Dining On Board the Disney Treasure

One of the most fun things about a cruise is letting someone else worry about arranging dinner – you just have to show up, ready to eat. If you’re setting sail aboard the Disney Treasure, where should you expect to dine? And what can you eat? Let’s dig in.

The Disney Treasure offers three rotational dining restaurants, two of which can also be found aboard the Wish: Worlds of Marvel and 1923. In addition to these main dining rooms, there are two adult-exclusive restaurants, Marceline Market buffet, the pool deck quick-serve area, and a number of lounges found throughout the ship.

Main Dining Rooms

During their sailing, guests will dine in two of the signature restaurants twice and three times in the third. This “odd one out” third evening is for Pirate’s Night, which offers its own menu. The Treasure features two unique menus in each of its dining rooms; one for each of your two non-piratey visits. That means every guest will have a chance to try all six of the main dining room menus.

1923

Located on Deck 3 midship, 1923 is a set of two elegant dining rooms that celebrate the year that the Walt Disney Animation Studio was founded. The dining rooms (Walt and Roy Disney) have the unique benefit of having natural light – perfect for those opting for the 5:15 dinner seating, and wonderful to enjoy when the dining room is serving breakfast. The space is filled with display cases featuring artwork, animation, and props from classic Disney films.

In 1923, these menus largely featured Californian cuisine with some international flair. The 1923 menus include items such as chevril-dill marinated shrimp, baked oysters, double-baked three cheese souffle, braised oxtail soup, roasted green circle chicken breast, seared pork tenderloin medallions, and juniper marinated venison loin. 1923 is the only one of the Treasure’s main dining rooms that doesn’t have a show. Whether you view that as a plus or a minus, if you’re going to skip a night of main dining, this may be the one to plan around.

Worlds of Marvel

Located on Deck 4 aft, the Worlds of Marvel dining room looks just as it does on the Wish, and hosts two distinct dining shows during each sailing. The first is the same as on the Wish: ‘Avengers: Quantum Encounter’ with Antman and Wasp returns. A new show has debuted to cover the second visit to Worlds of Marvel on the Treasure. ‘Groot Remix’ features trivia and entertainment from everyone’s favorite Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot, and Rocket.

The menus include some interesting global flavors and spices. Some examples are steamed bao buns, ahi tuna poke, tamari and honey glazed salmon fillet, berbere spiced pork chops, and golden mystic pasta.

The ‘Groot Remix’ show is easy to follow along with. If you’d rather focus on your tablemates than the screens, you still have a pretty good idea of what’s going on. It is loud, but the soundtrack is delightful, and the service team makes the experience a lot of fun. The same is true for ‘Avengers: Quantum Encounter’; most of the action is on the screens and is easy to follow or ignore.

Plaza de Coco

Located on Deck 5 Aft, the third dining room is Plaza de Coco which is inspired by the film Coco. Each sailing has two distinct shows that take place in Santa Cecilia, each with a talented team of musicians and dancers. The first evening is a mariachi celebration with Miguel and his family. The second evening is a Dia de Los Muertos celebration that features his great great great grandparents Hector and Mama Imelda.

The food here is – you guessed it – Mexican, and this was my favorite of all three restaurants. Selections include beef birria empanadas, red chicken enchiladas, chipotle black bean soup, pan-seared adobo spiced sea bass, and Imelda Riviera’s roasted chicken breast mole.

The dining room layout has the stage at the center of the dining room. This can cause some issues in viewing the shows for tables with a less-than-optimal sightline of the stage, similar to the Arendelle dining room on the Wish. But the music makes it an enjoyable experience nonetheless. If you do luck out with a table near the center of the room, you are in for a treat. The show is wonderful, and I would hesitate to skip either of these evenings! It’s a unique selling point of the Treasure and something you won’t find aboard any other ship in the fleet.

Quick Service Venues on the Treasure

Marceline Market

Located on deck 11 aft, Marceline Market is the main pool deck buffet restaurant. The layout is identical to the Wish. Likewise, the food is equally fantastic and will ruin all other cruise line buffets for you. Breakfast covers everything from basic eggs and Mickey waffles to rotating flavors of congee – my all time favorite. Lunch has some daily staples and kid-friendly hits like chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese, plus rotating international dishes, a carving station, and more. Personally, I’d choose the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods over the lunch buffet. But on a seven-day voyage, you’ll have plenty of time to sample from both.

Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods

Located on deck 11 forward, Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods is home to three separate Quick Service Windows. You’ll find Mickey’s Smokestack BBQ, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goofy’s Grill, and Minnie’s Delights. The great thing about these kiosks is that you’re guaranteed to find something for everyone and the walk up windows make it hassle-free. My favorite thing here – one of my favorites aboard the entire ship! – is the chicken bowl from Donald’s Cantina. Nothing beats grabbing a casual snack and checking out whatever is on Funnel Vision!

