Entertainment, Nightclubs and Lounges

Nightlife to Match No Other!

The excitement on the Spirit will surpass that onboard any other ship afloat today. For families, couples, adults and children, there’s a never-ending list of places to go.

Before even reaching ports, passengers will be amazed at the variety of entertainment and nightlife available for guests both young and old, proving once again that nobody creates magic and stretches the imagination like Disney. Passengers can attend a Broadway-style stage musical, see a live band, comedian or entertainer, catch a movie, join in the action or simply relax in one of nine clubs and lounges.

Live Shows

Adults and children will be dazzled by first-class Broadway-style productions on the stage of the Walt Disney Theatre with all the singing, dancing, costumes and stunning special effects expected and more.

In addition to a rotation of one of the astounding original productions that have entertained audiences on the Magic and Wonder (Twice Charmed, The Golden Mickeys and Disney Dreams), the Spirit will present the following original extravaganzas that are exclusive to the Spirit.

Stitch’s Great Escape!

Based and expanding upon the Walt Disney World attraction of the same name, Stitch’s Great Escape! will follow the lovable but havoc-wreaking alien as he first lands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is rescued by no other than the crew of the Disney Spirit. Like the theme park attraction, this high-energy adventure unleashes wild sights, sounds and even smells on the audience. Watch for special appearances by the Spirit Captain and Cruise Director as the crew attempts to control their new high-maintenance passenger and the Galactic Federation Guards hot on his trail!

Islands of Magic, Islands of Myth

This magical tale of myths and dreams-come-true brings the history of the Hawaiian islands to life as told in 1846 to a young Lydia Kamakaʻeha, who will later become Liliʻuokalani, the last monarch of Hawaii. The theater will glow in the fire of a volcanic eruption as the Hawaiian islands are formed; ancient folk tales of the first inhabitants of Hawaii, including the small-statured menehune, will come alive; and stories will be told of the rise of the great kings including Kamehameha the Great who unified the Hawaiian islands in 1810. Astounding special effects, enchanting narration, and the largest cast ever assembled on a Disney Cruise Line stage will prime passengers for the adventure of their lives in the magical islands of Hawaii.

Hawaiian Musical!

Disney Cast Members will lead passengers in their own creation and production of a musical fit for cruise line audiences. Allowing opportunities for actors, singers, dancers, and designers of all ages, every theatrical resource onboard the Spirit will be available to a fledgling company of Disney guests. Not only will the participants experience the opportunity of a lifetime, but the audience will be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the production and some sneak peaks at how Disney stage magic is created. Interested passengers should register in the Walt Disney Theatre upon boarding.

Nightclubs and Lounges

on The Road to Hana

Nightlife options are abundant for our adult and teen cruisers in nine differently-themed clubs and lounges on the Disney Spirit. They’re great places to hit the dance or floor or just relax with new or old friends, have quiet romantic cocktails and conversation, or grab a nightcap after a show.

On the Magic there’s Beat Street. The Wonder has Route 66. And on the Spirit, the Road to Hana is the place to find adult nightlife. Named for the 53 mile road from Kahulai Airport on Maui to the remote town of Hana that’s filled with over 600 curves and 54 bridges, the Road to Hana is a destination itself. Bigger than the nightlife district on its sister ships and expanded over two decks, the Spirit’s Road to Hana, will offer passengers these roadside watering holes:

Ukulele Leili’s

Karaoke after dinner and a show turns to the hottest late-night disco on the ship at this two-story club that rivals any in downtown Honolulu or any city worldwide. The largest disco on any active cruise ship, Ukulele Leili’s offers nightly live bands on its lower level and DJs up above. Featuring pop to techno to classic punk, this hot location will keep passengers dancing late into the night. Cutting-edge bands direct from Hawaii and the Pacific Islands are also featured weekly.

Outriggers

Lean back and follow sports back home, watch Hawaiian sporting events or just hang loose with friends in this casual sports-themed bar. Complete with surfing, outrigging and Hawaiian extreme sports motifs, your attention will be kept by big-screen plasma TVs or bartenders who can clue you into the best Hawaiian surfing, sailing, golf or whatever your pleasure may be.

The Monarch Lounge

Enjoy a full-service bar and light hors d'oeuvres in this quieter and more intimate lounge that’s themed with the elegant European-inspired style of the Hawaiian monarchs of the nineteenth century. Nightly live piano or jazz trio performances complete the aura at this location that’s perfect for couples or small groups.

