Foodie Guide to Rotational Dining on the Disney Wish

Originally published at Disney Parks News

This summer, the latest ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet set sail – the Disney Wish! I was lucky enough to experience the Disney Wish and, as a first-time Disney cruiser, was so impressed by not just the beauty of the ship but the food too.

If you’re a foodie like me, knowing what you can expect to eat on vacation is a must. And one of the best parts about traveling on Disney Cruise Line is rotational dining – a concept that remains exclusive to the fleet. This allows you to dine in different restaurants throughout your voyage, giving you the opportunity to experience highly themed environments, feast on various cuisines, and maybe even see some of your favorite characters along the way. While you enjoy a different dinner each night, your service team accompanies you, meaning that you get personalized service with friendly and familiar faces.

The Disney Wish features three different family dining locations, each with their own stories to share – 1923, Worlds of Marvel, and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure. Each dining room offers something unique and serves up some truly delicious dishes that will leave you wanting to order more – which you can!

For those with allergies, no need to worry. There is a separate menu available with some additional items as well as clear indications of what you can enjoy. Simply ask your server and bon appétit!

Let’s break down all the food items you can enjoy at the three family restaurants aboard the Disney Wish!

1923 

1923, named after the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, pays homage to the golden age of animation and embraces that old Hollywood feel as sketches and models of animation classics can be found all throughout the dining room. The dining room is split into two parts, one dedicated to Walt Disney and one to his brother, Roy Disney. The delicious cuisine is inspired by California flavors and ingredients.
