Parrot Cay had it during lunch. That's the only place I ever saw it.

I really wouldn't get excited about the sushi. It tastes like it's been prepared way in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a while. The prepared sushi sitting in the Sunshine Seasons refrigerated cases tastes fresher than the stuff on the Wonder and Magic.  

I feel the Magic with every visit ❤️

Yes I read that it was there in 2009 a passenger from one of the ships had a photo but said the rice was tough. Too firm maybe.

we had a seafood buffet with sushi on the very last sea day on the dover to barcelona repo cruise my daughter is a massive sushi fan but one bite was enough for her, the rice was not cooked properly and hard it was disappointing to say the least

They have a fairly large table with sushi at the buffet up top for one of the days, and it is pretty, but not very good. Rice not properly prepared, vegetables not freshly sliced, spices are dribbled on rather than marinated into the fish. One piece will be enough. Too bad, we were really looking forward to sushi on our cruise.  

Does anyone know how the sushi is on Carnival. I guess they have it everyday. Hopefully its better.

Funny that it wasn't prepared or cooked properly (the rice). You would think that having lost of asians in the crew, someone in the kitchen would have noticed something wasn't right! Maybe the rice got dried out druing storage, that might explain the "tough rice". Too bad, I like the veggie rolls as a nice appetizer with ginger strips and the "sauce" seems like it is soya sauce, but maybe something else. Oh well, hopefully the other food during a seafood lunch will be okay. Luvstocruise aka Dan

Add another vote "no" for the sushi - for the reasons previously cited - but I cannot think of any other seafood item that I did not like! I had the sushi in Topsiders one day during the lunch buffet and it just wasn't that great. However, I don't think that's indicative of all of the seafood - all of the shrimp, crab, lobster, and other fish-meals that I've had were really great.

We were really disappointed in the sushi on our last cruise too!

We just returned from 11 nights on the Magic. Our last day at sea - top sider had Sushi and it was fabulous. They were rolling it right in front of us.

We had it yesterday for lunch on the Wonder. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still pretty good.  

• Sep 14, 2014

Most reviews claimed rice was undercooked. Some felt a local gas station had better. Does anyone know if the Magic serves Sushi still? We never found it in 2010. When and where did we miss it?

The Ultimate Guide To The BEST Sushi in Disney World

By Kim LaPaglia Leave a Comment

Are you a sushi fan? When planning a trip to Disney World, sushi probably isn’t the first food that comes to mind. However, you’ll find much more than typical theme park food on your next Disney vacation.

You can order sushi at various restaurants including: California Grill , Kona Island Sushi Bar , Katsura Grill , Morimoto Asia , and Kimonos .

You may find pre-packaged sushi at Sunshine Seasons and grab-and-go sections in food courts and resort Quick Service locations. During the holiday season and at other EPCOT festivals, look for sushi at the marketplace booths.

So, let’s dig in to your best sushi options at Walt Disney World .

California Grill

California Grill atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort boasts memorable views and market-inspired menus .

The sushi here is prepackaged but it’s still pretty good .

Kimonos at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel offers traditional Japanese sushi and cuisine in a contemporary atmosphere. The sushi is definitely the biggest draw of Kimonos , but they also offer soups, salads, and several other appetizers and small plates.

Polly Lolly Roll

The Polly Lolly Roll is striking in its presentation and generous in its portion . This stunning dish features fried soft shelled crab, shrimp tempura and crawfish tails plated with grilled asparagus, chives, a spicy mayo, and garnished with more than a sprinkle tobiko (fish eggs). Seriously, it’s HUGE. Even better, it is really good.

Splitsville luxury lanes.

Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Disney Springs has more than just bowling, they also have a wide assortment of food, like their hand-rolled sushi!

Golden Spider Roll

In fact, the sushi rolls are a crowd favorite menu option for us and other guests. We suggest the Golden Spider Roll . This roll features tempura-fried soft-shell crab, cucumber, and avocado wrapped in soy paper and sushi rice topped with diced mango, honey wasabi, eel sauce, and micro greens. This dish is not only gorgeous but also fresh and delicious !

