How can we help you.

Dining, Food & Beverages

Most cruise ships provide sumptuous food, but how many can say they have a restaurant that has walls that change color ? On a Disney Cruise, you’ll find magical touches from stem to stern—even during dinner.

The Rotational Dining offered on Disney cruises means you’ll change to a different dining venue each night while remaining with your dining party and the servers who know your preferences.

And while attire aboard a Disney Cruise is decidedly casual, our more formal  adults-only Signature restaurants do have guidelines for what to wear .

Onboard Beverage Service

Many of the beverages served during your cruise are complimentary. However, all alcoholic beverages and certain other drinks will be charged to your stateroom folio.

Beverages included at no extra charge:

• Soft drinks, coffee and tea served during meals
• Non-alcoholic drinks from the Beverage Station
• Soft drinks served at Vibe teens-only lounge

Beverages that incur an additional charge:

• Alcoholic beverages, smoothies, specialty coffees and bottled water served during meals
• Beer, wine, cocktails, bottled water and non-alcoholic beverages served in lounge areas

Please read our complete beverage policy before you start your cruise.

Rotational Dining

One of the most unique dining aspects of a Disney Cruise is its rotational dining. Each night, your party rotates between three main restaurants on board, and your wait staff rotates with you. This allows you to try all that Disney has to offer while at the same time giving your waiters the opportunity to serve you better as they get to know you!

1923 (Disney Wish) – Step back in time and experience classic Hollywood glamour with a touch of Disney magic. This dining destination pays homage to the year when the legendary animation studio was founded in Southern California. With two stunning dining rooms named after the brothers who started it all – Walt and Roy, 1923 is a feast for the senses. Admire drawings, props, and other animation tools that depict the evolution of Disney animation from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen II.

Animator’s Palate (Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy) – This is definitely one of the most unique dining experiences onboard, and you can find it on four Disney cruise ships. Offering Pacific Island foods, Asian cooking, and fresh California fare, Disney animation comes to life throughout your meal.

Enchanted Garden (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy) – Inspired by the gardens of Versailles, this restaurant is truly breathtaking. It serves a market-style menu and is one of the main dining restaurants onboard that also serves breakfast and lunch.

Lumiere’s (Disney Magic) – This Main Dining restaurant found only on the Disney Magic serves American cuisine for breakfast and lunch and contemporary French fare for dinner.

Rapunzel’s Royal Table (Disney Magic) – This restaurant is only available on the Disney Magic and currently serves dinner on Disney’s rotational dining. It serves American favorites as well as flavors from around the world. And did I mention there is also live entertainment and character appearances?

Royal Court (Disney Fantasy) – This restaurant, serving French-inspired, continental fare, is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on board the Disney Fantasy, and its decor is inspired by several different Disney fairy tales.

Royal Palace (Disney Dream) – This restaurant is very similar to the Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it serves French-inspired, continental fare, and is inspired by Disney royalty.

Tiana’s Place (Disney Wonder) – Inspired by Princess Tiana and New Orleans, this restaurant comes to life during dinner with live jazz music and character appearances while serving Louisiana-inspired, Creole and Cajun food.

Triton’s (Disney Wonder) – Inspired by Ariel and her father King Triton, here you will dine “under the sea” enjoying classic American cooking during breakfast and lunch and continental cuisine for dinner.

Worlds of Marvel (Disney Wish) – This restaurant is truly unique and takes guests straight into “an action-packed Avengers mission that unfolds around you.” It serves a menu inspired by the MCU, including Wakanda.

Adults Only

Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement (Disney Wish) –  Indulge in a gourmet culinary experience at Enchanté, where superior seasonal ingredients are expertly crafted into exquisite dishes by 3 Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement. In addition to dinner, Enchanté also features two other extraordinary dining experiences – Champagne Brunch and Just Desserts.

Palo Steakhouse (Disney Wish) –  Inspired by Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast, adults will be able to indulge in a sumptuous feast of the finest Italian dishes and world-class steaks. Choose from a wide range of prime cuts, including the rich marbled Japanese Kobe and Miyazaki beef, the succulent Australian wagyu, and the elite American prime cuts. Like Palo, this restaurant also serves brunch.

