Food, Glorious Food!

The Magic offers quite the dining experience. Here is a list of restaurants and their typical offerings, besides room service and the self-service drink station that is available 24/7 at no charge:

Breakfast
  • Topsiders - buffet (includes basics, plus usually a build-your-own omelet or pancakes station)
  • Parrot Cay - buffet* (includes basics, plus usually a build-your-own omelet or pancakes station)
  • Lumiere's - sit-down menu (very limited to typical egg or pancake platters)
(*On an assigned day, you get a character breakfast at Parrot Cay which is table service!)

Lunch
  • Topsiders - buffet (varies - Asian cuisine, seafood, Italian, Mexican, etc. with a "build-your own" station offering a particular customizable dish)
  • Parrot Cay - buffet (also varies daily)
  • Lumiere's - sit-down menu (everything from spaghetti to gourmet hamburgers)
Dinner* (location varies, depending on assigned rotation, but all menus remain the same throughout the ship, regardless of location - however, your server follows your rotation, as well as any bottles of wine you purchase onboard)
  • Lumiere's - the fanciest of the 3 dining rooms, with exquisite decor, including "enchanted rose" chandeliers.
  • Animator's Palette - the "artistic" dining room. It changes colors before your eyes, among other effects.
  • Parrot Cay - the most casual of the main dining rooms, it offers a tropical ambience.
(*Casual buffet dinner is available every night at Topsiders without an assigned time)

Counter Service (open from 11am - 11pm daily)
  • Goofy's Galley - ice cream, assorted deli salads and sandwiches, fresh fruit
  • Pluto's Dog House - hot dogs, hamburgers, tacos, fries, chicken strips
  • Pinocchio's Pizzeria - pizza!
  • The Cove Cafe - specialty coffee drinks (they do charge for these)
Special Dining
  • Palo - a special adults-only Italian restaurant that offers a stunning 180-degree view of the ocean on the top deck. They offer brunch, high tea, and dinner. Reservations are required, and a $10 per person surcharge applies. (I highly recommend booking reservations 75-90 days prior to disembarkation via the DCL website or phone number. If not, you can always "run the gauntlet" right after boarding, and hope you get a spot. )
  • Pirates IN the Caribbean Deck Buffet (only happens on the specified evening in conjunction with the themed deck party) - save room at dinner, because this swashbuckling bounty offers the best turkey legs, chili, and build-your-own crepes, in addition to a treasure chest of desserts! (However, do NOT miss your regular dinner on this night! There are surprises you won't want to miss!)
  • Dessert Buffet (around 10pm - midnight on a specified evening) - come see the chocolate sculptures and indulge in a vast array of desserts at Lumiere's.
Restaurant Locations
  • Lumiere's - Deck 3 Midship
  • Parrot Cay - Deck 3 Aft
  • Animator's Palette - Deck 4 Aft
  • Topsiders - Deck 9 Aft
  • Palo - Deck 10 Aft (Adults Only)
  • The Cove Cafe - Deck 9 Fore (Adults Only)
  • Pinocchio's Pizzeria, Pluto's Doghouse, Goofy's Galley - Deck 9 Aft (Outside)
  • 24-Hour Self-Service Drink Station - Deck 9 Aft (Outside)
Bon Appetit!