Read our past reviews of the sushi rolls here!

Takumi-Tei is a signature restaurant in EPCOT’s Japan pavilion. This place is very pricey but we’ve eaten quite possibly one of the BEST plates of sushi ever here.

The pieces of nigiri here were on another level. For an extra-special splurge, consider the Chef’s Table Experience .

REVIEW: Come With Us to EPCOT’s Hidden (and Pricey!) Restaurant

You’ll find Teppan Edo in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion, on the second floor of the Mitsukoshi Department Store building. Because Teppan Edo is a Teppanyaki restaurant (your food is prepared in front of you), the tables are set up family-style around a large grill . Each table has its own personal chef that will be cooking and entertaining you throughout the meal.

Volcano Roll

There are a few different menu offerings that don’t require the grill and are prepared in the back of the house, like the appetizers and sushi. We love the Volcano Roll !

REVIEW: One Reason You Might SKIP a Near-Perfect EPCOT Restaurant

And a NEW restaurant is coming to EPCOT as well. Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya   will be opening this summer! Disney has shared some of the menu items, and in addition to a full menu filled with Japanese cuisine like  sushi  and  teppan items , there will be an  open sushi bar and grill .

The restaurant will be on the second floor of the Japan Pavilion , and offer great views of EPCOT’s fireworks. The restaurant will bring the “essence of Japan’s seasonal festivals,”  and each month there will be a new celebration.

From pre-packaged sushi at Quick Service Restaurants to beautiful sushi presentations at Table Service spots, Walt Disney World will surprise sushi fans with a variety of delectable menu items !

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya Review- NEW EPCOT Restaurant

Morimoto Asia and Takumi Tei have some new competition at Walt Disney World with the arrival of Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya which is now open at EPCOT at Walt Disney World. The options for upscale Japanese table service dining at Walt Disney World grew with the soft opening of Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya which replaced the former Tokyo Dining option at EPCOT.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya started serving Epcot guests recently in a soft opening phase before its official opening on August 30, 2023. If the first few days of operation indicate anything, this place presents many positives for guests looking for upscale table service dining at Epcot.

I love Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs. Morimoto serves as my current favorite restaurant at Walt Disney World. Comparison between Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya and Morimoto Asia ran through my head the entire time we dined during the first day of the soft opening of this new restaurant concept. During my dining experience, I kept comparing Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya to Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs. Some of those comparisons might be unfair. Thus, we felt the need to place this disclaimer.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya – The Basics

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya provides guests with various Japanese cuisine options. As implied in the restaurant name, this restaurant focuses on an “Izakaya” experience.

The Japanese term Izakaya references a style of dining that focuses on staying to enjoy company, beverages, and shared food. Izakaya-style restaurants differ from a bar since guests remain seated. Also, the emphasis of the experience focuses on shared food. Yes, this shared food pairs with alcoholic beverages creating the izakaya experience.

As a result, most of the menu items are intended to be shared with a group. Izakaya dining happens best with a larger group. Most izakaya restaurants serve a general mix of drinks and food. However, these styles of restaurants often have a specialty item or two. The menu at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya contains many items. However, based on Walt Disney World’s promotion of this restaurant, we suspect the large “Boat” and Bridge” sushi and sashimi entrees, along with the Japanese savory pancake, okonomiyaki, might become the signature dishes here.

For example, the Walt Disney World website describes Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya like this, “Enjoy an array of tantalizing dishes crafted with the finest ingredients, reflecting the flavors of each season. Sushi lovers will marvel at a first-hand look at sushi being made behind the counter.

For an authentic izakaya experience, select from a variety of mouthwatering izakaya-style delicacies, including savory skewers, crispy tempura, succulent sushi rolls, and hearty okonomiyaki.”

