Ahoy, Emilie!
Dining at Palo is one of my favorite things about cruising with Disney. The adult-exclusive restaurant, featured on all four Disney ships, provides an amazing dining experience for Disney Cruise Line guests.
Palo, named after the poles gondoliers use to guide their boats through the canals of Venice, serves Northern Italian cuisine and features amazing views of the ocean from every seat. Reservations are required, and can be made online or onboard the ship. There is an additional charge of $25 per Guest to dine at Palo.
On a three night voyage, your dining rotation will include one visit to each of the three themed restaurants on the ship. To enjoy an evening at Palo, you'll miss an evening at one of the three main
dining venues. I understand you not wanting to miss out on dinner at Animator's Palate - it's such a fun atmosphere, and one of my very favorite dining experiences on a Disney Cruise!
Since you're hoping to make your Palo reservation on a certain evening of your dining rotation, I suggest contacting Disney Cruise Line at (800)951-3532 to inquire about your specific dining assignment. Be sure to let them know you're hoping to book Palo on an evening other than the night you'll visit Animator's Palate.They should be able to help you request a certain dining rotation if needed!
On the evening you enjoy dinner at Palo, don't miss their signature dessert - Chocolate Souffle! It's truly one of the most amazing desserts I've ever eaten, and it's well-known that it's a "must have" on a Disney Cruise!
I hope this helps with your planning. Please let us know if you have more questions as your cruise date gets closer!
Have a magical Disney day! - Diane W.
