Photo TR: Adam discovers the Disney Treasure

P. 2: Sea day! Food, fun and Disney details!

Recommended Posts

After having sailed on the Disney Dream across Europe over the Summer, we were excited to have the chance to experience something entirely new... The Disney Treasure launched late in 2024, taking alternating seven night sailings to the Eastern Caribbean and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral, Florida. Along our sailing, we would have the chance to visit our favorite Disney's Castaway Cay as well as the new Disney's Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point in Eleuthera, Bahamas. 

As big fans of the Disney Wish (I've got another report to share from our somewhat-recent sailing there soon), we excited to see how the Disney Treasure would be similar and different from her sister ship...

This is never a bad sight to start off your day!

002.thumb.jpg.6b514a89f64f5685e6e3efe1047f8e4e.jpg

Given that our sailing was at the tail end of the year, the port (and several of our ports of call) were decorated for the holidays.

003.thumb.jpg.9725f722f6a0743477a80b09cb7286ca.jpg

The Grand Hall on the Disney Treasure is inspired by Disney's Aladdin.

004.thumb.jpg.40e193c0674570497a3a46e3e3b817ec.jpg

I spent a lot of time staring across this space.

005.thumb.jpg.87182bab543aa787cc3ac76af89d26cc.jpg

We love exploring the ship during the embarkation day "open house" period, as it allows you to visit spaces that are primary closed off to adults and non-paying guests (depending on the venue) before the ship has left the port. The it's a small world nursery is an adorable example of this.

015.thumb.jpg.a5f72545c42741dbe3eaf7b0d4d57d5f.jpg

Presented in the classic Mary Blair style, there is a lot of character to take in... This moving train that circles the ceiling of the venue is one of my favorite details.

006.thumb.jpg.ef2805d0d470c586b9565fe12fe4fa7d.jpg

Mickey & Minnie's Captain's Deck is a nice play space that can be annexed into either the Disney's Oceaneer's Club or the it's a small world nursery throughout the cruise, enabling children from either age group to have a chance to enjoy all that is found within.

013.thumb.jpg.e063d9e890a70c68fc25f0c64038450c.jpg

The Walt Disney Imagineering Lab in Disney's Oceaneer's Club is one of my favorite youth spaces in the fleet, and of course they have those amazing handwashing stations here as well.

007.thumb.jpg.8d376ebc4098d0a5cf15b4b5e1768971.jpg

The Imagineering Lab has an interactive simulator which allows younger guests to ride virtual versions of classic Disney attractions.

008.thumb.jpg.c770e775556c993736dca85b2210df61.jpg

The space is filled with detail and authentic props from the parks... The costume from the former Rivers of Light nighttime spectacular at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park is one of my favorites.

009.thumb.jpg.9ce43c22e100605e2eab2f6553b6bdaf.jpg

A model of the very ship we were sailing on, found on the very ship we were sailing on.

011.thumb.jpg.f5d936fab4ba171678d2464d01a7bde5.jpg

Three of my favorite posters for three of my favorite attractions.

012.thumb.jpg.4f31872b848c39a78082edf332a8f764.jpg

A scale copy of the Grand Hall bronze statue found in the Walt Disney Imagineering Lab...

014.thumb.jpg.da4788c1310c6bc795a1fc788b1d0cef.jpg

Figment has found his way onboard!

010.thumb.jpg.557d09901eb3eb7e3e1ac03fdfffbe57.jpg

There are lots of themed spaces for kids to enjoy within Disney's Oceaneer's Club.

016.thumb.jpg.9da2792de0ba263d50cab11ea5b787ba.jpg

Also a collection of some of the most adorable restrooms you'll find out of anywhere made by Disney.

017.thumb.jpg.91b6460c0ad30cac5d3dc3964b597313.jpg

As my username implies, I kind of like Star Wars.

018.thumb.jpg.0dd968b491e362c672a5007acf5fbe7f.jpg

Ok, I like it a lot.

019.thumb.jpg.c4bdc8a5985507c6772338863c28ffa9.jpg

Enough to get really excited when I see a dianoga in the water...

