Disney Cruise Line Dining Rotation: The Disney Cruise Line boasts a unique approach to Cruise Dining. The rotational dining system allows guests to enjoy each of the three themed restaurants on board each Disney cruise ship. Animators Palate, Parrot Cay, and Lumiere's (Disney Magic) or Triton's (Disney Wonder). On the Disney Dream, the restaurants include Animators Palate, Cabanas, Enchanted Garden, Royal Palace, Palo and Remy.  One of the best parts of cruising is trying different cuisines.  Don't be afraid to try something new!  If you don't like it, your server can get you something else (or bring you more if you love it!).

When you get your Key To The World Card, you'll notice a series of letters. This is your dining assignment. For example, if you have APL, your rotation will be Animator's Palate, Parrot Cay and Lumiere's. You will also find tickets with your assigned seating time, restaurant schedule and table number in your stateroom. That will follow you for the duration of your Disney cruise. On your first night, you will be introduced to your Server and Assistant Server (they will follow you from restaurant to restaurant each evening). 

You will be amazed at how attentive the wait staff can be - don't be surprised if they learn all your names right away (and even what you prefer to drink and how you like your food prepared!).

Main seating on the Disney cruise ships is at 5:45 pm and Second seating is at 8:15 pm.  On the Dream's Caribbean and Bahamian sailings, your dinner seating time determines which evening show you will have tickets for. If you have Main dining, you will have tickets to the 8:30 show. Second dining will have tickets to the 6:15 show.     

Special summer sailings (including Alaskan and Mediterranean sailings) may have dinner at 6:00 and 8:30 pm. On the 7 night Disney cruise, you'll dine in each of the three themed restaurants at least once. On the 3 night Disney cruise you will have the opportunity to dine in each restaurant once, and on the 4 night Disney Cruise you'll repeat one restaurant. Adults 18 and over on all of the Disney cruises may make reservations for Palo, an adults exclusive restaurant on Deck 10. Keep in mind that if you make a dinner reservation at Palo's while on board the 3 night cruise you will miss the opportunity to dine at one of the restaurants in the regular dining rotation.

Seating Assignments and Requests: 

You will most likely be sitting with other passengers at dinner.  Private tables for your party can be requested but cannot be guaranteed, but part of the fun of cruising is meeting new people!  So, don't be shy - you might just make new friends and meet interesting people.

Be sure to request your preferred seating time and table size when you make your cruise reservation. Disney Cruise Line will do their best to accommodate you. You can also ask to be waitlisted for the dining time you prefer. If for some reason you don't get what you requested, there is a time and place listed on your Personal Navigator on Embarkation Day where you can make dining changes once onboard.

If you are traveling with a group you can have your reservations linked by Disney so that you are seated at the same table. They may be able to combine tables for a large group that wish to dine together. Disney or your travel agent will be able to help with this. You will be seated with the same people at your table for every night of your cruise. If you aren’t going to be dining in the dining rooms, you should notify your server.

Here's a brief description of each of the Disney Cruise Line restaurants:

Animator's Palate: (Disney Dream, Disney Wonder, Disney Magic)

This innovative restaurant transforms itself from black and white to full color as your meal progresses. Scenes from classic Disney films adorn the walls, and as each course is served, colors are added to the scenes. Be prepared for a fun and festive surprise end to your meal. (NOTE: When dining at this restaurant for the second time during your rotation, the "show" will not take place.) Menu



Animator's Palate on the Disney Dream

The show at Animator's Palate on the Dream is different than on the two classic ships.  Instead of the room changing from black and white to color, there are TV screens on the walls around the restaurant.  Throughout dinner, characters from "Finding Nemo" swim by to play interactive games with the children.  Crush will even occasionally stop and have conversations with diners!

---

Parrot Cay: (Disney Wonder, Disney Magic)
With island-themed décor, this brightly-colored restaurant gives diners a taste of the Caribbean. Lush palms, tropical birds and beautiful murals give diners the feel of eating in their own bit of island paradise. Menu

---

Lumiere's: (Disney Magic)
This restaurant is found on the Disney Magic. As the name implies, the theme is Beauty and the Beast. The elegant decor makes this the most formal of the three main restaurants.

---

Triton's: (Disney Wonder)
The Disney Wonder's equivalent of Lumiere's and themed after Disney's Little Mermaid. The decor is upscale.

---

Enchanted Garden: (Disney Dream) Enchanted Garden serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as a Main Dining restaurant. The Enchanted Garden transforms itself from day to night during dining.  The decor is made to feel like you are eating in the famous gardens of Versailles.

---

Royal Palace: (Disney Dream) Royal Palace is a Main Dining restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The decor is inspired by classic Disney Princess films. 

---

Palo: (Disney Dream, Disney Wonder, Disney Magic) With its 270-degree ocean view from high atop the ship on Deck 10, Palo has the loveliest view of all restaurants on the ship. Palo is adults 18 and over only, and reservations are required. This restaurant features outstanding Northern Italian cuisine prepared to order.

