Disney Wish Deck Plans - Overview

This is what I'm seeing with the CGI rendering of the ship -- there's the usual walkway area on deck 4 underneath the lifeboats, then it looks like it goes up on both ends to deck 5. Whether that is a complete walkway...can't tell yet.
to me, it doesn't look like it connects in the aft. On deck 4, it can't get around the Marvel dining room. On deck 5, I don't think it wraps all the way around the Frozen dining room.
 
I don't see space for the sports deck (basketball court).

I'm guessing that's what the Hero Zone is going to be. On the website, it says Game on! Action-packed physical challenges and game-show-style competitions can be found at this groundbreaking recreation space where families are invited to play together. Sports court, game floor, playground, movie theater—Hero Zone is all of those and more! Are you up to the challenge?

Looking at floor plans, it looks like Hero Zone might be an enclosed space. It's on decks 12 and 13.

Directly adjacent to the adult dining spaces. ☹️
 
I only saw one laundry area and that was on deck 8. Really?
My thought also, but DW reminded me that the Wish will be doing 3 and 4 night cruises (in the main, with an occasional exception, like the MV). They must figure that most passengers will not be spending valuable cruise tome doing laundry. In fact, there is probably usage data for the laundry rooms on the Dream compared to the Fantasy. It will be interesting to see if this changes on the subsequent ships in this class.

That would be pretty awful forward-planning. Ever since the Magic entered service, the first-of-class has always done the 3- and 4-night cruises before moving onto something else. If this is an actual factor into deciding on the number of laundries, they're creating the future hassle of installing such facilities if/when a new class enters service and the Wish is sent on different itineraries.

They could easily have something already plumbed and ready to go in that case. But if it's something they don't have to maintain for the next 10 years, that's a win for DCL.

The dream was the first in its class and has never moved on to longer cruises.
 
It could be a situation like the elevators. On the current ships, there are 3 banks of elevators with 4 elevators each for a total of 12 elevators. On the Wish, it looks like only 2 banks of elevators, but there appear to be 8 elevators per bank for a total of 16. So, fewer locations, but more total elevators.

The laundry space on 8 looks very big. It’s possible there will be as many or more washers and dryers just centralized in one spot.

I think it is going to be interesting to see how large the laundry room on the Wish will be [assuming that space is actually a laundry room and not a laundry "service" space].

The maximum space allocated is the width across that midspace and upto 6 staterooms long, though it is not clear if the laundry gets all of that space or not; but that would be the max it would appear to be able to have.

For comparison, on the Fantasy/Dream, the largest laundry room is on deck 9 forward and runs about the middle width across [not sure if it goes the whole width across or not, but it is fairly deep... not that I have spent a lot of time in it or anything ;-) ] and is one stateroom high. It has 7 washers and 7 dryers.

Conceivably if the Wish laundry space has all of that white space to use, it looks like it is about 6 x the space of Fantasy/Dream's largest laundry room. Fantasy/Dream have a total of 26 washers and 40 dryers each across their 7 laundry rooms [one with as few as 2w/3d]. Depending on how that Wish space is laid out they could manage to come in somewhere not horribly far off #-wise, though space will also be needed for a bunch of irons and such.

A trend that some new hotels are apparently doing now is to do away with the iron and ironing board in the room and have a (handheld) garment steamer instead - the refurbished Wilderness Lodge hotel rooms are one example. I wonder if we may see something like that as well in the laundry room - less space needed [maybe have steamers and irons].
 
Oh it sounds like it might be quite big! Thanks for the perspective. While it won't be super convenient for many of the staterooms, it might be great to have the machines all together. Because with separated laundries, there might be a washer available in one laundry room and a dryer nobody's using in another. This way, they're all together and if there's an open machine you can find it and use it!
 
I love going to the movies on the ship (there's no movie theater where I live) and I am skeptical about the two smaller Wonderland Cinema and Never Land Cinema.
The classics have a movie theater with a capacity of 275, and the Dream class ships have a movie theater with a capacity of 400.
The two move theaters on the Wish are reported to have a capacity of 100 each.

Now the seats are small and close together, so perhaps they've got a better setup with more room and better seats.
Also, worried about the screen size.

Then you also have the Hero Zone: Sports court, playground, game floor, movie theatre.

Anyway. love looking at the deck plans.
Did you notice that the Walt Disney Theater has three levels!

I was wondering if this was going to be a laundry service as well, where you can drop off and pick up your clothes. I know you can pay them to do your laundry now, but I think they pick them up and drop them off at your stateroom? This would save a lot of footwork for the CMs. I imagine that guest services probably fields numerous calls a day about machines not working/taking people's money or people leaving clothes for excessive amounts of time. If this area was staffed then it would eliminate that. It will be interesting to see.
