If you’re setting sail on the Disney Dream, prepare your taste buds for a frogtastic culinary adventure. Disney Cruise Line restaurants go beyond the traditional with immersive theming, top-notch service and delicious dining experiences. The Disney Dream delivers all that and more! From Rotational Dining that lets you experience three uniquely themed main restaurants to quick bites and fine dining, there’s a ribbiting range of options for every kind of cruiser. Here’s everything you need to know about where to eat on the Disney Dream!
Rotational Dining Process for Disney Dream Restaurants
One of the things that makes Disney Cruise Line’s dining experience so unique is Rotational Dining. Rather than eating in the same main dining room every night, guests "rotate" between three restaurants: Royal Palace, Animator’s Palate and Enchanted Garden. At the same time, the same dedicated serving team follows guests from location to location. That means you get a new dining experience each evening while still being greeted by the same friendly servers who know your favorite drinks and preferences.
Royal Palace
For those who enjoy dining like royalty, Royal Palace on Deck 3 is an elegant restaurant that takes cues from the classic Disney princess films "Cinderella," "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Sleeping Beauty" and "Beauty and the Beast." Chandeliers twinkle overhead and golden details make the whole restaurant feel like a fairytale dining hall.
The Royal Palace serves up a French-inspired menu fit for a prince or princess, offering a four-course dining experience. Guests can start with appetizers like escargot baked in garlic butter, chilled lobster and shrimp with citrus dressing or a rich French onion soup topped with melted Gruyère.
For the main course, indulgent options include the chateaubriand-roasted filet steak with a red wine jus, oven-baked salmon royale with a horseradish crust or a vegetarian wild mushroom-stuffed pasta in a broth. Desserts are equally delicious, featuring the Grand Marnier soufflé (a huge guest favorite!) served with a vanilla crème anglaise and a classic Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée.
The regal experience is complemented by a selection of fine wines and specialty cocktails you can purchase at an extra cost.
Animator’s Palate
Animator's Palate is a crowd-favorite restaurant on many Disney ships, where Disney animation comes to life right before your eyes. Located on Deck 3, this restaurant features Disney artwork and screens that showcase the progression of classic Disney movie animations from original concepts to final designs. Lily loved seeing the original sketch concepts of "Alice in Wonderland" while she enjoyed her meal.
On select nights, guests are treated to an interactive experience featuring Crush, the sea turtle from "Finding Nemo." He actually chats with guests in real time, so don’t be surprised if you get called a “totally awesome dude” while sipping your soup.
The menu is just as impressive as the atmosphere, featuring bold flavors and creative dishes that pair perfectly with the restaurant’s theming. Guests can start with the black truffle Pasta purseittes, pasta filled with truffle cheese in a champagne sauce, or a smoked salmon tartare topped with American black caviar. Main courses include ginger-teriyaki dusted angus beef tenderloin, served with wasabi mashed potatoes and lemon-thyme marinated chicken breast, accompanied by sour cream mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. For a sweet finale, try the white chocolate brownie cheesecake and cookies & cream sundae.
Enchanted Garden
Modeled after the gardens of Versailles, Enchanted Garden on Deck 2 is a tranquil, floral-themed dining room that magically transforms from day to night as you eat. Lily-shaped light fixtures, twinkling “stars” and lush greenery make this restaurant feel like a peaceful garden retreat.
The menu is just as enchanting, starting with appetizers like the ahi tuna and avocado tower or the North Atlantic lobster ravioli in a tomato broth. A guest favorite from the main course options is the pan-seared sea bass served over fava beans and pea risotto, while the caramelized sea scallops paired with roasted asparagus and pearl pasta is a favorite of ours! Dessert includes rich options like the steamed lemon buttermilk pudding or the Esterhazy cake, a layered almond meringue soaked in maraschino liqueur.
Cabanas Buffet & Deck Eateries
When you’re hopping from onboard activities to pools and Port Adventures, sometimes you just need a quick and easy meal. The Disney Dream has plenty of casual eateries for a fast but delicious bite.
Cabanas
Cabanas is the ship's buffet located on Deck 11. If you like variety, this is the place to be! This buffet-style restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, with a massive selection of options from American to international that change daily. From Mickey waffles and omelets in the morning to a seafood bar, pasta and carving stations at lunch, there’s something for every craving.
Flo’s Café
Located near the pool deck on Deck 11, Flo’s Café is where to go for quick and tasty meals throughout the day. Inspired by the "Cars" movies, this casual dining area is made up of several themed stations: Luigi’s Pizza, Tow Mater’s Grill, Fillmore’s Favorites and on the Disney Dream, Ramone’s Cantina. You’ll find poolside favorites like burgers, crispy chicken tenders, pepperoni or cheese pizza, fresh salads, sandwiches and even build-your-own taco bowls with rice, beans and all the toppings.