Remy (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy) – This adult-only restaurant serves fine French fare and is considered one of the finest dining experiences onboard all of Disney Cruise Line. Reservations are required. In addition to dinner, this restaurant also features the following on cruises of 4 nights or longer: Remy Champagne Brunch, Remy Dessert Experience, and Petites Assiettes de Remy

Senses Juice Bar (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy) – After your workout or massage, enjoy a healthy beverage to restore and replenish your body (available for an additional fee).

Character Meals/Unique Dining Experiences

While some of these dining experiences require an additional fee, be sure to check your specific cruise information for more Disney character meals! On our last cruise, we were able to reserve our spot at the Disney Junior character breakfast at no additional charge. We simply needed a reservation!

Olaf’s Royal Picnic (Disney Wish) – Join Olaf, Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff for a delightful afternoon of summertime melodies, treats, and merriment. For an additional fee, children can enjoy this experience for $220, and adults can join in for $69. Every child gets a distinguished assortment of gifts as a keepsake that includes Olaf headwear, a cinch bag, a mandolin, a Troll plush, a water bottle, an activity book, a picnic blanket, and a Troll necklace.

Palo Be Our Chef (Disney Fantasy) – This one-of-a-kind cooking class is available only on the Disney Fantasy and is currently priced at $279 per guest.

Royal Court Royal Tea (Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy) – Children ages 3-12 can participate in this uniquely royal experience. Herbal tea and two courses are provided, and several Disney princesses make an appearance! Children also receive a selection of special gifts . Like Olaf’s Royal Picnic, this experience is available for an additional fee.

Dining on a Disney Cruise: A Complete Guide

Whether traveling with family or a couples-only trip, Disney Cruise Line is our absolute favorite way to vacation! One of the highlights for us is the food. We absolutely love the amazing food, fabulous service and unique dining experiences on board these four wonderful ships. In this post, we will provide a complete guide with everything you need to know about rotational dining and the main dining restaurants, the buffet, counter-service locations, specialty restaurants, room service and more. After reading this post, you will know exactly what to expect when it comes to dining on a Disney Cruise!

• Rotational Dining on Disney Cruise Line

Rotational Dining is one of the highlights of a Disney Cruise Line vacation! It’s definitely something that sets apart a Disney cruise from other cruise lines. Many cruise lines have a ‘Main Dining Room’ where you dine each night. On many lines, you will have the same server each night. If you want to dine elsewhere, there are often what is called Specialty Restaurants that you can dine at instead. These Specialty Restaurants typically have an additional charge to eat there, while the Main Dining Room dinners are included. Essentially, you are having to choose between having your food included and getting to eat at a variety of restaurants. Plus, you only get the same servers if you eat in the same place each night.

The Disney Cruise Line Difference

Disney Cruise Line has developed a system that allows you to have the best of both options – Rotational Dining. With Rotational Dining, you have the same service team each night, your dinners are included and you still get to eat at each of the different restaurants!  Your party will have an assigned table number and service team which will remain the same throughout your cruise, regardless of which restaurant you are eating at. Each night, you will be assigned to one of the 3 main restaurants on the ship, and you will rotate through them each night depending on the duration of your cruise. For example, on a 3-night cruise you will eat at each restaurant once, while on a 7-night cruise you will eat at two restaurants twice, and one restaurant 3x.

As you move to a new restaurant each night, you sit at the same table number and your server, assistant server and head server move with you! On the 4 th night, you will return to the first restaurant again and if your cruise is longer, you will continue to cycle through the restaurants again. However, each night of the cruise there will also be a different menu. This system is one of our favorite parts about dining on a Disney cruise!

