Do you remember about a year ago when Hannah shared a Disney Cruise Line ad that completely wrecked us emotionally? The one with the sweet towel animal patiently waiting for his family to board? In the short film, the little towel dog wandered around the Disney Wish, exploring spots like the Oceaneer Club and riding AquaMouse, all while hoping his next family would arrive soon. When they finally did, that tail wag at the end was enough to turn even the toughest cruisers into puddles.
Now that story has officially jumped off the screen and into real life.
Disney Cruise Line has announced that Evie, the beloved towel animal from that ad, is now available for purchase onboard its ships in plush form. Yes, the same impossibly cute towel dog is now something you can actually take home with you after your cruise.
The Evie towel animal plush captures all the charm of the original character, from the floppy ears to the soft, neutral fabric that feels just as cozy as the towels folded by your stateroom host. There’s even a tiny Disney Cruise Line-style sailor cap perched on Evie’s head, which somehow makes the plush even harder to resist. And it even has the DCL logo on it! Who am I kidding? There’s NO chance of resisting this!
This plush feels like a love letter to one of the little things Disney Cruise Line does so well. Anyone who has sailed knows that towel animals are more than just a fun surprise. They’re part of the experience. They greet you after long days of sheer relaxation, show up with sunglasses or props, and somehow manage to feel like a member of the family by the end of the voyage.
Being able to bring Evie home means bringing a small piece of that magic with you when you disembark. Whether it ends up on a child’s bed, tucked into a cruise memory display, or sitting proudly on a shelf, it’s the kind of souvenir that actually means something.
If you’ve ever smiled at a towel animal in your stateroom, fair warning: this plush is going to test your willpower in the gift shop. We’ll update this post with the price as soon as we’re able to verify it.
