The exclusive Mickey artwork (pictured below) is just for the 25th Anniversary and is only gifted to Castaway Club guests on these unique sailings. The artwork was left in our stateroom by our cabin steward the same night of the Shimmering Seas firework show and soiree. The special fireworks show is called "Shimmering Seas Light the Sky." On my recent sailing onboard Disney Fantasy, this one-of-a-kind show was conducted during the first full day, which happened to be a sea day.

Celebrate 25 years of making magic, fun and memories with special limited-time offerings, like a new fireworks show on select “Silver Anniversary at Sea” itineraries, characters in anniversary attire, specialty merchandise and more. For nearly two-and-a-half decades, members of the Castaway Club have played an integral role in the Disney Cruise Line story. To honor this special anniversary, a new membership tier named “Pearl” was added to honor the valued relationship we have formed with guests over the years and is inspired by the time it takes for a pearl to be formed in nature. The Shimmering Seas collection features light blue colorways and sparkling fabrics that are reminiscent of sunshine reflecting upon turquoise waters, along with festive silver accents.
Exclusive decor on Castaway Cay
The firework shows can all be seen from the main pool deck, and I recommend getting up there early, as many guests start picking out their spot to watch the show early! It featured new and original music to provide a fun atmosphere for guests to celebrate. Because of this, if you are someone who is interested in trying this exclusive cocktail, I highly recommend ordering it very early on in a cruise, perhaps on embarkation day. As I made my way throughout the ship, I really began to appreciate the special little details at the bars and lounges. For all the details on the Disney Cruise Line 25thAnniversary Sweepstakes, visit our sweepstakeswebsite which includes information onthe prizes, instructions on how to enter, and more.
The Trade Federation Troop Carrier will be available as a free gift with Star Wars LEGO purchases over $160 starting May 1. The build is packed with authentic details, even down to Tantive IV’s 11 engines and turbolasers. Inside the box is a fold out user guide with the following friendly note for guest choosing to use this speaker during the cruise.
Construction on Second Chinese-Built Cruise Ship Well Underway
The bluetooth connection is similar to connecting any other wireless speaker, just look for DCL 25th Anniversary Ship Speaker in your bluetooth nearby device list when powering on the speaker. The lights rotate through a cycle by default, but the light mode can be set to one of the fixed colors, or turned off. Items in Disney Cruise Line’s 25th Anniversary Shimmering Seas Collection will be available at shops on each of Disney Cruise Line’s ships starting in May 2023. If you’re a fan of spirit jerseys, there’s a new eye-catching iteration coming as part of the Shimmering Seas Collection!
First Look: 25th Anniversary Disney Cruise Line Shimmering Seas Collection
It is worth noting for post-cruise travel plans, especially those with luggage restrictions, the box measures approximately 13″ x 9.5″ x 7.5″ and weights about 5 pounds. When it comes to drinks, the Jubilee by the Sea cocktail is made with sparkly silver dusting and a shimmering blue sugar rim. A special anniversary Coca-Cola bottle, a specialty coffee mug, a 25th-anniversary beer mug, and a Silver Anniversary at Sea popcorn bucket will also be available. The Jubilee by the Sea cocktail combines 818 Blanco Tequila, Luxardo Maraschino, and fresh lemon juice with a sparkly, silver dusting and a shimmering blue sugar rim. Plus, guests will get to bring home a special bookmark featuring how to make this tasty cocktail at home.
On board, shimmering blue accents will adorn each ship’s atrium, while a special anniversary icon will provide the picture-perfect backdrop for a commemorative photo. We’ve already shown you a sneak preview of the Shimmering Seas merchandise collection, which includes new ears, a new Loungefly backpack, a spirit jersey, and more. For 25 years, Disney Cruise Line has been a porthole through which guests experience global destinations and create cherished memories onboard a one-of-a-kind fleet of enchanting ships. Throughout 2023 is the only time that guests sailing with Disney Cruise Line will be able to experience the fun events, entertainment, and offerings provided for this special anniversary. The fun will begin with new outfits for Captain Minnie Mouse and Captain Mickey Mouse, with shimmering teal and blue tones and white, sparkling accents to emphasize a connection to the sea. A new signature song and new family entertainment will debut on all ships, exclusively for the anniversary celebration.
Special souvenirs and memorabilia
If that isn’t enough, Disney Cruise Line has just announced a new Castaway Club Membership Tier to celebrate those exclusive Guests who have sailed on 25 cruises or more. The new membership tier, Pearl, will give these top tier Guests new at-home and onboard benefits that will be announced early in 2023. The Silver Anniversary at Sea cruises begin May 1st with the newest cruise ship the Disney Wish. The Disney Magic, which turns 25 this summer will sail her first anniversary cruise on May 24th during a 3-night Bahamian cruise from Miami.
Again, if there is something guests wish to pick up during their cruise, I recommend making the purchase as soon as possible. The 25th Anniversary Trivia was all about the history of Disney Cruise Line, and the guests that won the trivia game received a special complimentary prize! This particular trivia event was adults-only and took place in one of the lounges onboard. Another exclusive event that you should not miss is the Shimmering Seas Soiree. This event takes place in the atrium of the ship and is usually on the same night as the Shimmering Seas firework show.
For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The iconic TIE Interceptor starfighter was part of the first-ever launch of LEGO Star Wars UCS sets in the year 2000. Buildable details include its wings, cockpit interior, laser cannons, and rear engine. Comprised of 640 pieces, this build aimed at kids ages 9 and up recreates Darth Maul’s personal starship and Bloodfin Speeder. 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the first LEGO Star Wars set, and to celebrate, a new collection is being released. The speaker I have does not play any sound and is currently a $120 dust collector that lights up.
A hot/cold tumbler will be available to keep special coffees hot and the Disney Parks Blog article implies guests will get a specialty coffee with purchase. Signature desserts throughout the entire fleet, as well as the Chocolate Soufflé from Palo and PALO Steakhouse will be getting a special 25th chocolate piece as an accompaniment. All Castaway Club Members of every tier will receive a newly designed lanyard to store their stateroom keycards and a tote bag perfect for the beach. These complimentary gifts will be placed in guests’ staterooms upon arrival. If there is an item you have your eyes on, I recommend picking it up as soon as possible.
Of special interest is the July 13, 2023 departure, a 10-night Southern Caribbean sailing. There will also be a NEW signature song for the celebration that was created especially for the anniversary. Another way to celebrate is with themed food and drinks like desserts, craft cocktails, and more. Disney has shared four ways in particular that the celebrations will be happening. These designs will feature swirls reminiscent of ocean waves, as well as multi-toned fabric in the signature color of the celebration, which is called Shimming Seas (it appears to be a turquoise color).
The theme of the Shimmering Seas merchandise collection is “Silver Anniversary at Sea” with items featuring a light blue glittery colorway. The choice of hue is intended to conjure up images of the sunshine reflecting off of turquoise waters! In tribute of the Silver Anniversary, you can expect items to feature silver accents as well.
The 25th Anniversary Crafts activity was also an adults-only activity, where you could make a special sign for your stateroom's door. However, there were other craft activities throughout the cruise that were designated for kids and families. In some of the bars and lounges, Disney had placed little 25th Anniversary bookmark for guests to take as a souvenir for free. On the bookmark, you'll find the recipe for the "Jubilee By The Sea," so guests can try their hand at making this drink for themselves back at home.
