Discover the Magic of Disney Parks on a Disney Treasure Cruise
Disney Cruise Line recently announced secrets about its latest ship, Disney Treasure. We learned that, for the first time ever, there will be several Disney Parks-inspired venues onboard the ship.
For example, The Periscope Pub, inspired by Walt Disney’s 1954 film and the legacy Disney Parks attraction, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,”
And the Skipper Society will draw on Jungle Cruise attractions from around the world.
Here's a first look at some of the secrets inspired by the Disney Theme Parks that Disney Imagineers are incorporating into the Disney Treasure.
#10 The Epcot Suite | Disney Treasure Secrets
Imagineers will place a special sculpture at the base of the Tomorrow Tower Suite’s spiral staircase that honors the iconic Epcot landmark, Spaceship Earth. The sculpture will bring the spirit of Epcot to life when guests enter the suite through music and lighting effects.
I wonder if it will have the burning wood smell from the Rome scene in the ride. I can only hope.

Epcot's Figment is the adorable purple dragon who first debuted at the Journey Into Imagination of course. In the Tomorrow Tower Suite, guests will encounter Figment posing in various hiding places.

#7 Disney GPS Coordinate Easter Eggs | Disney Treasure Secrets
Take a look at the image above, specifically the submarine pressure gauge behind the bar. Disney Imagineers will include numbers on it that will honor the geographical coordinates of the Meyer Werft shipyard where the Disney Treasure was built and the official hull numbers of each ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
The Disney Wish has something similar. When Funnel Vision isn’t being used, a screensaver comes on that displays several round nautical compasses and gauges. You’ll see a series of coordinates on the gauges for the Meyer Werft Shipyard, the Dinsey Cruise Line headquarters in Celebration, FL, and more.
The screensaver on Funnel Vision has hidden references to Disney Cruise Line.
#6 Even More 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea References | Disney Treasure Secrets
Throughout the Periscope Pub, you’ll discover various artifacts, drawings, and books used by Captain Nemo and his brave crew during undersea explorations on the Nautilus.
“Thank you so much for being so patient with us. We had a great first cruise. Your advice was spot on especially with the dining package. ”
#5 Jungle Cruise References | Disney Treasure Secrets
Skipper Society will have a jungle boat name of its own! Imagineers will dub the vessel housing the bar “Ems Empress” after the Ems River where the Disney Treasure will make her first voyage to sea.
After a Disney ship is completed, it sails down the Ems River to open waters. The Ems River is located in Northwestern Germany.
The conveyance to open waters takes about 10 hours.
An “Ems Empress” sign will hang proudly inside the venue when the Disney Treasure sets sail in December 2024.

While sipping cocktails the Skipper Society, you’ll hear familiar music playing in the venue, including spiels from the Jungle Cruise attractions around the world!
That means you’ll hear Skipper voices from across the globe and in various languages such as English, Dutch, French, Cantonese, and more.
I hope we get to see the backside of water.
#3 Jungle Cruise Color Palette Carries Over to Treasure | Disney Treasure Secrets
The walls inside the Skipper Society will be painted using the same red and green tones as the Jungle Cruise sign at Walt Disney World.
#2 Jungle Cruise Easter Eggs and Backside of Water | Disney Treasure Secrets
You may notice the vintage-style luggage stacked neatly behind the bar at Skipper Society featured in the artist's rendering of the venue.
Each suitcase will be plastered with travel stickers that represent locations depicted inside the Jungle Cruise attraction.
There will even be a travel sticker for the backside of water!
