Last Friday, the world got a first look at the newest Disney Cruise Line ship when the beautiful Disney Wish completed a major milestone known as “float out.”

During this momentous event, the Disney Wish touched water for the very first time, then made a grand exit from the enclosed building dock where it has been constructed.

To say this was a wish come true would be an understatement.

Disney celebrated the occasion in true Disney style with fireworks, music and even a special appearance by Captain Minnie Mouse herself … and today, I am so excited to share this special moment with you, too!

Check out the video below to witness the incredible “float out” of the Disney Wish:.

Amazing, right?

It actually took about five hours to flood the building dock, followed by a breathtaking 90-minute exit as the Disney Wish sailed out with only 3 feet of clearance on either side.

Can you believe that?! I would not want to be in charge of that job! 😂

Years ago when I was a truck driver I had to deal with tight spaces but wow-zers!

That takes it to a whole new level!

Not only was this the debut of the completed exterior, but it was also the grand reveal of its signature stern character statue — at last, Rapunzel saw the light! — and the first Disney attraction at sea, AquaMouse, towering over the upper decks.

Disney has announced that the ship will remain alongside the pier for several weeks before its next important milestone, when it is be conveyed stern-first down the River Ems to the port of Eemshaven, Netherlands.

In the meantime, they will continue construction and interior outfitting to bring all the amazing new experiences aboard this enchanted ship to life.
