A MAJOR Dining Change Just Hit Disney Cruise Line Ships, and You’re Gonna LOVE It!

There are many perks to going on a Disney Cruise Line vacation.

You’ve got pretty much everything, especially meals (minus signature dining), paid for in advance, so you can have as much food as you’d like. There are also opportunities on the ships for people of all ages to enjoy, which makes it a great choice for families of all sizes. However, there’s a change coming to Disney Cruises that’s about to make dining EASIER for parents with kids — Dine and Play is coming back starting NOW!

Disney’s Dine and Play service is only offered for the second seating of dining on each Disney Cruise ship, but it’s an option that allows children to participate in fun games and experiences while adults enjoy a more leisurely dining experience.

As of February 1st, Dine and Play has returned to the Disney Treasure and Disney Dream. On February 2nd, it will return to the Disney Fantasy and Disney Magic, and on February 3rd, it will return to the Disney Wonder and Disney Wish. It’s been a long time since this option has been available on the Disney Cruise Line, so this is GREAT news for parents!

If you’d like to participate in Dine and Play, take your child (aged 3-10, and make sure they are already registered at The Oceaneer Lab) to the front of the restaurant to meet the Youth Activities team between 9-9:15 PM for check-in. When it’s time, the Youth Activities directors will escort children to the Oceaneer Lab to have fun!

This is a great way for parents to enjoy a nice, relaxing meal while the little ones get to have some fun — what a win-win!
