Sail Away Cruise Podcast

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to experience the Disney Wish Concierge, this episode is a must-listen! We’re sitting down with Brian, a lifelong Disney fan with deep roots in Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line history, as he shares his first-ever sailing on the Disney Wish — and his very first time staying in Concierge level. Brian’s been part of the Disney magic for years — from countless park visits and past cruises to behind-the-scenes experiences most fans only dream about. But this trip was something entirely new. Onboard the Disney Wish, he finally had the chance to see what life is like when you sail Concierge, and his review covers it all: the highs, the surprises, and whether the upgrade is truly worth the price tag. From the moment he stepped aboard, Brian was struck by the ship’s stunning design, themed storytelling, and that signature Disney attention to detail. But what really stood out was the Concierge experience — starting with a private check-in at Port Canaveral, a dedicated lounge, and an exclusive sundeck with ocean views that feel straight out of a Disney fairytale. He shares what it’s like to unwind in the Concierge stateroom, including the “perfect bed” that so many guests rave about — yes, it lives up to the hype! From soft linens to the layout and balcony views, Brian gives a detailed look at what makes this room one of the most comfortable places at sea. Of course, no Disney Cruise is complete without the special touches that make it pure magic — and Brian dives into them all. You’ll hear his take on Pirate Night, complete with fireworks, live shows, and the over-the-top energy that takes over the entire ship. He also talks about the ship’s dining experiences, from upscale rotational dining to casual favorites, plus a few hidden gems only Concierge guests get to enjoy. Then there’s Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island paradise — the ultimate highlight of any Disney Cruise. Brian gives his firsthand account of relaxing on the beach, enjoying the upgraded amenities available to Concierge guests, and soaking up that signature Disney service in the sun. Throughout the episode, Peter, Alyse and Brian also discuss how the Disney Wish compares to other Disney ships like the Dream and Fantasy, and whether the Concierge experience changes how you see cruising altogether. They share real-world advice on who should consider upgrading, what to expect from the onboard atmosphere, and how the Wish is perfect for both families and adults-only getaways.
