cocktails, wines, beers, and zero-proof drinks. Or, go all-in and order the $5,000 Kaliburr Crystal, considered “the galaxy’s rarest and valuable cocktail.” While inside, you may just find yourself traveling past the Millennium Falcon on your way to Batuu, Coruscant, Mustafar, or Tatooine.

And that’s just a small taste of the bars and lounges on the Disney Wish !

Is there a spa on board and is it worth visiting? Find serenity at Senses Spa with private treatment rooms and spa villas for couples to enjoy. Traditional spa services like massages, facials, and skin-enhancing treatments are on the menu, along with acupuncture and pain management therapies.

Just off of the spa is an expansion of Disney Cruise Line’s signature Rainforest experience, now with the line’s first ice lounge, in addition to sensory spa showers, and sauna, steam  and dry rooms. A dedicated outdoor relaxation space with day beds and loungers complete the relaxing setting.

Tell us about the activities and entertainment.   It’s nearly impossible to be bored on the Disney Wish , what with the ship’s daily schedule of fun-filled activities, and all of the space to explore, including its six pools.

One space that’s new to Disney Cruise Line is Hero Zone, a futuristic sports arena that combines athleticism and imagination that hosts game-show-style family competitions. It’s also open for one-on-one games of foosball, air hockey, and even basketball on a full-size court.

Disney Uncharted Adventure is a first-of-its-kind interactive experience that takes guests throughout the ship, uncovering constellations that take the shapes of iconic Disney and Pixar characters. Using a spyglass that’s accessible by the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, Captain Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse guide players to adventures with characters including Moana, Tiana, Tinker Bell, and Nemo.

Disney once again brings its energetic, Broadway-style performances to the Disney Wish with two brand new shows. “Disney Seas the Adventure” is an original musical that’s performed on embarkation nights and features popular Disney and Pixar characters like Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Tiana, Elsa, Moana and Merida. The second new show performed in the Walt Disney Theatre is “Disney The Little Mermaid,” an original adaptation of the beloved 1989 Disney Animation film developed exclusively for the Disney Wish . A reimagined Disney Cruise Line favorite, “Disney’s Aladdin—A Musical Spectacular,” rounds out the trio of live stage shows. In addition to its on-stage performances, the Disney Wish has two 80-plus seat state-of-the-art movie theaters, Wonderland Cinema and Never Land Cinema, that screen classic and first-run films from Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar, and more. The two theaters are the first in the cruise industry to feature Dolby Atmos 3D audio to enhance the movie-watching experience.

How was the experience for families? Families are the stars of the show on Disney Cruise Line, and it’s no different on the Disney Wish, with dedicated clubs for kids of all ages, starting with the Disney’s Oceaneer Club for kids ages 3 to 12. After their parents check them in, kids can ride the slide from the Grand Hall on deck 3 to the club on deck 2. There they’ll find the Marvel Super Hero Academy, New Adventures at Star Wars: Cargo Bay, Fairytale Hall, the Walt Disney Imagineering Lab, and A Celebration of Exploration at Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck for the youngest sailors.

Edge and Vibe is a space for kids 11 to 17 to chill on their own. Tweens ages 11 to 14 can hang out Edge, a space inspired by a New York City loft. Vibe is where teens 14 to 17 can watch movies, play games and make the Parisian artist’s loft-inspired space their own.

It’s A Small World Nursery provides baby-sitting services for kids ages 6 months to 3 years old, complete with play room with favorite Disney characters and even a toy train.

All kids’ clubs are overseen by Disney-trained counselors.

Where did it sail and how were the excursions? Did anything stand out? Our three-night itinerary sailed from Port Canaveral to Castaway Cay, Disney’s exclusive private island in the Bahamas. The expansive beaches are lined with plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas to accommodate everyone onboard the ship, and complimentary open-air dining spots and (not-complimentary) bars are at-the-ready for eating and sipping tropical umbrella drinks. There’s even exclusive Castaway Cay souvenirs available in the on-island shops.

Activities on Castaway Cay vary from snorkeling and a 5k running and walking course to boat rentals and Pelican Plunge, a 2,400 square foot elating platform complete with water-play area and two waterslides.

Adults (18+) who are ready for some quiet time can ride the tram to Serenity Bay with its own dining spot and bar, and open-air massage cabanas for even more relaxation.

Are there any stand out sustainability or green initiatives about this cruise?   On the environmental front, Disney Wish is powered by liquefied natural gas, making it nearly 30 percent more fuel efficient and reducing its greenhouse gases emissions by approximately 20 percent. Other ways the ship minimizes its environmental impact: biodegradable straws; washable dinnerware instead of single-use plastic utensils; and recycling condensation from a/c units to fresh water used in onboard laundry facilities and cleaning the ship’s outer decks that will save approximately 7.5 million gallons every year.

Anything we missed? For all of the family and adult-designed fun on the Disney Wish , the decor of the ship itself is elegant, starting in the Grand Hall and cascading down hallways and staircases. More than 4,400 works of art hang on the walls, and the ambient music gently complements the design.

Once you book a cruise on the Disney Wish , everything is taken care of, from transportation to and from the port, to every last comfy detail in your stateroom, freeing up your time to make lasting memories.

The Incredi-Games is part of Hero Zone, which is an interactive sports arena on board Disney Wish. Families can take on the Incredi-Games together as if they were really Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack.

There are several challenges you’ll take on as a team. First, you’ll use Mr. Incredible’s Power Punch to knock down a “brick” wall. Then, you’ll take on Rocky and his raccoon friends from The Incredibles 2 in Jack-Jack’s Whack-a-Rac.

Elastigirl’s Stretch-O-Rama will test your flexibility, while Dash’s Mad Dash Mayhem will let you show off your speed. Then, you’ll soar across a lava field in Violet’s Force Field Swing, before finishing the course by sliding down Frozone’s Ice Slide.

A trip through the Incredi-Games course promises to be a fun time, but the obstacles aren’t the only fun part of the experience. You’ll do it all to the tune of fast-paced music, with hosts and special effects to boot.

There’s also plenty of balcony space so other cruisers can watch your family as they take on the Incredi-Games. And when you’re finished, you can take their spot and watch them in return.
