Disney Destiny to Feature ‘Heroes and Villains’ Themed Bars with New Beverages
Disney has announced new details about the upcoming cruise ship, the Disney Destiny, revealing the names and themes of three exclusive lounges. During the Disney Eats panel at Destination D23, Disney Cruise Line Beverage Operations Manager Ben Van Curen previewed some of the new themed drinks that will be served exclusively at these one-of-a-kind spaces when the ship sets sail in November 2025.
The Disney Destiny, which is inspired by the legacies of Disney’s heroes and villains, will feature three new venues: The Sanctum, Haunted Mansion Parlor, and Cask & Cannon. These spaces are designed to immerse guests in the lore of classic Disney stories through elevated interpretation and refined theming.
The exclusive new beverages will complement the unique atmosphere of each lounge, with the menu drawing inspiration from the larger-than-life personalities of epic Disney stories. The new themed drinks are a key part of the legendary cruise vacation experience that the Disney Destiny aims to provide.
Made with Stoli Elit Vodka, Lychee, Fresh Lemon Juice, Pink Peppercorn, and Eletricdust Buzz Rock, this mesmerizing cocktail will touch all your senses with a special glass that reacts to touch, and an electrifying dust that will leave your taste buds tingling.
Step into The Sanctum
Disney Cruise Line’s first lounge inspired by the mystical world of Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange, this centrally located sanctuary is filled with enchanted artifacts designed to aid sorcerers in protecting the world, creating an atmosphere brimming with magic and mystery.
Enjoy a captivating selection of cocktails and coffees while taking in unique touches from Doctor Strange’s New York Sanctum, like the iconic circular mirror behind the bar that echoes the famed window of the Sanctum itself, the Cloak of Levitation and spell books from the library of Kamar-Taj.
The Chilling Challenge: My Way at Haunted Mansion Parlor
The popular drink of the same name on the Disney Treasure will feature all-new ingredients on the Disney Destiny, including Camus VSOP Cognac, Cointreau Noir, Joto Yuzu Sake, Orange Blossom Foam, and Edible Viola Flowers.
Enter the Haunted Mansion if You Dare
As you step into the Haunted Mansion Parlor aboard the Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny, you’ll find a classic cruise liner’s drawing room filled with ghostly intrigue.
On the Disney Destiny, sip on an all-new menu of expertly crafted ghostly cocktails and mocktails while admiring a gallery of haunted portraits… and enjoy interactive surprises that bring these wandering souls to life. The parlor itself holds secrets tied to a jovial sea captain and his enigmatic fiancé, inviting curious guests to unravel the mystery hidden within its walls.
Ye Be Invited to the Cask & Cannon
We’re sharing a brand-new look inside Cask & Cannon, a lively themed tavern aboard the Disney Destiny, inspired by the legendary Pirates of the Caribbean attractions around the globe. This eclectic pub is filled with “acquired” treasures from mischievous pirates of old, creating an atmosphere where every corner tells a tale.
Swap seafaring stories, catch live sports, and enjoy light bites, vintage rums, and exclusive “bootlegged” brews, served straight from the barrel, of course. Whether you’re a rogue or a rum-lover, Cask & Cannon is the perfect port of call.
Dead Man’s Chest at Cask & Cannon
This new beverage experience for two will include drinks that capture the true spirit of a pirate’s life on the high seas. Made with Zacapa 23 Solera Rum, Pineapple, Lime Juice, Agave Nectar, and Coconut Froth, this cocktail will fully immerse you in the cozy ship’s cabin atmosphere of Cask & Cannon – complete with gold coins!
Imagineering to Add Walt Disney Figure to Magic Kingdom’s Carousel of Progress Attraction
In an exciting announcement at the Destination D23 event, Walt Disney Imagineer Chris Beatty revealed that an Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney will soon be added to “Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress” at Magic Kingdom. The new figure, which will appear in a brand-new introductory scene, continues a legacy of innovation that has defined the attraction since its debut.
The Carousel of Progress was Walt Disney’s own idea from beginning to end, and it first premiered at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. It has since become the longest-running stage show in the history of American theater, finding its permanent home as a tribute to its original version at Magic Kingdom in 1975. This latest update is set to maintain the heart of the classic attraction while introducing it to a new generation of fans.
Kirsten Komoroske, Executive Director of the Walt Disney Family Museum, commented on the news. “The introduction of a new Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney in ‘Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress’ marks an exciting milestone in our shared mission to celebrate the story of the man behind the magic and inspire new generations with his innovations and vision for the future,” she said. Komoroske also expressed gratitude for the “meticulous care that Imagineering has taken to keep Walt’s legacy alive.”
The new introductory scene, featuring the legendary man who never stood in the way of progress, will precede the journey of an American family and their dog Rover as they travel through four generations of technological advancements. While more details about the updates are still to be revealed, the new figure of Walt Disney is a tribute to the creator’s enduring vision that a great big, beautiful tomorrow is just a dream away.

Orlando International Airport Expects Nearly 891,000 Passengers Over Labor Day Weekend
The unofficial end of summer travel is here, and Orlando International Airport (MCO) is preparing for another record-breaking Labor Day holiday rush. According to the latest projections, nearly 891,000 passengers will pass through the airport during the six-day holiday travel period, representing a 3 percent increase over last year’s record-setting totals.
Friday, August 29, is expected to be the busiest travel day, with more than 161,000 travelers scheduled to arrive and depart. Other peak days include Saturday, August 30, with an estimated 157,000 passengers, and Monday, September 1, with about 156,000 passengers anticipated.
To help families navigate the busy holiday weekend more smoothly, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has launched its new “Families on the Fly” security lanes at MCO. The program, rolled out nationally and piloted at Orlando, provides a dedicated option for families traveling with children 12 and under. TSA officers in these lanes are specially trained to assist with items like strollers, car seats, and diaper bags, making the screening process less stressful for parents and children alike.
MCO also recommends that travelers take advantage of its available convenience programs to make the holiday weekend easier:
MCO Reserve Parking guarantees a parking spot at the airport during the busy travel window
MCO Reserve lets passengers schedule an appointment for security screening, helping reduce wait times
Orlando MCO App provides real-time updates on parking availability and TSA wait times
With passenger volumes higher than ever, officials encourage travelers to arrive at least three hours before departure, especially for morning flights.
First Look at Ink and Paint Marketplace at Destination D23 Expo
Destination D23 is in full swing and we wasted no time diving into the merchandise! Our first stop, of course, was the Ink and Paint Marketplace, which is basically a one-stop shop for all the cool brands we love. We’re talking Lug, Pandora, Bath & Body Works, and more. It’s a treasure trove, and we are here for it!
First up, we had to hit the Lug booth. It’s always one of the most popular spots, and for good reason! They’ve got a ton of bag designs featuring all your favorite characters.

We also made a beeline for the Bath & Body Works booth. They’re showcasing their newest Disney collab, and it’s perfect for the spooky season: the Disney Villains collection! With wicked scents inspired by iconic baddies like Maleficent and the Evil Queen, these are the perfect potions to get you in the Halloween spirit. You’ve got to check them out!
Over at the Steiff booth, we were completely surrounded by the most adorable plush toys. They had a huge variety to choose from! We spotted favorites like Stitch, Angel, Mickey, Minnie, Dumbo, and even classics like Lady from Lady and the Tramp, Marie from The Aristocats, and Simba and Nala. These are some seriously huggable treasures.
And that’s not all! The marketplace is packed with other awesome booths, including Rock’em, where you can find a huge variety of cool and colorful socks, and Pandora, for anyone looking to bring home some magical bling to commemorate the weekend.
