    Hi! My mom and I are going to be sailing on the Disney Dream from Ft. Lauderdale from January 13th - 18th. Since it is a 5 night cruise, how does the rotational dining work and which restaurants do we repeat? Thank you!

    Hey Megan!

    I'm excited to help with your second cruising question! You might want to grab a snack because answering dining questions always makes me hungry.

    I love rotational dining because you automatically get to visit each of the three main dining rooms and you get to stay with the same delightful serving team. You won't believe how fast they get to know you! Your dining room assignments will appear in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App once you have boarded the ship. Typically, you'll visit each restaurant and then start the rotation again in the dining room from the first night. So you will probably get to enjoy your first two dining rooms twice. Don't worry, there will be fresh menu items to try and you definitely won't be bored!

    Dining rotations on the Disney Dream include the three main dining rooms:

    • Animator's Palate where you might get a visit from my favorite sea turtle, Crush!
    • Enchanted Garden has one of my favorite dessert menus on the whole ship. Make sure you save some room for a treat!
    • Royal Palace is so pretty, it's a great location for a fancier outfit if dressing up sounds like fun to you.
    You can also choose to visit Enchanted Garden or Royal Palace for breakfast or lunch some days! I really like having breakfast in the dining rooms to see them at a different time of day and enjoy a more relaxing atmosphere than the buffet.

    Don't forget, you can always order room service for a quick snack! I often take a break in the afternoon and relax with a cheese plate while I get cleaned up for dinner. And you can always order one last treat to finish your day on a sweet note!

    Thanks again for visiting us, Megan! If you have more questions I hope you'll bring them on over. We'd be happy to help! 

    Keep moving forward!
