Yes, lunch is included in your cruise fare and is available at various locations throughout the ship. On a Disney Cruise in 2026, you can enjoy a full buffet at Cabanas (or Marceline Market on newer ships), which features a rotating menu of seafood, salads, and international hot dishes. For a more casual meal, the pool deck offers "grab-and-go" stations serving burgers, chicken tenders, pizza, and fresh fruit. If you are at Disney’s private islands, Castaway Cay or Lookout Cay, a complimentary BBQ lunch is served on the beach. While most lunch options are free, there are upcharge "Adult-Only" brunch experiences at specialty restaurants like Palo, which require a reservation and an additional fee. Soft-serve ice cream and non-alcoholic sodas at the beverage stations are also included throughout the day.