020.thumb.jpg.732019605846019d50071b3e22c98c6c.jpg

Especially excited to see an adorable lothcat twitching in its sleep.

021.thumb.jpg.e50668be4b20b3a95ae5953c0b3d62a6.jpg

Marvel Superhero Academy is another impressive space within Disney's Oceaneer's Club, featuring interactive experiences and games...

022.thumb.jpg.ab968c8fbe281053e195035ce74375ce.jpg

I was able to try my hand at being a certain web-slinging superhero in a battle against Ultron's army of bots.

023.thumb.jpg.a06d903207426016aa4b9fa2d66a0078.jpg

The space directly ties into the Worlds of Marvel dinner show, particularly the Avengers: Quantum Encounter show. 

024.thumb.jpg.ed8bdcc2b0c3db60b6d2710385f74bdb.jpg

Back in the Grand Hall we found Peter Pan guiding guests on a treasure hunt.

025.thumb.jpg.fc7dae0421f583c31c5749905f0dfb0e.jpg

And a friendly Genie overhead to welcome guests aboard.

026.thumb.jpg.b8acbd1baa3e55010c0ade79fa371eff.jpg

One of my most important stops on embarkation lunch is to Marceline Market where I indulge in delicious seafood... But maybe I'm just shellfish. 

027.thumb.jpg.7380b667426649d5f6275210eb373494.jpg

Our home for the next seven nights!

028.thumb.jpg.caa5a7b14e6deb5cfa1351ecd0703e8a.jpg

Complete with a very comfortable verandah!

029.thumb.jpg.6055e79f48275fda6c179138a60fe0c5.jpg

Sarabi is the ship's two-story flex venue which hosted shows, trivia, bingo and more throughout the cruise.

030.thumb.jpg.c7d0f73da63aa606413c754adcbc2c7c.jpg

A close-up look at the magic lamp found in the Grand Hall of the Disney Treasure.

031.thumb.jpg.084017961b06469fcd52118cd48f20ce.jpg

I'm not kidding when I say that "Let's Set Sail" is one of my favorite entertainment offerings across the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

032.thumb.jpg.c38f82c6fa6a227b8752bd4aa84846cc.jpg

It's a high energy kick-off to your cruise featuring all of your favorite characters, great upbeat and emotional music (gets me every time) and tons of fun!

033.thumb.jpg.2e236b3ec339fe388a78298aee0d5edf.jpg

The magic is so strong, the cast float on air!

034.thumb.jpg.8c7008aacbcd5da3c48dfbb385e1216a.jpg

We've got royalty in the house!

035.thumb.jpg.79535beb791c8da11af4bc6650e90414.jpg

Make that double!

036.thumb.jpg.6d1fc1e116a489c93a2720abb4be4118.jpg

How about triple?

037.thumb.jpg.0364c68c02ecbac991b984a8d9efabdd.jpg

Simply the best!

038.thumb.jpg.df7edc468e23311998afca64b4c0be81.jpg

Not long after the ship sailed away from Port Canaveral it was time for our first dinner at Plaza de Coco!

039.thumb.jpg.5f09b850453becf5d801929d6f5e876d.jpg

Located in the same space as Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure on the Disney Wish, this venue features in-story entertainment as well as authentic, fantastic Mexican food. 

040.thumb.jpg.e65fa4843e500ccdca213d6e9d8ee55e.jpg

These Chorizo Street Croquettes were among my favorite things I consumed throughout the cruise.

041.thumb.jpg.5c5f1a1d16c5d6320dae68f7867812c8.jpg

Abuelita Elena's Shrimp Diabla did not disappoint!

042.thumb.jpg.f0144f58005df2f2faae04b88a944c54.jpg

The show also features an authentic mariachi band to entertain guests and to set the evening mood.

043.thumb.jpg.9aacfb0a02a4f04e32a58eaaa4e7a448.jpg

The Butternut Squash Enchilada was a fantastic meatless meal option.

