ICYMI: Singapore’s Disney Adventure cruise, Disney Cruise Line’s largest ship, has officially set sail on 10 March 2026! We were onboard the first voyage to scope out all of the nosh that’s included in your package. Think unlimited “free” meals and snacks, with over 20 distinct dining options. While some of these items may require extra charges, we’ve got you covered with our guide to the best Disney Adventure food to try, sorted by restaurant, so you can get the most out of your cruise.
FYI: For upcoming sail dates and bookings, visit the Disney Adventure cruise website.
Table of Contents
Both the Pixar Market and Enchanted Summer restaurants serve similar lunch buffets, but the former is where you want to be if you love to dine with a view, with the Main Dining Room hugging the perimeter of Deck 17 AFT. Do note that all buffets and restaurants will have rotating menus!
The international buffet has a healthy selection of cuisines, with Seafood Paella and Bolognese Penne alongside Tandoori Chicken and Coconut Tonkatsu Curry.
On this super inclusive menu, there are options for vegetarians too; if you have any allergies or preferences, you can let the staff know and they’ll do their best to accommodate. Don’t miss the many salads on offer, including Chicken Breast Salad and Falafel Salad.
At the kids’ section, there’s Mac and Cheese; otherwise, the little ones might enjoy a Cheeseburger or Bratwurst Roll, all made à la minute. We especially loved the Lamb Chop, which was generously cut, juicy and cooked to medium pink doneness.
For desserts, there’s Dryer’s ice cream, Warm Apple Crumble, Lemon Meringue Tart and other sweet treats.
After lots of fun in the sun and on the various rides, cool down with a soft serve, two, or, honestly, as many as you can stomach. There’s chocolate or strawberry, vanilla, or, for the best of both worlds at the same time, a swirl of both.
Pro tip: There’s a beverage station nearby, where you can get hot chocolate and coffee; then affogato it with soft serve!
Head to Discovery Reef for Stitch’s Ohana Grill for a quick bite in between meals. The 626, named in honour of the mischief-loving blue alien known as Experiment 626, is a buttermilk spicy fried chicken burger, with what we felt were rather tame levels of spice. It’s also made with a piece of chicken breast, FYI, in case you prefer dark meat.
There’s also Barbecue Huli-Huli Pulled Pork Burger, sandwiching a crisp fried onion, sweet-tangy pulled pork, and grilled pineapple.
Our favourite here was the Black & Blue Burger, with a Cajun-blackened Angus beef patty, blue cheese, a chive aioli and pickled red onions in a brioche bun.
The Navigator’s Club is a table-service Main Dining Restaurant that offers sit-down breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Your dinners are pre-assigned before the trip as part of the Disney Cruise’s rotational dining experience, which ensures that you will have an opportunity to try the menus at a different Main Dining Restaurant each evening; there are 2 sessions at 5:45pm and 8:15pm.
Of course, if you change your mind or would like to go for a meal at one of the Premium Dining Restaurants, you can let the Guest Services desk know, or make a separate booking.
We dined here on our first night, and started with assorted warm buns served with whipped sundried tomato butter.
On the small plates menu, we picked Sauteed Maitake Mushrooms, dolloped with sesame artichoke puree, on a bed of baby Malabar spinach, as well as a Duck Confit Pastilla, along with a Burrata Mozzarella Cheese and Prosciutto di Parma.
While all well executed, we adored our mains: Miso-glazed Chilean Sea Bass, and Peppered Filet Mignon with a pink peppercorn cafe au lait drizzled tableside.
We also appreciated that portions are on the smaller side, allowing you to order more of the same or try other dishes on the menu.
P.S.: Keep your napkins handy, because you’ll be invited to wave them in the air during Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy’s performance. Get up to dance and join in the fun!
Don’t skip desserts, and this comes from someone who doesn’t usually want sweet desserts. Definitely order the decadent Molten Chocolate Cake, paired with matcha ice cream, and Ube Creme Brulee.
