⚓️Thank you for following along as I previewed the Disney Treasure. I can honestly say that Disney has knocked it out of the park with the Disney Treasure.
🍻The adult lounges were a hit and are perfect for Disney Parks Fans!
Here's a quick run down at the new adult lounges on the Disney Treasure Cruise Ship. We love the Jungle Cruise-themed lounge named 🪝Skipper Society with fantastic live music, a 👻Haunted Mansion Parlor themed after the beloved ride, and an immersive 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea lounge - 🏉🏀Periscope Pub where you can catch live sports events. Our favorite, of course, was the Haunted Mansion Parlor. The shows in the parlor run on a loop of about 15 minutes and are so awesome! The slower time in the Haunted Mansion Parlor was around 6PM when everyone was at a show or at dinner.
🍷For a more upscale experience, we love the Rose Lounge located outside of Palo and Enchanté. The views are amazing and it is a wonderful place to gather for a cocktail and enjoy the setting.
🎼Don’t miss the S**t Cat Lounge with some very unique drink options.
👱‍♂️For the kids under 12 there is a slide right from the atrium to the kids club! All of the kids' clubs were huge and amazing!
🎩Dining at 1923 is back on the Disney Treasure, where California's Asian, European, and South American influences blend for a unique culinary experience aboard the Disney Treasure.
💃For your first dinner at the Plaza de Coco Dinner Show you will join Miguel and his familia in Mariachi Plaza for a colorful, music-filled journey that continues their story where it left off in the film.
💃For your second dinner at the Plaza de Coco Dinner Show, you will enjoy an all-new experience when Miguel reunites with his great-great-grandparents Hector and Mama Imelda. Our favorites at this restaurant were the enchiladas and the churros.
⚡️At the Worlds of Marvel restaurant, you will not only have the Avengers: Quantum Encounter dining experience, similar to the one on the Wish, but you will also get the Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix show that features Rocket and Groot. If you love the soundtrack from Guardians of the Galaxy, you are in for a treat.
*It's important to note that both of these restaurants offer two different experiences.
🌟On this ship we found our shining star! Moana is the Belle of the Ball and her show "The Tale of Moana" is a must see! I cried a few times and the talent on this show is like none I have seen! Arrive early so you are sure to get a good seat.
🌟As for the other shows, they were amazing as well! "Beauty and the Beast" and "Seas the Adventure" were such a nice addition to the line up!

Welcome home to the "W" family! They fell in love with Disney Cruising on their 13-Night Westbound Transatlantic Cruise from Southampton ending in Fort Lauderdale!

14/12/2024

🌺Last night we got to see the most amazing show at sea - “Moana”! 🇲🇽Then we ate at Plaza de Coco Dinner Show. We were transported to the colorful plaza of Santa Cecilia during this Coco-themed theatrical dining experience featuring the flavors of Mexico.

🚢Today we docked at beautiful Castaway Cay! I took some time to explore the ship! Let me know if you have any questions!

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ is almost here!

Time truly flies when you’re having fun – or dreaming about a Disney trip! And, *Mickey Mouse voice* oh boy! is there a lot to look forward to in 2025 at The Most ✨Magical✨ Place On Earth. From stage shows and attractions to a nighttime parade, there's something for the whole family to enjoy.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
🌟“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After”
This delightfully wicked show will keep guests on their toes when the most fiendish of foes, Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook and Maleficent, break through the glass to take center stage and captivate guests with live performances full of witty humor and mischievous charm. Guests may even get a glimpse of a few more of their favorites through the magical mirrors as dozens of the most infamous evildoers try to join in the delightfully diabolical fun.

🌟“The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”
Guests should grab their dinglehoppers and get ready, because it’s time to shell-ebrate with “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.” This summer, we’ll all be part of Ariel’s world as the Walt Disney Animation Studios classic “The Little Mermaid” comes to life on stage! We’re talking all-new sets, a vibrant cast of puppets, live performers, and stunning visuals coming together to take us under the sea.

EPCOT
🌟Spaceship Earth Lounge
Paying tribute to the most beautiful EPCOT icon, our favorite geodesic sphere will be home to a whole new experience in late spring, welcoming an elevated lounge to the list of things that make it absolutely stunning! This elegant lounge, honoring the intertwined history of Spaceship Earth and EPCOT itself, is set to celebrate the legacy of the icon’s past while admiring its future.

🌟Test Track presented by General Motors
Guests should get ready to feel the thrill of the open road, the wind in their hair, and nothing but adventure ahead! Test Track presented by General Motors is making its return lap late summer 2025. Walt Disney Imagineering has been working with General Motors on an all-new storyline – guests will want to be all buckled in for an adventure. Guests might even see cars returning to the track (for testing...at Test Track...nice) with their new look early in the year!

Magic Kingdom Park
🌟“Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away”
It’s time for a new fabulous nighttime parade! “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away" is coming to light up summer 2025! This new evening spectacle invites Magic Kingdom Park guests to dream the night away with a shiny new blend of nostalgic Disney storytelling and glowing innovation, continuing the legacy of dazzling nighttime entertainment that holds a special place in the hearts of so many.

🌟Pirates of the Caribbean-Inspired Tavern
Tis time to prepare yerselves for the swashbucklin' world of adventure as all bandits and buccaneers-to-be are invited to join our jolly crew at a new Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired tavern. Makin’ landfall in Adventureland in late 2025, this yonder lounge will welcome pirates of all ages with a sea-worthy selection of grogs and grub, and there may be more than a few mysterious and magical surprises in store!

🌟Animal Kingdom Theme Park
“Zootopia: Better Zoogether!”
Guests should hold onto their hats (and their tails, feathers, or ears!) because we want to remind them about the all-new 4D production coming to the Tree of Life Theater in winter 2025 - "Zootopia: Better Zoogether!" Guests will want to herd the whole family together to join Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde and more for a new story that will make them want to clap their hands.

🌟Last Chance for DINOSAUR
While guests are visiting, they should make sure to “go get that dino” at DINOSAUR. We’ve previously shared this attraction will be closing to make way for the new Tropical Americas land – 2025 is the year to visit before it goes extinct!

🌟Disney After Hours
Guests should imagine their stay with tickets to Disney After Hours! That’s right –the favorite after-dark event is back in 2025! With delicious snacks like ice cream, popcorn and select bottled refreshments included with a ticket, this after-hours event is the cherry on top of a Walt Disney World vacay!

🌟More fun
Amid all the excitement for new offerings in 2025, I can’t forget to mention beloved Disney’s fan-favorite festivals and hard-ticketed events! From the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and everything in between, there are more than 200 days of themed, seasonal and limited-time magic on the horizon.
