Might be that the original concept was something more interactive as you described, but they had to scale back their ambitions with the pandemic delays.I'm not sure what lead me to think it, but I was really expecting that the wands would interact with shipboard elements, kind of like SotMK, or the MagiQuest wands at Great Wolf Lodge, or the wands at Universal's Wizarding World, or even the MagicBand+ and the 50th anniversary statues.
There are several times where you're asked to take out your wands and wish for things, so I guess they're 'interactive' in that way, but I was thinking that they'd at least interact with the Enchanted Artwork or something. I probably just assumed it based on all those other interactive wand applications being out there. Seems like it would have been a no-brainer for Disney to incorporate the wishing wands in this way.
There will be 1 or 2 cast members handing them out in the Grand/Great/Don'trememberwhattheycalleditwhenwewereon Hall. They only seemed to seek out kids to give them to but you can ask for one and they should give it to you.So are these given out as you board? Just adults, but I have a Disney Princess guest room and would love to add that with Cinderella's Royal Table wand.
We just got off Wish on Friday. We didn’t know what they were, so DW asked about it and got a pretty snarky, eye-rolly “well they’re meant for kids but if you really want one…” so we said forget it. Now I wish I had insisted so we could give it to our granddaughter. Oh well.are they given to only the children or to everyone?
I will have absolutely no problem telling them that I would like one. Adult or not!We just got off Wish on Friday.
