Main Dining: Sit-Down Restaurants on Disney Dream (Rotational Dining)

When sailing on the Disney Dream, there are three main dining restaurants included in the price of your Disney Cruise – Animator’s Palate, Enchanted Garden, and Royal Palace.

If you are a lover of Disney animation, you are going to be wowed by Animator’s Palate. This sit-down restaurant aboard the Disney Dream offers a unique dinner show starring Disney characters while you enjoy your meal. 

The menu (subject to change) consists of appetizers, soups, salads, main entrées, and desserts, and you can order as much or as little as you’d like at no additional cost. Start with the black truffle pasta purseittes, slurp on the butternut squash soup, and finish off with the Pacific black cod or Angus beef tenderloin. (But be sure to save room for dessert because the crème brûlèe is absolutely delicious!)

Enchanted Garden

Step into a greenhouse oasis at this beautifully-themed restaurant. Enchanted Garden is inspired by the gardens of Versailles and offers a seasonal menu – meaning the offerings may be different depending on when you set sail. 

Start off with the North Atlantic lobster ravioli or the Ahi tuna and avocado tower, followed by curried carrot and apple soup. Some of the most popular offerings for the main course include roasted pork tenderloin and pan-seared sea bass. And to satisfy that sweet tooth, Guests can opt to try an almond meringue cake, a chocolate torte, a creamy lemon buttermilk pudding, or a banana sundae.

Royal Palace

Dine like royalty in the Royal Palace. This French-inspired menu is sure to leave every voyage satisfied with offerings such as iced lobster and jumbo shrimp and Belle’s French onion soup. The main entrées include offerings such as an Angus grilled beef tenderloin or a Dijon-crusted rack of lamb. But don’t forget dessert because the crème brûlée and the peanut butter mousse are both incredible!

Sit-Down Restaurants on the Disney Dream (Adults-Only)

In addition to the three main restaurants, for those 18 and older who wish to have a more secluded, intimate dining experience, you should consider dining at one of the adults-only restaurants on board – Palo or Remy – for an extra cost.

When sailing on the Disney Dream, Guests have the option to dine at Palo – a northern Italian-themed restaurant for adults-only. In addition to dinner, Palo also offers a brunch option for most “at sea” days. Reservations are required for both dinner and brunch at Palo.

Room Service

If you are not up for eating out at a quick-service or dining location one day, or if you are looking for a midnight snack, room service is included with the price of your cruise! The room service menu offers a wide variety of made-to-order options such as hearty burgers, crunchy french fries, delicious grilled cheese sandwiches, and more. 

Room service is also offered for breakfast, but instead of calling from your stateroom, you will fill out the Room Service Request Card, which is located in a drawer in your stateroom, and leave it hanging on your door the night prior. Then, when your breakfast is ready for delivery, a stateroom host or hostess will knock on your door and deliver it to your room. No matter what you are looking for. From a savory burger to a sweet bite of ice cream, the Disney Dream has many options aboard for every palate.
