Adults sailing with Disney Cruise Line now have an easier way to identify healthier menu choices for children. As part of Disney’s commitment to make healthy living simpler and more fun for families, Mickey Check meals are now offered in rotational dining restaurants across the fleet.

To receive the Mickey Check, foods must be nutritious and meet Disney Nutrition Guidelines for calories, saturated fat, sodium and sugar. These guidelines were developed by leading child health experts and align to best-in-class dietary guideline recommendations. A complete Mickey Check kids’ meal, for example, includes three or more nutritious food groups (such as vegetables, whole grains, lean protein), has limited added sugar and does not have any trans fats.

The menus have been available on the ship for at least a few weeks. Craig L, a reader sent in six of the seven menus from a February sailing on the Disney Magic. These have been added to the Children’s Menu collection. A sample of the Mickey Check options are below.

The Mickey Checks are also included on DCL’s Navigator App.
