‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ to be Celebrated at Avengers Campus at Disneyland Resort
Originally published at Disney Parks News
In “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” the leaders of Wakanda fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must forge a new path for their beloved kingdom. At Disneyland Resort, we’re inviting you to join your own chapter of that journey!
I’m so excited to announce that for a limited time beginning Nov. 11, 2022, on the date of the release of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and through Jan. 8, 2023, you can encounter, learn from and celebrate the arrival of new visiting warriors, taste Wakanda-inspired delicacies, discover props from the film and more in Avengers Campus and beyond at Disney California Adventure park, plus, pose with a special art installation at the Downtown Disney District.
You are invited to Avengers Campus to witness as they introduce the world to the next warrior taking on the legendary mantle of the Black Panther. Who will it be?
As previously revealed, M’Baku, one of Wakanda’s greatest warriors and chieftain of the Jabari Clan, will also make his way to Avengers Campus.
I’m excited to announce that M’Baku will invite recruits to join in “The Way of the Jabari.” An all-new experience that will share some of the cultures of the Jabari Clan through chants and percussion.
Adjacent to the campus, just steps away from the site of the Collector’s Fortress, The Black Panther Celebration Garden will honor the legacy of the Black Panther in Wakandan lore. This celebratory space invites guests to relax and reflect on the legendary protectors of the Kingdom of Wakanda.
Nearby, Super Hero recruits will find powerful fuel at the Flavors of Wakanda marketplace located in the Hollywood Backlot.
Enjoy flavorful, spiced traditional African dishes and experience the vibrant culture of Wakanda through its food. Wakanda-inspired delicacies include the Peri-Peri Chicken with yellow Jollof rice, the Butterfly Pea Tea Lemonade, and the Dawa beverage. Consisting of vodka, lemonade, honey, ginger beer, and butterfly pea tea, and Maafe. A ground peanut stew with sweet potatoes, tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and spices, served with naan.
At Shawarma Palace and Shawarma Palace Too inside Avengers Campus, feast on the Wakandan Roasted Pork Wrap. Featuring spiced pork with black garlic sauce and chermoula.
