Disney Cruise Line shared more details of the Cask & Cannon bar on the Disney Destiny, plus a first look at pirates merchandise that will be available on the ship.
Cask & Cannon
At Destination D23 this past weekend, Disney shared concept art of Cask & Cannon and a peek at the Dead Man’s Chest beverage experience. Disney Parks Blog states the space will be “a true pirate’s tavern filled with trinkets, treasures, and a trove of ‘Easter eggs’ inspired by the iconic Disney Parks attractions.”
The pub will be decked out in wooden planks — evoking the interior of a pirate ship — and outfitted with an eclectic mix of mismatched furniture and antiques, presumably pillaged by the pirates themselves. Nautical motifs and pirate iconography will be found throughout, from treasure maps and fishing nets to barrel stools, rum bottles, and skull-and-crossbones insignias.
Eagle-eyed fans will have much to discover in the intricate carvings framing the venue’s portholes that are cast in a charred wood look, a nod to the attractions’ burning village scene, while the most well-traveled buccaneers will spot distinctive lanterns inspired from the namesake attraction in Disneyland Paris.
There will even be a few fun nods to the beloved film series, such as the stacked treasure chests that make up the bar front, which take inspiration from the treasure rooms and Captain’s Quarters in the films. Around the corner from the bar will be a set of thirteen drawers filled with treasure maps, each labeled with different scenes representing the global parks and attractions, including The Ghostly Grotto, Port Royale, Talking Skull Bay, Blue Bayou (California), and Treasure Cove (Shanghai).
And don’t forget to look up and down in your quest to uncover every design gem. The ceiling of Cask & Cannon will feature a fantastical treasure map of the Caribbean Sea inspired by original artwork by legendary Disney artist and animator Marc Davis.
The drawing has been specially modified for this venue with several new additions, including seven pirate ships that represent the number of ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet with Disney Destiny joining as the seventh. And down below, cleverly woven into the carpet design will be each of the pirate lords’ Pieces of Eight as well as Captain Jack Sparrow’s compass — though whether it points to your heart’s desire is only for you to tell.
New Pirates Merch on the Disney Destiny
If spending time in Cask & Cannon has you singing “a pirate’s life for me,” then you’ll want to stock up on this all-new merchandise collection debuting aboard the Disney Destiny. Though we feel it’s necessary to note, pillaging is highly discouraged.
This swashbuckling assortment will offer one-of-a-kind bar tools and novelty drinkware (just add rum!) along with swaggering adult apparel, an adventure-ready tote bag for carrying your everyday treasures, and more, while supplies last.
The Disney Destiny sets sail on its maiden voyage on November 20 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
