Disney Cruise Line’s next ship, the Disney Destiny, has had us talking since its initial announcement. Now that we’ve gotten a taste of what we can anticipate finding on board, a few of the merch collections exclusive to the ship, and even a look at some of the entertainment we’ll see! The ship is getting closer to being completed, and Disney’s offering us a behind-the-scenes look at one particular space.

Disney Cruise Line is hard at work crafting one of the spaces we see ourselves using most on their newest ship, the Disney Destiny. Café Megara will be one of two new walk-up cafes just off the Grand Hall, and Disney’s giving us a behind-the-scenes look at how Walt Disney Imagineering is drawing inspiration from the animated classic, Hercules to create a venue fit for the gods. The café is named after the heroine in Hercules’ story, Megara, or Meg for short!

Each design detail in Café Megara is handpicked by Imagineers to create a vibrant lounge with nods to the ancient world of Greek mythology and legendary heroes. Everything from the barstool and lounge chair fabrics to the accent wall tiles will feature a color palette inspired by both Megara and Pegasus, and will incorporate hues of purples and blues.

In the sneak peek that Disney posted, we see a little bit of this styling in action. Walt Disney Imagineers Beth Burkhardt and Rachel Willcoxon are pictured reviewing textile samples that will come together to give the feeling of being at Mount Olympus, including details like a custom cloud-like carpet pattern and wallpaper with hidden designs of Pegasus in the clouds.

As Imagineers grow closer to finalizing their selections based on the layout of the café and its film inspiration, the shipyard team will be able to move forward in transforming the rest of the Disney Destiny ship into its hero (or villain) era, depending on where you’re standing!

We love it when we get a chance at a peek into what Disney Imagineers are working on before it’s final stages. We’ll continue to watch for future updates with Disney Cruise Line about the Disney Destiny as it nears completion. Be sure to stay tuned with us right here at DFB so you don’t miss a thing!
