When you’re craving the comforts of home, make a stop at the Moana-themed Disney Wish Cove Café.
You’ve had a Frozen dining adventure and eaten your way around the Worlds of Marvel. But sometimes a cup of coffee just hits the spot. Especially with a view like this one!
Keep scrolling for a look inside this adults-only café and lounge and find out why our CEO calls it “A coffee connoisseur’s wish come true!”
Where Is The Disney Wish Cove Café?

You’ll find this adults-only, poolside lounge on Deck 13, Aft of the Disney Wish. It’s conveniently located next to Quiet Cove Pool and far from the ship’s family activities. Ahhh … sweet serenity.

🌺 WDW Magazine Review: “The seating area has hints of Moana-theming and I found it way more welcoming and inviting than the one [on the Disney Dream],” says our social media coordinator, Aly.

Compared to the Cove Cafés on the other Disney Cruise Line ships, the Disney Wish Cove Café has a smaller indoor seating area. But there’s a good reason for that:
🌺 WDW Magazine Review: According to our CEO, Stephanie, “All your favorite espresso drinks can also be found at several other onboard cafe/bars like The Bayou, Marceline Market Cafe, Wishing Star Cafe and Enchanted Sword Cafe! So when you want something quick to-go, head there, otherwise go to Cove for a relaxing, indulgent sit-down with your favorite brew.”

But outside? It’s a different story. The stunning and spacious outdoor seating area is perfect for relaxing with a Cold Brew Cocktail. (Keep scrolling for the full menu!)
REVIEW: Disney Wish Cove Café

The Disney Wish Cove Café is the perfect spot for adult guests to enjoy all the caffeinated comforts of their home coffee shop … at sea! If you’ve ever been to a Cove Café on the other Disney cruise ships, you’ll find a more elevated experience on the Wish.
Because our team was attending a special media preview, crowds were lighter than what you can expect on a full sailing. With the indoor ordering area much smaller than expected, our team wondered whether this will lead to some long line-ups while waiting for your morning coffee. So you may need to keep that in mind before you make your first trip there!
However, Danny says that this really isn’t the place to grab a quick cup of coffee in the morning as you head out to pool deck. The Cove Café aboard the Disney Wish is best enjoyed when you take the time to sit and savor your beverage. It takes time to prepare each order, but the quality and attention to detail make your beverage well worth the wait.

Our team sampled the latte (with beautiful Disney Wish logo latte art thanks to the café’s Ripple Maker), iced matcha, Turkish-style coffee, and Vietnamese coffee. Prices are comparable to what you’d expect at your local Starbucks.
Surprisingly, there were not as many milk options as the team expected (especially when compared to their experiences at other Cove Cafés). Then again, our team was sailing on a media preview cruise and the lack of alternative milk options may have been a supply issue at the time.
If you’re looking to grab a pastry or other baked goods to go with your coffee, you may be disappointed. When our team sailed on the media preview, there was no pastry case.
But back to the main event: Coffee. The quality of the coffee as well as the brewing and bean options, get an A+ from our team. Not only that, but the café serves their international-style coffees in matching traditional glassware.
It’s that kind of thoughtful attention to detail that makes the Cove Café worthy of a spot on your cruise itinerary.

🌺 WDW Magazine Review: “A coffee connoisseur’s wish come true!” says our CEO, Stephanie Shuster.
The Disney Wish Cove Café serves coffee and tea by day and coffee-infused cocktails and wine by night. (There’s a full bar, so you can order standard cocktails as well.)
Just because it’s Moana-themed, doesn’t mean it’s for kids. This is a serene, adults-only retreat. Unlike its counterparts on the other ships, the Disney Wish Cove Café serves top-shelf liquors (including a respectable selection of scotch, bourbon and cognac) as well as cigars.

The options here are endless, but the real stars of the menu are the international-style coffees and special brewing methods.
🌺 WDW Magazine Review: Take it from Danny. This Cove Café is for serious coffee connoisseurs: “The menu is geared towards the connoisseur/coffee nerd who actually has an opinion about things like pour-over vs. extraction methods or luongo vs. ristretto espresso shots.”

Thanks to Disney for hosting us during the Christening Cruise of the Disney Wish. As part of a media preview we were able to enjoy a 3-night sailing, tour the facilities, speak with Imagineers and Cast Members who brought the ship to life, visit Castaway Cay, and enjoy many of the onboard offerings. #DisneyCruise #DisneyWish #DisneyChristening
