On the Disney Wonder, where can you get breakfast before 6:00 am?

You can call room service 24 hours a day except the last night of the cruise when it ends at 1:30AM.

What to Expect from a Disney Cruise Line Buffet Breakfast

All Disney Cruise Line ships have a buffet-style restaurant, called Cabanas (on the Magic, Wonder, Dream, and Fantasy) or Marceline Market (on the Wish and the upcoming Treasure). The buffet restaurants serve breakfast every on every sailing, other than on embarkation day. Hours may vary depending on whether the ship is at sea or in port, but typical hours for breakfast are from about 7:00 a.m. until about 10:30 a.m. See your onboard navigator app for the specifics of your sailing.

The photos below were taken on eight different sailings from 2020-2023 on the Magic, Dream, Fantasy, and Wish, as well as from a 2019 sailing on the Wonder. There is almost shockingly little variation in the breakfast buffet spread from day to day, year to year, and ship to ship. You might find slightly different egg preparations or pastry flavors, but overall there is great consistency in the DCL breakfast buffet menus across the fleet and over time. The main points of difference might be in something like varied boxed cereals on sailings departing out of non-U.S. ports or speciality items added for holidays. The one exception to this is a few offerings on the Wish are elevated from the other ships; these are indicated in photo captions.

The vast majority of the shipboard breakfast foods are geared to the American and Northern European palate, plus a handful of Asian basics.

The all-you-care-to-eat buffet is included with the price of your cruise at no additional charge.

Pastries and Breads

Warm Breakfast Bread-like Items

Meats, Eggs, and Other Savory Items

Note that while scrambled eggs and pre-made omelets are available on the buffet line, each ship also has a made-to-order egg prep area where you can request omelets and freshly made eggs to order at no additional charge.

Fresh Fruit

Hot and Cold Cereals

Toppings and Sauces

Note that while the coffee from Cabanas and Marceline Market dispensers is free as part of the buffet, the quality of this brew is decidedly sub-optimal. There is a premium coffee bar inside the Marceline Market buffet area on the Wish and the Cove Cafe coffee bar is near the buffet on the other ships. These venues offer better coffee and options similar to those you’d find at Starbucks, along with prices similar to those you’d find at Starbucks.

Sample Plates

On debarkation day, the offerings are abbreviated to just a few pastries, fruit, cold cereals, and basic eggs and breakfast meats. The reduced variety is to encourage guests to leave the ship in a timely manner and to allow staff to prep for the next sailing. Again, breakfast is also offered in the main dining rooms on debarkation morning, but the menu is limited there as well.

Guests with food allergies should be sure to indicate their needs during the online preference request process or by contacting DCL at [email protected]. In any buffet situation the possibility of cross-contamination is high. Breakfast is also served in one of the ship’s main dining rooms and via room service where there is a greater degree of control over food distribution.

What do you usually get from the DCL breakfast buffet? Is there anything you wish they had, but don’t? Let us know in the comments.

Mickey Churro Waffles are not served every day. This treat can be once a sailing or on longer ones, every other day. So if that is a treat folks are looking for when deciding main dining room or buffet.

For a food allergy, find a waiter to order your breakfast made in the kitchen and brought out to you. You can also order your breakfast the night before to save wait time. Note that there are also boxes of gluten free cereal available on request and hidden somewhere out of sight (usually Chex). We sometimes bring a box of gluten free cereal from home for our kiddo and just carry it into the restaurant (like we do whenever we travel). Never had a complaint.

I love that they have a kid’s-height counter for the littles.

Disney Cruise Breakfast Menu

Sharing is caring!

Do you want to know what your options are for your breakfast on a Disney Cruise?

There are plenty of different choices:

Buffet Breakfast

• Sit-down menu in one of the rotational dining restaurants
• Cove Cafe – for the adults
• Room Service

This will be served every day in Cabanas on Disney Magic, Wonder, Fantasy, and Dream. On Disney Wish, the buffet is Marceline Market.

You will certainly be spoiled for choice with all the breakfast items available here.