044.thumb.jpg.5793a60ed947047c23d7d5fd396423e7.jpg

The Margarita Lime Cheesecake was a delicious way to cap off our meal.

045.thumb.jpg.3103ce8b7a15e42b338c35af04362511.jpg

The level of detail in bringing Coco to life onboard is excellent. 

046.thumb.jpg.41212946db05cb8f8bafc699b030837c.jpg

Miguel's family tree...

047.thumb.jpg.1881260c32b70983cfeca96474b28855.jpg

I love the feel of this space!

048.thumb.jpg.a5fd6d2b7c63cd7cbcd896943d38624a.jpg

Like other Disney Cruise Line ships, the hallways and stairwells contain unique art that pays tribute to Disney content of all types and ages. 

049.thumb.jpg.82e20453fd8047961ce3c7f48f056d92.jpg

Now for something I had been eagerly anticipating for some time...

056.thumb.jpg.f268d1d67e8f56de27faedb2b4f74645.jpg

Welcome foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion Parlor!

052.thumb.jpg.c353eb35d1effc194a657ce811e715b0.jpg

The Haunted Mansion Parlor is an extension of the Haunted Mansion attraction, with its own unique story, elements and lots of tie-ins to the original experience. This fish tank is one of the most notable elements within the space...

053.thumb.jpg.03b041ee433270eed0e4ef11000f6054.jpg

But you won't find regular fish in here.

050.thumb.jpg.8c68f14fa6de6837d874428d0b290f72.jpg

Not unlike the attraction that inspired it, the Haunted Mansion Parlor features portraits that aren't quite as they appear...

051.thumb.jpg.416d4cc0886bde0d3e1f8646510d8944.jpg

There's something more ghoulish that reveals itself in each of these, given time.

054.thumb.jpg.a2b5c9bea812fbb26c45ae68c219f5a3.jpg

The characters are similar to those you find in the Haunted Mansion, right down to the poses, but their stories and forms are not carbon copies of what you'd find on land.

055.thumb.jpg.d541d6917c8de7ead77c72e3a7dc144b.jpg

It was very appropriate that Captain Culpepper Clyne, also known to fans of the Disney lore as The Mariner, found his way into the Haunted Mansion Parlor. This character is based on one of the earliest Marc Davis sketches for Disney's version of what would become The Haunted Mansion. He at one point was represented in the attractions as a portrait whose staring eyes followed you. He also has a tomb in the Walt Dsieny World Magic Kingdom version of the attraction's queue. 

061.thumb.jpg.9229ca2dd7feaea1afc01b4d9adb8791.jpg

The Mariner also has his own themed drink and accompanying collectible mug available for purchase... Which I did.

058.thumb.jpg.ab48ee4e6a749acf3d18bda1dfc09e16.jpg

The Siren (previously pictured in portrait form) also has her own drink and mug available for purchase... Which I did.

059.thumb.jpg.4f158e8eebc9e5b7615aaf895efae176.jpg

The mantle clock is similar but different to the grandfather clock found in the Haunted Mansion attraction.

062.thumb.jpg.a4cc66f77253686a2a276772f96e2897.jpg

The Hitchhiking Ghosts make appearances in the bar mirror throughout the evening...

063.thumb.jpg.37f9edcae8f949407c76bea49d35de85.jpg

A look at the venue's drink menu...

064.thumb.jpg.adc5072d76d4fe1f08a7b4ca0b3af6e0.jpg

There is a hidden drink option if you can solve a "chilling challenge" from within the digital menu...

065.thumb.jpg.1a8d67001d4e2240adebba499fde1139.jpg

And here is what that option is.

066.thumb.jpg.c612a7112a96ec20247e06dd3b6090cf.jpg

I love this tribute to former Imagineer Rolly Crump!

067.thumb.jpg.404e1e02352552ee9fb00258d26e83aa.jpg

Notice how these sconces look very similar to the "The Spirits Have Been Released" hidden menu item?

068.thumb.jpg.54d2cc167b05b988a55918d21cb8174b.jpg

The Haunted Mansion Parlor is filled to the brim with details including this candelabra which features a candle that is a nod to the Candle Man character that was once conceptualized for the attraction. 

