3 Incredible Restaurants with First-Ever Experiences

Dining on the Disney Destiny will be a journey in itself. The ship will feature three unforgettable dining experiences, including the first Disney Cruise musical dining experience! Here’s a breakdown:

  • On the Savanna – A first-ever musical dining experience inspired by The Lion King. As you enjoy your meal, be treated to live performances, African-inspired dishes, and décor that transports you straight to the Pride Lands.
  • Worlds of Marvel – Guests can join their favorite superheroes in an interactive dining adventure. It’s an action-packed, culinary experience you don’t want to miss!
  • 1923 – This nostalgic dining venue offers an elegant homage to Disney’s rich history, with classic American dishes in a setting inspired by the year Walt Disney founded the studio.

These unique restaurants promise not just a meal, but an experience filled with entertainment, magic, and delicious cuisine. Worlds of Marvel and 1923 are both on the Wish, you can read about our experiences dining there here!


Disney Hercules: Exclusive Entertainment on the Disney Destiny

Aboard the Disney Destiny, guests will be treated to an exclusive show, Disney Hercules! This lively stage production brings the larger-than-life characters, spirited humor, and iconic music of the animated classic Hercules to the cruise stage.

Expect comedy, heartwarming moments, and legendary songs like “Go the Distance” as you cheer for the beloved hero in this Disney Cruise Line original production.


Returning Favorites and New Surprises for Families

If you’ve sailed on the Disney Wish, you’ll be delighted to know some family-favorite features are returning on the Disney Destiny, including the thrilling Aquamouse (Disney’s first attraction at sea) and the action-packed Hero Zone. These activities will keep the whole family entertained as you dive into water fun or compete in interactive games.

For adults, there are new spaces designed just for you! Whether you’re looking to relax in a quiet retreat or enjoy a night of entertainment, the Disney Destiny has it all.

Plus, the same incredible kid’s clubs will be available on the Destiny, offering exciting activities that will keep the little ones entertained while parents enjoy some well-deserved time to themselves. The kid’s clubs are one of the best parts of cruising with Disney, in my opinion.
