💜 HEROIC & VILLAINOUS ENTERTAINMENT
“Disney Hercules” Broadway-Style Stage Show
This brand-new production will bring the legendary hero’s story to life with a fresh, pop-contemporary spin. Expect the full soundtrack (yes, including “Go the Distance”) plus a never-before-seen ballad called “Shooting Star.” Puppetry, fashion-forward costume designs, and next-level tech in the Walt Disney Theater promise a show worthy of Mount Olympus.
Also onboard: returning faves “Frozen: A Musical Spectacular” and “Disney Seas the Adventure.”
🌟 IMMERSIVE DINING EXPERIENCES
Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King
Transport to the African savanna with a dining show that blends soulful narration, interpretive dance, and a live trio of musicians. Menu highlights include Berbere-spiced chicken, Cape Malay shrimp curry, and kid-favorite drinks like Slimy Yet Satisfying.
De Vil’s Piano Lounge
Cruella is holding court in this outrageously glamorous venue featuring themed cocktails, designer drinks, and yes—a black and white spotted piano. Don’t miss the Fashionista cocktail and the non-alcoholic Fearless Sir Galahad.
The Sanctum (Doctor Strange Lounge)
Inspired by the Marvel multiverse, this magical lounge includes interactive drink presentations and otherworldly decor. Order a Circle of the Cosmos or Vapors of Valtorr and take in the mystical vibes.
Edna Á La Mode Sweets
No capes, just cupcakes! Edna Mode’s lab is now a chic sweets shop filled with designer desserts, candy, and Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums. Keep your eye out for Rocky the raccoon causing trouble nearby!
