Overview
- Disney announced the Lion King–themed dining venue on November 10 via the Disney Parks Blog with details on design, entertainment and menu.
- The space evokes an African savannah Boma with special-effects lighting, a wall of shifting sunrises and sunsets, and drum-like tiered risers that double as a stage.
- Live musicians and storytellers perform during the meal using authentic African instruments, revisiting songs as they narrate Simba’s journey.
- The set list features “Circle of Life,” “Hakuna Matata,” a mash-up of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” and “Be Prepared,” an instrumental “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” and “He Lives in You.”
- Menus pair flavors from African cuisines with reimagined Disney Cruise Line favorites, with a second themed menu offered on five-night sailings, and guests are directed to DisneyCruise.com to plan and book.