Jumbeaux’s Sweets

Located on deck 11 aft, Jumbeaux’s Sweets is the Zootopia-themed ice cream and candy store. You’ll find more than 30 flavors of housemade ice cream and gelato here, plus a variety of confections and packaged candies. Some flavors of gelato are directly inspired by the film, including the Hopps Carrot Cake and the Dr. Zander Orshack gelatos.

Adult Dining on the Treasure

The ship has two adult-exclusive restaurants by Chef Arnaud Lallement. On deck 12 aft, you’ll find both Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté, both available for an additional cost. These venues require a reservation and are lightly themed to Beauty and the Beast.

Palo serves its ever-popular all-you-care-to-enjoy brunch for $50, including items such as antipasti, calzones, lasagna bolognese, waffles, and flatbreads. For dinner, guests can choose between a $50 pre-fixe menu or can order a la carte.

Enchanté offers a brunch for $80 and lunch for $105. During dinner, guests can choose the five course Passion dinner for $135 or the complete Collection menu for $205. Both dinner menus can be supplemented with a la carte selections.

Many people may wonder why you would opt to splurge here when main dining is included in the price of your voyage. In my experience, it’s always been worth it at these two restaurants. If you’re someone who enjoys fine dining, the experience at either of these venues, but especially Enchanté, is worth trying at least once.

Bars and Cafes on the Treasure

Disney has a number of bars and cafes on the Treasure. One thing to be aware of: some of these venues are activity spaces during the day and convert to their “bar” persona at night.

Skipper Society

Located on deck 3 midship, Skipper Society is located near the Grand Hall and themed to the Jungle Cruise. The space uses design aspects from the ride, such as the striped canopy seen aboard the boats in the attraction. Not only that, it even uses music from the queue during times when the lounge isn’t hosting live music! There are a lot of nods to the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.), which will delight diehard Disney fans.

Periscope Pub

On deck 5 forward, Periscope Pub takes inspiration from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The space is themed to feel like a submarine, decked out with nautical nods like gauges and gears. The ceiling shows projections of fish floating above you, with footage from inside one of the tanks at The Seas in EPCOT. At night, this turns into the unofficial sports bar, but throughout the day is host to events like trivia. The bar menu includes craft beer, and cocktails, with food items for purchase such as burgers, chicken tenders, and pretzels.

The Haunted Mansion Parlor

Located on Deck 3 midship, the Haunted Mansion Parlor is outside the Grand Hall and adjacent to the Skipper Society. However great you think this space is going to be, I can guarantee you: it’s even better. The Parlor holds its own backstory, the legend of a sea captain and his fiancee. But you’ll find aspects of the classic attraction throughout the space. From transforming portraits hung on the wall, the iconic ‘Donald Duck’ chair, and Madame Leota, the lounge is a truly special place for fans of the ride.

Scat Cat Lounge

Found on Deck 3 midship, directly off the Grand Hall, Scat Cat Lounge is a piano bar based on The Aristocats. The bar features cocktails, champagne flights, and an extensive list of mocktails. Fans of the film can spot wallpaper decorated with Berlioz, Marie, and Toulouse, and even a set of paw prints across the piano.

The Rose

Outside of Palo and Enchanté on deck 12 aft, The Rose is an upscale cocktail bar and lounge. It features a wall of windows, making it the perfect place to catch the sunset. Or, you can simply enjoy a classy cocktail either before or after dinner.

Sarabi

Located on deck 4 and 5 midship, Sarabi is a two-floor lounge inspired by The Lion King. This space is home to games, shows, and performances, and it has a small bar.

Cove Cafe

Cove Cafe is located in an adult-only space on deck 13 aft. You’ll find it serving up coffee and espresso-based beverages, including coffee-forward cocktails, mocktails, and a selection of liquor.

Heihei Cafe & Jade Cricket Cafe

The Heihei Cafe is a walk-up coffee bar and lounge located adjacent to the Grand Hall on deck 4 midship. It serves coffee, tea, snacks and cocktails. This cafe is named for everyone’s favorite chicken from “Moana”. And as you might expect, the space is inspired by the island of Motunui. Look for design that pays homage to a traditional Polynesian construction technique used to craft ships.

One floor up on deck 5 midship, the Jade Cricket Cafe is a walk-up coffee bar and lounge adjacent to the Grand Hall. The Jade Cricket serves coffee, tea, snacks and cocktails, some of which feature Asian-inspired ingredients like ube and lychee. This cafe is inspired by “Mulan” and features metallic counters that pay homage to Mulan’s armor in the film.
