When the Disney Treasure sets sail in December 2024, it will offer a culinary adventure that brings Disney’s beloved stories to life in ways you’ve never imagined. From a swanky “Aristocats” jazz lounge to a cosmic “Guardians of the Galaxy” dinner, and vibrant “Coco”-themed feasts to whimsical “Zootopia” sweets, this cruise promises to be a delightful journey through Disney’s enchanting worlds, all while enjoying Disney Cruise Line’s signature service and world-class cuisine.
Swing into the Scat Cat Lounge
Step into the sophisticated ambiance of the Scat Cat Lounge, where the spirit of “The Aristocats” comes alive. Imagine the charm of an old-school jazz club, with hanging lanterns casting a warm glow over a paw print-adorned baby grand piano. The lounge is a direct extension of the Grand Hall, incorporating Agrabah-inspired architectural elements and a rich, complementary color palette. Here, guests will feel as if they’ve stepped into the bohemian world of Scat Cat and his crew.
The cocktail menu at Scat Cat Lounge is a creative homage to the film’s characters. Sip on the Créme de la Créme Martini, a decadent blend of cognac and chocolate served in a charming French-style ceramic bowl, echoing the kittens’ evening treat. The Cat Drink, a clear and refreshing concoction of clarified bourbon, amaro, Aperol, and fresh lemon, is served in hand-crafted glassware embossed with a cat image. For a shared experience, the Turkish Tea Experience presents a tea-based cocktail in a bejeweled teapot and gold-detailed teacups, celebrating the Grand Hall’s architectural elegance.
Marvel’s Guardians of Gastronomy
At Worlds of Marvel, the Disney Treasure elevates the dining experience with two spectacular nights of superhero-themed culinary adventures. One of the highlights is “Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix,” featuring the dynamic duo Rocket and Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy.” As diners enjoy a feast fit for heroes, the story unfolds onscreen, with Groot taking center stage to transform the evening into a high-energy celebration. The soundtrack, a nostalgic mix of hit songs from past decades, sets the perfect backdrop for family-friendly activities and Marvel trivia.
On another night, guests will experience “Avengers: Quantum Encounter,” an interactive dining event where Ant-Man and The Wasp face off against a formidable villain to protect new Quantum Core technology. This immersive dinner combines thrilling storytelling with exquisite cuisine, ensuring an unforgettable experience for Marvel fans of all ages.
A Fiesta of Flavors in Santa Cecilia
The Plaza de Coco dining experience transports guests to the vibrant world of Pixar’s “Coco,” where the Rivera family’s kitchen serves as the inspiration for a menu bursting with traditional flavors and modern twists. This dining venue offers two evenings of festive entertainment and delectable dishes, immersing guests in the heartwarming spirit of Miguel’s adventures.
The culinary journey begins with tantalizing appetizers like Abuelita Elena Shrimp Diabla, featuring a zesty chili-chipotle sauce, and Chorizo Street Croquettes with chili-lime crema. Main courses continue the fiesta with options such as Luisa’s Pollo Asado, a citrus-marinated chicken served with cilantro rice and serrano-tomatillo salsa, and Enrique’s Port Wine Braised Beef Short Rib, accompanied by cheddar cheese mash and crisp green beans. Seafood lovers can savor the Pan-Seared Adobo Spiced Sea Bass, while vegetarians will delight in the Blistered Poblano Pepper stuffed with Oaxaca cheese.
Desserts at Plaza de Coco are equally enchanting, with choices like Margarita Lime Cheesecake with sea salt shortbread, Mexican Chocolate Tart with spiced chocolate crème, and Warm Coconut Tres Leches, a milk-soaked coconut cake with caramel sauce and dulce de leche ice cream.
Sweet Escapes in Zootopia
Jumbeaux’s Sweets, inspired by the bustling metropolis of Zootopia, offers a whimsical array of treats that pay homage to the film’s diverse characters. This sweet shop features over 35 flavors of handmade gelato, ice cream, plant-based frozen desserts, and sorbets, along with creative confections that bring the world of Zootopia to life.
The Judy Hopps Carrot Cupcake is a delightful nod to Officer Hopps’ roots, featuring spiced carrot cake with lemon frosting and blueberry compote, topped with a chocolate piece depicting Judy. The Nick Wilde Raspberry ‘n Cream Cupcake, inspired by the sly fox himself, combines red velvet cake with vanilla frosting and raspberry compote. For a playful twist, the Paw Shortbread Sandwich mimics Nick Wilde’s “pawpcicle,” with red velvet shortbread cookies filled with vanilla frosting and dulce de leche.
Other whimsical treats include the Mango Leopard Cakesicle, a lemon fudge cake pop drizzled with mango chocolate glaze, and Carrot Chocolate Covered Strawberries served over cookie crumble soil. Each Zootopia Chocolate Bark Post Card features a beloved character from the film, offering distinct flavors with combinations of dried fruits, nuts, and sprinkles in dark, milk, or white chocolate.