Your Dining Team on Disney Cruise Line

The incredible service team that follows you each night is a highlight of their cruise for many guests! By being with you throughout the cruise, they really get to know you and your family. They’ll probably remember what you like to drink by the second or third night, and have it ready for you when you arrive at the table! Another highlight is the uniquely themed restaurants you’ll be dining in throughout your cruise! Keep reading to see which restaurants are offered on each ship.

Main Restaurants

Each ship has three main restaurants that you will rotate through with Rotational Dining. However, each ship has different restaurants! Some of them are present on multiple ships, while others are exclusive to just one or two ships. In addition to eating your main dinners here, typically one of the restaurants will be open each day during breakfast and lunch for an a la carte option. Check out our list below to see all of the main restaurants on the ships!                                                                             

Enchanted Garden

On the Dream and the Fantasy, the Enchanted Garden Restaurant is located on Deck 2 Midship. This gorgeous dining room is themed after the beautiful gardens of Versailles. Enjoy a delightful meal at twilight with the day fading to evening around you as you dine. As the sky turns from daylight blue to sunset red, and finally to the twinkling stars, you’ll also see flower light fixtures bloom around you. This is certainly an enchanted garden, indeed! This restaurant is so beautiful we actually took some wedding photos here, which turned out beautiful (see below!)

Tritons/Lumiere’s/Royal Palace/Royal Court

First, these restaurants all have a different name and a slightly different design on each ship. However, these restaurants have a similar vibe and are all located in the lobby atrium of the ship on Deck 3 Midship. The lobby atrium is the first place you see when you enter the ship for the first time! These restaurants each have an elegant, upscale theme inspired by gorgeous palaces and Disney royalty. You’ll feel as though you’ve entered a royal ballroom in one of Disney’s classic princess movies!

Animator’s Palate

Animator’s Palate is the only restaurant that is on all 4 of the Disney ships. However, the concept varies depending on which ship you are on. On the Magic and Wonder, the restaurant has a black and white hand-drawn sketch theme, which will turn to color during one magical dining experience. Meanwhile, on the Dream and Fantasy, the theme of the restaurant is designed after an artist’s studio. Here, during your meal you’ll be immersed under the sea and into the world of Finding Nemo. On sailings 7 nights or longer, you’ll also get to enjoy Animation Magic. This is a show where every guest gets to draw their own character and see it come to life during the show. Regardless of which ship you’re on, dinner at Animator’s Palate will be an amazing experience!

Rapunzel’s Royal Table

On the Disney Magic, you can experience a delightful dining experience at this restaurant themed after the movie Tangled! Enjoy a feast fit for royalty as you celebrate the return of the lost princess, Princess Rapunzel. You’ll be treated to lively entertainment and appearances from your favorite Tangled characters!

Tiana’s Place

Princess Tiana’s dream was always to open a restaurant, and her dream has finally come to life on board the Disney Wonder! Experience a celebration of southern cooking and live jazz music in this festive restaurant. Full of southern charm, you’ll enter this Louisiana-themed restaurant and be transported straight to the bayou and into the story of the Princess and the Frog!

On board all 4 Disney Cruise Line ships, Cabanas is the main breakfast and lunch buffet restaurant! This is where most guests will choose to eat breakfast or lunch (or both) each day. It’s convenient and delicious, and buffets are just quick and easy! Plus, since it is located on the pool deck, you can easily pop in and grab your meal before taking it outside to eat on the deck or by the pool. Though many buffet items change every day, there are plenty of selections that are available every day! This boardwalk-themed restaurant has ten food stations serving an array of classic American fare. They have a top notch breakfast buffet with all the staples. We love that for lunch they always have pizza, chicken fingers, fries and macaroni & cheese available for the kids (and for guests like us, who just love ‘kids’ foods!). Additionally, they have a ton of other options like salmon, chicken, steak, seafood and vegetarian options. A salad bar, soups and dessert bar are all available too.

Dinner at Cabanas on a Disney Cruise

For dinner, if you miss your regular rotational dining seating or just prefer a quieter setting with an ocean view, you can also choose to dine in Cabanas. For dinner, Cabanas transforms into an a la carte dining experiences serving signature dishes from the main restaurants and other delicacies. If this is your first cruise we definitely don’t recommend skipping your scheduled dinner, as each of the main restaurants is exceptional. However, if you are a repeat cruiser or if you miss your main dinner for any reason, this is another great option for dining on a Disney cruise ship!

