  This was our night to dine at Animator’s Palate. This dining room is fun! And dedicated to all things animation. On a 7 night itinerary, you eat here twice. The first night you get to hear from Crush from Finding Nemo. He interacts directly with people at their tables kind of like Turtle Talk with Crush in Epcot!
  
  Here’s the dinner menu:
  
  The adorable butter knife!
  
  My favorite item on the menu…Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes. I personally ordered three of these and told them to bring them as my main meal!
  
  Sliced Serrano Ham:
  
  Creamy Butternut Squash Soup. I got this also and it was really good! Nice and creamy and really good flavor.
  
  Pennete Bolognese. My daughter ordered this. It was just basic penne pasta. I would choose something different!
  
  Ginger-Teriyaki Dusted Angus Beef Tenderloin. I did have a bite of this and it was super tender! Good flavor!
  
  Lemon-Thyme Marinated All Natural Chicken Breast:
  
  Herb Crusted Pork Chop:
  
  (I only commented on the ones I tasted! I didn’t hear any bad reviews from anyone though.)
  
  Cookies ‘n Cream Sundae. I had this and it was a nice treat!
  
  Chocolate Fudge Cheesecake:
  
  Our assistant waiter was really good at origami! He made this cute dress for Kinsey.
  
  Overall, I love this dining room. It’s a little bit more laid back of an atmosphere and the theming is true Disney!

- Royal Court Dinner Review

  For dinner on our second night, we were scheduled in Royal Court. This was also our formal night. I requested a specific dining rotation so we would be all dressed up in this dining room! This was in the most formal in my opinion. It’s all about the princesses in here.
  
  I loved the special touch with the way the napkins were folded into shirts! And the bread basket is my favorite.
  
  Thinking back now, I did not get any pictures of the kid’s menu!
  
  Kid’s spaghetti:
  
  Kid’s pizza:
  
  Gaston’s Escargot Gratinee:
  
  Farmhouse Salad:
  
  This was mine and I loved every bite of it. The dressing is super light, and I like the addition of the sliced fingerling potatoes and goat cheese crouton.
  
  Wild Mushroom Stuffed Pasta in a Vegetable Broth:
  
  Chateaubriand-Roasted Filet Steak:
  
  This was mine and it was super tender and delicious. It was really good dipped in the sauce. It was the perfect portion size!
  
  I don’t have a picture of the dessert menu, but this was some flavor of Creme Brûlée and some kind of soufflé.
  
  This was an apple dessert and very good!
  
  The chandelier in the Atrium, just outside of the restaurant:
  
  Grandparents with grandchildren:
  
  Overall the meal was fantastic and the dining room was perfect!

- Disney Fantasy – Palo Brunch Review
  
  Posted at 12:38 pm by taryngirl, on October 9, 2019
  
  Combining from my June and September 2019 cruises!
  
  Palo is a specialty restaurant serving brunch on sea days, and nightly dinners for guests ages 18 and older only. You must have reservations to dine here, and those can be made online during your check-in process for the cruise itself. I’m not going to lie…these reservations sell out quickly and are hard to get! But are TOTALLY worth it! (If you cannot make a reservation online, upon embarking, you can head directly to Palo and try to make reservations then. I’ve done this twice successfully.). There is a dress code, as this is more upscale than the main dining rooms. Be sure to check that when you are packing for the cruise!
  
  The view!
  
  Included are mimosas or a glass of champagne.
  
  After being led to our table, the waiter explained the dining process. There is a menu to order from, as well as a “buffet” style set up. The meal is slowwwwww. You are not rushed and can spend as much time as you need.
  
  Here’s my first plate from the buffet section:
  
  The cinnamon roll was SO GOOD! Warm and gooey. And the parmesan cheese…I couldn’t get enough of it!
  
  The first table…filled with delicious fruit, breads and pastries. The almond croissant was one of my favorites!
  
  The next table was full of seafood offerings, caviar, vegetables, and more!
  
  The third table had a variety of cheeses, olives, meats, etc.
  
  You may make as many trips up to these tables as you wish!
  
  Here is the menu we ordered from for made to order items:
  
  Heirloom Tomato and Basil Soup:
  
  Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast: This is my favorite food on any of the Disney Cruise ships! It’s SO GOOD! And the Risotto is perfect with this. This is 80% why I schedule this brunch on every cruise.
  
  Celery Soup:
  
  Roasted Red Snapper Filet:
  
  Lasagna Bolognaise: I also was able to taste this. It was good but I feel like since we were one of the last tables for the day, it was sitting for awhile maybe?? It’s a good shareable option though!
  
  The dessert table:
  
  I love that the portions are small so we can try a bunch of different things!
  
  June cruise:
  
  Our waiter also brought us several of these lava cakes to share. They were good but we were SO FULL!
  
  September cruise:
  
  (Apparently I have my favorites!)
  
  It was my niece’s graduation celebration on this cruise and they brought here this:
  
  If I didn’t comment on the food, that means it was someone else’s but I just took a picture to share!
  
  This is hands down one of my favorite parts of the cruise! It’s $40 per person, and that is charged to your stateroom account. I highly suggest trying it at least once!

- Disney Fantasy Cruise Line – Embarkation Day and Cabin Tour

  June 15, 2019
  
  The day had finally come! The day we embarked on the Disney Fantasy Cruise Line, for an Eastern Caribbean cruise! We had been preparing for this for over a year for my niece’s graduation.
  
  (We had rented a car through Hertz from MCO, and returned it the night prior to leaving for the cruise. Hertz was right in the parking lot of our hotel. My husband spoke with them when returning the car and explained we were going on the cruise in the morning. They told him we could come back and take the shuttle the morning of the cruise.)
  
  Here we are at Hertz waiting for the shuttle to the port.
  
  And here we are with the rest of our travel party! They had rented cars from another place, so we just met once inside the terminal.
  
  Priority upon embarking for our family:
  - Head straight up to the pool deck and secure some seats near the pool.
  - Ride the Aquaduck.
  - Eat some lunch.
  - Head to Palo to secure brunch if unable prior.
  - 1:30 p.m. Head to our cabin to drop off carry ons and unpack a little bit.
  - Go to the DVC Member party.
  - Go to the Facebook meet up.
  - Check out kid club open houses.
  - Head to the sail away party.
  Here is a tour of our Stateroom #2550 which is a Deluxe Oceanview:
  
  (I forgot to snap a picture, but the couch flips down to a twin sized bed and the other bed comes down from the ceiling.)
  
  These extra goodies can be ordered through DCL, except for the sling bag. That is a gift from DCL for returning cruisers. The owner of my travel agency, Mad Hatter Adventures, had sent us these goodies!
  
  After checking out our room, we went to the DVC Member party. They usually have a character of some sort, and this time it was Princess Tiana!
  
  One plus is you get a free drink and some bottled water.
  
  The spillway party is always fun! We go to deck 12 so we can look down on the party and also look over the railing as we are sailing out.
  
  The DCL terminal.
  
  This area is full of restaurants! We ate here the night before sailing.
  
  More to come!
