What Time Is Second Dining On Disney Cruise?

The Disney Cruise Line offers two dining times for dinner each night, with the first starting between 5:45 PM and 6:15 PM and the second starting between 8:15 PM and 9:00 PM. These times vary based on the itinerary, but guests are assigned to one of these seating times for the entirety of their sailing. The second dinner slot typically starts at 8 pm on cruises in the Western Hemisphere and 8:30 pm in Europe.

For European sailings, the Main Seating begins at 5:45 PM, which is the most popular time and gets booked up. Early or main dining is around 5:45, and second or late dining is usually around 8:15, depending on your cruise. You can choose your dining time when booking, as Disney cruises offer an array of dining experiences and restaurants for every palate.

The dining rotation and dining times can be found on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once onboard and printed on your Key to the World cards. Broadway-quality shows begin at 6:00 p.m., and deck parties typically start after 10:00 p.m. For sailings originating from U.S. and Canadian ports, seatings are typically at 5:45 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. For sailings originating in Europe, seatings are typically at 5:45 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Two standard dining times are offered each day: earlier dinner is served at 5:45 pm, while later seating is at 8:15 pm. These times may vary depending on the cruise. If you are assigned the second seating, you can attend the early or main dining at 5:45, and second or late dining at 8:15, depending on your cruise.

In summary, the Disney Cruise Line offers two dining times for dinner each night, with the first starting between 5:45 PM and 6:15 PM and the second starting at 8:15 PM. Dining seating times and show schedules are planned to provide ample time for guests to enjoy their favorite dining experiences.

What time is breakfast on a Disney cruise?

All Disney Cruise Line ships have a buffet-style restaurant, called Cabanas (on the Magic, Wonder, Dream, and Fantasy) or Marceline Market (on the Wish and the upcoming Treasure). The buffet restaurants serve breakfast every on every sailing, other than on embarkation day. Hours may vary depending on whether the ship is at sea or in port, but typical hours for breakfast are from about 7:00 a.m. until about 10:30 a.m. See your onboard navigator app for the specifics of your sailing.

The photos below were taken on eight different sailings from 2020-2023 on the Magic, Dream, Fantasy, and Wish, as well as from a 2019 sailing on the Wonder. There is almost shockingly little variation in the breakfast buffet spread from day to day, year to year, and ship to ship. You might find slightly different egg preparations or pastry flavors, but overall there is great consistency in the DCL breakfast buffet menus across the fleet and over time. The main points of difference might be in something like varied boxed cereals on sailings departing out of non-U.S. ports or speciality items added for holidays. The one exception to this is a few offerings on the Wish are elevated from the other ships; these are indicated in photo captions.

The vast majority of the shipboard breakfast foods are geared to the American and Northern European palate, plus a handful of Asian basics.

Can I change my dining time on Disney cruise?

If you would like to change your dining time, you can do so on the Disney Cruise Line website. Look for the heading “Already Booked,” then click “My Reservations.” You can change to main dining if available or join the waitlist. You can also inquire onboard about switching to earlier dining. Dining changes take place in the French Quarter Lounge on embarkation day.

If any other questions wind up on your plate as you continue planning, please stop by planDisney again. I am always happy to help Guests plan the vacation of their dreams.

What time is your room ready on a Disney cruise?

There’s nothing quite like stepping aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship and setting off for adventure. Staterooms are typically ready around 1:30 p.m. on the day of your voyage. Luggage may not arrive for a few hours afterward, so I recommend that you bring a swimsuit and coverup in a carry-on bag if you’d like to enjoy the pools onboard shortly after boarding. My family has a tradition of enjoying lunch and then grabbing a soft-serve ice cream cone poolside.

For lunch, you can find a delicious buffet meal or be treated to excellent service at one of the main dining restaurants onboard. Check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app after boarding the ship to see which restaurant will be opening its doors for lunch and to look over the menu. After lunch, there are plenty of activities to enjoy and those too will be listed on the activity schedule within the app. You’ll find tours of the spa (often with exciting raffles and giveaways) and open houses offered in the youth activity spaces. If you have little ones, this is the perfect time to check out these areas as a family and meet the amazing Crew Members that will be interacting with the kids all cruise long.

The entertainment and activities offered onboard are a huge hit for my sailing crew and I hope it’s the same for your travel group. Have a splendid sailing and please cruise our way again at planDisney if you have more questions. It’s a pleasure to help.

Is it better to do an early or late dining on Disney cruise?

In addition, an early dinner would shorten your time on Castaway Cay. We boarded the ship in the last 15 minutes and still had time to play on the main pool deck. If we had early dinner, we would have missed some activities, such as snorkeling on Disney’s private island.

If you have older kids, late dinner is the way to go. If they are hungry in the late afternoon, grab something from the quick service before it closes or order free room service to carry over till the big meal.

Lastly, we loved the option of the early show. We could stay on the pool deck, shower, and make it in time. We also would split if some didn’t want the show, then they could keep playing while others attended it. Finally, we appreciated that our dinner crew wasn’t rushed to get us out before the next wave of guests came in for dinner.
