No matter what you crave, you're bound to be satisifed when you dine aboard the Disney Cruise Line®. With three themed dining rooms and a new menu each evening, your dining experience will be a highlight of your voyage.
The innovative rotational dining system allows you to dine in one of Disney's outstanding restaurants each evening. Whether it's the imaginative Animator's Palate, tropical Parrot Cay or elegant Lumiere's (Magic) or Triton's (Wonder), each venue provides a unique dining event.
You'll see familiar faces each evening since your dining staff follows your rotation. Your helpful servers get to know you and your preferences providing unmatched personalized service.
On the Disney Cruise ships, there are two seatings, Main and Second. Main seating is staggered at 5:45pm, 6:00pm or 6:15pm. Second Seating is at 8:00pm, 8:15pm or 8:30pm. (Requests for specific dining times can be noted but not guaranteed.)
Note: Be sure to let us know your preferred seating time
and table size when you make your reservation. Disney Cruise Line will do
their best to accommodate you. If for some reason you don't get
the time/table that you prefer, check your navigator when you arrive. There will be a time/place where you can inquire about changes.
In addition to the three restaurants, guests 18 and
over may make reservations at Palo, an upscale adult only restaurant
on Deck 10. Dinner is served nightly and on cruises which include a day at sea, a Champagne Brunch ahd High Tea is also offered. (Advance online reservations are strongly recommended.)
Animator's Palate: This restaurant is reminiscent of old black and white cartoons. As you dine, a magical transformation takes place as color washes over the walls and images. Be prepared for a fun
and memorable dining experience.
(NOTE: On cruises longer than 3 nights, your rotation may have you dining at this venue more than once. The "show" only takes place a single time.)
Parrot Cay: There's no mistaking that you're in the tropics at this colorful, vibrant restaurant. Overhead are tropical
birds with stylized palm trees, murals and portholes overlooking the sea beyond.
Lumiere's: Lumiere's is found on the Disney Magic and is the more "formal" dining venue. Disney's Beauty and the Beast is the theme. Subtle color changes and soft music add to the ambience. .
