Dine in Style with the Captain's Gala Menu on the Disney Wonder


Every meal on a Disney Cruise Line ship is a great one, and all of the meals in the main dining rooms has a touch of fanciness to it. (Keep in mind that there is normally one main dining room that serves breakfast and lunch in a sit down style if you prefer that format over the quick-service pool side locations and/or the buffet.) There is one menu served in the main dining rooms for dinner that is a little more over the top than the others, and that is the Captain’s Gala Menu.

We enjoyed this menu on the final evening of the first of our last two sailings. Sadly we missed dinner on the last evening of our second sailing due to sea sickness that was made worse by pregnancy.

Today we have for you information about the delicious eats that we enjoyed that night.


We said this meal was fancy and the Oysters Rockefeller on the Half Shell from the appetizer list prove that. Buttery breadcrumbs top bacon, onions, spinach and oysters served on their shell. It was a delicious way to start the meal.

We also enjoyed the Lightly Breaded Baked Eggplant. If you’re an eggplant parmesan fan this is a dish for you. Eggplant coated in buttery, crispy bread crumbs served with a slightly sweet tomato sauce and topped with a bubbly ricotta and mozzarella.

We each enjoyed on entrée on this particular evening – the Fettuccine with Parmesan Crusted Chicken and the Roasted Red Snapper. The Fettuccine was served with peppers, mushrooms and a crispy on the outside, tender on the inside Parmesan crusted chicken. Yum! The Roasted Red Snapper was served skin on and was deliciously flaky. It was served with a saffron broth and a olive, potato, pepper and fennel ragout.

We finished the meal with two desserts, the Old Fashioned Apple Pie and the Chocolate Lava Cake. We LOVE apple pie and this one did not disappoint. A thick slice of sweet apple filling between flaky, buttery crust served in the best possible way, with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. And the Chocolate Lava Cake is a chocolate lovers’ dream. Rich chocolate cake topped with a generous portion of rich chocolate sauce. If you love chocolate you should not pass up this cake.

We really enjoyed this menu and think that you should too if you have the opportunity.

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