Counter Service Restaurants

Each ship has a selection of quick service options to enjoy as well. Order at a walk-up counter and you can immediately enjoy pizza, chicken tenders, burgers, fries and other favorites. They also have healthier options available like fruit and wraps! These counter service restaurants are a great option if you want to grab and go, eat by the pool or want a mid-day snack.

On the Dream and Fantasy, Flo’s Café combines Luigi’s Pizza, Tow Mater’s Grill and Fillmore’s Favorites with all the options located in a row. On the Magic and Wonder, the options are a bit more spread out throughout the Deck 9 pool area. Pinocchio’s Pizzeria serves up hot, fresh slices while Daisy’s De-Lites offers some great healthier options. The Duck-in Diner on the Magic and Pete’s Boiler Bites on the Wonder offer delicious American fare. The Duck-in Diner also serves Middle Eastern shawarma which is another delicious option!

Tip: When the Wonder sails to Alaska, you can also get an amazing soft pretzel from Pinocchio’s Pizzeria on sea days.

Specialty Restaurants

There are two specialty restaurants on board the Disney ships, which serve dinner and brunch. Palo is located on all four ships, while Remy is only available on the Dream and Fantasy. Both Palo and Remy are adult-exclusive, and offer an exceptional dining experience at an additional fee.

Palo and Remy

Palo is a delightfully chic Italian restaurant serving exquisite cuisine inspired by Northern Italy but with a twist.  Remy on the other hand is the most upscale dining experience on any of the Disney ships. This authentic French restaurant offers fine French fare in a first class, elegant dining experience. Of course, Remy is inspired by the Disney Pixar film Ratatouille.

Brunch and dinner at Palo are both $40 per person. For Remy, brunch is $75 while dinner is $125 (gratuities not included for either restaurant). As a bonus, if you are a Platinum Castaway Club member (have sailed 10+ times on DCL), you get a free meal at Palo.

Should you dine at Palo or Remy?

If this is your first cruise, don’t feel like you have to skip your wonderful main dining restaurant in order to pay extra for one of these specialty options. However, these restaurants are absolutely fabulous and definitely worth experiencing if you are celebrating a special occasion on board, or just want a special adults-night out!

Looking for other ways to enjoy some romantic, adult-only time on a Disney Cruise? Check out our post about experiencing romance on Disney Cruise Line!

Tip: If you have dinner at Palo, be sure to order a soufflé for dessert! The chocolate soufflé that Josh loves is famous among Disney cruisers, while Brittany prefers the Amaretto soufflé. Either way, you’re in for a treat!

Room Service (24-hr Dining on Disney Cruise Line!)

Room service is included on Disney Cruise Line, which we absolutely love! There are some items on the menu (canned soda, pre-packaged snacks like M&Ms, etc.) that are an added cost, and gratuities are not included, however for the most part you can order to your heart’s content without any additional cost. Some people love to order room service for breakfast. If you have a verandah stateroom, this is a great option because you can eat outside on your private balcony! Personally, we love to order room service as a late night snack. Brittany love the All Hands on Deck cheese platter, and the Macaroni and Cheese. Josh loves the Chicken Tenders and the Pepperoni Pizza. They also have some great dessert options, including a cake selection that changes daily. Having 24/7 room service is a highlight of the dining experience on Disney Cruise Line for many guests!

Tip: You can order a Mickey Ice Cream Bar from Room Service, even though it’s not on the menu!

