Marvel Characters, Including Black Panther, Embark on Disney Cruise Line's Destiny for Unique Avengers-Themed Encounters
Ready to sail with the superstars? This week, Disney Cruises gave us a sneak peek at their new Disney Destiny and the colossal Marvel presence it'll have once it sets sail later this year. From Black Panther to Spider-Man, even the trickster Loki will be there for your MCU fix. And let's not forget the Sanctum - a lounge inspired by Doctor Strange's digs, complete with magical concoctions that'll make you feel like you're right in the action.
But what about the non-Disney enthusiasts? Universal Studios Hollywood's Fan Fest Nights outlined cosplay etiquette for Star Trek, Wicked, One Piece, and Dungeons & Dragons enthusiasts attending their event. And With Labubu's latest drop set to hit stores nationwide, you better keep your eyes peeled for some bright, energy-filled merchandise.
Curious about Sinners? Make sure to catch it on the big screen in select theaters. And if you're heading to Coachella and happen to be a nerd, tune in for some gothic horror, rock opera, and nerd-filled fun. But remember, protect your eardrums with the right protection, like Loops.
Now, let's talk about Disney's Destiny. Marvel characters like Black Panther and Spider-Man will be front and center to greet cruisers on the ship, which is themed to heroes and villains. Don't forget about a bar inspired by Doctor Strange's offices, complete with magical brews and a bar-top effect to refill your drink like Thor's mug in the movies.
And, of course, there's Minnie Mouse, decked out in a superhero outfit that'll make you question whether she's keeping up with the Marvels. For even more Marvel action, head over to the Heroic Bites eatery, where Edna A La Mode's sweets and Marvel dining await.
Skip over to the Worlds of Marvel dining experience, where you can indulge in delicious eats while hanging out with the Guardians of the Galaxy. And don't miss the Incredibles-themed treat stop, where you'll find edible delights that'll make you feel like one of the family.
If you're headed to Universal Studios Hollywood's Fan Fest Nights, remember to check out their cosplay guidelines before you don your costume. Dress as your favorite characters from One Piece, Wicked, Star Trek, Back to the Future, and Dungeons & Dragons, but make sure to follow their guidelines to ensure a fun and safe experience for all.
Remember, costumes need to be family-friendly and cannot fully or partially obscure your face. Prosthetic makeup is allowed, but make sure it doesn't cover more than half of your face. No weapons or special effects are allowed, and cosplay accessories need to be made of soft, lightweight material and non-functional.
As cosplay-inspired attire becomes available at Fan Fest Nights, make sure to check it out, even if you're not dressing up. After all, who doesn't love a little nerd-chic?
And while you're there, don't forget to check out the immersive experiences, like encounters with Star Trek characters, on-stage performances, and an immersive Wicked experience.
With more Pop Mart locations opening up, there's more chance to score some Labubu merch. But with their signature items hard to come by, make sure to look up your closest official Pop Mart location or Robo Shop before they sell out!
And finally, make sure to catch Sinners on the big screen in select 70mm and IMAX theaters. From California to Florida, and even overseas in the UK, you won't want to miss this film. Check out the listings to find a theater near you and immerse yourself in the action.
