00:00It's Bennett from the New 96.5.

00:02We are on board the brand new Disney Treasure.

00:04And of course you see behind me this beautiful set

00:07of the Moana Broadway style production

00:09that's going on tonight.

00:10I cannot wait to see this.

00:11Rachel, so nice to see you.

00:12How are you?

00:13Very great, thank you.

00:14This is absolutely stunning.

00:17We saw Moana 2 last night on board the Disney Treasure.

00:20My daughter is a huge Moana fan.

00:22She's all dressed up.

00:23How could you not be?

00:24How could you not be?

00:25Just talk about this set, this production.

00:27I mean, this is truly marvelous.

00:28You were saying this is like one of your favorites.

00:30You've been doing this for a while.

00:31Yeah, I've been with Disney Cruise Line a long time.

00:33And of course I love all the shows, I really do.

00:35But this is Moana, Disney's tale of Moana is quite special.

00:41And the first adaptation, live theatrical performance.

00:46We're so proud, we're so honored.

00:48It's incredibly fitting for the theme

00:51of this ship of adventure.

00:52Nobody has a bigger adventure than Moana, right?

00:55So it's honestly takes you on a whirlwind of emotions

01:00and you're right in there in the production.

01:04And our Disney Live Entertainment team

01:06have just done a beautiful job

01:08of bringing this story to live theater.

01:10I can't imagine the work and the amount of people

01:13that have to put this together.

01:15How many people are working on this set

01:17and this production all together?

01:18No, a lot.

01:19A lot, what to say?

01:20But I will tell you that what's beautiful about this

01:24is that we, Disney, knew we needed help

01:27to tell it in an authentic way.

01:29And so we have some amazing cultural representatives

01:32that were with us the entire way.

01:34They're still here on board now.

01:37And we have, it's a true representation

01:40of the Pacific Islands

01:42and the wonderful village of Montenegro, right?

01:46So I can't wait for you to see it.

01:47I cannot wait.

01:48And then I'm gonna find you afterwards.

01:49Please, and let's talk about it.

01:51Let's talk about it.

01:52Tomorrow we'll talk about it too.

01:53My daughter, I mean, she's been rocking.

01:55She's four.

01:56Four.

01:56Four going on 14.

01:57And she's, yeah.

01:59But you know, Disney is obviously known

02:01for their renowned entertainment.

02:02And this is just one of the many productions, right?

02:05That is correct.

02:05We've also got on board the Disney treasure.

02:09We have Beauty and the Beast,

02:11a wonderful adaptation of that story we all know and love.

02:15It's an award-winning show and it is unbelievable.

02:18So you gotta be at that one too tomorrow.

02:21And then we have Disney's Seize the Adventure.

02:25And this is just a fun, upbeat tale of adventure.

02:31Goofy takes over the wheel.

02:32You saw this one last night.

02:34And then we really get to share many of our Disney

02:37and Pixar friends with our guests, you know,

02:40right from the get-go when they join a Disney cruise.

02:42So-

02:43Yeah, I'm not sure who's having more fun,

02:43my daughter or me.

02:44Well, that's okay.

02:45It's neck and neck, right?

02:46It's normal.

02:47We're both big kids.

02:48Yeah, it's normal.

02:49You know, we have so many multi-generational families

02:52because the ship has been built with families in mind.

02:55So we have areas just for the kids.

02:58Adults not allowed.

02:59It's secured programming,

03:01which then allows the adults to enjoy Palos or a cocktail,

03:06knowing that the kids are having a time of their lives.

03:08We've been doing this since we launched in 1998.

03:12And it's pretty special what we can do.

03:14And then there's areas families come together.

03:17Right, we all meet together

03:17and see this amazing show.

03:19Yeah, or our Pirates night.