Other Dining Locations on a Disney Cruise

Although we’ve covered all the main options, this wouldn’t be a “complete” guide if we didn’t cover the rest of the food service locations on board the ships! From snack spots to theater concessions to where to grab a smoothie, we’ve outlined the rest of the food locations below:

Eye Scream Ice Cream

Unlimited free soft serve ice cream? Sign us up! It’s no wonder that Eye Scream is probably one of our most visited spots on the ship. On our last cruise, we had visited this spot for ice cream cones five times before the ship even sailed out of port! They always have chocolate and vanilla available (plus vanilla-chocolate swirl) however they also switch out additional flavors throughout the cruise. You can check back throughout the cruise for flavors like banana, strawberry and blueberry!

O’Gills, Crown and Fin Pub, Pub 687

Each ship has a pub that is located within the nightclub/lounge area (which are 18+ after 9:00 PM). These pubs offer a small selection of pub grub which is available for an additional cost.

Cove Café and Vista Café

The Cove Café offers a relaxing atmosphere for adults to enjoy a specialty beverage in an adults-only setting. On all four ships, Cove Café is adjacent to the Quiet Cove adult pool. On the Dream and Fantasy, Vista Café is another option with similar selections in a setting overlooking the lobby atrium. The coffees, teas and specialty beverages at these cafes are an additional cost. In both Cove Café and Vista Café, they have a small selection of snacks and desserts available. Though it may look like they cost too, they are actually complimentary, so definitely give one a try!

Vanellope’s Sweets and Treats/Sweet on You

On the Fantasy and the Dream, a specialty ice cream, gelato and dessert shop offers a delightful selection of tempting treats! All options are available at an additional cost.

Theater Concessions

The Walt Disney Theater (where you’ll see Broadway-style shows and variety acts) and the Buena Vista Theater (the on board movie theater) both have a concession stand where you can purchase popcorn and other snacks for an additional cost.

Senses Juice Bar

Enjoy a freshly made blended smoothie or beverage for an added cost on the Dream and Fantasy as you enjoy a beautiful ocean view. The Senses Juice Bar is located inside Senses, between the fitness center and the spa. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a nutritious juice or smoothie after a workout or treatment!

Frozone/Sulley’s Sips

This poolside spot (Sulley’s Sips on the Disney Wonder, and Frozone on the other three ships) offers refreshing frozen beverages and smoothies for an added cost.

Nightly Adult-Area Buffet

Lastly, on most cruises, there is a small nightly buffet of late-night snacks available for the adults. The food items change day-to-day, but they typically have fruit and hot items such as dumplings, pigs in a blanket, etc. The location of this complimentary buffet varies by ship, but is located in the adult-only areas  (District, Europa or After Hours).

Dining on a Disney Cruise: Conclusion

There are so many options for dining on a Disney cruise that it’s almost impossible to go hungry! Food is available at all times of the day and you can eat as much as you’d like. While there are some options that have an additional cost, for the most part everything is included! You can certainly make it through the cruise without paying extra for food.

Dining is one of favorite parts of a Disney Cruise! From the amazing food to the fabulous servers, and the unique and exciting restaurants, it’s sure to be a highlight for many guests. And don’t forget about the unlimited ice cream! With so much to look forward to, who’s ready to start planning their next Disney Cruise Line vacation? We know we are!

Understanding Rotational Dining on Disney Cruises

Disney Cruise Line’s rotational dining is an innovative way for passengers to cycle through all three main onboard restaurants , experiencing a unique theme and menu each night. This innovative approach to dinner service guarantees a diverse range of culinary experiences throughout your journey, enriching each evening with a new dining adventure.

The process is straightforward. When you book your cruise, you’re offered a choice of two dining times . Based on your preference, a rotation schedule is prepared that outlines where you’ll dine each night of your cruise.

Every evening becomes a fresh adventure , as you’re welcomed into a different dining setting. You might find yourself in a classic princess-themed setting one night, then surrounded by Marvel’s superhero ambiance the next. And it’s not just about the changing scenery. The menus shift as well , offering a global range of cuisines that cater to all tastes.

But here’s what sets it apart: the personalized service . The same team that takes care of you on the first day will accompany you to each restaurant every single night. This allows for a consistent and personalized dining experience, despite the changing dining venues.

