Welcome aboard the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Lauren!
You are speaking my language. One of my family's favorite things about cruising is all of the food! I am excited for you to experience all the different culinary treats onboard during your high seas adventure!
Although your
rotational dining room assignments are not available to you prior to your arrival, I would encourage you to make your
Palo reservation before you sail. I struggle when choosing which evening to make my reservations for Palo as well, as I don't like to miss dining at
Animator's Palate.
Once you check in at the cruise terminal, you will see your dining room rotation on your Key to the World Card. If you find that your Palo reservation interferes with the restaurant you were looking forward to dining in, visit Palo or call them from your stateroom phone to inquire about changing your reservation to a different evening during your sailing. I have had to do this twice and both times they were able to accommodate the change for me.
Another option is to book Palo brunch instead of dinner! This way you don't have to miss dinner in any of the rotational dining venues. I actually prefer Palo brunch as it gives you an opportunity to try so many different Italian dishes and treats in the same seating!
Visit us again at the Disney Parks Moms Panel if you need any help navigating the planning process before you set sail!
"Sea" ya real soon! Angie
