Disney Believe stateroom themes

New papercut-style artwork will bring Disney stories into the cabins. Attractions Magazine reported that a Disney representative confirmed these deck assignments during the October 8 media preview:

Zootopia 2 artwork was among the samples shown. The Toy Story offering includes seven special oceanview concierge rooms with floor-to-ceiling views.

If a particular theme matters to your family, let your advisor know. We’ll verify the individual room details before treating a theme as part of your cabin selection.

Concierge guests will have an Alice in Wonderland-inspired lounge and private sun deck.

Royal suite themes include The Little Mermaid in the Royal Reef suites and Beauty and the Beast in the Royal Rose suites. The two-story Believe Tower Suite will draw inspiration from Magic Kingdom and sleep eight.
