Disney Cruises have a lot to offer, like letting you experience the magic of Disney while sailing around to different locations!
You can find exclusive entertainment, special themed days at sea, holiday celebrations, attractions, and more. There is also a lot of exclusive dining available! If you’re planning a Disney cruise, the dining options are an important thing to consider, since it’s not like you can just order from DoorDash if you’re not feeling the options! So, let’s take a look at ALL of the dining available on the Disney Wonder!
Rotational Dining
All of the Disney Cruise ships have Rotational Dining, which means that guests on board rotate between three main table service restaurants for dinner during their cruise. The wait staff also rotates with the restaurants! Guests do not HAVE to eat at the restaurants included in Rotational Dining, but other dinner spots not included in the rotation will cost you extra money.
Let’s break down all of the restaurants included in Rotational Dining on the Disney Fantasy!
Tiana’s Place (Table Service; Rotational Dining)
Tiana’s Place is inspired by The Princess and the Frog with live jazz music and a festive atmosphere.
The menu includes Louisiana-inspired Creole and Cajun eats. You can get shrimp jambalaya, gumbo, Cajun-spiced seabass, among other entrées.
Triton’s (Table Service; Rotational Dining)
This restaurant is named after Ariel’s father from The Little Mermaid. Breakfast and lunch options include dishes like scrambled eggs, hash browns, chicken, and North Atlantic whitefish.
Dinner is a four-course meal with appetizers (like duck confit or French onion soup), entrées (like lobster macaroni, lamb shank, and roasted duck breast) and dessert.
Nothing quite like dining on elegant seafood cuisine while sailing the high seas.
Animator’s Palate (Table Service; Rotational Dining)
The Animator’s Palate restaurant is, obviously, all about Disney animation. The dining room shows hand-drawn designs from artists and guests can even watch an “innovative dinner show that celebrates the art of storytelling” while they eat.
The food here is a fusion of eats from the Pacific Islands, Asia, and California. For appetizers, you can choose from things like smoked salmon tartare, sliced Serrano ham, black truffle pasta purseittes, and a tomato tarte, or you could get things like creamy butternut squash soup, baked potato and cheddar cheese soup, arugula leaves, or a chicken and walnut salad.
Entrees include things like pennette bolognese, grilled tuna steak, lemon-thyme marinated all-natural chicken breast, herb-crusted pork chop, and ginger-teriyaki dusted angus beef tenderloin. There are some vegetarian options as well.
And, for dessert, you can get things like their signature lemon icebox pie, or the crunchy walnut cake, chocolate fudge cheesecake, cookies ‘n cream sundae, or warm sticky date pudding.
Also, if you’re 21 or over, you can pay an extra fee to pair your entrée with a wine from the available extensive wine list.

Palo
Now, let’s talk about Palo. This is an adults-only table service restaurant with a semi-formal dress code. This is one of the spots that isn’t included in the price of your cruise, so you can eat here for an extra cost. Brunch or dinner is $45 per person.
Brunch includes things like eggs, soups, waffles and pancakes, pizzas, and entrees. Many of these feature an Italian flair, so you’ll find things on the dinner menu like Lasagna Bolognese and Calzones, along with steak, fish, pasta, and more.
Entrées available for dinner include Italian dishes like butternut agnolotti, seared sea scallops on celery root puree, and piquant dover sole (which is fileted table side).

Other Dining Options
There are several other dining options on the ship, like quick service spots, bars, and lounges. For quick service spots, you can check out Sweet on You, which has all kinds of sweet treats, Senses Juice Bar, which is a juice bar near the spa.
Other quick service spots include Preludes, the snack stand located outside the Walt Disney Theatre and Eye Scream Treats, which has a selection of soft-serve ice cream flavors.
Lounges
French Quarter Lounge (adults only after nightfall): This spot is themed after the French Quarter in New Orleans, with wrought iron details and imagery from Disney’s Princess and the Frog. You can listen to live music while you snack on beignets and drink specialty beverages at this location.
Crown & Fin Pub (adults only after nightfall): The Crown & Fin looks like a classic British pub with leather furniture and a red tin ceiling. There are nods to Disney movies set in England like Peter Pan and 101 Dalmatians. The bar has lager and ale, including more than 14 beers on tap. You can also choose a glass of wine or a cocktail.
Cadillac Lounge (adults only after nightfall): The Cadillac Lounge reminds us of the swanky 1950s cars, with chrome accents and vinyl-covered barstools. This spot has a live piano performer and guest vocalists. You can order from a full bar here, with selections of beer, cocktails, champagne, and wine.
Azure (adults only after nightfall): This lounge has a subtle ocean theme, with decor that’s patterned after shells, coral, and other ocean life. This spot serves beer, wine, and cocktails. Some of their recommendations include the Azure (Kissui vodka, sparkling MIO sake, Patrón Citrónge, lime juice, guava juice) and Elderbubble (Absolut Raspberri, St-Germain Elderflower liqueur and Moët & Chandon Imperial).
Other Lounges: Aside from these lounges, you can also find the Cove Café, D Lounge, and Signals lounges on the Disney Wonder.
Finally, there is one more dining experience aboard the Disney Wonder. The Royal Court Royal Tea is a special dining experience where kids ages 3 to 12 can have a tea party with Disney princesses. The party includes entertainment, a selection of herbal teas, and a two-course meal — one course is sweet and the other is savory.
This experience is $220 each for children and $69 for the adults who go with them. It also requires advanced reservations. Each child will receive a special gift. The princess-themed gifts include a jewelry box, link bracelet, necklace with charms, a Cinderella doll, autograph book with pen, and a tiara. And the knight-themed gifts include a Royal Court cinch bag, sword and shield, pins, autograph book, and Duffy the Disney Bear plush.
