Ahoy there, Susan, and welcome to planDisney! I am so glad you sailed by with this question because Disney Cruise Line is truly one of the most accommodating vacation experiences when it comes to dining requests.
As someone who has traveled with both family members and friends who have very different dietary needs, I can assure you that you will be well cared for from the moment you step aboard. To answer your question, yes, vegan options are absolutely available. All the ships offer a wide range of dishes that cater to various dietary lifestyles, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more.
At every
rotational dining restaurant, you will find plant-based entrées clearly marked on the menu. And if you do not see something you love, your dining team is wonderful about preparing an off-menu vegan dish tailored just for you. My daughter is a vegetarian, and she fell in love with a couscous dish she tried on the first night of one of our sailings, so our incredible Lead Server was able to make it magically appear each subsequent night of our trip. They really do go above and beyond to make mealtimes magical.
For the smoothest experience, I always recommend filling out a
Special Services form when you complete your Online Check In. Once you are onboard, let your dining team know about any allergies or preferences on the very first night. They will walk you through the menu, offer suggestions, and even coordinate special meals in advance so you never feel limited. For example, on my recent trip on the Disney Destiny, I was able to order an allergy-friendly lunch at Lookout Cay from our server at dinner the night before. Both of the Disney Island Destinations, as well as quick service locations and the buffet restaurant on the ships, also carry a surprising number of vegan-friendly options, and the chefs are always happy to answer questions about ingredients or preparation.
Susan, I hope this sets your mind at ease and gets you excited for all the delicious dishes you can enjoy while sailing with Disney Cruise Line. If you think of any other planning questions before your sailing, don't hesitate to head back to us here at

Embrace the magic,
