Some of the destinations and events mentioned on this post were complimentary or a media rate was extended as part of my attendance to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration–an invite-only conference held by Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line
During our first Disney Cruise we were very impressed with all the food options at the different restaurants available at the ship. My son was super happy with all the sea food options and the free 24 h room service. If you like to eat delicious food, then a Disney Cruise is perfect for you.
Disney Cruises offer dinner seating and when you check in online for your cruise you can choose the time that works for your family. The two options are 5:45 pm or 8:15 pm.
Dinner includes appetizers, entrees and desserts. If you choose to have any alcoholic drinks those have an nominal fee. Each night on the cruise you will enjoy dinning at a new restaurant (Rotational Dining). That way you get to try the food at all the restaurants during your cruise. The dining staff members (waiters) will rotate with you. That is great because your server will get to know you and will know what you like or do not like. The menu on each restaurant is amazing and if you want to try everything you can. Imagine that? You can order two appetizers. Or you can ask for a small portion of another entree so you can try more food. It is totally a foodie paradise. All the food, coffee, soda, fruit juice and tea are available at no charge, so go ahead and indulge and enjoy trying different things. You will not be disappointed. On top of that, there are fast service restaurants available and also free room service 24 h a day. That means you will not go hungry. There are also two adults-only restaurants (Palo and Remy) and for those, you need to make reservation is advance, probably before sailing. There is an additional fee to dine on the adults only restaurants. Enchanted Garden (Deck 2)
Dinning become a magical experience as day becomes suddenly night with lighting effects. Here were our favorites on the menu

Flo's Cafe (deck 11)
Fast food like burgers, chicken, pizza and salads. Great option while seating by the pool watching your kids play in the slide.
It has three different food options: Luigi’s Pizza, Tow Mater’s Grill, and Fillmore’s Favorites Free ice cream
You can enjoy unlimited (FREE) soft serve ice cream. Head over to deck 11 at the Eye Scream (Ice Cream), look for Mike Wazowski station. This is a self serve ice cream station.
Vista Cafe (Deck 4)
For a nominal fee you can enjoy here coffee. The pastries available here do not have an extra cost. I decided to get my coco mug to add to my collection.
Cove Cafe (Deck 11)- Adults only area
Located on Deck 11 on the adults only area, they offer coffee and cocktails (for a nominal fee). Choose between espresso, cappuccino, latte, Americano or even flavored options.
Nightclubs & Lounges
My favorite was Pink, a pink-hued Champagne bar. I hanged out just for a bit on the bars because I spend a lot of time by the pool and enjoying shows and family entertainment.
The most popular ones are: Evolution, Pink, Skyline, Pub 687, and District Lounge

All the food looks delicious and I cannot believe it is included on the price of the cruise, and even room service? Love it

Your photographs of the food are so beautiful and have succeeded in making me very hungry! I love the idea of "rotational dining." I've only ever been on one cruise, and all our evening meals were in the common dining room. If you went to any of their on-board restaurants you had to pay (and it wasn't cheap).

I have never been on a cruise but the free ice cream sure is alluring. lol It is pretty amazing how the little things like that really make a trip that much more fun but it really does every time for us. This does look like a lot of fun so I know my family would enjoy it.
