Disney Cruise Line has introduced Solara, a new Enchanted Pumpkin Tree exclusive to the Disney Destiny ship. This glowing character features 26 carved pumpkins and 31 ember jewels, embodying both the delight and fright aspects of Halloween. Solara is integrated into the narrative of Zayah and Gamble, two storytellers who share legends of magical trees with passengers. Guests can witness her awakening during an original show in the Grand Hall on embarkation night, where they participate in chants for either side. After the performance, visitors can take photos with Solara throughout their voyage, with enhanced lighting effects visible after dark. The Disney Destiny offers Halloween on the High Seas sailings from Fort Lauderdale, featuring additional activities like trick-or-treating and Mickey’s Mouse-Querade Party.
