Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King will not only be dinner and a show, but it will also join the ranks as a first-of-its-kind Disney dining experience, bringing the iconic songs and legendary moments of the renowned animated classic to life.

The enchanting venue will be inspired by the African savanna, with unique depictions of animals and nature brought to life through lighting and special effects. The back wall will be lined with large windows that transform from stunning sunrises to enchanting sunsets throughout the meal, while the center of the restaurant will have tiered risers that mimic the look of African drums. 

A colorful ensemble of live musicians and storytellers will take the stage to present a musical journey through the award-winning soundtrack as you dine. During special intervals throughout the meal, the band and performers will revisit the iconic songs from “The Lion King” using authentic African instruments and theatrical props to represent the story and characters. Audiences will delight in: 

  • Productions of “Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Matata;” 
  • 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;
  • An instrumental version of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” paired with a beautiful interpretive dance; and
  • A moving rendition of “He Lives in You” from the sequel film and Broadway show. 

Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King is just one of many offerings aboard the Disney Destiny cruise ship. Other available offerings include Haunted Mansion Parlor, De Vil’s, a new adults-only bar inspired by Cruella de Vil, Cask and Cannon, a new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge, a new version of AquaMouse, dining locations themed after Edna Mode, Megara, and Merida, and plenty of Disney villains and heroes for guests to meet.
