What Food is Served at Olaf's Royal Picnic?
No royal picnic would be complete without snacks!
Guests are treated to a selection of summertime treats and beverages inspired by the whimsical world of Arendelle. The menu includes a selection of picnic-style finger foods, desserts and beverages. Guests are served an assortment of sandwiches, wraps, pastries and sweet treats; menu offerings may vary by sailing.
What are Olaf's Royal Picnic Gifts?
One of the reasons Olaf's Royal Picnic is so popular is the collection of exclusive keepsakes children receive during the event. As Olaf would say, "all good things, all good things!"
Gift offerings can change over time, but children typically receive Frozen-themed souvenirs created specifically for this experience. These gifts are not available for purchase in the ship's merchandise shops.
Gift offerings may change over time, but children have received items such as:
- Olaf-themed cinch bag
- Olaf baseball cap
- Mandolin
- Troll plush
- Picnic blanket
- Reusable tumbler
- Troll necklace
- Frozen-themed activity book
As noted above, families also receive a complimentary professional photo with Anna, Elsa and Kristoff presented in a special keepsake holder after the event.
Only children ages 3 to 12 receive the gift package, which helps explain the higher child admission price. Adults attending the experience do not receive the souvenir collection.
What Ship Offers Olaf's Royal Picnic?
Olaf's Royal Picnic is currently available exclusively aboard the Disney Wish.
The experience takes place in Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, one of the Disney Wish's included Rotational Dining restaurants.
Because Olaf's Royal Picnic is only offered on one ship and has limited seating, it is one of the most difficult onboard experiences to reserve. Demand is especially high on sailings with lots of families and during school breaks and holiday periods.
If this experience is a priority for your family, we recommend booking as soon as your onboard activity booking window opens. You can see when your booking window opens based on your Castaway Club status. Reservations frequently sell out before embarkation day, though guests can always check with Guest Services onboard to inquire about cancellations or waitlist availability.
How Much Does Olaf's Royal Picnic Cost?
Olaf's Royal Picnic is currently priced at approximately $275 per child and $75 per adult. Prices are subject to change.
How to Reserve Olaf's Royal Picnic
If Olaf's Royal Picnic is on your must-do list, booking early is important.
Reservations open before your cruise based on your Castaway Club status:
- Pearl Castaway Club: 123 days before sailing
- Concierge Guests: 123 days before sailing
- Platinum: 120 days
- Gold: 105 days
- Silver: 90 days
- First-time cruisers: 75 days
You can reserve Olaf's Royal Picnic through the Disney Cruise Line website or Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once your booking window opens.
Because seating is limited and the experience is exclusive to the Disney Wish, reservations often disappear quickly. One helpful tip is to prioritize booking before other onboard extras, since this experience tends to be one of the fastest to sell out.
For children who love Frozen, this experience can easily become one of the most memorable moments of the entire cruise. However, if your family isn't particularly interested in Frozen or you're trying to stick to a tighter vacation budget, you may find greater value in Disney Cruise Line's many complimentary character experiences offered throughout your sailing. For Frozen superfans, though? This one is pretty hard to beat.
