When you sail on Disney Wish you are going to have a great many choices of where you will dine. From fine dining to fast food burgers, Disney Wish really does have it all.
When you want to step back in time and experience a sophisticated ambiance and some really good food then head to 1923 on Disney Wish.
1923 is one of three main dining restaurants on the Disney Wish Cruise ship.
In keeping with the tradition of dining on Disney ships, guests will rotate between all three dining rooms on the Wish.
These are:
- Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure
- 1923
- Worlds of Marvel
This is known as Rotational Dining and is unique to Disney Cruise Line.
Servers move with you each day giving them the opportunity to get to know your tastes and preferences so that they can serve you best.
Disney Wish 1923 Restaurant Overview
The new 1923 Restaurant on the Disney Wish is themed as a tribute to the ones who started it all – Walt Disney and his brother Roy.
The restaurant is located just off the Grand Hall on Deck 3. You will notice that one side is dedicated to Walt Disney and the other side to his brother Roy.
The theme is the Golden Age of animated filmmaking.
Why 1923?
The 1923 name comes from the year that The Walt Disney Company was founded by Walt and Roy.
As soon as you step through the beautiful glass doors you will see just what a beautiful and sophisticated space this is.
The design and atmosphere are reminiscent of Carthay Circle Restaurant in Disneyland.
The restaurant is divided into a series of rooms – giving it a very different feel to it than the huge space of the Arendelle Restaurant.
Unusually for a Disney cruise restaurant, there are large portholes – if you manage to get allocated one of these tables they are perhaps the best seats in the house.
Take some time to look around the restaurant. The doors are open all day and you can take a look around whenever you want. It is a real treat going around the restaurant just looking at all the design features.
1923 also serves breakfast and lunch.
Don’t overlook the opportunities to dine outside of dinner time as you may find that this is one of the most enjoyable things you experience on the cruise.
You can escape the chaos of Marceline Market for breakfast and lunch and instead experience the peace and quiet of 1923!
Take some time to look at the display cabinets. These contain more than 1,000 drawings, props, and artifacts. Some of the featured movies include Alice in Wonderland, Tangled, and Beauty and the Beast.
Disney Wish 1923 Menu
The menu is inspired by the diverse cultures and influences of California. As you look through the menu you will see Asian, European, and South American cuisines.
