    Disney Wish vs Disney Fantasy

    Wish is Disney's newest class (2022) with the AquaMouse water coaster and Frozen dining. Fantasy is the 7-night Caribbean specialist and a longtime family favorite. Both are excellent, very different vacations.

    Marissa's Pick

    Winner: Tie - picks itself by itinerary

    Disney Fantasy for 7-night Caribbean itineraries. Disney Wish for 3-5 night Bahamas getaways with the newest attractions. They're built for different trips, not really competing.
