Setting Sail on the Disney Treasure
I recently had the incredible opportunity to be part of one of the first official sailings aboard Disney’s newest ship, the Treasure, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of unforgettable. From stunning theming to magical moments, and every delicious bite of food and dessert in between, Disney once again proved they know how to deliver an epic vacation. If you’re searching for the perfect blend of Disney magic and luxury cruising, keep reading—this ship truly lives up to its name.
A Spooky Highlight: The Haunted Mansion Parlor
The Haunted Mansion Parlor was hands-down my favorite part of the ship. Imagine stepping into a room where the eerie charm of the Haunted Mansion ride meets sophisticated lounge vibes. The decor was hauntingly beautiful, with details that made you feel like you’d been transported straight into the ride’s spooky halls. The atmosphere was delightfully eerie yet elegant, and the drinks? They were wickedly good.
Picture this: enjoying a uniquely crafted cocktail while soaking in the ghostly ambiance of the Haunted Mansion—but without getting kicked off the ride at the end! I could’ve spent hours there, sipping drinks and losing myself in the whimsical, spooky vibes. If Disney offered staterooms inside the parlor, I’d be first in line to book one. It’s truly a must-experience for anyone sailing on the Treasure.
A Taste of Disney Magic: Coco’s Restaurant
If you’re a fan of Mexican cuisine (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?… okay, maybe Aubrey), Coco’s Restaurant is an absolute culinary dream come true. As someone who firmly believes chips and salsa should be their own food group, I was beyond thrilled by the bold flavors and inventive dishes crafted by Disney’s talented chefs. Every bite was a masterpiece, from the perfectly seasoned entrees to the desserts that were almost too beautiful to eat.
And how could I forget to mention the incredible entertainment? While savoring this amazing food, the performers were serenading with music from Disney’s Coco. The live performances added the perfect touch to an already magical atmosphere, making the entire dining experience one I’ll never forget. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a celebration of flavor, culture, and Disney magic all rolled into one.
Dining in Style: Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté
Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté are experiences you cannot miss if you’re a foodie. From expertly prepared steaks to exquisite seafood dishes, these restaurants take Disney dining to a whole new level. Disney brings in some of the best chefs in the world—including Michelin-starred talent—to craft menus that blend flavors from across the globe.
And let’s not forget the wine. The sommelier paired each course with wines so perfectly chosen that I felt like a connoisseur by the end of the meal. Pro tip: Save room for dessert. Whether you choose a decadent chocolate creation or a light, fruit-filled delight, every bite is worth savoring.
Broadway at Sea: Unforgettable Entertainment
Disney cruises are renowned for their entertainment, and the Treasure was no exception. Beauty and the Beast remains my all-time favorite, with its stunning performances and magical storytelling. But the new Moana show? Wow. The visuals were breathtaking, the music was incredible, and the performances left me in awe.
Both shows are must-sees and worth planning your evenings around. Trust me—you won’t regret making time for these Broadway-caliber productions.
The Perfect Retreat: My Stateroom
When it comes to accommodations, Disney goes above and beyond. My stateroom was a sanctuary of comfort, but the verandah? That was the real showstopper. I spent hours out there, watching the ocean glide by, sipping coffee, and reading a book.
It was also the perfect spot to recover after indulging in a few too many desserts. The soothing sound of the waves combined with the gentle ocean breeze made it impossible not to relax. If you’re ever on a Disney cruise, make sure your room has a verandah—it’s worth every penny.
The SpA!
I’m a sporty, athletic guy, so when Kim suggested signing up for the spa, my first reaction was, “Nah, that’s not my thing—definitely not manly.” Boy, was I wrong. Let me tell you about the spa—OMG, it was everything I didn’t know I needed. The moment I stepped in, I was hooked. The spa area was serene and peaceful, a perfect escape from the buzz and excitement of the ship. And my absolute favorite spot? The outdoor swing chairs. Picture this: gently swaying in the breeze, listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean, and feeling every ounce of stress melt away.
But it didn’t stop there. From the tranquil pools to the rejuvenating treatments, the spa was a haven of relaxation. Whether you’re looking to unwind with a massage, detox in the sauna, or simply lounge with a good book, the spa offers a level of tranquility that’s hard to beat. Pro tip: Schedule your treatments early, as spots fill up fast—you don’t want to miss this slice of paradise. It was pure bliss, and now I can’t help but wonder why I resisted it for so long!
Why the Disney Treasure is a Must
This cruise was the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and Disney magic. Whether it was savoring a meal at Palo or Enchanté, exploring Castaway Cay, lounging on the verandah, or getting completely enchanted by the Haunted Mansion Parlor, every moment felt like a treasure. Disney’s attention to detail, from the decor to the entertainment, cast members, made this vacation one for the books.
If you’re planning your next getaway, the Disney Treasure is a must. From world-class dining to unforgettable Broadway-caliber shows and serene escapes like the spa, this ship offers something for everyone.
