Ahoy, Danielle!
Welcome back to planDisney! It sounds like you’re hoping to bring a little bit of that first-day-onboard pixie dust back home. I love that. There’s something special about that Welcome Home drink—it’s like the moment Moana touches the ocean for the first time… you just know
adventure is ahead.
Now for the “be prepared” part of the story: Disney keeps this recipe tucked away in their enchanted vault, right next to the secret Dole Whip scrolls and whatever magical contract Ursula doesn’t want us reading. I tried to get in, but while Mickey apparently has top-tier access, I’m still hanging out somewhere between Hei Hei-level chaos and Dopey-level clearance.
Since I know that’s not quite the happily-ever-after you were hoping for, I did some digging—more determined than Remy in a Parisian pantry—and most unofficial sources agree on two main ingredients: Cloudem Blue and peach schnapps. While I can’t promise exact measurements or complete accuracy, these seem to be the heart of that shimmering drink you enjoyed onboard. And if nothing else,
Cloudem Blue on its own is a fun and magical non-alcoholic option that my family often enjoys during our own at-home celebrations or while onboard.
If you or someone you know
will be sailing again soon, you might try asking one of the bartenders onboard. They usually can’t share proprietary recipes word-for-word, but they’re often willing to give you a nudge in the right direction (especially to address allergies)—think of it as Maui helping you steer the boat without actually taking the oar.
I hope this helps bring a little shipboard sparkle back to your kitchen. If you want help recreating more of your favorite onboard moments at home, feel free to send them my way. I’m always happy to help
sprinkle some nautical magic into your day.
Sea ya real soon with holiday cheer, calm seas, and magical winter memories,
Dustin
