Disney Believe Reveal | Disney Cruise Line Ship Announcement
Disney Cruise Line's next ship got a full half-hour introduction, and the Disney Parks recording of the live reveal reached nearly 150,000 views in its first seven hours. A new upload on this channel usually gathers around 12,500 in a whole day. The four short teasers posted alongside it, one each for the Encanto show, the Little Mermaid lounge, the Frozen restaurant and a guessing game, are each still in the thousands.
The Disney Believe is billed for late 2027, and cruise director Trent Hitchcock opens the show before the maiden voyage date is announced. The chapters then walk the ship nearly deck by deck: Moana and Big Hero 6 cafés, a Monsters, Inc. kids' club, a Zootopia entertainment venue, Buzz and Woody on the stern and Tinker Bell on the bow. There is Inside Out candy, a Little Mermaid piano bar and Oaken's Table, a family dinner built around Frozen.
The stage gets the longest stretch. Susan Egan sings "When Will My Life Begin?" for a segment on Tangled: The Musical, and the reveal closes on what the channel calls the first stage adaptation of Encanto, with a medley of its songs.
In the comments, the Disney Wish keeps coming up. Several viewers who have sailed on it say Oaken's Table sounds a lot like the Wish's Frozen restaurant, Arendelle, and ask why the same films return from ship to ship. Others have a lighter game going: spotting voices they know from a Disney cruise channel they watch, or pointing out that the first sailing falls on their birthday. Encanto is the part the comments name most often.

so very excited & even more special is the first sailing is on my birthday💫
@sandy-pandySee it on YouTubeLOL, the fact the Mammoth Club was called out in the first 4 min had me rolling. I'm like I know them, lol. I don't, I just watch their channel.
@TravelFan24See it on YouTubeIt truly is a "Wish Class" ship, as in, I "WISH" they didn't have the exact same restaurants. "Oaken's Table is different than Arendelle!" No, it's not. I know the next class is smaller than this, but I hope the themes are consistent ship to ship (water, villains, heroes, classic, pixar) and they shouldn't overlap. We just did Wish last year. We're not doing this ship.
