Step Into the Circle of Life

This unique experience, exclusive to Disney Destiny guests, begins the moment you enter the African savannah-themed entry hall. The main dining area is designed as a stylized Boma—a traditional African enclosure where communities gather to eat, sing, and tell stories.

• Immersive Atmosphere: The dining room walls are lined with artistic depictions of animals and nature, brought to life through dynamic lighting and special effects.
• Magical Views: A wall of enchanting windows cycles through a rotation of vibrant sunrises and sunsets throughout the meal, reminiscent of the stunning animated artwork from the original film.
• Center Stage: At the heart of the venue, tiered risers mimic the look of African drums, serving as the stage for a colorful lineup of live entertainment.
