Disney Destiny Updates
The Disney Cruise Line has shared more information on the new Disney Destiny. The last ship’s log has details on the Café Megara, one of two new walk-up cafes just off the Grand Hall. Be sure to bookmark this page for regular updates all the way through the ship’s maiden voyage on November 20 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The shipyard team is making great progress on the interior of the Disney Destiny, and new spaces are coming to life every day. One of those spaces is Café Megara, one of two new walk-up cafes just off the Grand Hall, and today we’re giving a behind-the-scenes look at how Walt Disney Imagineering is drawing inspiration from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Hercules” to create this heroic venue.
From the barstool and lounge chair fabrics to the accent wall tiles, each design detail in Café Megara is handpicked by Imagineers to create a vibrant space with nods to the ancient world of Greek mythology and legendary heroes. The color palette is inspired by the film’s iconic characters, Megara and Pegasus, and incorporates shades of purple and blue.
Walt Disney Imagineers Beth Burkhardt and Rachel Willcoxon can be seen reviewing textile samples that will come together to transport future café guests to Mount Olympus, including a custom cloud-like carpet pattern and wallpaper with hidden designs of Pegasus leaping through the clouds. As the Imagineers finalize their selections, the shipyard team transforms the space from zero to hero!
