Ahoy there, Gloria! Thank you for sailing alongside us here at planDisney! I'm so excited that you will be embarking on an incredible Disney Cruise Line vacation aboard the
Disney Dream in just a few short months! There's no better way to welcome the sun than topside with incredible views of the open sea!
If you ask me, there's no better way to welcome the MOON than with an adult-exclusive reservation to
Palo - or Remy for that matter! The ambiance, the extra-luxurious, quiet surroundings...the FOOD! It's a dining experience you simply must experience if you can. To that point, reservations to Palo are subject to availability and can be made through the "
Book/Manage Cruise Activities" section of the Disney Cruise Line Website or
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app! Simply select the day of your cruise that you are looking to book, and select "add activities" which should bring up a menu - choose "Dining" and then "Palo Dinner." From there, you'll select who from your reservation will be dining, and proceed to the next step. If there is availability, you should have the option to select from available times!
If you don't see those options, it may be that there are no reservations available currently, but don't fret! I always like to check with a crew member at Palo or Guest Services about reservations on embarkation day - it's often our second stop, just after grabbing lunch at
Cabanas! Sometimes we're lucky and snag a last-minute reservation, and other times we aren't, but it's always worth the check.
Oh, and remember: you can only book activities after your booking window opens! This is based on your
Castaway Club status! Booking windows start at 125 days for Guests in Concierge staterooms, followed by 120 days for Platinum members, 105 days for Gold members, 90 days for Silver members, and 75 days for first-time cruisers. But since May 2nd is around 50 days away, you should be able to check for availability no matter your Castaway Club status!
I'll be sending faith, trust, and pixie dust your way, Gloria, in the hopes that you can secure a reservation at Palo for you and your party! Thank you so much for your question, and if you come across any others as you count down the days, please drop another message in a bottle and send it my way! I usually open about five a day, but sometimes the bottles wash up more frequently than others! Have an incredible vacation!
Fair winds and following seas!
Andrew