Shiki-Sai: Sushi-Izakaya offers plenty of seating. A bar area also resides in the center area of this restaurant. From this bar, guests can view some of the sushi dishes being prepared.

This table service option targets larger groups for a full dining experience. The bar area offers an excellent place to enjoy drinks and a few appetizers.

How to Get Reservations at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya uses Walt Disney World My Disney Experience for reservations. Also, you can call the Disney Dining phone reservation service at 1-407-939-5277. However, we recommend using the My Disney Experience system on your mobile device or computer to make reservations.

Reservations open 60 days in advance, starting officially at 6:00 a.m. Florida time. However, at this point, we are still determining the demand for advance dining reservations here. Thus, the need to be ready 60 days in advance may be less than higher in-demand table service options.

Like Tokyo Dining in this location before, all the seating is indoors. Some of the seating overlooks the lagoon area. If you are lucky enough to get one of these tables near closing time at Epcot, you can view the spectacular nighttime lagoon and fireworks show . The tables and chairs provide a comfortable place to enjoy a meal no matter where you sit.

Atmosphere at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya

We can only make an educated guess regarding the eventual daily atmosphere here based on our experience at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya. On the first day of the soft opening, very few people were seated. Also, due to that, the place remained quieter than we would expect for this style of restaurant. Still, when some signature items arrived at the table, some pomp and circumstance accompanied the arrival.

Also, when guests move to their table from the check-in stand, a mini celebration occurs to create a positive atmosphere at this izakaya restaurant. We suspect that, on a busy evening at Epcot, a far livelier dining experience will occur.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya might not be the best choice for those looking for a quiet romantic dinner. Fortunately, Epcot offers several other excellent table-service dining options for a romantic date.

The cast members at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya enhance the atmosphere. Most cast members working at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya appear to be national speakers of Japanese. Also, cast members' knowledge of Japanese culture shined through during our dining experience.

Many aspects of Japanese culture can be seen during a dining experience here. The Japanese experience at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya involves more than just the food. The dining experience here involves pleasant table service dining with the opportunity to learn about Japanese culture.

Operating Hours and Advance Dining Reservations

Guests can find this restaurant on the second floor of the Japan pavilion at Epcot. Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya serves lunch and dinner. The operating hours run from noon to 9:00 p.m.

We visited on the first day of operation for lunch. The procedure currently involves walking up to the restaurant to get a call-back for the dining opportunity. Until August 28, this will be the procedure here, according to cast members. If you desire to dine here before August 28, you will need to follow this process.

Cast members tell us that this system may be adjusted. Still, the walk-up procedure for dining here will be a standard pattern until August 28. If you want to dine here on August 28 or later, you should utilize the My Disney Experience to make an advance dining reservation.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya – The Menu

The substantial menu comes with an attractive hardcover showing off the four seasons of Japan. Since the restaurant's theme revolves around the four different seasons, this menu cover design makes sense. Some aspects of this restaurant change based on the season being celebrated.

As Disney stated when announcing this restaurant in May, “You’ll be able to experience the essence of Japan’s seasonal festivals, where each month brings a new celebration to your table. From hanging tanzaku to celebrate Tanabata in July to savoring moon-viewing dumplings in September, a cultural representative from Japan will guide you through each unique festival experience, one bite at a time. The atmosphere also embraces the festivals of Japan, with the atmosphere featuring beautiful, hand painted artwork and lanterns highlighting some of the natural wonders that Japan offers as well. Each and every visit is designed to create unforgettable memories that capture the spirit of Japan’s vibrant seasonal festivities.”

The menu at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya might overwhelm some guests. If you need help deciding what to order with so many choices, the menu here might present an issue. At least from our experience, the staff at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya worked very well, showing patience with our inability to decide what to order.

