Captain Minnie Mouse was on hand, dressed in her adventure look, following the ship's adventure theme.

According to the Disney Parks Blog, a group of cheering spectators watched the vessel emerge, stern first, guided by a tugboat. So the first thing visible was the stern art featuring Peter Pan and Captain Hook.

Disney Treasure will now undergo final outfitting leading up to delivery.

The 144,000gt, LNG-powered ship, sister of 2022's Disney Wish, is scheduled to sail its maiden seven-night voyage from Port Canaveral on Dec. 21.
