Ep. 448 - Live Bonus Show - It Looks Marvel-ous: Recapping All the Announcements from Days 2 and 3 of the Disney Destiny Reveal
Chelsea from our show sponsor, My Path Unwinding Travel, joins us as we recap all the announcements from days two and three of the Disney Destiny reveal. The Desting is Disney Cruise Line's (DCL) newest Wish-class ship, and will set sail November 2025, with bookings starting September 6, 2024 for Castaway Club members and the general public on September 12. Heroes and Villains themed - she'll feature spaces and characters evoking some of Disney's greatest stories, including, as we learned, a heavy emphasis on the Marvel Cinematic Unviverse with Black Panther as the Grand Hall statue and Spiderman as the stern character (both are firsts for Disney as they have never had non-animated characters adorn the Grand Hall or stern of the ship). We're chatting through De Vil lounge, a Cruella De Vil themed bar onboard. The new Cask and Cannon, a pirate-themed bar. The Sanctum, a Dr. Strange themed bar that will replace the Bayou. As well as a host of other new experiences coming to the Destiny. Get your capes aflutter - it's time to chat about our Destiny!
