More News About Dining and Drinking on the Disney Treasure
We’ve getting excited about the new Disney Treasure ship, making her maiden voyage this winter. Disney has announced more information about several of the onboard food service venues including menu items at Plaza de Coco (a main rotational dining room), snack offerings at Jumbeax’s Sweets (an ice cream and dessert shop), and drinks in an Aristocats themed lounge to be called Scat Cat Lounge.
Plaza de Coco
At Plaza de Coco, guests will visit the picturesque town of Santa Cecilia from the Pixar Animation Studios film, Coco. During two distinct evenings of theatrical entertainment, everyone in the familia will discover a menu that draws inspiration from Miguel’s colorful world. Offerings will include:
-
- Abuelita Elena Shrimp Diabla with chili-chipotle sauce, cilantro, pickled red onion, and toasted birotes
- Chorizo Street Croquettes with chili-lime crema, cotija cheese, and cilantro

Margarita Lime Cheesecake with a sea salt shortbread and raspberry-agave margarita coulis
Jumbeax’s Sweets
Specialty treats will await Disney Treasure’s guests at Jumbeaux’s Sweets. In line with the Zootopia theming of the venue, menu items will be inspired by characters from the bustling mammal metropolis that Judy Hopps calls home as featured in the Walt Disney Animation Studios film.
- Judy Hopps Carrot Cupcake with spiced carrot cake, dollops of lemon frosting, white chocolate crème, and blueberry compote
- Nick Wilde Raspberry ‘n Cream Cupcake with red velvet sponge cake, vanilla frosting, white chocolate crème, raspberry compote, and a chocolate décor topping
- Paw Shortbread Sandwich with two paw-shaped red velvet shortbread cookies, vanilla frosting, and dulce de leche
- Mango Leopard Cakesicle with lemon fudge cake and a mango-chocolate glaze drizzle
- Carrot Chocolate-Covered Strawberries with cookie crumble soil and a white chocolate coating
- Zootopia Chocolate Bark Post Cards with a distinct character-inspired decoration and flavor combination including an assortment of dry fruits, nuts, and sprinkles
Scat Cat Lounge
The Scat Cat Lounge (not to be confused with the Soul Cat Lounge on the Disney Magic) will be themed to the 1970 animated Disney film The Aristocats. Named for the music-loving feline from the film, Scat Cat Lounge will bring the groovy penthouse performance of “Ev’rybody Wants to be a Cat” into the real world. Plans for the venue combine the elegance of an old-school jazz club with artistic references to the film.
Some details to keep an eye out for include:
- A Familiar Looking Carpet: Fans of The Aristocats may recognize the carpet inside Scat Cat Lounge, inspired by the ornate French style rugs scattered throughout Madame Adelaide Bonfamille’s swanky Parisian home.
- Caution – Wet Paint: The playful scene from the The Aristocats film when Toulouse mischievously left his paint-covered paw mark on the piano will be represented in Scat Cat Lounge with colorful prints decorating the piano.
- Inspired by Agrabah: Centrally located off the ship’s Grand Hall, Scat Cat Lounge will take design cues from the Grand Hall’s Agrabah-inspired architecture with a complementary color palette and Middle Eastern décor that will blend seamlessly with the storied theming of the venue.
- Double Delicious Craft Cocktails: Scat Cat Lounge will serve a special menu of cocktails that celebrate The Aristocats, including the Créme de la Créme Martini and The Cat Drink.
- The Cats Go Marching: A parade of silhouetted cats, all representing characters from the film, will welcome guests to Scat Cat Lounge at the entry and lead the way into the venue.
- Scat Cat’s Horn: The Aristocats theming will begin at the front door of the lounge with a sculpted handle that resembles Scat Cat’s signature instrument.
- Hidden Characters: Hidden Mickeys may be a hallmark of any Walt Disney Imagineering design, but at Scat Cat Lounge, hidden depictions of Roquefort, the devoted mouse companion of Duchess and her kittens, will reign.
- An Ode to Music: A black and white-striped statement wall will extend through the center of the venue, framing a groovy neon sign with the lyrics, “Ev’rybody Wants to be A Cat.” Reminiscent of piano keys, the wall will honor the important role that music played throughout the film.
- The Cats Behind the Magic: At first glance, the funky poster that will hang outside Scat Cat Lounge may not draw too much attention. However, the instrument-playing cat collage will have a secret – each cat depicted in the artwork will be drawn in the image of a beloved pet belonging to someone from the project team that helped design and build Scat Cat Lounge.
