We hope you can join us aboard the beautiful Disney Magic for the Anyone Can Cook Panama Canal Sailing from November 6th through November 20th, 2026.

Enjoy beautiful days at sea, fascinating ports of call, warm sunshine, and the remarkable experience of sailing through the legendary Panama Canal. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to relax, explore, share a laugh, and make memories with friends old and new.

I have the privilege of filling the D Lounge with laughter, kindness, stories, and comforting dishes made with heart, including:

Ropa Vieja with Black Beans and Rice

Pork and Prosciutto Meatballs with Creamy Parmesan Polenta

Chilly Day Beef Chili with Cast Iron Buttermilk Cornbread

Chili Lime Fried Chicken Sandwiches with Cilantro Chutney and Tamarind Slaw

Shrimp Scampi with Grilled Garlic Bread

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies with Vanilla Cream

Smashed Beef Kebabs with Cucumber Yogurt

Come ready to learn, laugh, taste, and make wonderful memories with fellow food lovers. I cannot wait to welcome you and share a little culinary magic along the way.

Frothy coffee. A feather light croissant, chestnut brown and crisp. The scent of freshly cut grass drifting through the window. A dog stretched out in a pool of sunshine.

Warm chocolate chip cookies, their centres soft and molten, their edges kissed with gold. A chilled vanilla bean crème anglaise waits alongside, ready for that first glorious dunk. Pure childhood comfort, dressed up for dessert.

Some recipes are memorable. This one is utterly craveable. I cannot wait to share it with guests this November.
