Step Into the Circle of Life
Exclusively available to Disney Destiny guests, this restaurant transports you into the African savannah as you walk down the entry hall, leading to the main dining area, a stylized version of a Boma —a place where families and communities gather to eat, sing, and share 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 resembling African drums serve as the stage for a lineup of live entertainment.
Be Prepared… For A Show
A colorful ensemble of live musicians and storytellers invites 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:
- 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.
- A moving rendition of “He Lives in You” from the sequel film and Broadway show.
Feast on Gourmet Grub
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.