Doughnuts, Mickey Waffles, Eggs Benedict and Bacha drip coffee for breakfast? Count us in. You’ll be happy to know that the Hollandaise sauce is self-service, so you can have as much of it as you want, or have it on everything.
We spotted Corned Beef Hash, which you can have with hash brown, sauteed button mushrooms, and scrambled eggs.
To cater to all preferences, there’s both pork and turkey bacon, and vegetable quiche too, you can pick whichever you like.
On the Asian menu, you’ll find assorted bao and steamed dim sum, vegetarian spring rolls, mee goreng, fried rice, and a personal favourite, chicken congee: there’s a plain option too, if you like.
Do note that Enchanted Summer Restaurant has table-service dinners, and there’s no entertainment at this restaurant.
Besides soft serve and free drinks, Deck 17 also has Pixar Market and Pizza Planet, a takeaway stall that’s got five different pizzas on the menu. Every one of these is made fresh behind the counter and kept extra warm under heat lamps.
We got four halves to share in the following flavours: Barbecue Chicken Pizza, Four Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni, and Magherita Pizza. If you’re concerned that the Four Cheese Pizza will be too pungent, fret not, because it really isn’t—even with gorgonzola, mozzerella, parmesan, and taleggio on a San Marzano tomato base.
There’s also a Plant-based Sausage Pizza, which we didn’t try. This has spinach, cremini and table mushrooms, the same tomato base, and parmesan plus mozzarella “cheese” too!
According to this Facebook post, Cosmic Kitchen in Discovery Reef has a separate kitchen and doesn’t serve or use pork, lard, and alcohol. While we didn’t see the signage that indicated the above, we did overhear the staff respond to guests’ queries about this.
That aside, the quick-service eatery dishes up Mediterranean fare in a build-your-own-meal concept. Opt for a wholemeal or regular pita pocket; otherwise, you can skip this and go for a bowl. On our visit, there was chicken or lamb kebab, beef kofte or sausage, and falafel for protein choices, turmeric rice with pine nuts, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, hummus, crumbled feta cheese, and tzatziki.
Our favs were the various dips and beef kofte; one of the beef sausages we got was pink inside and juicy, the other was bone dry and hard. But we appreciated how, unlike some other Mediterranean spots we’ve tried, the meats here were not overly salted or spiced.
At the point of writing, none of the dining options on board operate around the clock. So if you’re hunting down supper options, you’ll want to take note of Gramma Tala’s Kitchen, located in the Imagination Garden on Deck 10. Operating from 11am to 6pm, and 10pm to 12am, the menu is meant to be inspired by the “island flair of Moana”, with flavours from the Pacific and Asia.
It also runs on a build-your-own-bowl system, starting with a base carb of coconut rice or chicken rice. Then, there’s Hainanese chicken AKA the standard chicken rice, black pepper beef, Huli-Huli chicken, buttermilk fried chicken, Sichuan-braised tofu, and seasonal greens.
If you ask us, it feels a little like going for a black pepper beef plus chicken rice zi char supper, or Punggol nasi lemak at midnight.
Right opposite, with the same opening hours and concept, but different cuisine, is Mowgli’s Eatery. There’s no prize for guessing which classic Disney movie inspired this quick-service eatery, and if you’re a supper-goer who frequents Spize, this will be your cup of tea.
Think: butter chicken, Kerala fish curry, tandoori chicken, prata, pappadum, and garlic naan, plus aloo ghobib, raita and the usual accoutrements. We found the butter chicken more spicy than mildly sweet as we like it, but the pappadum with raita was a hit.
While you unwind at the Infinity Pool on Deck 18, you might just miss the inconspicuous corner of the Infinity Bar that serves up hot dogs with DIY toppings. Unlike the drinks at the bar, which you do have to pay for, these are free for all. And you can have as many of them as you want.
