With its “Heroes and Villains” theme, the Disney Destiny will embrace the dynamic duality of every great Disney story, and the opposing forces of light and dark that drive characters to rise to their destinies. After all, there wouldn’t be any beloved heroes without cunning villains to challenge them!
Read on to discover how some of your favorite Disney, Pixar and Marvel characters will inspire themed venues and entertainment aboard the ship, including brand-new lounges celebrating Cruella de Vil and the Pirates of the Caribbean!
DeVilish Delights
What’s black and white and red all over? If you think you may know the answer to this riddle, think again! On the Disney Destiny, you and your friends can have a glamorous night on the town at De Vil’s piano lounge, a lavish affair fit for the bar’s namesake: the fabulously over-the-top villain Cruella de Vil of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” and the acclaimed 2021 live action film.
Adorned in her signature color palette of red with accents of black and white, Cruella’s infamous flair for style and wickedly bold attitude will be reflected in the aesthetic of this adult-exclusive lounge. And while an eye-catching spotted piano will steal the show at the center of the space, in true Cruella fashion, this villainous icon will make cameos in some of the can’t-miss design details.
Located just off the Grand Hall, you will be able to wind down in style at De Vil’s with a trendy martini, chic cocktail or glamorous glass of bubbly – an experience that is sure to be anything but “miserable, darling.”
Drink Up, Me Hearties, Yo Ho
At Cask and Cannon, you will join the ranks of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” for an evening of revelry, recreation and — of course — rum!
Inspired by the beloved Disney Parks attractions around the world, this new pub will be an eclectic, yet cozy watering hole furnished with treasures “acquired” (read: pillaged and pilfered) during the pirates’ many voyages around the globe.
Here, you and your fellow buccaneers will regale one another with tales of your high seas’ adventures; cheer and jeer during live televised sporting events; and indulge in an extensive menu of rare, specialty and vintage rums and a selection of “bootlegged” brews developed specially for the venue and served – in true pirate style – straight from the barrel. What say you?!
Happy Haunts Materialize
Foolish mortals will be welcomed to sip spirited craft cocktails among the 999 happy haunts of Disney Parks lore at the Haunted Mansion Parlor, a highly anticipated lounge that will first debut aboard the Disney Treasure this December.
At the Haunted Mansion Parlor, grim grinning guests will sample a selection of ghostly cocktails that capture the spirit of the story, while legendary characters from Haunted Mansion attractions around the world come out to socialize in mysterious ways (along with a few new seafaring arrivals).
Now let's check out some of what's already been announced for the Disney Destiny...
A diverse range of Disney, Pixar and Marvel characters will be the inspiration behind themed venues and entertainment aboard the ship, including a first-of-its-kind dining experience inspired by the unforgettable music of “The Lion King.”
“For the Disney Destiny, we will introduce brand-new cruise experiences inspired by the legends and legacies of some of Disney’s most iconic heroes and villains,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Cruise Line. “From the dining rooms to the staterooms and everywhere in between, guests aboard our new ship will be surrounded by extraordinary storytelling paired with the signature service and family-fun adventures that are hallmarks of a Disney Cruise vacation.”
The ‘Mane’ Event – A Feast for the Senses
The iconic songs and legendary moments of “The Lion King” will come to life at Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King, a first-of-its-kind dining experience celebrating the renowned music of the Walt Disney Animation Studios film that continues to transcend generations.
The savanna-inspired venue will bring unique depictions of animals and nature to life through lighting and special effects, while the window-lined back wall will transform from stunning sunrises to enchanting sunsets throughout the meal.
As families dine, a colorful ensemble of live musicians and storytellers will take the stage in the center of the restaurant — complete with tiered risers that evoke African drums — as they present a musical journey through the award-winning soundtrack. Performances will include productions of “Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Matata,” plus a mash-up of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” and “Be Prepared,” a fun take that highlights the hero-villain dynamic of the story.
A uniquely themed menu will underscore beloved music during this soulful celebration of family and Simba’s journey to embrace his destiny.
It’s a Sweet Shop, Darling
Edna Mode’s lab, where the famed fashion designer from Pixar Animation Studios’ “The Incredibles” films whips up outfits for the world’s most famous Supers, will be transformed into a one-of-a-kind confectionary at the brand-new Edna Á La Mode Sweets aboard the Disney Destiny.
Inspired by the “Auntie Edna” short film, the lab’s modern sewing equipment will be repurposed as sweet-making mechanisms meant to entertain Jack-Jack, the unpredictable and hilariously unstable super baby. The results: a marvelous selection of handmade gelato, ice cream, cookies, candies and specialty treats served among the lab’s bolts of fabric, costume models and picture-perfect sculptures of both Edna and Jack-Jack — one hard at work, one hungry for “num nums.”
Fuel for Heroic Feats
Just off the Grand Hall — the central hub and gathering space on the Disney Destiny — two casual walk-up cafes will serve a mighty selection of coffee, tea, specialty beverages and snacks.
Café Megara, named for the witty and independent heroine of Disney Animation’s “Hercules,” will pay homage to the film’s ancient world of Greek gods and legendary heroes. With a unique “Greco disco” design, the vibrant space will be filled with the lightning bolts and clouds of Mount Olympus, vases featuring the Muses, nods to Pegasus and waves on the ceiling.
Café Merida will be inspired by the flame-haired heroine of Pixar’s “Brave” with a Celtic-centered design that invokes her family’s Scottish Highlands heritage. Special touches include a tapestry hung from a mounted bow, while glowing lights above the bar will pay tribute to the will-o’-the-wisps, ethereal blue flames that lead travelers to their destiny.
