On board the Disney Wish, one of Disney Cruise Line's beautiful cruise ships, you will find three rotational dining restaurants: Worlds of Marvel, 1923, and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure. This blog post will cover the culinary experiences you can enjoy in Arendelle. From embarkation lunch and Olaf's Royal Picnic to the celebration of Anna and Kristoff's engagement during a spectacular dinner, you will have a splendid time in the Kingdom of Arendelle! Join me as I invite you for a glimpse into the royal celebrations.
Now, let us dive into the different menu items you can enjoy!
Dinner
Get ready for a feast fit for royalty at Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure! Join in on the celebration of Queen Anna and Kristoff's engagement, with the legendary Oaken taking charge as the engagement party planner. You know Oaken, Mr. Yoo-Hoo! Big Summer Blowout! During this royal celebration, you will enjoy a menu curated by Oaken, showcasing the best of Nordic flavors with a modern twist. From mouthwatering seafood to rustic game dishes, it is a culinary journey inspired by the Frozen story, and, of course, there is plenty of chocolate for dessert - a must for any party for Queen Anna!
The dining tables are strategically placed around a center stage where the Frozen magic comes to life! During dinner, Elsa's icy touch is recreated with a touch of Disney magic, while the panoramic windows transform from ocean views to the enchanting lights of the Aurora Borealis. As you enjoy your dinner, you will be dazzled by live performances from "local" musicians playing your favorite Frozen tunes. You may even be visited by some of your favorite Frozen characters as they go from table to table, thanking you for joining them on this special evening!
The best part of the experience is that Olaf will be there as well, cracking jokes and interacting with you throughout the meal! Towards the end of dinner, there are sing-alongs and a grand finale that will have everyone singing and dancing. Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure was our favorite dining experience aboard the Disney Wish, and if you are a fan of Frozen, you will love it too!

What is Rotational Dining?
Rotational Dining is Disney Cruise Line's clever strategy to ensure each guest enjoys the diverse culinary experiences offered by three themed dining venues onboard. Accessible through the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App, your restaurant schedule and table number are conveniently provided upon boarding. Each night, you and your companions, along with the dedicated servers, seamlessly transition to a different restaurant - on the Disney Wish, these are Worlds of Marvel, 1923, and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure.
Dinner options include 5:45 PM (Main Seating) and 8:15 PM (Second Seating), with the app informing you of your assigned time. When booking your cruise, you can choose your seating preference. This structured yet flexible approach ensures a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience for all guests aboard the Disney Wish. All three rotational dining experiences are included in your cruise fare.

What if I have a Special Dietary Restriction / Food Allergies?
Disney Cruise Line is dedicated to accommodating special dietary needs or food allergies, providing a variety of options such as gluten-free, vegetarian, no-sugar-added, dairy-free, and lighter-note offerings on their table-service restaurant menus. Moreover, guests can make additional requests at no extra charge through the Special Requests application under My Reservations, with submissions accepted up to 3 days before embarkation.
For specific dietary needs like kosher or halal meals, it is advisable to submit requests at least five weeks before sailing, and for Kosher for Passover meals, requests should be made ten weeks in advance. Disney Cruise Line prioritizes creating a diverse and inclusive dining experience for all guests.
Furthermore, Disney makes every effort to source, prepare, and handle food with care to avoid introducing named allergens into your menu choices. Despite their precautions to prevent cross-contact, please note that they lack separate allergy-friendly kitchens and cannot guarantee menu items are entirely free of allergens.

Embarkation Day Lunch
On our embarkation day, Arendelle was open for lunch from 11 am until 2 pm. This was great for us because, after the rush of getting to the port on time and the excitement of finally being on board, it was nice to sit down at a nice restaurant and enjoy a peaceful meal. Although the buffet, Marceline Market, and the Festival of Foods were open, we knew a majority of the people boarding would make their way up there, so we chose the calmer experience!