Baggies

This hey-day of Hawaiian surfing-themed bar named for classic surf shorts provides a place for teenagers to join in the fun. With nightly DJs or live bands serving up the sound, Baggies offers all of the excitement and face-pace enjoyment of the Spirit’s other clubs but without the alcohol.

Other Bars and Lounges

Either on deck or in a quiet corner, the Spirit offers a getaway for everyone around the clock at one of these locations.

Outlook Point

Passengers will feel like they’re at the top of the world in this full-service lounge that features 360-degree views from the highest public area on the ship. Guests can watch the sunset or maybe catch radiant Hawaiian rainbows while sipping fantastic island concoctions, specialty drinks, champagnes, wine, beer or non-alcoholic thirst-quenchers while taking in breathtaking views from the top deck of the ship.

Paradise Lounge

Relax and quench your thirst in this quiet alcove located near the adults-only Paradise Pool. Half-enclosed by glass walls, the Lounge looks out at the Kahawai Run lazy river and waterfalls. Full bar service with daily drink specials featuring the tastes of Hawaii and Polynesia. A light bar menu will also be available.

Kona

Passengers can unwind and get away from it all to enjoy specialty island coffees and select cocktails at this quiet midship break from the onboard excitement. Also supplying books, magazines and Internet connections, this leisurely location will be reserved for guests aged 18 and older.

Hang Loose

This lounge for teens is open afternoons and evenings daily and located within the “most excellent” Kilohana Club. Loaded with video games, big screen plasma TVs, Internet connections, music, movies and lots of room to just hang out, Hang Loose will give the almost-adult set their own place to congregate and have fun. Cast Member counselors allow teens to take part in activities or just hang back.

Studio High 5ive

Based on Studio Sea on the Magic and Wonder, but a full three times the size and extending from decks four into five. This colossal family club provides daytime and evening activities for passengers of all ages, from daytime classes and demonstrations to evening karaoke contests, talent shows and TV-style interactive game shows to after-dinner family parties. In this sound-stage-meets-high-tech-disco design, kids will feel like they’ve got their own space and parents will feel like they’re a hip part of the action too. Programming will include annual live broadcasts by Radio Disney and guest Radio Disney DJs.

Deck Parties

Disney Cruise Line is known for its elaborate deck parties with singers, dancers and favorite Disney characters. And the Spirit will keep that magic growing.

Aloha Party

The sail-away celebration on the Spirit, the Aloha Party literally sets the stage for the fun and entertainment that will be served up over the cruise. The Spirit’s stage performers, live band and DJs all keep the crowd on their feet and ready for the days ahead.

Hawaiian Luau

The Spirit’s Luau at Sea invites passengers to wear their muumuus and aloha shirts in celebration of the spirit of the islands. Rivaling the best parties and entertainment at any island site, the Spirit’s luau is the most expensive deck party in the history of cruising. Featuring traditional luau food including Kalua pig, poi, grilled mahi mahi and other meats and fishes, the festivities continue on deck where passengers will be treated to a must-see performance rich in Hawaiian, Polynesian, Maori and Samoan mythology and history. Quite possibly the most beautiful and unusual production ever on a cruise ship, the performance includes a spell-binding blend of acrobatics, chants, hula, fire knife dancing, and much more. Island Mickey, Hula Minnie, Donald, Goofy and friends are there too to entertain the young ones. This special evening is capped with two fireworks displays—one following dinner and another at the end of the evening as the spirits bid good night.

Mahalo

Thank you and farewell from the crew of the Spirit. On the final night of cruising, singing, dancing and entertainment continues to celebrate the journey and say “til we meet again” to the best cruise experience on the high seas.

Nightly Fireworks

Fireworks follow all deck parties and activities every night on deck. Times vary so both night owls as well as young children and early risers can experience the magic.

Movies

Buena Vista Theatre

As on the Magic and Wonder, the state-of-the-art Buena Vista Theatre offers first-run features, classic films and Disney favorites. Each cruise will offer daytime runs of Lilo and Stitch and classic Disney cartoons, a series of World War II pictures and documentaries focusing on the war in the Pacific, and a mini-festival of the movies that Elvis filmed in Hawaii—Blue Hawaii, Girls Girls Girls, and Paradise Hawaiian Style. The concessions stand will now feature beverages, snacks and freshly popped popcorn with real butter.

Poolside Movies

A jumbo LED screen over the Big Kahuna wave pool features nighttime movies under the stars including a Disney favorite for an up-late night for the kids, an Elvis classic, and a sing-a-long South Pacific.
