Geekin' On WDW | Trip Reports From A Community of Disney World Fans

Aboard the Disney Treasure: Coco Dining, Moana Magic & A Proposal at Sea With Expert Cruiser Jeff O’Polka – Ep. 638

Listen Later

This week, I’m catching up with our long-time friend and Super Geek, Jeff O’Polka!
Jeff’s back to share stories from his 13th Disney Cruise, this time aboard the brand-new Disney Treasure!

Jeff’s a true Disney Cruise veteran — and now a Platinum Castaway Club member — so this episode is filled with insider wisdom, family traditions, and that signature mix of relaxation and Disney magic that keeps cruisers coming back for more.

Travel With Us

We set sail on the Western Caribbean itinerary, stopping in:

  • Cozumel, Mexico
  • Falmouth, Jamaica
  • Grand Cayman
  • Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay

    • Jeff and his family of ten have cruising down to an art — from group photos before boarding to connecting balcony rooms that transform into one big family hangout.

    Featuring Highlights
    • First impressions of the Disney Treasure and how it ranks among all the Disney ships
    • Dining delights, including the Coco-themed restaurant, 1923, and all-you-can-eat lobster night
    • Hidden gems for first-time cruisers — from pre-boarding photo ops to deck 11 food access hacks
    • Broadway-quality entertainment: Moana, Beauty and the Beast, and Seize the Day
    • A heartwarming proposal at sea
    • Smart cruise strategies — from choosing the right stateroom to prepaying gratuities and finding the best value itineraries
    • Why Jeff says the Disney Cruise Line experience is worth every penny, and how it compares to other cruise lines
      • Geekin’ Takeaways
      • All-inclusive ease: Most food and entertainment are included, making budgeting stress-free.
      • Book early: Reserve about a year in advance for the best rates and room options.
      • Cruiser hack: Bring an extra card to keep your cabin lights on — simple and brilliant.
      • Relax and reconnect: Disney Cruises are all about family, great service, and magical details.
      • Safe and social: Disney’s atmosphere makes everyone feel comfortable, from first-timers to families of 25.
        • Share the Magic