Eye Scream Treats
Craving something sweet? Head to Eye Scream Treats on the pool deck. This self-serve station is open most of the day and typically closes around 11 p.m. You’ll find unlimited soft-serve in rotating flavors, and plenty of cones to go around.
Frozone Treats
Frozone Treats is located midship on the pool deck and serves fruit smoothies, including an optional spiked version for adults. Unlike the free soft-serve at Eye Scream Treats, items here are an additional charge.
Additionally, you'll find several bars, lounges and cafes across the ship. Hop to our post on the DCL bars and lounges and DCL cafes for more info! And don't froget about room service, which is complimentary and available 24 hours a day.
Adult-Exclusive Disney Dream Restaurants
The Disney Dream offers two upscale adults-only restaurants, Palo and Remy. The exceptional service, intimate atmosphere and menus crafted with premium ingredients and culinary techniques set these restaurants apart from the regular rotational dining rooms. These Disney Dream Restaurants are a must-visit for any foodie who loves a touch of elegance.
Palo
Palo is an Italian-themed restaurant on Deck 12 inspired by the city of Venice. Whether you're visiting for dinner, brunch or Prima Notte at Palo (their first night dining experience), Palo is known for its handmade pasta, premium meats, fresh seafood, legendary desserts and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The menu has two options for dinner: a four-course prix fixe of Italian classics with a modern twist for $50 or a la carte items. You can also add on a wine pairing for $70. Standout dishes include the antipasti platter, where servers bring a selection of cured meats, marinated olives and aged cheeses tableside and the pappardelle, a rich buttery pasta dish featuring lobster and chili-garlic butter sauce. Meat lovers will enjoy the beef tenderloin, served with a choice from a selection of sauces, while seafood fans can savor the seared sea scallops or piquant Dover sole in nut butter with capers and roast thyme potatoes.
If you can only choose one dessert, go for Palo’s famous chocolate soufflé. This airy dessert comes with warm vanilla bean and chocolate sauces that are poured tableside.
Palo is also one of the best brunch restaurants at sea, offering an à la carte menu that features parmesan-crusted chicken, eggs Florentine, fresh pastries, mimosas and much more. During brunch, you may order as much as you like for the set fee of $50. This meal comes with a complimentary mimosa or bellini. Brunch is extremely popular, so reservations are highly recommended.
You can book reservations for brunch or dinner at Palo on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and your booking window will open based on your Castaway Club status. Palo also has a formal or semi-formal dress code, although shorts are allowed for brunch.
Remy
Remy is the most luxurious of the Disney Dream Restaurants and requires a reservation. It offers a multi-course, French menu crafted by world-class chefs. Located on Deck 12 and inspired by "Ratatouille," Remy features an elegant Art Nouveau design. Due to its meticulous attention to detail and fine dining service, it is often compared to Michelin-starred restaurants.
Dining at Remy is an event with menus featuring the freshest seasonal ingredients, expert wine pairings and artistic plating. Guests can choose from two different prix-fixe menus: the Saveur Menu, curated by Chef Arnaud Lallement (a three-Michelin-starred chef from France) and the Goût Menu, designed by Chef Scott Hunnel, known for his work at Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World. These experiences start at $135.
The courses might include golden osetra caviar, Maine lobster, Wagyu beef or truffle-infused gnocchi. Each dish is presented in an artful way that makes it almost too beautiful to eat. For an even more exclusive experience, guests can opt for the Remy Champagne Brunch for $80 or the Remy Dessert Experience for $65. These specialty tastings are paired with premium champagne selections.
Dining at Remy is strictly adults-only and a formal dress code applies, so pack your evening best if you plan to indulge in this one-of-a-kind, high-end dining experience.
Vanellope's Sweets & Treats
Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats is a specialty dessert shop located on Deck 11, near Cabanas. Inspired by "Wreck-It Ralph," it features hand-scooped gelato, ice cream, candy and themed sundaes served in souvenir cups.
Tad and Lily shared Vanellope's Go-Kart Sundae and still use the go-kart bowl at home. It's so cute! Everything is priced à la carte, and you can even pre-order a sundae to be delivered during dinner.
The Disney Dream is a true foodie’s paradise with so many fantastic dining options. Whether you’re dining in the elegant Royal Palace, chatting with Crush at Animator’s Palate or indulging in a chocolate soufflé at Palo, every meal onboard feels like an experience straight out of a Disney storybook.
