Wow! I can't believe that Pride Lands is listed as having a second themed menu during FIVE-night sailings. Meaning that not every guest will get to enjoy the second menu. That seems to go against the prevailing trends to date.
Wow, that is surprising. Anytime I've been on a shorter sailing, DCL hasn't done a unique MDR menu if not everyone will get to go it (they instead do a shared menu, like Pirate Night).

I agree that is a bold and honestly an insane choice. Even if they have Marvel offer its other show, those who get 1923 on that night are missing out.
 
And only for those who do second dinner seating? I guess it’s a way to push people to choose second over first seating.

I’m shocked at this too, since one night will be pirate night it means that only one rotation will get the extra menu.
 
The two themed meals at Feast of the Lion King does seem an odd choice unless they are doing duo meals at each? Just seems like fun for guest services for those in the know on port arrival day and trying to get changed to having 2 Feast dinners.

I also assume that if this is actually happening, it will be spread far and wide well before the third sailing. No one keeps pixie dust quiet anymore or special and unique items secret. Things even like character sheets used to be pixie dust that just magically happened and now everybody is on social media telling people to ask your stateroom host for it.

It reminds me of things like the paint brushes on Tom Sawyer‘s island that had to go away when everybody started sharing about it and then adult started running all over the island first thing in the morning, trying to get them for fast passes.

Social media ruins everything 😅

It really does. Charming places that used to be off the beaten path are mostly "discovered" now too and overrun. With respect to Disney, little quiet corners, better bathrooms, and everything else that people just discovered naturally almost no longer exist because "influencers" can't help but put it out there.

This post officially makes me an old man. "Get off my porch!"