Choices, Choices, Choices

The menu presents guests with several extravagant Japanese dishes. However, the menu contains dining options that even the most particular diner will enjoy. For example, the menu offerings include starters, chef’s specials, noodle bowls, sushi, and izakaya classics. We think that the bigger problem at this Japanese table service restaurant revolves around deciding what to eat.

Yes, the izakaya-style dining lends towards sharing food. Still, decisions must be made. Most people will not want to order everything, right?

In addition, in izakaya style, the dishes arrive at your table as they are prepared. In other words, something that might be an appetizer in your mind could arrive after an entrée. During our experience, we had this happen.

Fortunately, the izakaya food items come designed for sharing. As a result, those opposed to sharing food at restaurants will dislike Shiki-Sai- Sushi Izakaya. The orders arriving from the kitchen in a non-traditional United States dining pattern could stress out some guests. For your planning, expect all items to be intended for sharing, whether listed as a starter or entrée.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya Dining Experience

When you arrive at your table, you will notice some specially branded chopsticks waiting for you. We appreciate this touch.

Also, before your meal begins, you will be presented with a specially wrapped oshibori. An oshibori is offered to guests dining before meals to clean their hands.

You will be asked if you would like a fork or other utensils, depending on the items you order. During our experience, we went with a fork and chopsticks.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya Dining Review

Since our group could not possibly eat everything during a recent visit, we focused on items Walt Disney World promoted before the opening. Also, with this being the day that two of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival booths open, some of us had already consumed a significant amount of food.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya Beverages

We should mention the beverages here before looking at some of the food. This restaurant offers an extensive list of beers, sake, specialty cocktails, wines, and Japanese craft spirits. Along with that, some interesting non-alcoholic beverages can be found on the menu.

One of us ordered the Gari Gari Soda non-alcoholic beverage. This cost $12. The menu description reads, “Soda with Japanese ice popsicle.” This drink makes a nice change of pace. We thought the popsicle tasted good. Still, we have concerns about the potential mess at a table service restaurant for those ordering this. For those desiring a creative, non-traditional drink, this works nicely. The soda tasted like an Asian version of Sprite.

Vegetable Okonomiyaki – $25.00

One of the menu items Walt Disney World heavily promoted before this restaurant opened was the Okonomiyaki entrée. An okonomiyaki is a savory-style Japanese pancake. When we write savory, we mean savory. No syrup should be used for this pancake.

The promoted version of the okonomiyaki includes bacon. We ordered the vegetable version. The standard okonomiyaki costs $3 more.

The Vegetable Okonomiyaki consists of vegetables, ginger, and a traditional tangy sauce. The savory-style pancake uses flour, eggs, water, and some stock as a base. After that, okonomiyaki traditionally consists of a filling of cabbage and meat. Of course, we choose vegetables. Once prepared, the okonomiyaki receives a topping of tangy okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, some seaweed, bonito flakes, and pickled ginger.

Though the price point for such a simpler style dish concerns us, we enjoyed this entrée. In fact, some of us thought it was the best menu item we ordered.

We found ourselves surprised by the quality of this dish. The nature of the tangy sauce dominated the other ingredients at times. After speaking with one of the managers, she explained the why and how of those flavor combinations. Even without the bacon, we found this a satisfying entrée.

Though a more straightforward dish, the combination of flavors earns respect. In addition, the portion could be shared. Once again, the Izakaya-style menu leans towards sharing the food.

Kara-age Chicken – $12.00

Another menu item promoted by Walt Disney World was the Kara-age Chicken. This common Japanese appetizer consists of Japanese-style fried chicken flavored with garlic and ginger. This usually comes served with lemon. All our group enjoyed this chicken starter. We found the preparation and overall chicken quality better than similar appetizers. However, the price point of four or five pieces of chicken for $12 might cause guests to feel overcharged. Still, for this izakaya experience, the Kara-age Chicken fits nicely on this menu.