069.thumb.jpg.65508658257f3534b35bed5202d9619b.jpg

There are blink-and-you-miss-it details throughout the Haunted Mansion Parlor... Like this portrait...

070.thumb.jpg.cea77e92bd9bd19c9b4fbd3bafa657a5.jpg

It doesn't quite stay the same throughout the experience.

071.thumb.jpg.bcabef9eac563190574ce0ef40197e4f.jpg

Jumbeaux's Sweets is the ship's ice cream parlor and sweets shop.

072.thumb.jpg.3151f1439e33026fe938e895cc39b446.jpg

The space is incredibly cute!

073.thumb.jpg.ca32ccd331d2df0268261dd229f56160.jpg

And there are lots of great ice cream flavors to enjoy!

074.thumb.jpg.c7268ac6358ae117dcbe167c1a7f1464.jpg

For all of you Taittinger enthusiasts, yes they have plenty onboard.

075.thumb.jpg.c3beead3734c69b8eb27cd5c76ea48e1.jpg

The Jade Cricket Cafe is one of several coffee bars onboard.

076.thumb.jpg.58ebb1fdf1a4266b991f923a773b33b9.jpg

This one is inspired by the lucky cricket, Cri-Kee from the animated Disney film Mulan. 

Our night ended with an early rest knowing that our next day would be our first full sea day with lots to do throughout.

^ Oh my. All those scooped balls of ice cream placed on top of each other..... That's amazing to look at. The whole ship looks amazing. And that seafood plate you had there - oink. All looks great!

After a great first day aboard, it was time for our first day at sea... A leisurely opportunity to enjoy more of the ship's venues, food and fun!

001a.thumb.jpg.540fbeaf8cc1eaa84953328a39fa8735.jpg

It's never a bad day when your morning starts at Marceline Market!

001b.thumb.jpg.a45a3308158e77683fd0402c4dbc4dbc.jpg

How could you go wrong with a breakfast like this?

002.thumb.jpg.91af0141ad7ae2f1e1faa18b5f198850.jpg

A fun piece of art found near the entrance of Hero Zone aboard the Disney Treasure.

003.thumb.jpg.2a309df87b7bc1d987989e7b90c0a707.jpg

The Rose acts both as its own venue as well as the pre-show lounge for Palo Steakhouse and Enchante. 

004.thumb.jpg.49f824e0f79c36b28eba02d3c9dda604.jpg

It is inspired by the live action version of Beauty and the Beast.

005.thumb.jpg.7c276e4084812a4d2c36d1b712cb438e.jpg

And the lounge offers a fantastic view!

006.thumb.jpg.107f40d7e6136533f85e5acb14c60fe5.jpg

Today was a great day to enjoy the ship's many pools. 

007.thumb.jpg.432b6e96fdd331aea1f9cb0bbdfeedb5.jpg

I love capturing a variation of this funnel photo with each Disney Cruise I take.

008a.thumb.jpg.b878d800e3076a4b99031d62d91b20d9.jpg

Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue at Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods is one of my go-to places for quick and tasty food.

008b.thumb.jpg.b7608018feb89ab40f16492c3f31499d.jpg

Any chance to meet Stitch is one that I'm going to take!

009.thumb.jpg.3613d54774290ba35b09230bc7abc37f.jpg

That night we had dinner in 1923, home to some of my favorite dishes, like this fantastic Hyperion Four-Cheese Tri-Color Tortelloni. 

010.thumb.jpg.13bc364a52f004b7cc87006d3c6cc8e1.jpg

The Kingswell Duck Confit Pastilla is another favorite of ours we repeat every time we can.

011.thumb.jpg.663150597357614f4f9c65e602ca0d3e.jpg

The Alameda Porcini Spiced Ahi Tuna is always a refreshing choice, and the black sesame brittle is a unique accompaniment I love.

012.thumb.jpg.cd1e57c5407aed761fe3ceafe254ce23.jpg

The Flourless Orange Almond Cake was a great dessert option.

