Disney Believe Theming

The Disney Believe is joining the Wish fleet which holds about 4,000 passengers per boat. Each ship is unique in its storytelling style theming that runs throughout the class, with each ships theming shaping guest experiences. So far the fleet has:

• The Disney Dream with Peter Pan and Captain Hook at stern is adventure themed.

• The Disney Destiny features Spiderman and is heroes and villains themed.

Just as these three ships have their own unique motifs and storytelling theme, so too will the Disney Believe. Her motif is going to be promise and possibilities, but Disney have not yet revealed how this will be captured in the storytelling theme of the boat or who the stern character will be.