There are two options: chicken and beef, constantly grilled behind the counter. You can opt to have them with or without the bun, which is toasted fresh to order. We preferred the beef sausage, which we felt had a better savoury punch, so stick with the chicken if you
On to the toppings—you can pick from an assortment including crispy fried shallots, caramelised onions, sweet pickles, and even kimchi. Then, go ham on the sauces the likes of gochujang mayo, wasabi mayo, hoisin ketchup.
Prepare to be wowed at Hollywood Spotlight Club, where the entrance is itself a sight to behold. Think of it as stepping through a gilded, glimmering tunnel back to the era of Hollywood’s Golden Age, where you’ll be treated to live performances from Mickey and his friends.
Start with Porcini-spiced Ahi Tuna Sashimi, or a Classic Iceberg Wedge with smoked bacon lardons, and a Maytag blue cheese dressing.
While we were there, there were Thai Boat Noodles on the menu. Manage your expectations, however, because it’s no Thong Smith, but more Mama Creamy Tomyum—with much subtler levels of spice and sourness. To give them credit, it’s still a pretty palatable bowl of noods. We also had the Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto, dressed with toasted hazelnuts, sage, and leek. This wasn’t so much our cup of tea, but you can decide for yourself if it’s yours.
On the Disney Adventure cruise, there’s Animator’s Table, as well as Animator’s Palate: both of these offer similar dining experiences, where you can draw your own character on the provided placemat and watch it come to life on the digital frames that line the walls of these restaurants. Something important to note is that most of the main dining restaurants serve similar menus, and these will be switched around regularly. However, there are options aplenty to suit all preferences, and a Singapore special that you’ll find on this ship is Hainanese Chicken Rice.
We found the flavour of this to be legit, though the garlicky oomph is dialled down quite significantly in the rice; this was also quite severely compressed into a ball, which we felt made the rice quite mushy. We’ve no beef with the chicken though—this was well-poached, with a good bite and smooth to a fault.
On the starters front, we had a Dill and Meyer Lemon-marinated Shrimp, whose marinate was delightful, but was let down by the slightly fishy prawns. We did enjoy the Watermelon, Orange, Daikon Radish Salad, as well as the Carrot and Cilantro Soup, and Chilled Mango Soup too.
Where the miso-glazed Chilean sea bass and grilled salmon had delivered at previous meals, we found the Grilled Tuna Steak to be divisive. It’s undeniable that it was grilled perfectly, but we felt that it lacked seasoning. One of us enjoyed it with added salt and pepper, the other found it bland and unsupported by the black bean muneta, queso fresco, and roasted corn chipotle salsa.
For another taste of home, there’s Hong Kong Wonton, AKA wonton mee soup. We appreciated the thick cuts of tender charsiew, but wished there was an option to have this dry, with chilli.
If you’re craving BBT, head to Bewitching Bubbles & Boba at the Discovery Reef, where you can buy smoothies and bubble tea by Naisnow. Prices here start from USD7 (~S$8.91) for a Sea Witch Emerald Essence, which is a green juice of kale, apple, lemon and jasmine tea.
We tried the Sunken Treasure Mango Brew (USD7.75, ~S$9.87), made with mango puree, yogurt, oat popping boba, and blue spirulina, as well as the Mystic Tide Matcha (USD7.75, ~S$9.87)—essentially a matcha latte with what’s supposed to be brown sugar boba. We weren’t fans of the oat popping boba, and found the matcha too sweet; we also suspect they had not given us the brown sugar boba as advertised on the menu. Plus points, however, for the Ursula-coded underwater lair we had our drinks in.
There’s free Bacha coffee drip bags in your stateroom, as well as at breakfast and lunch, but if you’re looking for a serious shot of coffee with a side of cute, Tiana’s Bayou Lounge is one of the spots on the cruise which you can head to. Get a Cafe Latte (from USD3.50, ~S$4.46), and your cuppa comes with a printed Disney character on top! This New Orleans-inspired lounge serves vibes alongside its drinks, with live music, and the occasional trivia game too.