Ishiyaki-Sukiyaki Rice – $28.00

At this point, comparisons to Morimoto Asia become inevitable. Our group ordered the Ishiyaki-Sukiyaki Rice. The comparison to Iron Chef Morimoto's signature dish, the Buri-Bop, became obvious all around. This rice dish contains grilled beef strips with spinach and rice in a sweet garlic sauce.

Like the Buri-Bop at Morimoto Asia, this entrée is cooked in a hot stone bowl table side by your server. Our server performed well preparing this dish. He then split the entrée among our group. Once again, the izakaya nature of this restaurant, with an overall theme of shared food, should be considered when ordering this.

The beef tasted excellent. However, we would pay more for the Buri-Bop at Morimoto Asia. Still, the Ishiyaki-Sukiyaki Rice brings good flavor. We pondered if this price point was too high. However, you do get to experience tableside cooking with this entrée. Also, based on the nature of this dish, you should expect this one to arrive at your table quickly since your server makes it. If you want to enjoy other food before an entrée like this, you should select another entrée for your group.

The Bridge at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya -$100

In fairness, this entrée goes by another name. The menu calls this bridge presentation – Hashi. The Hashi costs $100 and is supposed to feed two to four people. We feel it would serve three to four people easily. The combination of sushi and sashimi (with other items) comes on a plastic bridge for presentation purposes. The menu description for the Hashi reads, “Bridge presentation featuring an assortment of sushi and sashimi.”

If you want to be extravagant, you can order a similar entrée containing more sushi and sashimi with a “boat presentation” for $300. Based on seeing the boat version and the bridge version, we thought the bridge made a safer choice. Most people who ordered the bridge on the opening day felt it was overpriced. In contrast, we thought the bridge was expensive but not overpriced for the quality of sushi and sashimi received.

This bridge of sushi and sashimi comes with all types of these items. The Shiki-Sai menu leaves off specifics and the additional items with the Hashi. We suspect that this was done to allow changes and the use of better seasonal options.

During our visit, we found the tuna and salmon options were excellent in terms of flavor and preparation. The shrimp did not amaze us in terms of taste. However, it balanced nicely with the rest of the sushi and sashimi.

Even the saltwater-seared eel tastes good with his Hashi. One of our group members earns an indisputable reputation as a very particular diner. We expected him to be averse to many of this bridge's “fishy” items. However, he enjoyed the eel and octopus with the entrée. If you want to visit Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya with concerns about picky eaters, this might work as something to share. Of course, the texture issues will cause struggles.

Of all the food on this bridge, we found only the cucumber sushi roll lacking an excellent taste and texture. Poor quality and flavor should not hinder anyone from enjoying this Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya meal. Still, if someone in your group faces texture issues when dining, expect to overcome that. However, we were successful with our picky eater.

Compared to Morimoto Asia, we thought the sushi and sashimi at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya tasted of equal quality. This surprised us. If your group loves sushi, this restaurant deserves consideration during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya Conclusion

The addition of Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya enhances the more upscale table service dining options at Walt Disney World Resort. The Japan pavilion at Epcot already has Takumi-Tei. However, Takumi-Tei presents guests with a far more upscale dining experience. As you might expect, that fabulous dining experience starts at $150 per person. Also, Takumi-Tei serves dinner and not lunch.

If you are looking for authentic Japanese cuisine at a lower price per person, Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya fits the bill. Also, with food reaching the quality of Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs, this place offers an excellent dining experience.

Sure, we want to express concerns that many guests visiting Epcot will not wish to order such extravagant entrees at these higher price points. However, this makes a good option if Takumi-Tei falls outside your dining budget.

Another thing to consider would be treating this place as an option for drinks and appetizers. Though too early to tell, the bar area could become very popular for that. Also, after the rush of excitement for this new restaurant opening, the demand for reservations may drop, allowing guests to enjoy a relaxing dining experience without so much advanced planning.

Though we love Morimoto Asia, we found the experience at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya positive. If you desire this style of cuisine, we feel comfortable recommending this place.

