We can’t believe we can officially say that we have sailed from Singapore on the Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Adventure!
Sorcerer Mickey Topiary in Imagination Garden
We have never seen a ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet quite like this one. There is so much to see and do, and the theming is impeccable. One thing that really stands out with this ship, which is both unique and breathtaking, is that there are seven uniquely themed areas. We got to visit and explore every themed area, and we have been excited to show you everything!
The Disney Imagination Garden is like the centerpiece of the Disney Adventure! The courtyard is beautifully decorated, with a Sorcerer Mickey topiary, golden “trees” that provide shade, and the first Disney castle on a Disney cruise.
The Castle on the Disney Adventure
You’ll also find a stage in the area for all sorts of entertainment for you to enjoy during your cruise, including the Let’s Set Sail dance party, Avengers Assemble!, and Duffy and The Friend Ship.
Disney Imagination Garden
The Disney Imagination Garden also offers a great spot for meet-and-greets with characters. Right next to the area is where you’ll find two dining locations — Gramma Tala’s Kitchen and Mowgli’s Eatery. We loved this spot, and could’ve spent so much time here just relaxing.
Gramma Tala’s Kitchen
Let’s head to the upper decks for a second to check out Toy Story Place, which spans a lot of the upper decks of the cruise!
Toy Story Place!
This place is fun for the whole family, but especially for kiddos! There is tons to do here, like the Sunnyside Family Pool, Woody and Jessie’s Wild Slides, the Flying Saucer Splash Zone, the Toy Story Splash Pad, and multiple whirlpool spas.
Woody and Jessie Wild Slides
Not looking to get wet just yet? You can go to Toy Story Place to watch films play on two jumbo screens throughout the day. Or how about something to eat? Of course, you can check out Pizza Planet, as well as Wheezy’s Freezies, for a sweet frozen treat. This is in the conversation for the best area for families, so it gets pretty busy almost all day long.
Toy Story Place
Let’s stick with the Pixar theme and head to our next spot, Disney Discovery Reef. Well, it’s not just Pixar themed here, but it is a big part of the area! This area is inspired by iconic Disney films, including The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Lilo & Stitch, and Luca. This is an open-air area, giving you a great view of the sky and lots of sun. The area has beautiful coral reef displays, and you can even see Dory and Nemo.
Discovery Disney Reef
However, this place TRULY shines at night, turning into a stunning bioluminescent scene! You need to be here during the day and the night; it’s like two different experiences.
Discovery Reef at night
Of course, there is dining and entertainment in this area. Here you’ll find Cosmic Kebabs, Bewitching Boba and Brews, Taverna Portorosso, Palo Café, Palo Trattoria, and Mike and Sulley’s Flavors of Asia.
Down there is Disney Discovery Reef!
Shall we head back up to the upper deck to see where all the Marvel fans will be heading? Marvel Landing is located at the very top of the ship, and you’ll see why. Here, you can meet a few different Marvel characters throughout the day, but its main draw is that there are THREE RIDES in this land — like, three Disney attractions on this cruise!
Marvel Landing
If you’re looking for thrills, Marvel Landing is the spot for you. We’re not kidding, there are ACTUAL rides on this cruise ship! The attractions are called Groot Galaxy Spin, Pym Quantum Racers, and Ironcycle Test Run — which is the first roller coaster ever on a Disney cruise!
Ironcycle Test Run on Marvel Landing
Groot Galaxy Spin is similar to Dumbo at the parks. It’s a spinning attraction for all ages. Pym Quantum Racers is another family-friendly ride similar to Tomorrowland Speedway, but it was very slow, and we saw it break down quite a few times. Marvel fans, assemble here!
Marvel Landing!
Let’s stay on the upper decks and check out Wayfinder Bay! This is the place you come to chill and relax. Wayfinder Way has a wading pool, tiered deck seating, and entertainment themed to Moana.
Wayfinder Bay
Come here for a nice dip in the pool and check out the giant screen near the pool that offers an experience for interactive events and live shows like Moana: Call of the Sea. Or, stop by the Wayfinder Bar, where we grabbed a few drinks!
The big screen!
This area isn’t adult-only, but it wasn’t a chaotic part of the ship either. This may be one of the calmer parts of the ship, since it is more geared towards relaxation. Trust us, you’ll need some time at Wayfinder Bay!
Let’s relax!
Let’s head back down and check out Town Square, which we ADORED. We aren’t exaggerating when we say it’s like stepping into a fairytale! Here you’ll find theming elements inspired by Cinderella, Tiana, Anna, Elsa, Rapunzel, and all your favorite Disney princesses.
Town Square
The place had lots of dining and shopping areas. However, the big draw is the stunning Walt Disney Theatre, where you can watch live Broadway-level performances throughout your vacation. If there’s anything you need to mark down as a must-do on your cruise, it’s this!
Walt Disney Theatre
Some other things you can check out in this area are the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and an elegant tea party experience meant for royalty called the Royal Society for Friendship and Tea. There’s also the Marvel Style Suite for those who want to become a superhero. Disney villains fans should check out the Spellbound lounge as well.
Marvel Style
Lastly, let’s head to San Fransokyo Street, which will shock you with its theming! This whole area is inspired by the fictional city from Disney’s beloved animated movie, Big Hero 6. Here you’ll find Edge and Vibe, clubs for tweens and teens disguised as shops on the square. Edge is a high-energy hangout for tweens aged 11–14, featuring gaming, music, and activities. Vibe is a trendy lounge for teens aged 14–17, offering movies, socializing, and video games. Nightlife is for the kids in this area!
San Fransokyo Street
Another thing that took our breath away was Baymax Cinemas, where you can sit down, relax, and watch a Disney movie. Also, check out some special shopping opportunities at Duffy and Friends Shop. You can also take part in the Duffy and Friends Discovery Quest, where you can follow clues to lost items around the ship and get a special prize.
Hey Baymax!
There is so much more fun to be had in the Big Hero Arcade. Also, be on the lookout for Baymax, who often comes out to say hi to guests! We could spend forever in this themed area; it was truly incredible!
San Fransokyo Square
Well, there you have it, that’s the brief tour of the seven themed areas on the Disney Adventure. Make sure to check out Disney Food Blog so you can see even MORE of what this ship has to offer!
