PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. — Disney Cruise Line’s new ship Disney Wish sailed into Port Canaveral for the first time Monday morning to the delight of fans let into Jetty Park to witness its arrival.
The first new ship in the DCL fleet in more than 10 years arrived to its new home port around 5 a.m. sailing by hundreds of fans who either woke up early, or didn’t sleep at all for the ship’s predawn arrival. With lightning in the background and under a moonlit cloudy sky, the pier was eerily silent despite the lines of people. The waves crashing along the pier were only interrupted by the sound of a buzzing drone flying overhead, but then the hoots and cheers of crew on board as the ship sailed by were met in kind with hollers of welcome from the crowd.
Then the ship blew its horn to the tune of “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Cinderella and the crowd shouted even more.