The view from Palo is spectacular due to the restaurant’s location on the ship, but please keep in mind that the view is only “viewable” before sunset. Around the perimeter of Palo is a walkway, which at night is illuminated by bright lights. After sunset, the only things visible from Palo are those bright lights and a reflection of the interior of the restaurant. We would certainly not let this deter us from taking an available reservation at a later time, but we like to let guests know that an earlier reservation is often easier to get and offers the addition of the spectacular view and sunset.  A new feature on the Dream is the option to dine outside on Palo's private teak deck.

Because your server does not follow you to this restaurant, a $15.00* cover charge per person is applied. In addition to dinner on both the Wonder and Magic, Palo brunch (Palo Brunch Photos ) is served at Palo on days at sea on the Magic and on the Wonder 4-night sailings. The same $15.00 fee is charged. There is a "High Tea" offered on the Magic and the Dream during the days at sea**. Reservations are required for all dining at Palo. 

*Prices for Palo on the Dream will be $20 for dinner and brunch, and $10 for High Tea.

**Price for High Tea on the Magic is $5.

During dinner, gentlemen will be required to wear a dress shirt. Gentlemen wearing polo shirts, t-shirts, Tommy Bahama style shirts, etc will not be allowed admittance. Jackets and/or ties are recommended but not required. Notices will be in the Personal Navigator, on the Palo reservation card and a sign outside the elevators on deck 10 will contain this dress advisory. The Resort Casual dress code for both the brunch and high tea remains unchanged.

Palo on the Disney Dream

---

Remy (Disney Dream) This adults-only premier dining location is on the Disney Dream. The French-inspired restaurant is named Remy, after the star of the hit film, "Ratatouille" and uses seasonal ingredients from around the world.

Chef Arnaud Lallement from l'Assiette Champenoise, a Michelin two-star restaurant in France, and Chef Scott Hunnel from Walt Disney World's signature restaurant Victoria & Albert's have teamed up to create the new menu. Dinner starts with a signature chilled Champagne cocktail and features eight or nine small courses. Remy has ocean views from its top deck location and is decorated in Art Nouveau style. Images of the character Remy are be hidden throughout the design.

This meal has a $75 fee, plus $99 if you want wine pairings with your meal.

Guests can choose from buffets served at the Beach Blanket Buffet on the Disney Wonder and at Topsider Buffet on the Disney Magic or a sit-down meal for breakfast and lunch. There is open seating for these meals, meaning you can eat in any restaurant and at any table you choose. 24-hour room service is also available.

Guests aboard the Disney Magic will have a Character Breakfast. You receive a ticket with the day/time during your dinner.

Cabanas: (Disney Dream) Cabanas is a Casual Dining restaurant on Deck 11 that serves fresh food favorites.  You have the option of eating indoors or outdoors on the pool deck.  Cabanas is a buffet that also serves a few made-to-order food choices for breakfast and lunch. At dinner, the restaurant becomes a table-service dining room serving Main Dining specialties. Cabanas is most easily accessible from the Aft elevators.

For quick and easy fast food on the Disney Cruise Line, Pinocchio's Pizzeria and Pluto's Dog House serve pizza and hot dogs, burgers, chicken fingers, etc. at various times each day. To satisfy your sweet tooth, Scoops (on the Disney Wonder) offers up ice cream and fresh fruit. On the Disney Magic and Wonder, you will find Goofy's Galley, a great spot to pick up a light snack such as wraps and fruit. There is also a milk, water, soft drinks, lemonade, tea and coffee station on Deck 9 aft that is available most of the time each day.

Flo's Café: (Disney Dream)

Guests looking for a quick bite to eat can visit Flo's Café, located near Donald's Pool on Deck 11. Themed to popular characters from "Cars" – Luigi's Pizza, Tow Mater's Grill and Fillmore's Favorites – this quick-service option serves snacks such as burgers, chicken tenders, pizza, fresh fruit, salads and sandwich wraps.

Eye Scream, Frozone Treats: (Disney Dream)
Frozen sweet treats are available from two quick-service venues located near Donald's Pool on Deck 11. Frozone Treats – named after the ice-creating superhero in the "The Incredibles" – mixes fruit smoothies. Eye Scream – inspired by Mike Wazowski from "Monsters, Inc." – offers softserve ice cream with plenty of favorite sundae toppings.

The Disney Cruise ships offer a "Pirates IN the Caribbean" evening! A pirate-themed dinner is followed by a deck party featuring Captain Hook, Captain Jack Sparrow or Captain Mickey. Guests are welcome to wear pirate attire if they'd like.

The Disney Dream will have a few additions to the evening that aren't available on the other ships.  Captain Jack Sparrow will host "Club Pirate", a high-tech dance party on the deck.  "Buccaneer Blast" is a new fireworks spectacular that is synced with music and includes even more fireworks than in the past!
