The centerpiece of every ship is a signature magical pumpkin tree.

You’ll find it in the center of the atrium lobby, and each tree has orange, white, and yellow spooky jack-o-lanterns and a life-like face carved into it.

The brand new ship, the Disney Wish will not only have the signature pumpkin but in the Cinderella Grand Hall (the atrium of the ship), a brand new tree will be revealed. Featuring lighter bark, branches that twist and turn, and a smiling face carved into it. 

The lore behind this tree is that one day, with the help of a wishing star it grew beautiful gourds. 

The tree’s name is Boo, and one of Boo’s special pumpkins was used to grant the most magical wish of all when a certain princess named Cinderella needed a chariot to the ball, that special pumpkin was used the make her wish come true!