The buffet usually opens around 6.30 am with a selection of continental breakfast items.

At 7 am the full selection is available with such items as eggs, sausage, bacon, Mickey Waffles, yogurt, fruit, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal, croissants, and pastries.

There is also an omelet station for freshly cooked omelets and eggs.

Room Service Breakfast Menu

There is a special breakfast room service menu (although this is not available on the morning you disembark).

You will find a card to fill out in your stateroom. If it isn’t on the desk then sometimes you will find it in the desk drawer.

If you can’t find one at all then ask your stateroom host and they will get some for you.

You fill in the card and hang it outside your door before 3 am.

The selection is limited to cold items, but it is always a nice luxury to have breakfast delivered to your room.

• Juices Orange, Apple, Grapefruit
• Breads & Pastries Danish pastries, Assortment of Muffins, Croissants, Doughnuts, White Toast, Whole Wheat Toast, English Muffins, Bagel
• Condiments Selection of Jams, Honey, Butter, Margarine, Cream Cheese
• Cold Cereals
• Cornflakes, Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, Froot Loops, Special K, Frosted Flakes, Low-Fat Granola Served with Whole or Skim Milk
• Beverages Whole/Skim Milk, Chocolate Milk, 100% Colombian Coffee, Decaf, Assortment of Teas, Hot Chocolate

If you just want coffee in the morning, but don’t want to be disturbed by room service, think about ordering a pot of coffee the night before. It will stay hot until the morning.

If you want a specialty coffee in the morning then head on over to Cove Cafe. All of the ships have a Cove Cafe, which is exclusively for those aged 18 and over.

The coffee, tea, and other beverages are available for an extra charge. But there are free pastries available as well on all the ships, except Disney Wish.

Cove Cafe is a quieter option for breakfast. It doesn’t offer much choice of things to eat but is certainly the place to go if you need a decent coffee in the morning.

Breakfast on Disembarkation Day

You have a choice of either a sit-down breakfast at a set time, the buffet, or Cove Cafe for your disembarkation day breakfast.

Most people choose the sit-down breakfast in their allocated rotational dining restaurant. There are two timed seatings for breakfast on the final day.

Which one you go to will depend upon whether you have early or late seating.

What many people don’t realize is that one advantage of late seating is that you will get a later breakfast time on your final day. The times are usually 7.00 am and 8.15 am.

Where this is located will depend upon where you dined on the last night of your cruise.

Here you can see below the notice for a Disney Magic cruise where the breakfast is served and the times. It is all related to where and what time you dined on your last evening.

Disembarkation Day Breakfast Menu

Coffee Regular or decaffeinated

Assorted Teas

Hot Chocolate

Milk Whole, low-fat, skim or chocolate

Chilled Juices Orange, grapefruit, cranberry, prune, V-8, apple, tomato

Fresh Fruit

Grapefruit, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Watermelon, Bananas freshly cut for you to enjoy

Assorted fruit yogurts or low-fat plain yogurt

Natures Muesli bountiful mixture of toasted almonds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and granola mixed with oatmeal, raisins, dried fruits, yogurt, milk and honey

Oatmeal & Cream of Wheat

Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes, Low Fat Granola, Fruit Loops, Shredded Wheat

Fresh from the Bakery

Danish pastries, assorted muffins, croissants, bagels, donuts, English muffins, white, wheat or rye toast

Assorted jellies, jams and marmalades * no-sugar-added jams, jellies, marmalades and cholesterol-free vegetable margarine available

Breakfast Favorites

Chef’s Farewell A large open-faced omelet topped with barbecued chicken, green peppers, onions, and melted Swiss cheese

Route 66 scrambled eggs, bacon, grilled sausage, grilled ham and hash browns

Almost Home Corn beef hash, fried eggs, and bacon skillet topped with fried onions

Eggs for the Road Scrambled, fried, or boiled and served with hash browns and your choice of breakfast meat (grilled sausage, grilled ham, or bacon)

Omelet Map Denver, ham & cheese, plain, served with hash browns (egg beaters available upon request)

For a Sweet Journey Buttermilk pancakes, blueberry pancakes, whole wheat pancakes, Belgium waffles (all served with honey or breakfast syrup)

On the Move (Lighter fare) Lightly grilled vegetables, guacamole, tomato salsa encased in a whole wheat tortilla

Lox and Bagel a traditional favorite served with cream cheese

The buffet is also open on disembarkation day. This is the option that I prefer.

