We consider this a good thing as love the feeling of coming home on a Disney Cruise, regardless of what ship we’re sailing. 

Disney Wonder Rotational Dining Restaurants

Onboard Disney Cruise Line ships there is a concept called “rotational dining”, which just means you and your family rotate which restaurant you are in each evening for dinner. Note: these are “assigned to you.” You do not pick them. Check out your Cruise card or dining tickets for which restaurant you are in each evening. Dinner is served at 5:45 and 8:15; these are known as 1st and 2nd seating times respectively. On the Disney Wonder, there are three restaurants that you will rotate through Tiana’s Place, Animators Palate, and Tritons.

Triton’s Restaurant

Triton’s features a full-scale mural featuring our favorite Under the Sea friends. Offering classic American cuisine with a French twist, dinner here comes in 4 courses. Here you can grab Chef Louis French onion soup avocado citrus salad, and a variety of meats, veggies, pasta, and even three-cheese lobster macaroni. A Grand Marnier souffle is the showstopper dessert, but there are many to choose from if that’s not your style. 

Triton’s also offers Breakfast and Lunch if you decide to forego the buffets or quick-service dining restaurants on board. Since we always love a fancy meal, we would highly recommend grabbing either a fancy breakfast or lunch here one day. 

Disney cruise Cabanas Restaurant

Cabanas

Cabanas is the resident buffet restaurant and also the Disney Wonder Quick Service Restaurant onboard. Meaning you can grab food throughout the day, from any of the counters in restaurant. Cabanas offers a variety of meat, seafood and veggie options, alongside basics like salads, and fruits. Tables both in the restaurant and on deck make this a good place to go grab food and gear up for your busy day of relaxing. Truthfully, it is where everyone goes for breakfast and lunch, so if you’re looking to escape the crowds, plan to eat outside regular meal times or head to Triton’s instead.

Disney Wonder Dining Experiences

Like all Disney Cruise Ships there are additional options you can experience as part of your dining options. For instance on the Disney Wish, you can head to Olaf’s Picnic, here on the Disney Wonder, you can add the Royal Court Tea to your special experiences. 

Royal Court Royal Tea

We love tea parties, high tea, or any reason to sit down for tea service at any time! So if you’re looking for something extra special on your cruise, check out the Royal Court Royal Tea. It includes the Disney Princesses, a special menu with sweet and savory dishes, and a selection of herbal teas. The pricing as of this writing is 69 dollars per adult and 220 dollars per child. You will need reservations for this, so you can make reservations to Royal Court Tea here.  If you feel this is crazy pricey and will be at Walt Disney World before or after your cruise, check out the Garden View Tea Room for a tea experience ( without characters) at a much better price.

In-Cabin Room Service

One of the most confusing parts of our very first cruise regarded things that ARE and ARE NOT included. Room Service thankfully is INCLUDED! For most items on the menu that is. This is a nice perk! Especially if you just need a night in or aren’t feeling well. Review What’s Not Included on a Disney Cruise to get your bearings before you sail.
