Ahoy there, Henry!
I'm so happy you've sailed by planDisney today with your question about your upcoming Disney Cruise Line vacation.
I'm thrilled to hEAR you'll be setting sail on the gorgeous
Disney Fantasy with Captain Mickey and his crew in September! I have a cruise booked for October, and I'm counting down the days, how about you? September sailings are right around the corner!
FYI, you've asked a question about one of my favorite features of a Disney Cruise - the FOOD, specifically, the food at
Palo Brunch. I celebrated my birthday with Palo Brunch on our last cruise, and I seriously have dreams about how AMAZING it was. I wish I could share my food photos in this post to show you all that's in store if you've booked this incredible dining experience! Not only is the food amazing, but the view is breathtaking.
On past sailings, Palo Brunch has been set up as a bountiful buffet, featuring salads, soups, seafood, pastries, gourmet cheeses, and more. In our experience, while we could have definitely filled our bellies just from the buffet offerings, we were also offered a menu of a la carte options to choose from. My friends and I were getting full from all the buffet deliciousness when our server suggested (insisted) we try a few entrees for the table. He didn't have to twist our arms very much to convince us that we "needed" to try a Margherita Flatbread, Eggs Benedict, and some Strawberry Waffles. He even brought out samples of a few other delicious entrees. I have no regrets! Somehow we even managed to save room for dessert. Adult-exclusive dining is quite a treat on the Disney Cruise Line ships, and something we always make time for (as well as a nap soon after!).
While I'm not sure quite yet what Palo Brunch will look like when Disney Cruise Line resumes voyages, I hope they will continue to offer the fabulous a la carte menu items as part of the dining experience. I absolutely encourage you to order a few for the table to enjoy! I definitely look forward to more information being released about Disney Cruise Line dining experiences as the fleet begins sailing once again.
Please come back and visit us here at planDisney if you have more questions as your sail date gets closer!