I don’t particularly enjoy the final breakfast menu and often the process feels rushed – it has to be as your Servers are working very hard to get your food to you quickly as they are on a very tight time scale. I tend to prefer the more relaxed pace of the buffet.

You can also go to Cove Cafe and get your coffee and a pastry. This is another relaxed way to spend your final time on the ship.

Is There a Disney Character Breakfast on a Cruise?

Before 2020 select sailings of 7 nights and over had a Disney Character Breakfast on board. However, since sailing resumed, the character breakfasts have not returned.

Final Thoughts

There are plenty of options for breakfast on your Disney Cruise.

Cost of Food on Disney Cruises – What’s Included, What’s Not

Before we dive into the specifics of the Disney Cruise Line food options, it’s essential to clarify what’s included in your fare. Here’s a rundown:

• Main Dining Rooms : Meals at the main dining restaurants (such as Animator’s Palate, Enchanted Garden, and Royal Court) are included.
• Quick-Service Dining : Food from quick-service (casual) spots like Flo’s V8 Cafe, Duck-In Diner, and Eye Scream is included.
• Buffet Dining : Meals at buffet-style dining venues like Cabanas are included.
• Character Breakfasts : These breakfasts are free, but tickets must be obtained in advance.
• Room Service : Most items on the room service menu are complimentary, but note that gratuity is not included.
• Snacks : Free snacks are available throughout the day at various locations on the ship.
• Most Non-Alcoholic Drinks : Complimentary soft drinks, milk, tea, water, and coffee are available at beverage stations and most restaurants.

Unlimited sodas and juices are included in your cruise cost, no drink package necessary!

Not Included:

• Specialty Dining : Meals at adult-exclusive dining venues like Palo, Remy, and Enchanté come at an additional cost. The same goes for Royal Court’s Royal Tea.
• Alcoholic Beverages and Specialty Drinks : Soft drinks are free at the beverage station, but alcoholic beverages, smoothies, and specialty coffees are not.
• Snacks at Preludes : Snacks and beverages at Preludes, located near the ship’s theaters, are not included.

Your Disney Cruise fare includes a wide selection of delicious meals that cater to all tastes. However, you have the choice to enhance your dining experience with premium options available for an extra charge. It’s entirely up to you whether to stick with the inclusive options or add charges to your stateroom account.

Keep in mind, though, that gratuities are not included in the cost of a Disney cruise, and this applies to both the included and extra-cost meals.

Types of Dining Experiences on Disney Cruise Line

A Disney cruise offers a variety of dining options to suit every taste, from gourmet foodies to fussy eaters. Here are the main types of dining experiences you’ll encounter on a Disney cruise.

Rotational Dining on Disney Cruises

Disney Cruise Line’s Rotational Dining introduces a novel approach to dining, blending variety with familiarity. My wife and I are big fans of this system, as it brings a delightful element of surprise to our meals.

In the Rotational Dining system, you’ll visit three main dining restaurants during your cruise, changing the venue each night . This rotation lets you appreciate the unique ambiance, theme, and menu of each restaurant, ensuring that you experience them all.

You don’t need to make a reservation for the nightly dinner service — you simply pick a dining time when you book your cruise. You’ll select either early/main dining (usually around 5:45 PM), or late/second dining (typically around 8:00 PM). As you board the ship, you’ll receive a dining rotation that shows which restaurant you’re assigned to for each night of the cruise.

One of the standout features of this system is the consistent service. Your serving team travels with you from restaurant to restaurant, quickly becoming familiar with your personal preferences, dietary requirements, and even your favorite dessert, leading to a truly personalized dining experience.

