Pumpkin Trees on Disney Ships

The Disney Treasure Pumpkin Tree Was Inspired by Genie

Alight with glowing gourds, twinkling lights, and intricate carvings, Ginger sets the Halloween vibe for your Disney Treasure sailing. She’s a unique species of tree, hailing from the fictional city of Agrabah as seen in Disney’s Aladdin.

Just as any magical pumpkin tree “grows” from a seedling to its great height, Ginger’s look and story evolved throughout the design process. The team had to figure out how to create enchanted foliage representative of the region of the world that inspired Aladdin’s hometown.

Philip Kelley, Show Director for Disney Live Entertainment, told us all about Ginger’s roots. “She started out as sort of as a banyan tree, and then more of a traditional tree with banyan tree inspiration.”

From there, Philip explained that the design of Ginger started to take shape. “The pumpkins elongated a little bit — they look like traditional pumpkins but have more of a look of the gourds that you may see in that region of the world.”

During the first night of your sailing, don’t miss the opportunity to interact with Ginger as her story comes to life in The Tale of the Enchanted Pumpkin Tree.
The Disney Treasure storytellers, Coriander and Sage are going to be quite surprised that a tree has suddenly sprouted in the Grand Hall. Listen as they tell the tale of Ginger and learn how the carvings on her gourds were inspired by the transformations of the one and only Genie.
Philip told Disney Parks Blog, “With her design complete, Ginger’s story took a new turn. Halloween traditions are unfamiliar in her part of the world, so our storytellers, Coriander and Sage, introduce her to the fun of trick-or-treating. Together, they discover the joy of transformation and find that at this time of year, things aren’t always what they seem.”
Join in the story to help Ginger understand our trick-or-treat traditions and something sweetly magical might just happen throughout the Grand Hall.
After she’s lit, expect Ginger to glow throughout your cruise, adding that special touch of seasonal spirit with every visit to the Grand Hall.

As the full moon gleams and witches fire up their brooms, pumpkin trees takes root each Halloween on every Disney Cruise Line ship.

Pumpkin Trees on Disney Ships
As the full moon gleams and witches fire up their brooms, pumpkin trees takes root each Halloween on every Disney Cruise Line ship.
The Halloween trees each of the Disney ships are:
- Reap on the Disney Magic
- Bog on the Disney Wonder
- Grim on the Disney Dream
- Muckelbones on the Disney Fantasy
- Boo on the Disney Wish
- Ginger on the Disney Treasure

The trees aboard the Magic, Wonder, Dream, and Fantasy ships reflect a traditionally spooky tree one might expect along the dirt roads of Sleepy Hollow on a cold October night. Reap, Bog, Grim, and Muckelbones were inspired by the spirit of Ray Bradbury’s beloved story The Halloween Tree.

Each tree is watched over by a mysterious caretaker, who shares chilling tales of Halloween traditions and legends as guests gather beneath their glowing canopy. As the ship sets sail, these once quiet, twisted trees burst into life—glowing Jack-O’-Lanterns flicker to life among the branches, eerie lights dance, and a deep, haunting voice fills the air.

Boo, the Enchanted Tree on the Disney Wish
A very special tree grows onboard the Disney Wish, one that was blessed by the Wishing Star to grow very special carved pumpkins. Boo’s enchanting visage watches over the Grand Hall and legend has it that one of her pumpkins even grew to become the pumpkin carriage that carried Cinderella to the ball.
