From Tower to Table: Chasing Dreams with Rapunzel at Sea

Her story started in a tower and has taken her to the high seas.

Rapunzel’s Royal Table is one of the three main dining restaurants aboard the Disney Magic, and is included in your sailing. This gives cruisers the chance not only to enjoy a great meal but also to share the dreams they’re chasing. So, anchor in as we shine a light (or lantern) on what makes Rapunzel’s Royal Table so popular.

The Food

Living up to the glowing reputation Disney Cruise Line is known for, this restaurant offers a diverse array of dining choices, ranging from well-known American favorites to international flavors from around the world. The standout entrée at our table was the Tangled Pasta – Angel hair pasta tossed in a basil-pesto with caramelized sea scallops, roasted vine tomatoes, and a sun-dried tomato tapenade.

The Atmosphere

From the light fixtures to the floor, the restaurant is brimming with decor inspired by Disney’s Tangled and the faraway kingdom of Corona. The walls are adorned with yellow and purple flags; the chairs feature sun details in their design, and even the bread basket highlights iconic moments from Rapunzel’s story.

From the moment you’re seated, it’s as if the world has somehow shifted, and all at once everything looks different. Your thoughts of sailing the seas drift away, and you focus on the story that’s about to unfold.

The Story of Dreams

Throughout your meal, performers sing and dance in celebration of Rapunzel’s birthday and the anniversary of her return home. These performers are spectacular at what they do and bring the story to life.

You get to hear about the power of dreams and how in each of us there’s a dream we want to pursue. It’s a fun evening where the performers make you laugh, smile, and dare I say, dream of your next adventure.  

It’s also an excellent opportunity to bound!
