What’s next for the vessel? The Disney Adventure will sail through the Panama Canal, stop in Los Angeles, then voyage across the Pacific Ocean to Tokyo. The nearly two-month adventure will conclude in early March when the ship reaches Singapore ahead of its maiden voyage on March 10.

December 16, 2025: Another Disney Adventure Milestone Celebrated

On December 13, the crew members of the Disney Adventure, shipyard team, and Meyer Werft team commemorated another milestone celebrating the legal handover of the ship in Bremerhaven, Germany. The ceremony included a traditional flag-raising, and the Walt Disney Imagineering team presented a gift to the Meyer Werft team honoring the partnership behind bringing the Disney Adventure to life.

The Disney Adventure is one step closer to arriving to its homeport of Singapore. Stay tuned here for your first looks at the ship and more details about the incredible entertainment, dining, and experiences in store! 

November 7, 2025: Sneak Peek at the Rotational Dining Restaurants on the Disney Adventure

When the Disney Adventure sets sail on its Maiden Voyage in March 2026, it’ll be home to quite the tasty lineup of restaurants for guests to try throughout their trip. Drawing inspiration from beloved Disney Animation, Pixar Animation Studios, and Marvel characters and cuisines from around the globe, these locations will transport guests through their taste buds. Let’s take a first look at the rotational dining restaurants coming to the Disney Adventure.

Navigator’s Club and Hollywood Spotlight Club

For those first-time or seasoned sailors out there looking for a nautical-inspired spot, the Navigator’s Club is for them. Included in one of the rotational dining lineups, this restaurant will feature musical acts and interactions with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck.

Sister restaurant to the Navigator’s Club, the Hollywood Spotlight Club brings the golden age of Hollywood to life. Guests can walk the red carpet as they step into this glamourous location. Here too, they can enjoy musical performances and Mickey Mouse and his friends in their Hollywood best.

For entrees, keep an eye on the horizon for dishes like the Duck Confit Pastilla with filo, saffron, cinnamon, and blackberry. Some other stars of the show include the Prawns Mumbai Bhel made with sweet corn, rice puffs, avocado, cilantro, aïoli, and tamarind, the Porcini Spiced Ahi Tuna Sashimi with pickled lotus root, oyster mushrooms, black sesame brittle, wasabi, and yuzu mayonnaise, and the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass with baby Napa kimchi.

Animator’s Palate and Animator’s Table

A beloved restaurant among Disney Cruise Line fans, Animator’s Palate is back aboard the Disney Adventure along with its sister restaurant, Animator’s Table. Bringing to life Walt Disney’s legacy of animation, these locations transform over the course of dinner, going from black-and-white to a rainbow of color.  

Throughout the spaces there’s even animation boards and props from cherished films, like Disney Animation’s The Little Mermaid and Encanto, and Pixar’s Toy Story. The food is sure to ignite guests' palates too. Savory items include the Hainanese Chicken Rice with sweet dark soy sauce, ginger garlic sauce, and chili sauce, and the Laksa Lemak with prawn, Tau pok, laksa leaf, and chili.

Sweet lovers out there are in for a treat with the Chocolate Decadence made with bitter chocolate crème, truffle crème, hazelnut chiffon, and chocolate sauce. The Salted Caramel Cheesecake features a vanilla cheesecake, salted dulce de leche glaze, and peanut butter rice crisps. Or, for an extra Disney touch, the Mickey Chocolate Tart.

Enchanted Summer Restaurant and Pixar Market Restaurant

Next up, we have Enchanted Summer Restaurant and Pixar Market Restaurant, whose menus are filled with can’t-miss bites. Guests can step into summer all year long at the Enchanted Summer Restaurant. This eatery transports guests to a village dining hall with rooms inspired by Disney Animation’s Tangled and Frozen. During the day for breakfast and lunch, a buffet filled with regional and international cuisines is sure to delight. As the nighttime comes around, this restaurant transforms into a traditional seated experience for rotational dining.  

Those who love Pixar are in for a treat. The sister location, Pixar Market Restaurant, pays homage to the art and the artists who have created the iconic stories from Pixar Animation Studios. During the day, for breakfast and lunch, guests can enjoy a delicious buffet, while dinner transitions to a table-service restaurant for rotational dining.  

Some of the dishes they'll want to try are the Shiromaru with tonkotsu pork broth, egg noodles, pork belly chasu, sesame kikurage mushrooms, bean sprouts, menma, and spring onions, and the Green Papaya Salad with long beans, chili, and grape tomatoes with palm sugar lime dressing.

For those with a sweet tooth, the Lemon Thai Basil Tart with lemon curd, Thai basil whipped ganache, Swiss meringue, and raspberry sauce is a must.

This is just a sneak peek at the delicious offerings coming to the Disney Adventure, but there’s so much more to try when the Disney Adventure sets sail in March 2026!

(Note: All offerings are subject to change and availability.)  

October 29, 2025: First Look! Storybook Castle Installed in Disney Imagination Garden Aboard the Disney Adventure 

 

The storybook castle, standing three decks tall, has taken its place at the creative heart of the Disney Adventure in Disney Imagination Garden. The art piece is a first-of-its-kind in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, bringing guest-favorite fairytales to life.  

The Walt Disney Imagineering team drew inspiration from the iconic castles featured in beloved Disney films and Disney Parks around the world. The paper cut-out style, reminiscent of a pop-up storybook, invites guests to step into their own story. 

