Tiana’s Place replaced Parrot Cay during the Disney Wonder’s 2016 dry dock. The menu officially debuts to guests during the November 10, 2016 4-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Galveston, Texas.
According to Disney, Tiana’s Place has been designed as a festive and brightly lit restaurant, where toe-tapping live jazz and iconic storytelling keep the party going nightly. Guest will travel back in time to a festive New Orleans style family gala complete with live Dixieland music that brings the iconic elements of the popular Disney animated movie to life. Once inside, you and your family are transported to an era of genteel southern charm, where joyous street party celebrations were all the rage.
Adding to the magic, special touches from the movie like family photos, water-lily-shaped candleholders and more help convey the timeless tale of Tiana’s journey from waitress to frog to princess to proud restaurant owner.

What do you think about the menu offerings?
Oh my. This sounds amazing!!!! Will definitely prioritize the Wonder for our next cruise!
Will they be serving this particular menu each rotation during a cruise? We will be sailing in December on a 7 night and will be in rotation for 3 nights at Tiana’s. I want to make sure to try as much of the menu as possible… lol.
Yes, this is the standard rotational menu for Tiana’s Place.
This menu is the exact reason why I go to the gym about 2 months before each cruise. Whatever positive results I made, I know I can blow it on a 3 night or longer cruise especially with a menu like this….Yum!!
Thanks for the information.
I think it sounds delicious! This has me so hyped up for our Alaskan cruise next June!!! Thanks for the info!
I am also taking an Alaskan Cruise next June, and can’t wait to check out this amazing new restaurant and menu!!!
Great info ! Looking forward to trying it.
The menu looks great except it’s missing the most important dish – gumbo!!! That’s Tiana’s signature dish and a major focus of the movie. I’m hoping y’all reconsider and add it!
The pork tenderloin dish says it’s on “andouille stew”. Maybe that’s gumbo-ish?
Thank you for the information.
Hopefully DCL doesn’t blow it by leaving out the spices.
I’m not going to hold my breath.
Just bring me the desserts. All the desserts
From the standpoint of a New Orleans native, I think they did a nice job with the appetizers and desserts. However, the entrees all seem like generic “middle of the road” options, just with a small New Orleans-y side.
Having no gumbo on the menu is head-scratching. Not only is that a New Orleans staple, but isn’t gumbo what Tiana’s dad extolled as the kind of food that brings people together and makes them happy?
I think the issue comes down to what guests are willing/wanting to eat. That is why a lot of the items lack flavor because they know robust flavors and bold spices are not everyone’s cup of tea.
They could give us at least 1 dish that was made correctly.
This is so cool! I love the idea of the movies coming to life like this. It’s a shame they don’t up the spice and the lack of a gumbo feels off. But who knows? Maybe we will be surprised
Excellent! I can’t wait to dine here in February!
We are doing a 4-niter out of P.Cnvl in February and I will be lobbying my wife to do a rotation that begins / ends with Tiana’s Place!
