Hello again, Aman!
Thanks for sailing by planDisney with another question. We are happy to see you and to learn that you are getting ready for your second Disney Cruise Line vacation!
I love talking Disney dining, so let's get started on your question. On Disney Fantasy, you will find the following restaurants:
- Rotational Dining - Animator's Palate, Enchanted Garden, Royal Court. At least one of these will also be open for a sit-down breakfast and lunch each day of your cruise.
- Quick Service & Buffet-style - Cabana's, Flo's Cafe
- Adult-exclusive Dining (reservations and additional fee required) - Palo, Remy. Both of these locations offer brunch (on select days) and dinner.
Aman, gluten-free options are readily available, including Mickey Waffles. At this time, Disney Cruise Line does not offer a "vegan" menu, but rather you will find "plant-based" labeled items on menus. In addition to these items, you can request other items (both established menu items or additional "off-menu" options) to be prepared gluten-free and/or vegan. To ensure your beloved Mickey Waffles (or other items) are plant-based/vegan, I have some tips for you:
- Add your preference for gluten-free and vegan meals to your reservation information. Under the Already Booked tab on the website, select My Reservations. On the next page, scroll down to Special Requests. There, you can indicate gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free and/or vegan under Dietary Preferences. Requests should be added to your reservations at least five weeks before you sail.
- When you board the ship, stop at Guest Services or check your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to find when and where the embarkation day Dining Orientation is held. This orientation will allow you to speak with chefs and restaurant management teams about special dietary requests.
- One of the fabulous features of a Disney Cruise Line voyage is Rotational Dining, which allows your dining team to travel with you between restaurants where you will enjoy dinner each evening. On your first night, speak with your Lead Server about your requests. They will walk you through the best plan for making special requests and how to pre-order meals that fit your needs, not only for the evening meal but also for breakfast and lunch. They will assist you in making requests at Cabanas, too.
I hope this information helps set your mind at ease and gives you a plan for enjoying those iconic Mickey Waffles, Aman. Please let us know if you have other questions; we are happy to help!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
