Ahoy there, Donna! I am so happy you sailed back by planDisney with plans for another adventure at sea aboard
Disney Cruise Line.
Dining at
Palo is a highlight of our trip. When my kids ask me where I want to go for dinner each birthday, I joke, "Palo." (But I'm not kidding.) On our cruise this summer, like you, we were able to get a dinner reservation, but I wanted brunch. I stalked the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, hoping something would open up, but no luck.
If this wish does not come true before you board, the dining team is available on Embarkation Day for dining requests, including changing main dining times and Palo and Remy reservations. I have heard
Soul Cat Lounge is the usual spot on the
Disney Magic. This is on Deck 3, near the Aft elevator bank and
Rapunzel's Royal Table. Things change, so I would ask the Cast Members who greet you as you board. Just like the White Rabbit teaches us, time is of the essence.
Speaking of time, let's talk Port Arrival Time. The earlier you can board, the sooner you can reach the dining team. Donna, I know you have your sea legs, so you are aware of the pre-arrival
online check-in. Since this is when you pick your Port Arrival Time, be sure to add a reminder to your calendar so you are not late for this very important date!
I hope your parmesan-crusted chicken breast dreams come true! If you have any other questions, you know you have a friend in
planDisney.
SEAS the Day!