Here’s a glimpse into the dining rotation on each ship:

• On Disney Magic , the rotation includes Lumiere’s, Animator’s Palate, and Rapunzel’s Royal Table.
• The Disney Wonder features Triton’s, Animator’s Palate, and Tiana’s Place.
• On Disney Dream , you’ll experience Royal Palace, Animator’s Palate, and Enchanted Garden.
• Disney Fantasy also includes Royal Court and Animator’s Palate but with the Enchanted Garden as the third venue.
• And finally, Disney Wish introduces Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, Worlds of Marvel, and 1923.

Every meal becomes a highlight of the day, bringing the excitement of a new setting combined with the comfort of familiar faces in our serving team. For my wife and I, the variety offered by Rotational Dining transforms each meal into its own unique adventure.

Buffet Dining

Disney Cruise Line’s buffet dining options, like Cabanas on four Disney ships and the new Marceline Market on Disney Wish, offer a casual, diverse culinary experience. Both buffet venues feature an extensive selection of dishes for breakfast and lunch in a free-flowing dining environment, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of dishes at their leisure.

At Cabanas , guests can start their day with a classic American breakfast featuring made-to-order omelets, scrambled eggs, sausages, and Mickey-shaped waffles. Lunch transitions into contemporary favorites like salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, steak, chicken, seafood, and pizza. Vegetarian options and a kid-friendly menu are also available.

Cabanas’ décor is designed to evoke the relaxed ambiance of a beach boardwalk, complete with sweeping sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows and on an outdoor patio. The nautical-themed setting is enhanced with a stunning 30-foot-long mosaic depicting a scene from Pixar’s Finding Nemo.

Disney Wish enhances the buffet experience with Marceline Market , a unique venue housing a series of themed food stations. Inspired by international marketplaces, the restaurant offers a wide range of international dishes, including Italian staples, Asian specialties, comfort food, and seafood specialties.

Dining at the buffet is included in your Disney cruise fare and offers flexibility to suit every schedule. However, because operating hours and offerings vary from day to day, please check the daily schedule.

Specialty Dining

Disney Cruise Line’s specialty dining options are perfect for guests seeking an upscale, intimate culinary experience. These adult-exclusive venues – Palo, Remy, and Enchanté – do require an extra fee and reservations, but they provide an unforgettable culinary experience.

• Palo , available across all ships, offers Northern Italian cuisine in a sophisticated setting. The menu features a wide range of antipasti, handcrafted pasta, seafood, and delectable desserts, paired with a comprehensive wine list. Palo is my personal favorite, consistently impressing me with its atmosphere and cuisine. On the Disney Wish, Palo is enhanced as Palo Steakhouse , offering not only Italian favorites but also prime beef choices such as Australian wagyu and Japanese Kobe/Miyazaki.
• Remy – found on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy – delivers a superb French menu inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Ratatouille. My wife, Jaimie, is a huge fan of Remy — the impeccable service, the menu bursting with flavors, and the overall culinary experience are exceptional.
• On the Disney Wish, Enchanté takes luxury dining up a notch. The adults-only spot serves incredible food in a stunning setting with a menu designed by a three-Michelin-starred chef.

Palo Steakhouse – Disney Wish

The specialty dining venues on Disney cruises offer a peaceful, adult-only escape amidst the bustling cruise activities. They provide an opportunity for a relaxed, romantic meal. Exceptional service, thoughtful theming, and gourmet cuisine set these dining experiences apart on any Disney cruise. Speaking from personal experience, my wife and I believe these extraordinary moments justify the additional expense and the need to dress up just a bit.

Character Dining Experiences

One of the unique aspects of a Disney cruise is the opportunity to dine with beloved Disney characters . These special dining events provide magical moments for kids and kids-at-heart alike.

Some of the main dining rooms offer some character interaction during dinner. For example, Louie makes appearances at Tiana’s Place on the Disney Wonder, and the Frozen dining experience on Disney Wish features all the primary characters from the films.

