The Disney Destiny is celebrating Halloween on the High Seas for the first time, and Disney Cruise Line introduced the ship’s own Pumpkin Tree. Named Solara, the enchanted tree has sprouted in the Destiny’s Grand Hall. She joins the lineup of unique Pumpkin Trees found aboard every other ship in the fleet. Disney Cruise Line shared the reveal on social media. In the post, Disney describes Solara as a mix of silly and spooky.
Disney Destiny Debuts Solara, Its First Pumpkin Tree, for Halloween on the High Seas
IN THIS ARTICLE:
- Solara is the Disney Destiny’s first Pumpkin Tree, debuting for the ship’s first Halloween on the High Seas season
- The tree is styled with a carved, expressive face and dozens of glowing jack-o’-lanterns and gourds hanging from its branches
- Every Disney Cruise Line ship has its own named Pumpkin Tree, and Solara now joins that tradition aboard the Destiny
A New Halloween Season Face for the Destiny’s Grand Hall
Solara stands at the center of the Destiny’s Grand Hall, her carved face looking out from a twisting trunk framed by trailing hair made of vines and leaves. Bands of amber, orange, and deep red gems run down her hair and trunk.
Branches stretch out in every direction above her, hung with jack-o’-lanterns and gourds in shades of orange, purple, and gold. Several of the lanterns carry carved faces of their own, lit from within. Lighting winds down through the trunk and around the base, which sits behind a decorative railing at the center of the room.
Joining an Established Disney Cruise Line Tradition
Every Halloween on the High Seas celebration begins with a Pumpkin Tree in the ship’s Grand Hall or Atrium. Each ship has its own tree, complete with a name, a personality, and a story that helps set the tone for the season.
- Reap represents the Disney Magic
- Bog is found on the Disney Wonder
- Grim appears aboard the Disney Dream
- Muckelbones is the Disney Fantasy’s tree
- Boo greets guests on the Disney Wish
- Ginger has taken root on the Disney Treasure
Solara now becomes the seventh name to join that list. It gives the Destiny its own identity within the tradition as the ship celebrates its first fall sailing season.
As the Halloween season continues aboard the Destiny, guests can expect storytelling moments built around Solara, along with the same glowing, whimsical atmosphere that’s become a signature of the celebration fleetwide.
