A peek behind the curtain at Hercules rehearsals for the Disney Destiny

Disney Cruise Line invited me to a very special peek behind the curtain, as they prepare the new Broadway-style stage show of Hercules for the Disney Destiny. During the preview of the new musical, I had a chance to hear music, see some of the choreography, and learn about the puppets that will come to life on stage. The Disney Destiny sets sail in November, 2025, with four and five night cruises. Thanks to Disney Cruise Line and ‪@DisneyParks‬ for the incredible day behind-the-scenes at their studios in Toronto.