Arendelle – a Frozen Dining Adventure, onboard the Disney Wish

Character breakfasts may be offered on cruises of seven nights or longer and offer the chance to pose for photos and get autographs from characters dressed in the cruise attire . It’s the perfect way to kick off your cruise day and one of the many reasons why Disney Cruise Line enjoys a reputation as the best cruise line for kids .

Additionally, the Royal Court Royal Tea Party (available for an additional fee on all ships except the Disney Wish) is a grand affair where young guests are treated like royalty . Accompanied by select Disney Princesses, guests enjoy tea, sandwiches, and pastries, along with storytelling and song performances.

The Vacationeer can provide more information about these special dining experiences.

Themed Dining Events

Disney Cruise Line takes themed dining to a whole new level with their unique dining events. These include Pirate Night , a swashbuckling celebration featuring a special menu and a grand deck party, and Frozen-themed dining on select sailings, where guests can savor Nordic-inspired dishes while interacting with beloved characters from the film.

On Marvel Day at Sea and Pixar Day at Sea sailings, guests can enjoy special themed menus inspired by their favorite movies. These dining events, complete with character appearances and entertainment, add another layer of magic to the Disney cruise experience.

In addition to meals, Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of snacks throughout the day. You can satisfy any mid-day or late-night craving with a variety of sweets and savory options.

One popular spot for a sweet treat is Eye Scream Treats , a self-service frozen dessert station where you can enjoy a (free!) swirled cone of soft-serve ice cream in various flavors. For those desiring a pastry or a caffeine kick, the adults-only Cove Café provides specialty coffees and assorted pastries.

Guests aboard Disney Dream can visit Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats , offering a delightful mix of candies, gelato, and baked goods inspired by the Wreck-It Ralph movies. On the Disney Fantasy, Sweet on You caters to guests’ sweet tooth with its handcrafted gelato, ice cream, chocolates, and an extensive selection of candies.

These snack locations are perfect for moments when a small treat is just what’s needed to satiate a sweet tooth or tide you over until the next meal. It’s important to note that while many snack options are included in your cruise fare, some items, particularly those from Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats and Sweet on You, carry an additional charge.

Room Service

Disney Cruise Line offers 24-hour complimentary room service , allowing guests to enjoy a meal or snack in the comfort of their stateroom. The room service menu features a variety of options, including sandwiches, salads, burgers, desserts, and a selection of beverages. Be sure to try the  All Hands On Deck cheese/cracker/fruit plate — it’s a repeat cruiser favorite!

You will need to pay a bit extra if you want canned sodas, specialty drinks, or prepackaged candies.

Whether you’re craving a midnight snack or prefer breakfast in bed, Disney’s room service has you covered. However, note that while the food is complimentary, gratuities for the delivery personnel are customary and not included in your cruise fare.

Lounges and Bars

Disney Cruise Line boasts a diverse range of bars and lounges catering to various moods and occasions. From refined champagne bars to dynamic sports pubs and relaxing pool bars, there’s an ideal spot for everyone.

Certain venues like Crown and Fin and O’Gills not only offer an extensive beverage selection but also provide light snacks or small-plate food options, enhancing your night out.

For those favoring an alfresco experience, pool deck bars such as Currents and Waves are perfect for a cocktail or cold beer paired with a selection of snacks.

Pink Wine & Champagne Bar (Disney Dream)

Each Disney ship hosts a unique nightlife district, offering themed bars and lounges. For example, the Europa district on Disney Fantasy, with its European-inspired venues, offers a variety of specialty drinks and bite-sized foods.

Disney Cruise Line’s bars and lounges extend beyond relaxation and socialization; they deliver a culinary adventure with finely crafted drinks and delightful snacks amidst a magical Disney setting. Note that while many drink options are included in your cruise fare, some specialty beverages and foods may incur additional charges.

