Direct from Disney Cruise Line - Update on Castaway Benefits and Palo Reservation

Direct from Disney Cruise Line - Update on Castaway Benefits and Palo Reservation


Beginning on October 22, 2026 and continuing in a phased approach, Palo, Palo Steakhouse and Palo Trattoria will transition away from the Prix-Fixe dinner menu to a selection of our guests’ favorite items. The prix-fixe dinner menu transition away on the following schedule:

·         Oct. 22: Disney Wonder

·         Oct. 23: Disney Fantasy, Disney Dream, Disney Wish

·         Oct. 24: Disney Magic, Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny

·         Oct. 26: Disney Adventure

 

With this change, Platinum and Pearl Castaway Club Members and their guests staying in the same stateroom can continue to use their $55 USD per person credit toward a broad range of a la carte dinner menu offerings. This exclusive benefit is limited to DINNER ONLY. As a reminder, brunch is not included in this offer. Guests are responsible for beverage charges, gratuities, and any amount exceeding the credit. Additional information about this Castaway Club benefit and others can be found at DisneyCruise.com.

 

Should guests wish to check for availability or modify an existing reservation, then can visit the “My Reservations” section of the DCL.com site. As a reminder, modifications to pre-arranged activities can be made online up to three days prior to sailing. Eligible platinum and pearl castaway club Members will receive a SeaMail informing them of these updates.


Why are they doing this?

Simple:

  • Castaway Club members have learned that Brunch is a better deal than Dinner.
  • People like Brunch so they don't miss the Main Dining Room at night. This leads to more people having brunch than dinner.
  • Dropping the Prix-Fixe dinner menu will make it cost more so DCL makes more money. Upper Castaway Club Members still get a $55 credit towards it.

 

I'm not a fan of Italian food but I LOVE the experience. Is it worth $55 for the experience? YES! Is it worth giving up a Main Dining Restaurant? Not in my opinion.
