Disney Cruise Line adding ‘Princess and the Frog’ inspired lounge

A New Orleans-themed lounge will be coming to the Disney Wonder this fall featuring live music and themed activities, the Disney Cruise Line announced.

The Disney Wonder will also see a new space for teens and a redesigned cafe for adults. The new enhancements debut on the Disney Wonder’s four-night sailing from Vancouver to San Diego on Sept. 30, 2019.

“The French Quarter Lounge will get a touch of bayou hospitality as they enjoy live music on the gazebo stage and sip specialty drinks at an updated whimsical bar,” according to the Disney Parks Blog.

During the day, the lounge will be used for New Orleans-themed family activities, trivia and character encounters. 

Decorative details will includ a life-size trolley car and nods to “The Princess and the Frog,” such as wrought-iron balconies, classic brick walls and shutter-framed windows.

Vibe, a club reserved for teens ages 14-17, will transform into a timeless feel with an open, bright redesign, a light color palette and industrial metal work, while a new coffee bar and updated virtual reality technology add to the list of activities for teens.

Adults will have an updated space all their own in the Cove Café, after a redesign that will transform the look and feel of the café into a local coffee shop. Ample seating and a relaxed atmosphere will invite guests to indulge themselves in this peaceful retreat, which is the perfect place to sip specialty coffee or tea throughout the day or partake in wine, cocktails and light bites during the evening. The Signals Bar is also undergoing a transformation with a similar look.
