Is all food free on Disney Cruise?

All of your meals are included in the cost of your cruise. Each night, you'll rotate through the three main restaurants onboard, and with Disney's Rotational Dining, even your dining service team rotates with you. So, you'll keep the same dining servers each night, no matter which restaurant you're enjoying.

Yes, but there is an alcohol limit. Let me repeat that: the wine or champagne you can bring MUST be in your carry-on bags. Additionally, any alcohol you bring on the cruise can't be enjoyed in any lounge or public areas. So, you need to plan to drink it in your stateroom or on your balcony.

When it comes to water, you have a bunch of options during your Disney Cruise! You can certainly bring your own bottled water onboard.
