Disney Cruise Line’s refreshed rotational dining menus no longer list the Lighter Note Offerings section, which had provided straightforward steak, chicken and salmon dinners with sides such as vegetables, rice or a baked potato.
The change arrived with menus introduced in May 2026, according to WDW News Today’s menu breakdown cited by Disney Dining. The updated format groups appetizers, soups and salads under “Small Plates,” while main courses appear under one “Entrees” heading.
Sirloin steak remains available, now as a regular entree with set sides. Roasted chicken has been removed from several menus, though it is listed as a regular entree at Lumiere’s, Triton’s, Royal Court and Royal Palace. Salmon has been removed from most menus; a baked salmon fillet with jasmine rice and bok choy appears on a first-night menu.
Options can differ by ship and restaurant. Guests reported the change on both the Disney Treasure and Disney Wish. One Disney Treasure guest said chicken and salmon needed to be requested the night before, while another reported being unable to get salmon on a recent Disney Wish sailing.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Disney’s planDisney panel has said salmon may still be requested, subject to availability and potentially advance notice. Travelers with dietary needs or a preference for simple meals may want to tell their serving team on the first night and review menus for their specific sailing in advance. Disney Cruise Line’s rotational dining system keeps the same serving team with guests as they move among dining rooms during the cruise.
