How to Watch the Disney Believe Livestream
The reveal will be hosted on the Disney Parks social channels rather than on a Disney Cruise Line account. Viewers can find the stream on the official Disney Parks YouTube channel as well as the Disney Parks pages on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
The 4:30 p.m. ET start places the broadcast in the early afternoon for viewers on the West Coast. Disney has not announced how long the presentation will run or whether a replay will be posted afterward.
What Disney Has Already Shared About the Disney Believe
Several details about the ship were announced in August during the Horizons: D23 Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
The ship’s Grand Hall, the central atrium found on every Wish-class vessel, will be themed to Disney Animation’s Moana films. Its focal point will be a bronze statue of Moana with Pua and Heihei, set among Polynesian-inspired artisan finishes.
On the exterior, sculptures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear will appear on the stern, writing the ship’s name with oversized yellow crayons in lettering modeled on the Toy Story logo. The bow will feature hand-painted filigree artwork of Tinker Bell, surrounded by silhouettes of Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, and other characters from Peter Pan.
Disney has also said venues and entertainment aboard the ship will draw on Encanto, Frozen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Moana, and The Little Mermaid. A full rundown of the franchises tied to the ship so far is available in Chip and Company’s earlier coverage of the lineup of stories coming to the Disney Believe.
The Disney Believe is the fourth Wish-class ship, following the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and Disney Destiny, and is expected to debut in late 2027. It is under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, where the first of three gigablocks, the ship’s midsection, floated out on September 18.

What the Reveal Is Expected to Cover
Disney has identified four areas the livestream will cover: the ship’s homeport, its itineraries, new venues, and entertainment. None of those details have been announced yet.
For travelers, the homeport and itineraries will determine where the ship sails from and which destinations it visits. Disney Cruise Line currently operates two private destinations in The Bahamas, Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Disney has not said whether the new ship’s sailings will include either stop.
Still Unannounced
Disney has not yet shared a maiden voyage date beyond the late 2027 window, and it has not said when bookings for the Disney Believe will open or whether booking information will be released during the livestream. Booking information for current Disney Cruise Line sailings is available on the official Disney Cruise Line website.
Chip and Company will cover the announcements from the Disney Believe reveal on October 7. Check back after the livestream for the latest details on the ship’s homeport, itineraries, venues, and entertainment.
