1923

1923, named after the founding year of Walt Disney Animation Studios, takes guests on a journey through animation. Dining areas present an upscale Hollywood setting with “a dash of Disney whimsy,” while guests take in the surrounding artwork depicting both modern and classic Disney animated productions (which Disney shares will include “storyboards, sketches and props recalling the heroes and villains of classic Disney animated movies” aboard the Disney Destiny).

1923

Dishes will feature fresh California flavors “inspired by the fusion of cultural flavors” found throughout the Golden State, with items everyone in the family can enjoy.

Disney Destiny — Lounges

If you’re a diehard Disney Parks fan who hasn’t previously considered a Disney Cruise… well, you may find that some of the NEW lounges on the Disney Destiny offer the best of both worlds! Let’s explore these adult-exclusive spaces…

Cask and Cannon

Hoist yer colours, mateys! The Disney Destiny will be home to Cask and Cannon — a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed bar! Disney shared that this new lounge is “Inspired by the iconic characters and scenes from the beloved Disney Parks attractions around the world, the 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.”

Pirates of the Caribbean in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom

Not only that, but you’ll be able to catch your favorite game on the television here, plus enjoy rare and specialty rums — and a “selection of ‘bootlegged’ brews developed specially for the venue and served straight from the barrel in true pirate style.”

Haunted Mansion Parlor

The Haunted Mansion Parlor will materialize on the Disney Destiny! Disney shared that the lounge will be “reminiscent of a first-class drawing room from the classic cruise liners of the golden age,” and will blend “humor with Disney’s distinct brand of spooky storytelling. Legendary characters from Haunted Mansion attractions around the world will come out to socialize in mysterious ways throughout the experience, along with a few new seafaring arrivals and an original storyline focused on a ship captain.”

Plus, you’ll get to sample a selection of ghostly cocktails that capture the spirit of the story, and an exclusive array of haunted homewares and spooky souvenirs inspired by the bar will materialize in shopping venues aboard the ship.

The Disney Treasure will be the first ship in the fleet to feature a Haunted Mansion Parlor, and we’re thrilled to see that the trend is continuing on the Destiny as well!

De Vil’s Piano Lounge

Ah, yes… We couldn’t think of a more perfect Disney Villain to have their very own over-the-top lounge than Cruella De Vil herself. As you might anticipate, De Vil’s Piano Lounge will be a “lavish affair,” according to Disney. You’ll see aspects from the original animated One Hundred and One Dalmatians along with details from the 2021 film Cruella.

You can expect to see Cruella’s style and boldness shining bright within this new lounge which Disney has said will have a “Hollywood Regency-inspired aesthetic.” There will even be a Dalmatian-spotted piano to fill the air with sultry tunes. You’ll be able to enjoy trendy martinis, chic cocktails, and glamorous wines and bubbles. 

From one side of De Vil’s, you’ll be able to look out through the opening into the Grand Hall of the ship so you can take in the excellent view of the ship’s main gathering place. The other side of the lounge will have you basking in Cruella’s fashionable glory.

The Sanctum

The Sanctum will be Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by Doctor Strange and his mystical arts! This space will be centrally located and will “contain mystical items designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world,” while also featuring entertainment, cocktails, coffees, and “unique surprises from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum, including a circular mirror behind the bar that evokes the building’s iconic window.”

Disney Destiny — Casual Dining

If you’ve been following — or perhaps have even sailed on — the Disney Wish, you may be familiar with Marceline Market, which is coming to the Disney Destiny, as well. This food hall — named after Walt Disney’s childhood home of Marceline, Missouri — houses different food stations, here known as markets, “inspired by popular marketplaces from around the world.”

Marceline Market

While enjoying favorite foods along with constantly-changing offerings, guests can take in ocean views from inside or from an outdoor seating area on the upper decks.

Additional casual dining options on the upper decks will feature “a festive character twist!”

Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods

Character-inspired food stations, such as we’ve seen with Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods on the Disney Wish, will serve up quick bites throughout the day and well into the evening.

Donald’s Cantina

These spots include Mickey’s Smokestack BBQ, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goofy’s Grill and Minnie’s Delights.

Disney Destiny — Cafes and Sweet Shops

Café Megara

Look for Café Megara off the Grand Hall when you’re in need of a caffeinated pick-me-up or sweet treat!

Themed after Disney Animation’s Hercules, the spot will present what Disney has deemed a “Greco disco” design!

Café Merida

Café Merida is another walk-up cafe located just off the Grand Hall. This tribute to Brave‘s feisty heroine, Merida, will feature a “Celtic-centered” design.

Edna Á La Mode Sweets

Looking for something a little more for your sweet tooth, darling? Edna Á La Mode Sweets will be a specialty dessert shop and confectionery themed to the well-known fashion designer from Pixar’s The Incredibles.

Handmade gelato, ice cream, cookies, candies and specialty treats will be served in fashion in this spot packed with bolts of fabric and costume models. Sculptures of Edna herself and Jack-Jack will be the fun focal points of this confectionery.

Disney Destiny — Adult-Exclusive Experiences

Several adult-exclusive dining experiences are coming to the Disney Destiny!

