We had the incredible opportunity to get a first look at the highly anticipated Disney Destiny cruise ship, and from start to finish, the day was pure magic! The morning began bright and early at the Contemporary Resort with a Villains-themed breakfast, setting the tone for what’s to come. Since the new ship will center around a heroes and villains theme, the details and theming were on point right from the start.   From there, we boarded a bus to Port Canaveral and hopped aboard the Disney Wish, where we were welcomed by none other than Spider-Man and Black Panther—the perfect heroes to kick off our adventure! The preview event gave us an exciting glimpse into everything the Disney Destiny will have to offer. We got a sneak peek at the exclusive Destiny merchandise, indulged in sweet treats from Edna A La Mode Sweets, and previewed the Doctor Strange-themed lounge, where the drinks were as spellbinding as the decor. A highlight of the day? Seeing Minnie Mouse in her brand-new superhero outfit! One of the most magical moments took place in the Walt Disney Theater, where we heard from the creative team behind the all-new Hercules Broadway–style show coming to the Destiny. We even got to watch Hercules himself, played by Corey Bradford, take the stage and perform Go The Distance—a truly unforgettable moment. Lunch

The Season of the Force has landed at Disneyland, and it’s bringing tasty bites and beverages with it. From Wookiee-approved snacks to out-of-this-world beverages inspired by the light and dark sides, Season of the Force isn’t just a Star Wars fan’s dream—it’s a foodie’s adventure through hyperspace. Whether you’re strolling through Batuu or grabbing bites in Tomorrowland, the limited-time culinary creations are as Instagram-worthy as they are tasty. Here’s your guide to the must-try eats and sips (and ones to skip!) that will transport your taste buds to a galaxy far, far away. Fried Falumpaset Cheese Skewer (Ronto Roasters) Crispy Potato, Mustard-Cheese Dipping Sauce This little snack is out of this galaxy! It’s been a huge hit with parkgoers, and it’s easy to see why; who doesn’t love potatoes and cheese?! There are crispy potatoes on the outside, and the inside is filled with cheese. The dipping sauce elevates this snack; however, I didn’t taste much mustard, just mostly cheese. This one is definitely a 10/10 and many are hoping it stays on the menu! Source: Kingdom Media Keshian Spiced Milk Tea (Ronto Roasters) Milk Tea, Horchata Jelly, Caramel Sugar Crisp This drink was not my cup of tea (pun intended). I didn’t taste any milk tea, and it tasted like straight horchata. The jellies made the texture of this drink weird, almost like curdled milk. You don’t taste the caramel sugar crisps unless you pick one out and eat it by itself. Overall, I’m not a

Bless my soul, Disney Cruise Line is on a roll! We’re going “zero to hero” this week with an epic lineup of updates and reveals for the Disney Destiny, our new heroes and villains-themed ship that sets sail later this year. Last summer, Disney announced that the Disney Destiny will debut a Broadway-style stage adaptation of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Hercules, and now I’m thrilled to share a first look at the stunning new show that’s sure to prove “whose daring deeds are great theater” for a new generation of Disney cruisers! “Disney Hercules” will stay true to the story and spirit of the beloved film with a fresh, contemporary retelling centered around the legendary soundtrack. Featuring a celebration of iconic songs like “Go the Distance,” “Zero to Hero” and “I Won’t Say I’m in Love,” this show will present incredible live renditions like you’ve never heard before through new musical arrangements inspired by the soulfulness of gospel music with the energy of a pop concert. Source: Disney In addition to all of the songs from the film, “Disney Hercules” will include the theatrical debut of “Shooting Star,” a heartfelt ballad originally written for the movie by Alan Menken and David Zippel. All of your favorite gods, mortals, and mythical beings from the movie will be part of the story, many represented in surprising new ways. Like the film, the Muses will be the
