Disney Wish: Review of Stateroom 12526 (Concierge One-Bedroom Suite)

by Gunes, posted in Cruises

Sailing aboard the Disney Wish is an experience in itself, but staying in a Concierge One-Bedroom Suite elevates the voyage to an entirely different level. For travelers considering splurging on concierge level, a one-bedroom suite offers a compelling mix of luxury, comfort, and convenience—along with a few design quirks worth noting. When my family sailed on the Wish, we stayed in stateroom 12526. From the moment I stepped into our suite, I was struck by how bright, elegant, and modern the space felt. Disney has clearly moved away from the darker, more traditional nautical styling found on their older ships. The Wish's staterooms embrace a lighter color palette, sleek lines, and layouts that feel both upscale and functional.

The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve is the perfect hotel if you're seeking luxury at a great value and want to be well-positioned to visit the Disney parks. It's also a fantastic place to stay before or after a cruise from Port Canaveral. In fact, my family stayed for one night at this recently-built, modern hotel prior to our cruise on the Disney Wish. We loved our spacious suite and the serene ambiance of the hotel (we never found it to be crowded).

Looking to elevate your Disneyland Resort experience? Then, consider upgrading to a club level room at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Club level rooms have exclusive access to the Veranda, a lounge and terrace on the top floor of the hotel. Food and beverages (including alcohol!) are offered all day long in this bright and airy space. The terrace is also the perfect place to watch Disneyland Park’s nightly fireworks, which we did one night of our stay during spring break 2022.
