National Geographic channel will debut Making the Disney Wish: Disney’s Newest Cruise Ship at 9 PM on December 24, 2022.
At the helm of this first-of-its-kind Disney Cruise Line documentary are National Geographic filmmakers Chad Cohen (director, writer and producer) and Bethany Jones (producer and writer) in partnership with Disney Yellow Shoes.
Not much has else has been revealed about the Making of the Disney Wish documentary special other than this brief description found in a cable company’s DVR scheduling guide:
At a shipyard on Germany’s North Sea, a marvel of modern engineering is taking shape; hundreds of construction workers, engineers, architects, designers, animators, cast and crew are transforming 144,000 tons of steel.
From what I’ve been told, a small documentary filming crew was onboard to document the construction of the Disney Wish while the ship was in Germany, The Netherlands, and the transatlantic crossing.
Check out the teaser trailer here which was included in the Disney Parks Blog posting on December 20th.
I am not sure if, or when Making the Disney Wish: Disney’s Newest Cruise Ship will arrive on Disney+ or Hulu (Seems Disney+ would be an ideal spot). I reached out to Disney+ and National Geographic earlier this month, but I’ve not heard back. Not the most ideal time to debut this special, but it will pair nicely with Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade which will include a spot filmed last Friday onboard the Disney Wish.
