Most LOVED & HATED Disney Cruise Food (2026 Dining Guide)
Is the food on a Disney Cruise actually worth the hype? 🚢 In 2026, the dining scene across the fleet—from the classic Disney Magic to the brand-new Disney Destiny—is more divisive than ever. We’re ranking the most legendary “must-eats” against the dishes that passengers actually hate.
We dive into the Mickey Churro Waffles and the famous Black Truffle Pasta Purseiettes that some guests order as a triple entree! We also cover the consistent winners like those crispy chicken tenders, the “secret” Mickey Bars not listed on any menu, and why you should never skip the Chocolate Soufflé. Plus, we share the foods that you absolutely want to avoid!

You definitely missed the room service buffalo chicken wings and the Palo, grape and Gorgonzola pizza two of the best things on DCL!
Deep Fried Brie on the classic ships and the Chicken Parm at Palo Brunch.
Was a little disappointed with the BBQ on the Wish. I do love the various ice cream sundaes at dinner, but you can't beat a Mickey Bar.
We overall enjoy the food on Disney. The Mickey Bars are the best! I started ordering them as dessert after dinner and other diners were looking at me with envy. 🙂
On the not so good side, I had pancakes in the main dining room for breakfast and they were inedible. Hands down the worst I’ve ever had.
Plenty of food to select from.
Does churros 😅 life changing!!🎉
Well I will be winning the lotto tonight so I will let you know
Something the wife and I do. We brings several ziplock bags. We order several chicken tenders via room service that night. Keep them in the cooler and in the morning, put them in the ziplocks when you go home. Great snacks in your carry on.
I love the shrimp and crab legs on embarkation day!
I miss the pretzels and especially the cream cheese-filled pretzels.
The Marceline market coffee is the worst – room service is actually much better. At least that was true on the Treasure – maybe something was wrong with their coffee machine? The specialty coffee is always very good.
Least favorite: Any type of cheesecake. On any ship, no matter what they call it, Disney cheesecake is terrible!
I'm usually first in line in the morning at Cove Cafe for a flat white for my wife and an Americano, straight up for me. I enjoy my Americano on the veranda while wife gets ready.
The eggs Benedict at Palo brunch are excellent.
Thank you for this video. Now I know what to get and what not to get on my next Disney Cruise on the Dream in Europe. But do these items come up for the European cruises or the Singapore cruises? Let me know thanks. I did my first Pirate Night on the Fantasy in the Mediterranean, unfortunately no fireworks but it was a fun experience.
We loved the ribeyes on Castaway Cay. Burgers were tasty too.!
Even if you don’t see the churro waffles at Marceline Market, u can ask a waiter for it and somehow they magically appear!
