Welcome
to the official ship’s log for the Disney Treasure! Follow along for an
exclusive look into the complex ship building process as we document all the
important milestones of the Disney Treasure’s journey. The Disney
Treasure’s story began with the start of construction in January of 2023 and
has continued to evolve ever since. Return here for the latest developments in
the Disney Treasure’s progress as the world patiently waits for Disney Cruise
Line’s newest ship to officially set sail in 2024. The adventure is just
beginning!
First announced during the Grand Reveal of the Disney Treasure last year, Jumbeaux’s Sweets is a fanciful new dessert destination set to debut onboard the ship later this year.
How
does a space go from concept to reality? It’s all in the details! And
Jumbeaux’s Sweets, which will draw inspiration from Walt Disney Animation
Studios’ Academy Award®-winning “Zootopia,” is just one example of how Disney
Imagineers are collaborating with Disney Animation to turn beloved Disney
stories into real-life experiences at sea onboard the Disney Treasure.
From
the precise shade of bubblegum pink-striped wallpaper to the vintage-style
light fixtures, each décor element inside Jumbeaux’s Sweets was thoughtfully
chosen by Imagineers to transport future Disney Cruise Line guests into the
colorful world of Zootopia. The venue’s central design feature will be an
eye-catching statue of the film’s unlikely crime-solving duo, Officer Judy
Hopps and Nick Wilde.
The
statue-building process began with sketched designs and a collaboration between
Imagineers and the Walt Disney Animation team to create a one-of-a-kind digital
model of the piece. The precise measurements from the digital model were used
to cast the statue in bronze. Finally, the statue was transported to Florida to
be painted.
Jay Abruzzese can be seen adding the finishing touches to both characters. Soon the statue will be ready to be installed inside Jumbeaux’s Sweets and complete the vision Imagineers dreamed up long ago for the venue.
