The excitement is building as the time draws nearer for the Disney Destiny to take guests on their first voyage aboard this ship themed to heroes and villains. Ahead of its maiden voyage in November, more details are being revealed about the wonders that will be found within. Some of these details were revealed at last weekend’s Destination D23. More continue to be shared elsewhere, including the Disney Parks Blog. This week, Disney shared more details about the Cask & Cannon, a lounge themed to The Pirates of the Caribbean. This pub will immerse voyagers in the world of Pirates as they enjoy the themed culinary offerings and surroundings. Take a look at what was shared this week about the Cask & Cannon.
Inside Cask & Cannon
Stepping into Cask & Cannon will feel like entering 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).
Cask & Cannon Details
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.
The Cask & Cannon is the second pub themed to The Pirates of the Caribbean that has arrived this year for Disney guests. The Beak and Barrel also just opened at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort. What do you think of this new Pirates experience coming to the Disney Destiny?
