Disney Parks Blog has given us a first look at the Disney Treasure Grand Hall. The Grand Hall embodies the ship's theme of adventure and draws on real-world influences from Asia and Africa, as well as the enchanting land of Agrabah from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film, "Aladdin."
You can see in the photo above which compares to original concept art (top) to the final product (bottom). Some of the notable differences is the gold accents being replaced with bronze and a different carpet design.
At the heart of the Grand Hall is a life-size bronze statue of Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and Magic Carpet, right at the base of the grand staircase. Surrounding this iconic statue, are even more details found throughout the Grand Hall that are inspired by “Aladdin†and represent the film's spirit of adventure. Nearby the statue, you'll spot the magic lamp. The Grand Hall's intricate carpet evokes the fountain in Jasmine's courtyard and also features animals you'll see in the film including Aladdin's mischievous monkey sidekick Abu, Jasmine's birds, the golden scarab beetle, and more.
