Instagram user @packyourpixiedust first shared the new menus, which are for the Disney Magic, Wonder, Fantasy, and Dream. Her family was told the menus were changed to be more in line with those on the Wish-class ships.

As with the new Pirate Night menu, specialty drinks are no longer listed on the food menu for each restaurant, and appetizers, soups, and salads have been combined into one “Small Plates” section. “Lighter Note Offerings” and each restaurant’s “Signature Dessert” are also no longer listed separately.

Below are all the changes plus the new menus in full, as seen on the Disney Fantasy.

“Let the Magic Begin” First Night Menu

On the first night of each sailing, guests enjoy the “Let the Magic Begin” menu regardless of what restaurant they’re dining at.

New to the menu are the Seared Vegetable Dumplings appetizer. The New England Clam Chowder has an updated description, previously only listed as coming with Sourdough Croutons. The Couscous Salad is now the Moroccan Couscous Salad, with hummus listed in the description instead of chickpeas. The Arugula and Baby Spinach Salad was replaced by Roasted Beetroot and Orange Salad.

Baked Salmon Fillet

The Spinach, Sweet Potato, and Lentin Dhal is now served with coconut rice instead of jasmine rice. The chicken and steak lighter note offerings were removed but the salmon has moved to the main entrées as the Baked Salmon Fillet with jasmine rice and bok choy.
