Disney Treasure’s AquaMouse Temporarily Closed for Repairs
The iconic AquaMouse waterslide, a popular attraction aboard the Disney Treasure, has been temporarily closed for essential maintenance during its current Caribbean sailing. This unexpected closure ensures the safety and optimal functionality of the beloved onboard experience for all guests.
What Happened
Guests sailing on the May 23, 2026 departure of the Disney Treasure were notified via the Disney Cruise Line app that the AquaMouse would be unavailable for the initial days of their voyage. The notification specified that the maintenance team was performing necessary work on the attraction, with an anticipated reopening on Monday, May 25, subject to completion and safety checks.
The 144,256-gross-ton ship experienced a delayed departure from Port Canaveral on Saturday, partly due to this maintenance. A crane and scaffolding were observed on deck, indicating the nature of the repairs being conducted on the popular waterslide. While the delayed departure did not impact scheduled port calls in St. Thomas, Tortola, or Castaway Cay, it did affect guests’ immediate access to the attraction.
Reports from previous guests and on social media suggest that the AquaMouse has experienced intermittent issues, including minor leaks in a specific section of the slide. While Disney Cruise Line has not officially commented on the specifics, the current maintenance appears to address these operational concerns to ensure a smooth and safe experience for future voyages.
Why It Matters for Travelers
For travelers planning a Disney Treasure cruise, temporary closures of key attractions like the AquaMouse can certainly alter the onboard experience, especially on sea days when such activities are most popular. While this specific closure is short-term, it highlights the importance of checking cruise line apps for real-time updates on onboard amenities.
Understanding that routine maintenance is a standard part of cruise ship operations helps manage expectations. Travelers should be aware that even the newest ships require occasional repairs, and flexibility in their vacation plans can enhance their enjoyment, allowing them to explore other ship features and activities.
What to Expect Next
The AquaMouse is expected to resume operations on Monday, May 25, pending the successful completion of all maintenance and safety protocols. Disney Cruise Line prioritizes guest safety, and thorough testing will be conducted before the attraction reopens to ensure a seamless experience.
Travelers booked on upcoming Disney Treasure sailings should continue to monitor the Disney Cruise Line app for the latest updates regarding onboard attractions. While this particular incident is brief, it serves as a reminder that all cruise ship features undergo regular checks to maintain high operational standards and guest satisfaction.