I've been looking over the menus and can't seem to find sushi on any of them. My kids LOVE sushi - does anyone know if Cabana's buffet offers sushi? Thanks!

In a word - YES . :cool:

On the Dream we found it on the buffet. Not bad.

Was it good on the Fantasy? Hard to read your yes......one way or the other.... Understand its a cruise ship......

On the Dream it was good. Much better than supermarket sushi, not as delicate as a real top end product. Very satisfying.

Thanks! This our first on Disney but the other CL we have been on actually had a dedicated Sushi bar and it really good.

Disney Eats: New Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya Opening at EPCOT This Summer

Published: May 9, 2023

Foodies know that one of the best places to explore a variety of global cuisines is at EPCOT, which will soon be home to a new location at the Japan pavilion –  Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya . This table-service restaurant will offer a festive dining experience in a sharable Izakaya-style for you to create memories and good times through flavors. 

Here, you’ll be able to experience the essence of Japan’s seasonal festivals, where each month brings a new celebration to your table. From hanging  tanzaku  to celebrate Tanabata in July to savoring moon-viewing dumplings in September, a cultural representative from Japan will guide you through each unique festival experience, one bite at a time. The atmosphere also embraces the festivals of Japan, with the atmosphere featuring beautiful, hand painted artwork and lanterns highlighting some of the natural wonders that Japan offers as well. Each and every visit is designed to create unforgettable memories that capture the spirit of Japan’s vibrant seasonal festivities.

In addition to a full menu filled with mouthwatering Japanese delights like sushi and teppan items, there will be an open sushi bar and grill. Located on the second floor of the Japan pavilion, Shiki-Sai offers stunning views of EPCOT, the World Showcase Lagoon, and, of course, fireworks! 

Sushi lovers will marvel at the first-hand look at sushi being made right before their eyes by the chefs when sitting at the sushi bar. This unique spot provides a can’t-miss dining experience along with a magnificent trellis inspired by the roof of the Phoenix Hall in Kyoto that will mesmerize your eyes while the food captivates your taste buds. 

Speaking of taste buds, let’s take a look at some of the dishes that will be served up at Shiki-Sai.

If you fancy yourself a sushi aficionado or you’re looking to expand your palate to a new bite, this menu has no shortage of delicious bites for you to try. Some highlights from the sushi bar include the  Kobore Sushi ,  Tokyo Negi Roll, Funamori,  and  The Monster Roll . 

Kobore Sushi  translates to “overflowing sushi” and this item is “overflowing” with flavors. It features negi toro and nakaochi tuna elegantly paired with salmon roe and green onion. The  Tokyo Negi Roll  combines green onion tempura rolled with tuna tataki and topped with jalapeno aïoli, shredded carrot, and sliced jalapeno for a delightful roll that you simply need to try.

The  Funamori  features sashimi and sushi arranged on a boat-shaped platter. This iteration of Funamori is even served with the festive pomp and the boat procession of the famous Tenjin Matsuri! 

You’ll also be able to sample dishes from the delicious world of  Japanese Izakaya , a type of casual pub-style restaurant. One of the main highlights of Izakaya culture is the emphasis on sharing plates of food while enjoying drinks and conversation with friends. The menu at an Izakaya typically features a wide range of small dishes, and here is no different. From savory  Karaage Chicken  to succulent  Salmon Misoyaki,  even a refreshing  Tomato Salad with Avocado , Izakaya cuisine is all about offering a variety of delicious small plates that can be indulged in a social and relaxed atmosphere.

Not only can you get dishes from the sushi bar, but the grill will also be serving up delicious options commonly found in Japanese cuisine. Among the grilled items to enjoy,  Okonomiyaki  is a highlight. This Japanese savory pancake is made with a batter of flour, eggs, and water, and then filled with shredded cabbage and bacon, and topped with tangy okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, aonori, bonito flakes, and pickled ginger. 

