Disney's First Castle at Sea: First Look at the Whimsical Storybook Castle Aboard the Disney Adventure

Disney Cruise Line has shared a look at the completed Storybook Castle aboard the Disney Adventure, as part of that ship's Disney Imagination Garden.

What's Happening:

• The first-ever Disney castle at sea will come to life aboard the Disney Adventure when it sets sail next year, and the ongoing Ship's Log on the Disney Parks Blog has showcased our first look at the completed art piece.
• The castle stands three decks tall, serving as a beautiful focal point of the Disney Imagination Garden neighborhood.
• Imagineers drew inspiration from all the Disney castles across the globe, amalgamating them into a paper cut-out style art piece reminiscent of a pop-up storybook.

• 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.
• As with all the other Disney castles, you'll find the Disney family crest at the center of this castle, as well as a beautiful three-panel-stained glass window.
• Each panel represents a Disney heroine and princess – including 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. 

• At the base of the storybook castle is a waterfall reminiscent of the Walt Disney Pictures castle shown before every Disney film.  
• Imagineers have also worked in a number of Easter Eggs and even a Hidden Mickey!

More on the Disney Adventure:
