There’s also a new show, and real costumes from the movie.

There are many components to the celebration, including a new Black Panther in Avengers Campus, an entirely new show, a huge photo area, real costumes worn in the movie and a tribute to Chadwick Boseman. But on November 11 — the movie’s release day and the opening of the Wakanda attractions in the park — the first place I wanted to be was at the Wakanda Forever booth. It was finally time to get a taste of the imagined country.
The peri-peri chicken, a South African dish, was incredibly flavorful — smoky, a little spicy and very tender, and was served with West African jollof, a yellow rice with vegetables mixed in. I thought for sure the chicken would be the highlight, but then I tried the maafe, a West African stew. While it sometimes includes meat, this version of the ground peanut stew was prepared with sweet potatoes, tomatoes, black-eyed peas and spices, and served with a side of naan.
The butterfly pea tea lemonade is where the offerings got really Wakandan. The riff on the Arnold Palmer included lemonade, ginger beer and honey, and was topped with vivid purple butterfly pea tea, which evokes the “heart-shaped herb” that sends the Black Panther to the ancestral plane and imbues that person with enhanced physical abilities. The “dawa” version of this beverage comes with a different kind of enhancement: vodka.
