Disney Destiny Grand Hall
Like the other Wish-Class ships Destiny has a
Grand Hall
instead of an Atrium Lobby. Destiny’s Grand Hall is themed after Wakanda from
Black Panther. From the colors of the walls, carpet to the style of the pilers
it is all a reminder of Wakanda, her warriors and beloved King. There is a beautiful
statue of King T’Challa and a Black Panther in the Hall.
The Grand Hall is a focal point of the ship. This is
where you will enter the ship from the Port Terminal on Embarkation Day. This
is where you will spend a lot of time throughout your cruise. The Grand Hall is
3 stories tall. Deck 3 is the Main Area and Decks 4 and 5 are shops and lounges.
When there are events on Deck 3 and that level is full you can go to Deck 4 or
5 and have a bird’s eye view of the celebration.
At times throughout the cruise Loki will cause havoc in the
Grand Hall attempting to “take over” the ship. At other times you may see Cruella
De Vill strut through on her way to her lounge, De Vil’s.
Deck 3:
The Main Dining Restaurant, 1923 is toward the Aft side
of the Grand Hall. The 2 dining rooms are named in honor of Walt (Port Side)
and Roy (Starboard Side) Disney. This Main Dining Room serves Classic
California cuisine for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The theme is 1920’s
Hollywood Gilts and Glam. Both rooms have displays of Disney Movie memorabilia.
From Character Concept art to 3-D Models you will find lots of Disney History.
There is the
Grand Hall Stage, Center of the Ship
towards Forward. This is a small stage on the other side of the Grand Hall from
1923. There will be some shows and such on this little stage. From Mickey and
Minnie to Loki Characters will show up to thrill you on this little stage.
You will find Shutter Photographers in the Grand Hall
throughout the day taking pictures with characters and props. Check your
Navigator app for times and characters. In the evening the photographers will
be in the Hall taking pictures again. Some will be with characters, props, and others
will have professional backdrops for you to take pictures with.
A Kids Club check-in desk is in the Grand Hall on the
Port Side. There is a slide from Deck 3 to Deck 2 for the kids to take directly
to the Kids Club! Adults can try out the slide on embarkation day and during Open
House Hours for the Kids Club. You can check the Navigator App for Kids Club
Open House hours.
Also check out the Grand Hall at midnight for a
special magical moment from the ship. (They do it several times throughout the
evening for the littles to enjoy as well. At this point it has not been
announced what it will be. On the Wish the chandelier and walls have special
lighting and at midnight you hear A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.)
De Vil’s Piano Lounge is on the Port Side of the ship
toward the Front of the ship. This little Piano Bar is themed after 101 Dalmatian’s’
Cruella De Vil. The Piano is painted with Dalmatian Spots. Cruella sometimes

the Ship is the Grand Hall Collection Shop. This gift shop, as well as
all other shops will not be open while the ship is in port. The ship must be a
