National Geographic’s Disney Treasure Documentary Premieres Friday, March 28

Guests can get their popcorn ready, because National Geographic’s new documentary is heading to a screen near them. In the highly anticipated sequel to its popular special, “Making the Wish: Disney’s Newest Cruise Ship,” National Geographic goes behind the scenes to spotlight how Disney Cruise Line brings stories from beloved films and theme park attractions to life at sea like never before on the Disney Treasure.

The film gives a peek behind the curtain of the first Broadway-style adaptation of the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ hit, Moana, and travels to Mexico for an inside look at the creation of Plaza de Coco, an onboard restaurant inspired by the Pixar Animation Studios’ film, Coco. And guests won’t want to miss the unprecedented glimpse into the realm of illusions that Disney Imagineers build inside Haunted Mansion Parlor, an immersive bar themed to the Disney Parks’ Haunted Mansion attractions.

“Magic of the Disney Treasure” premieres this Friday, March 28 at 10 p.m. EST on the National Geographic Channel. Guests can tune in for a full evening of Disney programming that kicks off at 7:30 p.m. EST with “EPCOT Becoming: Inside the Transformation,” followed by “Making the Wish: Disney’s Newest Cruise Ship.”

The evening will conclude with a showing of “Magic of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point” at 11 p.m. EST and a second chance to see “EPCOT Becoming: Inside the Transformation” and “Magic of the Disney Treasure” at 12 a.m. and 1 a.m. EST on March 29. Guests can also catch the debut of the documentary on Disney+ and Hulu on March 29.

The film was created by National Geographic’s Yellow Border Production Services and Yellow Shoes Studio. Guests can check out the teaser trailer here and stay tuned for the big debut of “Magic of the Disney Treasure” this Friday!