013.thumb.jpg.872e8411a782da610045d63d59980d7b.jpg

But the Burbank Blueberry-Lemon Bavarian Cream takes the cake!

014.thumb.jpg.da827924abb82fc1ce421f6a7500e8de.jpg

Yes, I went back to Haunted Mansion Parlor. And yes, I sat in the chair!

015.thumb.jpg.741baa4501f8438bc12b35c98e8c307e.jpg

I might have ordered this piece of art from Art of Disney On Demand onboard... I might have. 

016.thumb.jpg.43544c3ef0c2ee6520cd4c7bea9842a4.jpg

Next up was another new lounge for me, the Skipper Society. 

017.thumb.jpg.1ab9bd64ae10536263557343eeed7440.jpg

Inspired by the Jungle Cruise and its associated lore, I was in heaven taking in all of the detail found within.

018.thumb.jpg.b75df3ab03d6a45bc49823e6b5a60465.jpg

The menu is also quite nifty...

018a.thumb.jpg.4e1620da91bb13999a8c0d39e0c752d8.jpg

Another interactive tablet menu...

018b.thumb.jpg.fbaa79881802f30e878886df5aa152e4.jpg

Some unique choices on tap...

018c.thumb.jpg.becb8918a9fe7ed9ee9e95fa5cfb4f58.jpg

And they have waffles!

019.thumb.jpg.9a17c7e316b8fff8b6f61666075e5ee5.jpg

And for the Trader Sam's fans in the house.

020.thumb.jpg.baf6633b3420cafd8994f6a98eff81bc.jpg

A Typhoon Lagoon connection via S.E.A.!

022.thumb.jpg.7d7f3a51f334c73e192b6e130c8ee0ac.jpg

You can bet this skipper boat tiki bowl made its way home with me!

023.thumb.jpg.c09ac1c736356221d0c67110d0eb8be5.jpg

Awesome details on the bar back!

024.thumb.jpg.60e3bfdbaaf9c7c468a84229598f99d3.jpg

Neat tap too!

025.thumb.jpg.dd9274c287588e03f81732f0a2817ab5.jpg

A telegram from Walt himself!

026.thumb.jpg.9556d83d0142d4f3f276985f98eba554.jpg

Disneyland fans may recognize this copy of The Daily Gnus which was given out as a part of the short-lived Adventureland Trading Company game.

027.thumb.jpg.80fb2aa868c80cc669bbe6bf81b6bb9e.jpg

Love it.

028.thumb.jpg.2427e8f1c85ae77a3f4158debf55a43c.jpg

Hi Donald!

030.thumb.jpg.9adeb0b1d15756f72d8ea2b51f414146.jpg

Disney Seas the Adventure was our first show in the Walt Disney Theatre and a great way to kick off the cruise's main stage entertainment.

031.thumb.jpg.96ffc8fcb46fa6806c637918c88bf5d8.jpg

I love the interior of the theater.

032.thumb.jpg.f07825372ae6638e8c45b0e57a1b1729.jpg

Never a bad time to enjoy Funnelvision onboard...

033.thumb.jpg.a02c589253f55a8beec232679b255587.jpg

Did I go back to Haunted Mansion Parlor again at the end of the night? 

034.thumb.jpg.982af9bc7e26f7044d25ed2f4fa8990d.jpg

Sure did!

035.thumb.jpg.ef53d32dbab2777823abd2f8dac2c70f.jpg

There are tons of hidden details throughout the Parlor... You simply have to look closely.

036.thumb.jpg.70b0dbec6f3ef601a8ade2fc90118f45.jpg

Deadpool & Wolverine was playing onboard in the ship's movie theaters during our sailing.

037.thumb.jpg.06031e0138a3e2e647e5a1a9936a2f35.jpg

I adore this view.

038.thumb.jpg.11e402a9e7f83b4e41f0122a442833fa.jpg

Love it!

039.thumb.jpg.4667388b1653c59469d7865925393818.jpg

Our second towel animal of the cruise, marking the end of another day...
