Disney Treasure Restaurants: What Makes Them So Magical?
Are you wondering what makes Disney Treasure restaurants so special?
Dining on this magical cruise ship is an experience like no other. From interactive shows like in Worlds of Marvel to themed decor of Old Hollywood at 1923, every meal is packed with magic.
As a Florida local and Disney lover who spent 7 days on the Disney Treasure, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Disney Treasure restaurants—where to eat, what to order, and tips for making the most of your dining experience.
What is Disney’s Rotational Dining System?
One of the most unique features of Disney cruises is their rotational dining system. Here’s how it works:
A Different Restaurant Each Night
Each night, you’ll visit one of the ship’s themed restaurants. It’s like dining in a new world every evening.
Your Servers Travel With You
Your server follows you from restaurant to restaurant. They get to know your preferences, making every meal feel customized. Whether it’s remembering your favorite drink or your child’s allergy, they’ve got it covered.
Why It’s Awesome
Rotational dining takes the stress out of meal planning. You don’t have to think about where to eat next—it’s all organized for you, with plenty of variety to keep everyone excited.

Plaza de Coco Restaurant
Step into the world of Coco, where vibrant colors and festive music set the tone. On night one Miguel takes the stage with the town Mariachis to sing songs from the movie. It’s like having your own private concert!
Night two is based on Dia de Los Muertos with Abuelita, Mama Coco and the Rivera family singing beautiful ballads that tug at your heartstrings.
Remember to bring your camera! These performances are unforgettable, and your kids will love watching their favorite characters come to life.
1923 Restaurant
This elegant dining spot is a tribute to Walt Disney and the year the Walt Disney Studios was founded. It really takes you back to the golden age of Hollywood. It’s a tribute to the creativity, imagination, and unstoppable spirit that built the original Disney studio.
The decor is timeless, with vintage artwork and memorabilia that celebrate Disney’s early days. It felt nostalgic seeing early drawings from my favorite animated movies. The menu features upscale dishes, perfect for a quieter evening with the family.
Worlds of Marvel
Calling all superhero fans! This is where dining meets adventure. On night one you’ll watch Ant-Man and Wasp on the screens as they interact with diners. Kids love the interactive elements. They’ll be pressing buttons on the Quantum Core and helping save the day right from their seats.
On night two, Groot takes center stage, putting together a playlist for Rocket’s surprise party. While Groot works on his mix, kids and adults use the Quantum Core at their tables to answer trivia questions.
This was a surprise hit! My husband loved this even more than the kids. Watching him enthusiastically compete in the trivia was almost as entertaining as the show itself!
Allergy-Friendly Dining at Disney Treasure Restaurants
Disney does an excellent job accommodating food allergies. My son has a tree nut allergy. Every night, the staff asked about his meals for the next day. They cooked everything separately to ensure his safety.
If your child has allergies, let Disney know in advance when you book your cruise. Remind your server on the first night, and they’ll take care of the rest. Knowing your child can eat safely makes the trip so much more enjoyable.
Snack Stands and Grab-and-Go Options
Sometimes you need a quick bite between meals. Disney Treasure offers plenty of snack options:
- Goofy’s Grill or how I call it – the Chicken Tender Stand: Also serves burgers and hot dogs. Perfect for picky eaters.
- Donald’s Cantina Mexican Food Stand: My personal favorite. Try the carnitas bowl with rice—it’s like Chipotle at sea!
- Mickey’s BBQ Stand: Offers ribs, mac and cheese, brisket, and BBQ chicken. Not my top pick, but nice for variety.
- Daisy’s Pizza Stand: Open until 9 PM. A lifesaver for late-night cravings.
- Minnie’s Delights Ice Cream Stand: Endless soft-serve in all your favorite flavors.
- Marceline Market: Open for breakfast and lunch with tons of options, including giant crab legs. This is a buffet style offering food from around the world. They also had classic Mac and cheese and chicken tenders and fries.
- Hei Hei Cafe and Jade Cafe: features specialty coffees and teas. They put characters on the coffee and its sooooo cute! I got a different character every day. Make sure to ask for a punch card to get a free specialty coffee after your 5th purchase
Room Service:
Room service on the Disney Treasure is a game changer. It’s included in your cruise price, so don’t hesitate to use it. It’s available 24/7 for late-night snacks or breakfast in bed. Just don’t forget to tip your server!
One night, after all the restaurants had closed, my youngest wanted milk. We called room service, and within minutes, a fresh glass of milk arrived at our door. It was quick, easy, and stress-free.

If you’re looking for a little luxury and some adult-only time, Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté are two must-visit dining experiences on the Disney Treasure.
