By far our favorite set of quick service restaurants on a Disney Cruise, Mickey’s Festival of Foods includes a variety of food options on the pool deck.

Foods at these counters are all included in your Disney Cruise package.

Offering quick service buffet for meals throughout the day, there are food stations available for breakfast and lunch and table service for dinner.
