Disney Dream Dining
Savor distinctive choices onboard—from menus inspired by romantic destinations to restaurants with magical themes. With Disney’s Rotational Dining, you’ll “rotate” to one of 3 different restaurants with a unique menu each day of your cruise, but your servers—who know your every taste—remain with you. Let’s dig into the dishes based on each type of dining.
Casual Dining on Disney Dream
Cabana’s
Stroll along an inviting beach boardwalk boasting fresh flavor faves for breakfast and lunch. The buffet style service makes it easy to grab something before you head out for the day when in port.
Make a pit stop at this outdoor eatery, home to 3 food stations—Luigi's Pizza, Tow Mater's Grill and Fillmore's Favorites—inspired by Disney·Pixar’s Cars. Guzzle burgers, chicken, pizza, salads, sandwiches, fruit bowls and wraps. Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats
If you’re looking for something a little extra, you can upgrade your dessert game at Vanellope’s — inspired by the super-sweet arcade game from Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph. Enjoy a “Sugar Rush” with hand-scooped gelato, fresh waffle cones, baked treats and candy in a wide variety of delicious flavors. Please note this dining option is an extra cost and not included in the price of your cruise. Frozone Treats
This poolside spot mixes up refreshing, frozen-fruit smoothies for the entire family to enjoy—morning, noon and night! Senses Juice Bar
Nutritious refreshment haven near Senses Spa & Salon, available for an additional fee. Preludes
Pick up cookies, candy, cocktails and popcorn before a show—or enjoy wait-staff service from your seat inside the theater for an additional charge. Soft Drink Station
Another thing we love about Disney Cruise Line are the soft drink stations that are open 24 hours a day. Having Coke products included with your cruise is a huge perk to Disney Cruise Line. Eye Scream Treats
Here’s where you’ll find an ice cream break anytime you need it. And just like almost everything else on the Disney Dream, this sweet treat is included so you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank on ice cream. Flavors change throughout the cruise, chocolate, vanilla, banana, strawberry and pineapple.

You can also enjoy outdoor seating with views off the front of the ship. Breakfast has the Mickey waffles and on select days you might even find churro Mickey waffles!

Main Dining on Disney Dream
Each night you’ll rotate between the main dining restaurants for dinner. Dining times are typically 6:00 pm and 8:15 pm. If you have the first dining time, you'll be assigned the second show time and vice versa.
You might consider the second dining time for two main reasons. One, your kids might be more alert for the shows. Two, if you choose the second seating, your servers can rush dinner out for your kids and they have the option to go to the Oceaneers Club. The counselors will even come pick them up at the restaurant for you so you can continue with dinner. That may have been the most magical of all!
The Disney Dream offers three main dining restaurants with special pirates menu on Pirate Night:
Animator’s Palate
Disney animation is the star of the show here, supported by amazing food and unique entertainment. This restaurant is a favorite that can be found on all of the Disney Cruise Line ships. Get Away Today staff shares, “We ate at Animator's Palate twice and experienced two different themed nights. Animator's Palate has their own show that includes animated characters coming to life on the walls of the restaurant. We also got to experience Pirate Night here, which was really cool. The walls became screens that featured some of Disney's most famous pirate scenes.”
Savor a market-style menu of flavors from around the world at this restaurant inspired by the gardens of Versailles. Royal Palace
Feast like a king or queen on French-inspired, continental fare at this stately restaurant inspired by classic Disney Princess films.

During your meal you might even spot Crush from Finding Nemo—he actually talks and interacts with you during dinner! One Get Away Today agent shares, “Another night we all had the chance to draw a figure and they animated all of them at the end of the dinner. It was very cute to see the drawings come to life.”
Note that on longer cruises, when you eat at Animator’s Palate a second time it's an all new menu.