Welcome to EPCOT, Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya. I hope you’re as excited as I am for this new location to open its doors this summer! 

As you can see, the tasty adventures to be had are truly endless at Disney Parks.

After sailing with all 5 Disney cruise ships, there's only one I'd consider traveling on again

• My family and I have sailed on all five Disney Cruise Line ships, but Disney Fantasy is my favorite.
• I love the Fantasy-exclusive venues, including a vintage-themed ice cream shop .
• Disney Fantasy also has five European-inspired nightclubs, lounges, and bars.

My family and I have sailed on all five Disney Cruise Line (DCL) ships. Although each ship offers a unique experience, there's only one I'd consider traveling on again: Disney Fantasy.

The ship, which debuted in 2012, has 14 decks and some of my favorite onboard activities, including the AquaDuck water coaster and five adults-only lounges.

Here are some of the reasons I'd travel on Disney Fantasy again.

Disney Fantasy's size is just right.

The 1,115-foot-long Fantasy is larger than the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, which are both 984 feet long and have 11 decks.

However, Disney Fantasy's separate family and adult areas make it easy to be entertained in a sea of up to 4,000 people. I love relaxing with a handful of guests in the cozy cafés and nooks or sunbathing in solitude.

I love the Fantasy-exclusive venues.

Each DCL ship has exclusives you won't find on other ships in its fleet, including restaurants and adults-only lounges.

For example, Disney Fantasy has Sweet on You, a vintage-themed ice-cream shop and confectionery inspired by classic Mickey Mouse shorts.

Other exclusives on Disney Fantasy include a Bvlgari shop and a trio of nightlife spots: Italian-style La Piazza bar, British nightclub The Tube, and French Champagne bar Ooh La La.

There's more aquatic fun on Disney Fantasy than most DLC ships.

Disney Fantasy has seven freshwater pools and water-play areas, including three family pools, two adult pools, and two splash areas. The only ship with more pools and water-play areas is Disney Wish, which has 10.

One of my favorite activities is the AquaDuck water coaster.

The AquaDuck, which is only found on this ship and Disney Dream, is a 765-foot water coaster that propels passengers in two-person rafts through a massive transparent tube.

The ride includes open-air portions that offer views of the ocean and a stomach-dropping four-deck drop.

The adults-only lounges have unique European themes.

Disney Fantasy has five European-inspired nightclubs, lounges, and bars located in one area called Europa. The Tube is a London Underground-themed venue, Ooh La La is themed around Champagne, O'Gill's is an Irish pub, and La Piazza has an Italian feel.

I also love the quiet but mesmerizing Skyline bar, which features changing "windows" of famous city skylines.

The Europa theme seamlessly flows from one venue to the next, and I love having the ability to barhop in one specific area of the ship.

I'm a fan of the ship's more subdued dining experiences.

Some Disney fans may prefer entertaining dining experiences, but I appreciate the more subdued dinners on Disney Fantasy.

I don't have children , so I appreciate being able to enjoy the Disney vibes without sitting through the over-the-top dinner dramas found on other ships.

I love visiting restaurants like the princess-themed Royal Court and the French-garden-themed Enchanted Garden. My favorite, however, is Animator's Palate, which celebrates Disney animation and is on every ship except Disney Wish.

I love relaxing in the Rainforest inside Senses Spa.

I always purchase a pass to the Rainforest within Senses Spa, which features aromatherapy showers, a steam room, and a sauna.

However, the Rainforests on Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream are the best because they each have two whirlpools set on a secluded ocean-view verandah. It's arguably the quietest, most relaxing part of the ship.

Overall, Disney Fantasy is my favorite ship — for now.

Right now, Disney Fantasy is my favorite ship because it has the most appealing adults-only options. From one of the best Rainforest set-ups to Europa's quintet of bars and lounges, I love spending time on this ship.

However, this could change with Disney's newest ships , Treasure and Destiny, set to embark on their maiden voyages in December 2024 and November 2025, respectively.
