In 2015, the Disney Dream Cruise ship hosted a unique one-hour Food Network special that delivered the perfect mix of culinary exploration and magical vacation. Titled โDisney Dream Cruise,โ this behind-the-scenes look brought together some of the networkโs fan-favorite personalities for an unforgettable journey.
Food Network Stars Set Sail
The special featured a dream team of Food Network hosts, including Jeff Mauro and Katie Lee from The Kitchen, Amanda Freitag from Chopped, and Melissa dโArabian from Guyโs Grocery Games. Along with their families and friends, these culinary stars set sail on a three-day cruise aboard the Disney Dream.

The group explored all the fun and magic the Disney Dream has to offer, from stunning views on deck to exciting entertainment andโof courseโplenty of food adventures.
A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Disney Dining
What made this special stand out was its rare access to the shipโs inner workings. Viewers were taken inside the Disney Dreamโs galleys, where the shipโs talented culinary team prepares thousands of meals daily.

The Food Network hosts met with chefs, explored the prep areas, and even saw how Disney brings its culinary magic to life at sea. From lavish buffets to fine dining, the Disney Dream proved to be a paradise not just for vacationers but also for foodies.
Surf, Sand, and Serious Flavor
Beyond the behind-the-scenes tours, the special also captured the fun and relaxation of cruising Disney-style. Families enjoyed Castaway Cay, Disneyโs private island, where the chefs and hosts indulged in tropical dishes under the sun.
Whether it was savoring exquisite meals or soaking up the sunshine with Mickey and friends, Disney Dream Cruise 2015 was a celebration of food, family, and fantasy.