Beauty and the Beast-Inspired Spaces

More Entertainment Venues

Disney Destiny — Deck Parties

Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party 

AAAARRR ye ready for a DECK PARTY, mateys?! On one night of every voyage, the Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party, which made its debut on the Disney Wish, is hosted by none other than Captain Redd from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction!

Pirate Night!

Throughout the party, Redd and her band of buccaneers perform famous radio hits, plus a rock rendition of the classic pirate tune “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me).” When Redd assembles a council of captains, including the famous Jack Sparrow, they’ll unlock a sparkling treasure that lights up the night sky — a fireworks display!

The fireworks are underscored by an original arrangement of the soundtrack from the Pirates in the Caribbean films.

Disney Destiny — Water Features and Upper Decks

AquaMouse: “Sing a Silly Song”

The Disney Wish presented the first Disney attraction AT SEA: the AquaMouse! And now, the Disney Destiny will present its own exclusive story on this attraction at sea! The AquaMouse is a 760-foot-long water ride. Each ship in Disney’s Wish Class has its own unique special short that plays during the ride in keeping with that ship’s theme.

©Disney

On the Disney Destiny, during the short “Sing a Silly Song,” Mickey and Minnie will lead guests to the peak of Villain Mountain. While coming face to face with villains like the Queen of Hearts, Chernabog, and Scar, Mickey and Minnie will “employ a silly song — and a bit of pixie dust — to transform each chilling encounter into a wacky surprise.”

The ride will feature an original soundtrack written by Emmy award-winning composer Christopher Willis and lyricist Elyse Willis! And get this!! “Sing a Silly Song” will be just one of FOUR shows available on the AquaMouse. So you can ride it again and again and have a different experience.

Along with the AquaMouse, the upper decks of the Disney Destiny will feature more water activities — including TEN POOLS — quick and casual dining options, and lots of places to SIMPLY RELAX.

©Disney

Among the water features will be the Toy Story Splash Zone for families with toddlers and little ones, with a splash zone, wading pool, a family waterslide (the Slide-a-saurus Rex!), and smoothie bar.

And adults specifically can enjoy the secluded Quiet Cove, aboard the Destiny, as well, “dedicated to lounging, sipping and soaking.”

Hero Zone

This is a “futuristic sports arena where physical activity will blend with imagination, alternating between an elaborate family obstacle course and a free-play sports hub.” Here, imagination meets active play with sports courts, a game floor, a movie theater, and a playground!

Table Tennis in the Hero Zone

Families are able to take on some physical challenges themed to Disney’s heroes during game show-style competitions. Just want to watch instead of participate? You can head to the balcony viewing area to cheer on the participants!

And what better theme for a family game area than The Incredibles?!

Incredi-Games at Hero Zone

The offering, dubbed the Incredi-Games, is a “highly interactive, imaginatively produced game show” with an incredible obstacle course, challenge games, and more, all themed to the popular Pixar movie. Here’s what you can expect inside:

• Violet’s Force Field Swing — sends supers soaring across an imaginary lava field

Hero Zone

In addition to the family competition, the littlest ones can compete in a Disney Cruise Line tradition: Jack-Jack’s Incredible Diaper Dash, where infants “speed-crawl across a 20-foot track amid the cheers (and chuckles) of family, friends, and adoring fans.”

Sailing with Disney Characters — Heroes and Villains

Your best Disney friends, of course, will be taking the voyage with you!

MORE Experiences on the Disney Destiny

Disney Uncharted Adventure

A NEW, first-of-its-kind interactive experience made its debut on the Disney Wish, and it will come to the Destiny as well: Disney Uncharted Adventure! 

©Disney

This game takes guests on a journey through the worlds of several iconic Disney and Pixar characters. The game is designed for families to play together while on the ship, ultimately exploring areas they may not visit otherwise.

Guests who have sailed on the Disney Dream or Disney Fantasy may be familiar with the Midship Detective Agency, but Uncharted Adventure elevates the experience! For instance, this adventure technically begins before you even board the ship! To play Disney Uncharted Adventure, you — and everyone in your party who would like to play — will need the Play Disney Parks app. It will assist you in beginning the adventure FROM HOME.

Play Disney Parks app logo

Before you even step aboard the ship, Captain Minnie and Captain Mickey will tell you about the night sky, the stars, and the special relationship they have with seafaring. But, there are certain “magical stars” you can only see from the Disney Wish! You’ll need a magical spyglass to see them, and The Play Disney Parks app will transform into your magical spyglass, giving you the ability to see these special constellations once onboard.

At the center of these special constellations is the beautiful, shining “wishing star.” But a storm comes along… And the Wishing Star gets hit by something and shatters! And now?

Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie need YOUR help. Using your magical spyglass, you’ll navigate the ship to uncharted regions to find the pieces of the Wishing Star. 

Disney Destiny Size and Capacity

Similar to the other two ships in the Wish Class, the Disney Destiny should hold up to 4,000 passengers in about 1,200 staterooms. The ship’s gross tonnage will be about 144,000, and the ship will measure 1,119 feet long and 128 feet wide.
