Come sail aboard the Disney Treasure with us!

The Disney Treasure, the latest addition to the Disney Cruise Line, is set to make its maiden voyage on December 21st, 2024, but you don’t have to wait that long to check it out! Disney invited us out to be among the first to sail aboard the new ship and we’re bringing you all the ins and outs of this amazing vessel, including the Worlds of Marvel dining experience!

During our trip, we’ll be checking out EVERYTHING this ship has to offer while bringing you all the latest info, so be sure to check out our Disney Treasure guide to stay up-to-date on all the latest ship updates!

From Disney Treasure restaurants to wild experiences like the AquaMouse, we’ve got you covered! We’re especially excited to tell you about the Worlds of Marvel dining experience.

Background

So if you haven’t guessed yet, the Worlds of Marvel dining experience is dedicated to all things Marvel. It’s sort of a dinner with a show, but in the two nights you get to dine in the restaurant, you get two different shows and menus.

The NEW show, exclusive to the Treasure is “Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix.” Because the Disney Treasure features longer sailings, passengers will dine at Worlds of Marvel twice, and it’s on the second night that passengers will experience this show. The first night at Worlds of Marvel features the “Avengers: Quantum Encounter” show you can find on the Disney Wish as well.

Atmosphere

You’ll see a lot of nods to Marvel heroes throughout the dining space, so be on the lookout for those.

The restaurant itself has a sort of high-tech feel.

You’ll notice a quantum core at each table that lights up and interacts with the rest of the show going on around you! This is a fun restaurant for anyone, but especially kiddos.

Eats & Drinks

To start our meal, we ordered the Wakanda Tasting Lab cocktail flight! This is an added cost since it’s alcoholic, which is something to keep in mind. It’s “A taste of cocktails developed by Wakanda Design Group mixologists, using ingredients cultivated on Mount Bashenga.” The cocktails are made with Starr Rum 7 Yrs, Vusa Vodka, and Bayab Gin, and we really enjoyed them.

Kicking things off as any decent Disney restaurant should — with bread service! This was a six-grain country bread with caramelized onion sauce. This was a solid dinner roll but nothing to write home about. It was chewy on the outside and soft inside.

The caramelized onion sauce on the side wasn’t particularly onion-heavy to us and we didn’t get any on the caramelized notes, either. We’re not entirely sure we were served the right thing, but you can always ask for butter on the side if you’d prefer it.

We also ordered the White Cheddar, Broccolini Soup with a Crisp Dark Pumpernickel Crouton, which was recommended by our server. It’s nice and creamy, but not super heavy. It’s also cheesy, but you can also taste the broccolini in it. It’s a solid appetizer, but we would probably choose the porcini Sacchetti over this if given the option. But if you want a soup, this is a good bet.

For appetizers, we started with the Porcini Sacchetti. It’s made with porcini mushrooms, swiss and fontina cheese, garlic, and a thyme prosecco wine sauce. This reminds us of the Pasta Purseiites served in the Animator’s Palate on other Disney ships, which we love. They are SO good and soft. You get four, making it the perfect little appetizer.

The Ahi Tuna Poke was by far our favorite of all the appetizers we tried. It was so flavorful — there was a lot of cilantro and ginger that helped add to the freshness of the dish. The tuna itself was also incredibly tender and fresh.

We also grabbed the Heirloom Tomato Caprese which is just a classic menu item — this one was fantastic. The tomatoes were tender but not mushy and the aged balsamic dressing was perfectly tangy. It’s what you’d expect from a Caprese and we certainly weren’t complaining!

We ordered the Malaysian Chicken Satay for another appetizer. It’s served with coconut rice, cucumber, and a roasted peanut dipping sauce. The chicken was well-cooked and glazed with a sweet sauce. The peanut sauce for dipping was also delicious. We also liked the cup of red peppers and zucchini. However, the rice was overcooked and way too soft.

For one entree, we chose the Roasted Marinated Peri Peri Chicken, which is served with long green beans, honey-roasted sweet potatoes, charred Bearss lime, and peri peri sauce. The meat was so tender and the flavor was well marinated. It sat in a bed of peri peri sauce that was more tomato-flavored than filled with any heat. The toasted lime also added a nice acidity — we liked squeezing it over the sides.

For the plant-based eaters out there, we tried the Wild Mushroom Sweet Onion Strudel — which was absolutely incredible. We were truly shocked by how much we enjoyed this — even those of us who don’t love tofu. The flavors were balanced with the earthiness of the mushrooms, the sweetness of the onion, and the creamy tofu. The phyllo pastry stayed crispy and the basil dressing on the plate brought brightness to the otherwise savory dish.

We ordered the Beef Wellington and ended up liking it just fine. The pastry was cooked well and the meat was good quality and incredibly tender, but we weren’t wowed by any of the flavor — it was sort of bland. The mushroom duxelle wasn’t very flavorful, either, but if you’re a meat-and-potatoes kind of person, this is a safe bet.

The Linguini Nero is made with garlic shrimp, Malabar spinach, roasted grape tomatoes, and parmesan reggiano. This was definitely a standout amongst the entrees we had at Worlds of Marvel. The shrimp was slightly overcooked but just barely, and there were plenty of veggies and cheese!

We also tried the Tamari and Honey Glazed Salmon Filet with soba noodles, baby bok choy, lime, and toasted sesame seeds. This was another hit for us! The glaze on the salmon was sweet and salty thanks to the honey and tamari which made it the best thing on the plate. The soba noodles were just okay — they were coated in some teriyaki sauce but they absorbed most of it by the time the food arrived at our table.

It’s time for some sweets! We grabbed the Double Blueberry Cheesecake, which has a blueberry cheesecake “bubble” glazed in blueberry sauce, atop a lemon shortbread crust. We didn’t taste much lemon, but this is a solid option for cheesecake fans!

The Cappuccino Mousse was one of the no-sugar-added desserts, but you’d never know it! It was VERY good with a great combination of coffee and raspberry flavors. The mousse is light and leans heavier on the coffee flavor rather than any chocolate.

Our server recommended the Celebration Cake and boy, are we glad they did. It’s a layer of baked cheesecake, topped with a layer of pastry cream which made the whole dessert. It totally gave us strawberry shortcake vibes!

Next, we tried the Chocolate Decadence made with bitter chocolate cream, truffle cream, and chocolate sauce. This dish definitely lives up to its name — it truly was decadent! If you’re a chocolate lover, this is absolutely what you need to order at this restaurant. With that being said, there are better chocolate desserts on the Treasure — like the lava cake at 1923.

The Orchard Peach Tart was one dessert we tried, which is an almond peach tart with vanilla sauce and dulce de leche ice cream. It’s served as a triangular piece with fresh peach slices toasted into it. The main tart is like a spongy cake with a tart base that didn’t crack open when we cut into it. The dollop of ice cream on it with the sauce over the top just adds an extra level of sweetness. This was delicious.