The castle is inspired by the spirit of adventure and the sea, with nods to timeless Disney storytelling. Artistic details, from the wave pattern surrounding the frame to the rich blues that color the facade, create a celebration of water for the first Disney castle at sea.  

At the center of the castle is the Disney family crest (which every Disney Parks castle around the world also features!) and a beautiful three-panel-stained glass window. Each panel represents a Disney heroine and princess. On these panels, you will find elements of nature including the water, sky and the heart of Te Fiti from Moana; the sun, earth and the Sundrop flower from Tangled; and the glistening ice and wind from Frozen.  

 

There are a number of “Easter eggs,” too, with tributes to Disney traditions and even a hidden Mickey. At the base of the storybook castle is a waterfall reminiscent of the Walt Disney Pictures castle shown before every Disney film.  

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes looks at how the Disney Adventure is being prepared for its maiden voyage out of Singapore in March 2026!

June 12, 2025: Disney Adventure Celebrates Another Milestone: Stern Characters Installed

The Disney Adventure reached another Disney Cruise Line milestone with the installation of the stern characters — the oversized Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse — on the back of the ship, and we’re bringing everyone behind the scenes for a first look at the process.

The 18-foot-tall and 12-foot-wide anchor fixture was carefully lifted by the Meyer Wismar shipyard team using cranes to then bolt to the ship’s stern. This Disney Cruise Line tradition adds an extra touch of magic to the exterior, as different beloved Disney characters can be found on the stern of each ship across the fleet. The Disney Adventure is the first Disney Cruise Line ship to feature the captains as the stern characters.  

Mickey and Minnie Ship Characters -Disney Adventure Updates

The Walt Disney Imagineering team included some can’t-miss details on the incredible statue, from the dripping yellow filigree paint to the bows adorned to Captain Minnie’s shoes.

The characters are in their iconic captain looks, hard at work putting the final touches on the ship’s stern filigree with their larger-than-life paint brushes.

April 19, 2025: The Disney Adventure Marks New Construction Milestone  

Today, April 19th, 2025, Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse, joined by cheering spectators, welcomed the Disney Adventure as it floated out of Meyer Werft’s hall in Wismar, Germany, and into the shipyard harbor.

The moment was celebrated with fireworks as a tugboat carefully guided the ship’s bow out of the building, eventually docking in the location where it will stay for the next few months while the team continues construction on what will be the largest vessel in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.    

The team has an exciting few weeks ahead as they begin making some major updates to the ship’s exterior. One of the most anticipated milestones is the installation of the iconic Disney Cruise Line funnels on the upper decks. But this time, it’s not just the classic two funnels—Disney Adventure will feature four funnels!

And there’s more magic on the horizon. Soon, we will start to see the addition of the iconic yellow lifeboats on the sides of the ship and thrilling new attractions, including Marvel Landing’s Groot Galaxy Spin and Disney Cruise Line’s first-ever coaster, Ironcycle Test Run.  

This exciting construction milestone brings the Disney Adventure one step closer to setting sail—and to welcoming guests later this year in Singapore!

 

Stay tuned for more updates on the Disney Adventure as the journey continues.

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:54:58 -0500 https://www.disneytravelagents.com/news/12007 https://www.disneytravelagents.com/news/12007 (Disney Destinations) Disney Destinations Those who have been dreaming about reliving all the magic at Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour or who want a peek behind the curtain at Taylor Swift’s historic career achievement are in luck. To honor the premiere of The End of an Era docuseries and Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show on Disney+, fans can now dive into the enchanting world of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour at Walt Disney World.

The brand-new Taylor Swift exhibit at Walt Disney Presents inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios is now open for park guests to enjoy until January 23. This activation invites fans to see three unforgettable costumes worn by Taylor herself during Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, providing an exclusive look at the craftsmanship and detail that brought each era in the show to life. 

What to Know About the Taylor Swift Costume Exhibit at Disney World

For a limited time, Walt Disney World guests can visit Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and embark on their own journey through the eras, with different costumes from this epic tour on display.

Three looks from “reputation,” “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT,” and “Midnights” eras have been handpicked to be featured here, and they’ll never go out of style.

“reputation”

Taylor’s entrance during the “reputation” set is fierce and unforgettable, largely thanks to this asymmetrical black bodysuit, which surrounds her with swirling, shimmering gold serpents.

Designed by Roberto Cavalli, this gold variant of the jumpsuit with an open-mouthed snake made its debut at night one in Miami. 

“THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT”

The striking, theatrical dress in Taylor’s “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT” set was created by Vivienne Westwood, and was added to the tour following the album’s release in 2024.

This custom draped corseted gown is inscribed with lyrics from “Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?” and features a three-row orb detail choker necklace, custom white gloves, and Christian Louboutin custom white boots.

“Midnights”

Taylor’s ensemble for the “Midnights” set is truly the ultimate closing costume.

The base is a Zuhair Murad Couture custom bodysuit featuring side cut-outs and a midnight blue shad embellished by crystals, topped with a colorful fringe jacket for the final song of the show, “Karma.”

This exhibit is the perfect place to channel one's inner mastermind, overanalyzing every detail up close – it’s what any fan would do!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is also home to fan-favorite attractions and experiences like The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and “Fantasmic” – so there’s plenty to see after soaking up all the sparkle and snapping some photos. Be sure to check disneyworld.disney.go.com or the My Disney Experience app for park hours and more information before visiting.
