The Disney Wish cruise ship also features a Worlds of Marvel cinematic dining experience, another new type of interactive dinner show. Guests participate in an exciting “Avengers: Quantum Encounter” mission while dining on dishes inspired by real and fictional settings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Both of the themed dinner shows are part of Disney Cruise Line’s unique rotational dining system where passengers dine in a different themed restaurant each evening. The servers accompany their guests to each of the three main dining venues on board Disney cruise ships.
On the Disney Wish, passengers also dine at the elegant, Old Hollywood-inspired 1923 restaurant, which is named after the year The Walt Disney Studios was founded.
This summer Disney Cruise Line announced details of more themed dinner shows coming to its new Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny ships.
