During the Grand Reveal of the Disney Treasure last year, Jumbeaux’s Sweets was announced as the new dessert destination that will debut onboard the ship later this year. Disney Cruise Line has given us a first look at the characters that guests will see inside the new sweet shop!
Disney fans know that Walt Disney Imagineers make concepts become reality in everything they do, and it’s all in the details. Jumbeaux’s Sweets draws inspiration from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award®-winning Zootopia. This space is just one example of how Disney Imagineers collaborate with Disney Animation to turn cherished Disney stories into real-life experiences at sea onboard the Disney Treasure.
From the precise shade of bubblegum pink-striped wallpaper to the vintage-style light fixtures, each décor element inside Jumbeaux’s Sweets was thoughtfully chosen by Imagineers to transport future Disney Cruise Line guests into the colorful world of Zootopia. The venue’s central design feature will be an eye-catching statue of the film’s unlikely crime-solving duo, Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.
The statue-building process began with sketched designs and a collaboration between Imagineers and the Walt Disney Animation team to create a one-of-a-kind digital model of the piece. The precise measurements from the digital model were used to cast the statue in bronze. Finally, the statue was transported to Florida to be painted.
In the images above, Jay Abruzzese is seen putting the finishing touches on both characters. Soon, the statue will be ready to be installed inside Jumbeaux’s Sweets, completing the vision Imagineers dreamed up long ago for the venue.
