Wheezy’s Freezies – Inspired by everyone’s favorite penguin from Toy Story II, this poolside spot mixes up frozen-fruit smoothies.
Rotational Dining
One of the most unique dining aspects of a Disney Cruise is its rotational dining. Each night, your party rotates between three main restaurants on board, and your wait staff rotates with you. This allows you to try all that Disney has to offer while at the same time giving your waiters the opportunity to serve you better as they get to know you!
1923 – Step back in time and experience classic Hollywood glamour with a touch of Disney magic. This dining destination pays homage to the year when the legendary animation studio was founded in Southern California. With two stunning dining rooms named after the brothers who started it all – Walt and Roy, 1923 is a feast for the senses. Admire drawings, props, and other animation tools that depict the evolution of Disney animation from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen II.
Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure – Join Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf for a Nordic feast like no other! Oaken’s “Hearty Party Planning Service… and Sauna” is providing a flurry of Norwegian-inspired dishes that will have you feeling like you’re in Arendelle yourself. This gala is packed with Frozen fun and live entertainment from “local” musicians featuring your favorite Frozen songs. Get ready to pick up where Frozen II left off and indulge in a night of Nordic proportions.
Worlds of Marvel – This restaurant is truly unique and takes guests straight into “an action-packed Avengers mission that unfolds around you.” It serves a menu inspired by the MCU, including Wakanda.
Adults Only
Most of these options require an extra fee, but they offer some of the finest dining on board any cruise line. Be sure to make your reservations early!
Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement – Indulge in a gourmet culinary experience at Enchanté, where superior seasonal ingredients are expertly crafted into exquisite dishes by 3 Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement. In addition to dinner, Enchanté also features two other extraordinary dining experiences – Champagne Brunch and Just Desserts.
Palo Steakhouse – Inspired by Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast, adults will be able to indulge in a sumptuous feast of the finest Italian dishes and world-class steaks. Choose from a wide range of prime cuts, including the rich marbled Japanese Kobe and Miyazaki beef, the succulent Australian wagyu, and the elite American prime cuts. Like Palo, this restaurant also serves brunch.
Character Meals & Unique Dining Experiences
While some of these dining experiences require an additional fee, be sure to check your specific cruise information for more Disney character meals! On our last cruise, we were able to reserve our spot at the Disney Junior character breakfast at no additional charge. We simply needed a reservation!
Olaf’s Royal Picnic – Join Olaf, Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff for a delightful afternoon of summertime melodies, treats, and merriment. For an additional fee, children can enjoy this experience for $220, and adults can join in for $69. Every child gets a distinguished assortment of gifts as a keepsake that includes Olaf headwear, a cinch bag, a mandolin, a Troll plush, a water bottle, an activity book, a picnic blanket, and a Troll necklace.
Nightclubs & Lounges
Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of venues that cater to different preferences. Whether you’re looking for a lively atmosphere or a peaceful place to relax, there are options for you. Certain venues are family-friendly during the day and transition into adults-only spaces in the evening. This allows guests to enjoy the best of both worlds, ensuring a memorable and tailored experience for everyone on board.
Beverage Tastings – Discover and indulge in a wide range of adult beverages at engaging seminars that offer valuable insights into the realms of wine, beer, spirits, and beyond. Savor the opportunity to sample and learn from experts, as you delve into the fascinating world of libations and their diverse flavors. Seminars will vary based on itinerary, and additional fees apply. Reservations can be made when you complete your online check-in, and spots fill quickly.
Cove Café – This serene adults-only lounge offers specialty drinks, coffee beverages, and tea all day long. In the evening, adults can unwind and socialize while sipping on refreshing cocktails and exquisite wines, or enjoy a delightful light snack.
Currents – Enjoy a serene and laid-back atmosphere at this rooftop bar located on Deck 13. With its open-air design, you’ll have uninterrupted panoramic views of the ocean, coastline, and stunning sunsets.
Keg & Compass – This pub was designed to look like a Norwegian sailor’s map room from the 1800s. It takes inspiration from the tales and legends of Norse sailors. It has a “swashbuckling” style that captures the spirit of adventure.
Luna – This special gathering space takes inspiration from the Disney and Pixar short film La Luna, featuring a celestial theme. During the day, it offers family-friendly entertainment, and by night, it transforms into a sophisticated lounge for adults.
Nightingale’s – This enchanting lounge creates a romantic atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of a fairytale. Drawing inspiration from Cinderella’s iconic song “Sing Sweet Nightingale” in the beloved 1950 Disney film, the decor blends modern elements with a touch of fantasy.

Drawing inspiration from extravagant starcruisers like Dryden’s Vos’ ship in Solo: A Star Wars Story, guests can enjoy interactive tasting experiences and signature Star Wars-inspired cocktails.