Food at Disney Cruise Line Destinations: A Tasting Tour

Disney Cruise Line’s itineraries do more than just transport guests to some of the world’s most captivating and scenic destinations; they also offer a passport to discover unique flavors and culinary traditions from across the globe. As a result of the diverse food options available at these destinations, dining becomes an adventure, allowing guests to experience local culture through their food.

Castaway Cay

Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, is a tropical paradise with great food as well. Included in your cruise fare are meals at two island dining venues, Cookie’s BBQ and Cookie’s Too BBQ , which serve a mouthwatering spread of BBQ ribs, burgers, grilled chicken, hot dogs, fresh salads, and soft-serve ice cream.

Adults searching for a serene and relaxed dining environment can head over to Serenity Bay BBQ . This adults-only location provides the same tantalizing menu in a tranquil setting. It’s a location my wife, Jaimie, and I particularly enjoy.

Should you wish to indulge a bit more, various island bars serve a selection of tropical cocktails and beer for an additional fee.

Whether you’re savoring your meal with your toes in the sand or enjoying a fruity drink at the adults-only Serenity Bay, Castaway Cay offers a delicious taste of the tropics. See our Castaway Cay Tips page for more information.

Caribbean itineraries offer a chance to taste a medley of cuisines influenced by African, European, and Amerindian traditions. Local food vendors at various ports of call might serve up dishes like jerk chicken in Jamaica, roti in Barbados, or conch fritters in the Bahamas. If your itinerary includes a stop in Mexico, take advantage of the chance to savor authentic tacos or enchiladas.

Mediterranean

Disney’s European cruises introduce guests to a wide range of culinary traditions, especially in the Mediterranean. In Italy, you might enjoy a classic pasta dish or a slice of authentic Neapolitan pizza. In Greece, sample the traditional moussaka or a gyro filled with succulent meat and fresh tzatziki. If your cruise stops in Spain, don’t miss the chance to try paella or tapas.

Other Food Experiences on Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line also offers Port Adventures in many locations that include food tastings or cooking demonstrations, allowing guests the opportunity to learn more about the local cuisine and culture.

While dining onboard Disney Cruise Line is an experience to remember, the culinary adventures continue at each unique port of call. From local restaurants and food stalls to Disney’s very own Castaway Cay and forthcoming Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point , there’s a world of flavors waiting to be discovered on your Disney Cruise Line journey.

Special Diets and Allergies on Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line is committed to offering a wide variety of culinary options that cater to passengers with food allergies and special diets. They understand the importance of providing delicious, safe meal options for all guests, regardless of dietary restrictions or preferences.

Each dining venue on the ship features diverse menu options, many of which are suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and those with food allergies or intolerances. Guests with special dietary needs can expect to find a variety of tasty dishes, from fresh salads and grilled vegetables to unique plant-based entrees.

Disney Cruise Line menus accommodate a range of dietary requirements, including gluten-free, lactose-free, Kosher, Halal, and more. However, to ensure a seamless dining experience, guests are encouraged to communicate any food allergies or special dietary needs at the time of booking. This information is then shared with the onboard team to prepare and handle your meals with utmost care.

A Disney Travel Agent from The Vacationeer can be a helpful resource in managing this process. They can assist in notifying Disney Cruise Line of any dietary needs ahead of your sailing, ensuring your dining experience is worry-free and enjoyable. Remember, the key is to communicate your needs in advance, and Disney will do its best to accommodate you.

Are there vegan options available at the on-board restaurants? I’m not strictly vegan, but I try to eat a mostly vegan diet. I’m worried that I won’t have enough to eat.

Hey Janis! Disney Cruise Line can accommodate vegan diets, but it’s crucial to let them know about your needs in advance. While they offer some plant-based items on their regular menus, making a special request will ensure you have a wider variety of vegan options throughout your cruise. To make this process seamless and guarantee your dietary needs are fully met, I highly recommend booking through The Vacationeer. They’re a specialized Disney travel agency that can help you arrange vegan meals (or meals for other special diets) for your Disney cruise and ensure you’ll have plenty of delicious options on board. Bon Voyage!
