New ‘The Lion King’-Inspired Dining Experience Coming to the Disney Destiny

Welcome to Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King, a first-of-its-kind family dining experience that brings the iconic songs and legendary moments from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Lion King to life at sea.

Exclusively available to Disney Destiny guests, this restaurant takes you into the African savannah as you walk down the entry hall leading you into the main dining area, which is a stylized version of a Boma, a place where families and communities gather to eat, sing, and tell stories.

The dining area is lined, with depictions of animals and nature realized through lighting and special effects. A wall of magical windows displays a rotation of vibrant sunrises and sunsets throughout the meal, reminiscent of iconic animated artwork from the original film. At the center of the venue, tiered risers mimic the look of African drums and serve as the stage for a lineup of live entertainment.

A colorful ensemble of live musicians and storytellers invite you on a musical journey through the award-winning soundtrack from The Lion King as you dine, retelling Simba’s rise from cub to king.

During special intervals throughout your meal, the band and performers revisit beloved songs using authentic African instruments and theatrical props to represent the story and characters.

The nostalgic set list includes:

Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King’s menu balances the wide-ranging flavors of African cuisines with creative spins on Disney Cruise Line guest-favorite dishes, incorporating authentic spice blends, regional sauces, and customary grains and produce. The Lion King restaurant offers a second themed menu during five-night sailings for guests who have an additional dinner seating.
