A Delicious Preview: Dining & Drinks Coming to Disney Destiny

Disney Cruise Line is turning up the flavour on its newest ship, the Disney Destiny, and fans of immersive dining are in for a real treat. With a theme built around iconic heroes and villains, the Destiny will offer a brand-new lineup of dining and drink spots that bring Disney storytelling to the table – literally. Here’s a first look at four exciting venues that will be ready to welcome guests when the ship sets sail.

Dinner and a Show in the Pride Lands

One of the most anticipated experiences onboard is a themed restaurant inspired by The Lion King. This isn’t just dinner – it’s an evening of storytelling, live music, and theatre, all while you enjoy a meal with flavours influenced by African cuisine. Guests will be taken on a musical journey that follows Simba’s story from cub to king, all performed live during your meal.

The menu features a mix of adventurous dishes and familiar comfort foods with a twist. Think roasted pork with crispy yuca, spiced chicken with jollof rice and fried plantains, and rich curries served with butter roti. For dessert, sweet options like pineapple upside-down cake and warm chocolate pudding round out the experience. The drinks get just as creative, with themed cocktails and mocktails – including a rum-based creation and a lime jelly Sprite that’s as fun to look at as it is to drink.

Chic Evenings at De Vil’s

Fans of bold fashion and stylish lounges will love this upscale spot inspired by none other than Cruella herself. This piano bar oozes glamour and dramatic flair, offering a selection of creative cocktails and non-alcoholic options that feel just as fancy.

Sip on a tequila-based drink with a strawberry twist, served alongside strawberry shortcake popcorn, or unwind with a zero-proof cocktail featuring maple syrup and smoky aromas. Whether you’re dressing up for a date night or just want to enjoy a little grown-up time, this lounge is all about treating yourself.

Mystical Sips in The Sanctum

Marvel fans, this one’s for you. Inspired by Doctor Strange and his magical world, this lounge is packed with details pulled straight from the films – think mystical symbols, enchanted books, and iconic relics.

Throughout the day, this space transforms into an entertainment hub offering games, drinks, and hands-on experiences for all ages. The drink menu is full of surprises, with colourful cocktails, mocktails, and even coffee offerings that lean into the “magic” with fun presentations and unique ingredients. Plus, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, don’t miss the stuffed waffles – one filled with custard, the other with berries.

Sweet Surprises at Edna Á La Mode Sweets

Last but not least, families can head to a dessert shop themed after Edna Mode and her super-powered design studio. This whimsical spot brings the world of The Incredibles to life with clever nods to the characters, Jack-Jack’s cookie obsession, and even a surprise visit from Rocky the raccoon if you keep an eye out.

The treat selection is impressive, from character cupcakes to handmade gelato, decadent popsicles, and layered cookies. Jack-Jack’s famous Cookie Num Nums are here in full force, along with themed chocolate bark and shortbread treats. It’s a sugar rush worthy of any superhero-in-training.

Where Even the Food Feels Like Disney Magic

What makes Disney Cruise Line stand out is how much effort they put into weaving storytelling into every aspect of the vacation – and food is no exception. The new venues aboard Disney Destiny go beyond meals and drinks. They’re full-blown experiences designed to entertain, delight, and include everyone in the magic. Whether you’re traveling with picky eaters, teens who want Instagram-worthy treats, or adults looking for some quiet fun, there’s something new here for everyone.
