Disney Cruise Line Shares New Details for Marvel Restaurant Aboard Disney Wish

When Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, Disney Wish, debuts in 2022 it will be home to a first-of-its-kind Marvel-themed dining experience.

At the “Avengers: Quantum Encounter” at Worlds of Marvel restaurant “guests will play an interactive role in an action-packed Avengers mission that unfolds around them,” Disney said, complete with a menu inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“We’re doing something that’s never been done before in a restaurant, developing an exclusive Avengers adventure that will immerse our guests in the action through sophisticated technology and innovative storytelling,” said Danny Handke, senior creative director, Walt Disney Imagineering.

The experience will begin with Ant-Man and The Wasp, who will host a special presentation of the most Super Hero technologies, such as Captain America’s shield, Iron Man’s arc reactor, and Ant-Man’s Pym Particles, giving guests an up-close look at holographic models, field reports and scenes from Marvel movies displayed on the screens surrounding the room.

There will be a hands-on demonstration of the Quantum Core, with every table at Worlds of Marvel featuring its own “brand-new device that can cause objects to shrink and grow remotely.”

The menu, though still in development, will offer dishes inspired by African Wakanda, Eastern European Sokovia, and the Avengers’ home base of New York City.

Guests aboard the Disney Wish will also enjoy Marceline Market and Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods, two new quick-and-casual dining options for relaxed meals throughout the day.

Marceline Market is a food hall inspired by popular marketplaces around the world with both indoor and outdoor seating and ocean views all around. Featuring 10 food stalls and a café-style beverage bar in the center, Marceline Market will be styled as an old industrial loft converted into a bustling marketplace.

At this food hall, the local proprietors are Disney characters themselves, as each station is themed to animated films such as “Tangled,” “Ratatouille,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Zootopia” and more.

Marceline Market will offer a casual, walk-around dining experience for breakfast and lunch, followed by table-service dining at dinnertime with entrees cooked to order.

Located on the upper decks, Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods will provide families a quick bite for lunch, dinner, or anytime in between, including Disney Cruise Line’s signature soft-serve ice cream.

There will also be two brand-new selections: The Disney Wish will feature the fleet’s first dedicated quick-service venues for barbeque and Mexican-inspired fare. The open-air eatery comprises five themed food stalls: Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goofy’s Grill, and Sweet Minnie’s Ice Cream.

The design is inspired by the seaside boardwalk setting featured in “Mickey Mouse” animated shorts, a fitting addition to the Mickey and Friends-themed family district on the upper decks.

These new restaurants join an exciting line-up of previously announced dining experiences for families and adults. In addition to Worlds of Marvel, families will embark on a culinary journey to the “Frozen” kingdom of Arendelle and the golden age of Hollywood at two new restaurants aboard the Disney Wish.

The Disney Wish will sail its maiden voyage on June 9, 2022, followed by a season of three- and four-night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, from Port Canaveral, Florida.