As discussed in our Guide to Food on Disney Cruise Line , we believe that Disney’s rotational dining is a fantastic blend of Disney magic and culinary exploration. It’s a standout feature, especially for first-time Disney cruisers , and contributes significantly to the unique Disney Cruise Line experience.

The Cost of Rotational Dining

The good news is rotational dining is included in your Disney Cruise Line fare , meaning there are no extra charges to enjoy these wonderful dining experiences. However, additional charges apply for specialty beverages, including certain non-alcoholic beverages, wine, and cocktails.

Time for Rotational Dining

Disney Cruise Line typically offers two dining times to choose from: the Main Seating around 5:45 PM or the Second Seating at 8:15 PM . You can request your preferred dining time when booking your cruise, but be aware it’s subject to availability.

Note: These are approximate times; on some itineraries, each seating might be a little earlier or later.

How to Make Rotational Dining Reservations

Are you wondering how to secure your reservations for Disney’s rotational dining? The good news is that selecting Main Seating or Second Seating for your dining rotation (chosen when you make your reservation) serves as a sort of standing reservation for dinner each night; you don’t need to make a separate dinner reservation for each night of the cruise.

If you want to change your dining time, you can work with your travel agent, contact Disney itself, use the Disney Cruise website, or use the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App . The app lets you find all the details you need, such as your dining location, times, and table number. It also gives you the option to change your dining time if you like.

If your first choice for seating time isn’t available, you still have options. Just join the waitlist through the My Reservations feature in the app. Please keep in mind that all requests are subject to availability.

Accommodating Dietary Needs at Rotational Restaurants

Disney Cruise Line truly shines when it comes to accommodating various dietary needs. They offer a range of options that cater to different dietary requirements, including gluten-free, vegetarian, no-sugar-added, dairy-free, and lighter-note offerings. You should specify your special dietary needs while booking your cruise .

My wife, Jaimie, follows a predominantly vegan diet, and she was pleased with the range of choices available at every meal. Even though she indicates her dietary preferences during the booking process, she also makes a point to notify the onboard staff about her diet. This helps ensure her dining experience is seamless and enjoyable. Disney Cruise Line staff have always done their best to accommodate our dietary requirements, and we thank them for it!

Rotational Restaurants Onboard Disney Cruise Line

There are five Disney cruise ships in its fleet. Here is a list of the rotating restaurants on each ship.

Disney Magic

Disney Magic , the first in Disney’s fleet, set sail in 1998. Onboard, you’ll find three distinct rotational restaurants:

• Animator’s Palate : A dining adventure where your surroundings transform from black and white into full color. With a menu offering American classics, there’s something for everyone. For us, the Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes is a must-try starter.
• Lumiere’s (Inspired by Beauty and the Beast) : This rotational dining spot offers an elegant dining room that mirrors the opulence of Belle and the Beast’s ballroom and serves French-inspired cuisine like the delectable bouillabaisse and snail-packed escargot. The Grand Marnier soufflé is our family’s favorite dessert here, a perfect finale to any meal.
• Rapunzel’s Royal Table (Inspired by Tangled) : Our kids love the lively atmosphere in this restaurant, where guests are treated to German fare and the joy of dancing with Disney princesses. I recommend the pan-seared sea bass, and my wife suggests the potato crepes filled with spinach, zucchini, eggplant, and ricotta.

Disney Wonder

Disney Wonder  boasts three themed restaurants:

• Animator’s Palate : Just like on Disney Magic, this restaurant also offers an animated show during dinner, making for a delightful dining experience.
• Tiana’s Place (Inspired by Princess and the Frog) : Here, the vibrant spirit of New Orleans comes alive with live jazz and Southern Cajun and Creole delicacies like jambalaya. Be sure to try the fried catfish; it’s one of my absolute favorites!
• Triton’s (Inspired by The Little Mermaid ): Triton’s offers four-course French-inspired suppers in an enchanting underwater setting. The three-cheese lobster macaroni was a big hit with my family!

Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

The sister ships, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy , feature three beautifully themed rotational restaurants:

• Animator’s Palate : The playful animation show during dinner makes the dining experience here a unique one. Beyond the entertainment, the food is equally impressive, with options to suit all palates.
• Enchanted Garden : Here, you’ll be transported on a journey from day to night – right at your dinner table. The ambient light and nature-inspired setting provide a truly enchanting dining experience. My wife Jaimie, who prefers plant-based dishes, enjoyed their Spinach and Raspberry Salad, and I enjoyed their Marjoram-Scented Roasted Chicken.
• Royal Court (Disney Fantasy only ): This princess-themed dining location serves exquisite French cuisine. With décor paying homage to classic Disney princess films, the grand ballroom ambiance truly sets a royal stage for a delightful meal. I can’t wait to bring my young daughter to this one!
• Royal Palace (Disney Dream only) : Drawing inspiration from timeless Disney classics like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, this dining place transports guests into a majestic grand ballroom. The restaurant offers a selection of elegant French and Continental dishes, promising a royal feast for every diner.

Disney Wish

Arendelle – a Frozen Dining Adventure

There are three unique themed rotational dining restaurants on the Disney Wish cruise ship , Disney’s newest member of its fleet:

• 1923 (Inspired by the Golden Age of Disney) : This restaurant is named after the founding year of The Walt Disney Company and presents a delightful fusion of Vintage Hollywood and Californian cuisine. The sophisticated setting transports you back to the Golden Age of Disney. I highly recommend the 1923 Peppered Filet Mignon.
• Worlds of Marvel : Disney Wish’s rotational dining restaurant Worlds of Marvel is the world’s first Marvel cinematic dining adventure. The place is buzzing with high-tech superhero action. The innovative menu is designed to be enjoyed by both adults and kids, so it’s a hit with the whole family. Our favorite dish here is the Steamed Bao Buns. It’s a must-try!
• Arendelle – A Frozen Dining Adventure : Taking inspiration from the much-loved movie Frozen, this restaurant serves traditional Nordic fare. The Scandinavian setting is immersive, complete with live entertainment making it a magical experience. I especially love the traditional Arendelle Kjottkake (meatballs) and Queen Iduna’s Potato Lefse.

Tipping in Rotational Dining

Disney Cruises do not include gratuities, at least up front. However, it is customary to tip your Disney Cruise servers , who accompany you throughout your stay on the ship from beginning to end.

Because you have the same servers each night, there’s no need to tip at the table after each meal. You’ll receive tip envelopes in your stateroom and can give those to the servers on the last night.

Tipping Envelopes are provided at the end of your Disney Cruise

Disney provides a suggested gratuity guideline to help you make an informed decision on how much to tip. Your Disney travel agent can also advise you on the appropriate tip amount.

If you do nothing in advance, the suggested tip amount will be automatically added to your onboard folio at the end of your cruise; you can adjust it up or down by visiting the Guest Services desk onboard.

Is Alcohol Included in Rotational Dining?

No, while the rotational dining experience includes your food, alcoholic beverages are not included . Beer, wine, cocktails, and certain specialty non-alcoholic drinks are available but come at an additional cost, billed to your stateroom folio. Complimentary beverages offered during your meals include soft drinks, coffee, and tea, See our Alcohol on Disney Cruises article for more.

Kids Menus at Disney Cruise Line’s Rotational Dining

Every restaurant in Disney Cruise Line’s rotational dining setup provides a dedicated menu for kids. The kids’ menu features time-tested favorites like mac ‘n cheese, chicken tenders, burgers, grilled chicken skewers, salmon, pasta, and pizza. A range of soups, salads, and desserts round out the options available specifically for children. With familiar cuisine options tailored especially for children, Disney’s rotating dining caters to even the pickiest eaters.

While kids under ten are initially given the kids’ menu, they’re not limited to it. Disney Cruise Line allows children of any age to order from both the kids’ and adult menus, offering them a wider range of culinary experiences. This policy ensures that all young guests can fully enjoy the rotational dining experience.

