Disney Cruise Line Surprises a Marine Corps Veteran at Disneyland

In honor of National Veterans and Military Families Appreciation Month, Disney Cruise Line surprised U.S. Marine Corps Veteran David Negreros with a Disney Treasure cruise. Negreros, nominated by Goodwill of Orange County’s Tierney Center for Veteran Services, was recognized for his service at Camp Pendleton and in Afghanistan.

While visiting Disneyland park, David and his family enjoyed a ride on Haunted Mansion (which is currently decked out as the Haunted Mansion Holiday inspired by “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas”!) where they were then surprised with the news they would soon be sailing onboard the highly anticipated Disney Treasure, Disney Cruise Line’s new ship setting sail this December!

David and his family are sure to feel right at home onboard the ship, as the Disney Treasure brings stories from Disney Parks to life at sea for the first time. They will be among the first to experience venues inspired by the beloved attractions they visited at Disneyland Resort, such as the all-new Haunted Mansion Parlor!

The Haunted Mansion Parlor will have nostalgic tributes to Haunted Mansion attractions around the world and introduce guests to the next chapter of the Haunted Mansion saga. The Disney Treasure, where the spirit of adventure meets the daring tales of classic Disney films and Disney Parks attractions, begins inaugural sailings in December 2024.

David also participated in a commemorative flag retreat on Main Street, U.S.A., during his visit to the park. This ceremony is a valued tradition in the parks, honoring U.S. veterans for their bravery and courage. Disney has a strong legacy of supporting military service members and their families, dating all the way back to our founders Walt and Roy Disney’s own contributions to country during World War I.

Following his military service, he now devotes his work to helping other veterans as they transition out of the military through various veteran vocational programs and resource centers. We can’t wait for his family to set sail soon!
