The Disney Treasure is the ship a lot of toddler families overlook, because its one real catch is right there in the itinerary: it sails 7-night Caribbean trips, and a full week at sea is a different commitment than a long-weekend Bahamas hop. Get past that, though, and it is one of the strongest ships in the fleet for little kids, because underneath the adventure theming it is a Wish-class ship, which means it has the newest and largest family infrastructure Disney has built.

Launched in December 2024 as the sixth Disney ship and the second of the Wish class, the Treasure leans into an around-the-world adventure theme, from an Aladdin-inspired Grand Hall to a Coco dining room. Here is what that actually means when your travel party includes a two-year-old.

The Water Areas Are Wish-Class, Which Is the Point

The headline ride is the AquaMouse, Disney’s water attraction with 760 feet of tube suspended over the top deck. On the Treasure it runs a story called “Curse of the Golden Egg,” sending you through an ancient temple with booby traps. Like every big water ride in the fleet, it has a height minimum, so your toddler is a spectator on this one for a year or two. Check the current requirement before you promise anything.

What matters more for the under-fives is the Toy Story-themed splash district built specifically for families with toddlers and young kids. This is where a two-year-old actually spends a sea day: low water features and shallow splash areas sized for little bodies, not a ladder in sight. It is the same design philosophy as the Nemo’s Reef and Toy Story splash zones on the other new ships, and it is the reason Wish-class ships punch above their weight for this age.

Childcare: the Nursery and the Oceaneer Club

The Treasure has the It’s a Small World Nursery, which takes children from 6 months to 3 years, with cribs for nap time and drop-off care for an hourly fee. If you want an actual dinner at Palo, this is the only path for an under-3, so book the dinner-hour slots the moment your window opens. Our full nursery guide covers the cost and booking windows.

Once a child turns 3 and is potty trained, the free Oceaneer Club opens up, and the Treasure’s is one of the biggest and best-themed in the fleet, with a Marvel Super Hero Academy, a Star Wars Cargo Bay, and Fairytale Hall. No reservation, no upcharge, and kids move between spaces during open hours.

Booking note: The nursery is the only childcare for kids under 3, and the dinner slots go fast. Reserve them as early as your booking window allows if a grown-up dinner matters to you.

Dining, Including the One Room People Talk About

Rotational dining moves you through three restaurants. Two of them, 1923 and Worlds of Marvel, carry over from the Wish. The one unique to the Treasure is Plaza de Coco, a two-night celebration themed to the movie Coco, with live performance woven into the meal. For a kid who loves that film, it lands harder than a room that just has themed art on the walls.

The adults get Palo and Enchanté as upcharge, adults-only specialty restaurants, plus a strong set of themed bars including a Haunted Mansion Parlor. None of that is toddler territory, but the point of the nursery is that some of the evening can be.

The 7-Night Question

This is the real decision with the Treasure, and it is worth being honest about. A full week is a lot of cruise with a toddler. More sea days means more time to fill, more nights of adjusted bedtime, and more chances for a nap schedule to slip. For a first sailing with a very young child, a shorter trip is often the smarter test run.

But a week also has real advantages at this age. You unpack once and stay put. The kid settles into the ship’s rhythm by day three instead of just as it ends. And a Caribbean itinerary gives you more sea days, which for a toddler is a feature, not a bug, because the ship is the destination and the splash zone is right there. Families who already know their kid travels well tend to love the longer trip.

How It Compares to Its Sisters

The Treasure shares its bones with the Disney Wish and the Disney Destiny: same AquaMouse, same Oceaneer Club structure, same nursery, same split-bathroom staterooms. The differences are theme and itinerary. The Wish does short princess-forward Bahamas trips, the Destiny does short heroes-and-villains sailings from Fort Lauderdale, and the Treasure does the full-week adventure-themed Caribbean run.

If you want the newest Disney ship experience and you are ready for a week at sea, the Treasure is the pick. If a week feels like too much for your kid right now, the same experience in a shorter format is waiting on the Wish or the Destiny. Our Disney Destiny guide walks through the shared Wish-class layout in more detail, and the cost calculator will show you what a 7-night sailing runs before you commit.

The Bottom Line

The Disney Treasure is a superb toddler ship wearing a slightly grown-up costume. The adventure theme and the Coco dining read as a touch older, but the water zones, the nursery, and the Oceaneer Club are the same top-tier Wish-class family setup. The only question that matters is whether your family is ready for seven nights. If you are, it is one of the best ships afloat for little kids. If you are not quite there, take the shorter version first and come back to the Treasure when the week feels easy.

Booking tip: a Disney-specialist travel agency costs the same as booking direct.

Agencies like Get Away Today and Dreams Unlimited charge no fees, match Disney's pricing, and an agent handles the phone calls, rebooking when prices drop, and the fine print. There is no catch; Disney pays their commission either way.