Do the Restaurants Actually Rotate?

The name “rotational dining” might be a little confusing.

In a revolving restaurant, such as EPCOT’s Garden Grill , the circular dining room slowly rotates during the meal, offering changing scenery while you remain seated. Disney Cruise Line restaurants are not revolving restaurants.

On a Disney Cruise, the term “rotational dining” means that you will visit a different restaurant each night — that is, you will  rotate among different restaurants throughout your cruise.

Pros and Cons of Disney’s Rotational Dining:

• Each dining room in the rotation offers a unique experience, allowing you to sample diverse cuisines and atmospheres.
• A significant advantage is the personalized service, as your servers follow you through the rotation and get to know your preferences and dietary needs.
• The integration of entertainment into the dining experience takes mealtime to a new level, keeping both adults and kids engaged.
• The set dining times (5:45 PM and 8:15 PM) may not suit everyone’s schedule, particularly those who prefer to eat at off-peak hours.
• You might find yourself longing to revisit a favorite restaurant, which can be challenging due to the predetermined rotation.
• While the nightly entertainment is often a hit, some guests might find it too stimulating, especially after a day filled with activities.

Insider Tips from Our Family:

Based on our multiple cruises, here are some tips to maximize your Disney cruise dining experience:

• Disney shines when it comes to accommodating food allergies, dietary restrictions, or taste preferences. Communicate your needs when booking (or have your Disney travel agent do it) and to your servers onboard for a seamless dining experience.
• Don’t hesitate to order multiple appetizers or desserts. It’s all included and is a fantastic way to taste a variety of dishes.
• While the rotational dining schedule is part of the Disney magic, you don’t have to feel tied to it. Room service or casual dining options like Cabanas buffet are also excellent for a more laid-back evening.
• Beyond the rotational dining system, don’t forget the specialty dining options like Palo and Remy. These are perfect for a romantic date night or an adults-only escape. We highly recommend trying them at least once during your cruise. See our Specialty Dining on Disney Cruises article for more information.

Is Rotational Dining Worth It? Our Family’s Verdict:

If you’re questioning the value of rotational dining on Disney Cruise Line, our family’s verdict is a resounding yes !

What I personally like about this unique system is how it combines a variety of dining experiences with exceptional personal service. It’s really fun to explore the creative themes of each restaurant, enjoy all sorts of different flavors, and experience the unique entertainment each venue offers.

My daughter loves the variety and looked forward to the new themes each night. My son enjoys trying different dishes from around the world (he’s an adventurous eater like me). And my wife likes how the serving team remembered our names and preferences and followed us to each restaurant. She finds the mix of new places and familiar faces a comforting part of our trip. The way Disney blends dining with their signature magic makes the whole cruise experience even better.

An Overview of EVERY Disney Cruise Line Restaurant

By Sara McOmber Leave a Comment

You might consider yourself a Disney World or Disneyland expert, knowing all of the rides , restaurants , and snacks that you absolutely love, but what do you know about  Disney Cruise Line ?!

The Disney Magic

Disney Cruise Line has cruise ships (filled with Disney theming !) that sail to a variety of destinations worldwide . Since we’re not currently on our way to the Bahamas (like we want to be), we’re doing the next best thing and looking at ALL of the restaurants onboard these ships. So, whichever ship you’re planning to board soon, you can check out this list to see what kinds of dining options are available !

We’re taking a look at ALL of the restaurants onboard all five Disney cruise ships. In this list, several of the restaurants and lounges can be found on more than one cruise ship .

If it’s the first time we’re mentioning a restaurant or lounge in this post, we’ll give a full description of that location . For all further mentions (on the other cruise ships), we’ll refer you to that description, in the earlier section.

Disney Dream

Each of the cruise ships has Rotational Dining, which means that guests rotate between three main restaurants (bringing their wait staff with them) for dinner during their cruise. If a restaurant is part of Rotational Dining, we’ll note that in its description. Other restaurants are available for different mealtimes or as alternatives to the Rotational Dining schedule.
