We booked dinner one night for our upcoming cruise; brunch was not available. Menu items look great! First time doing Disney cruise - looking forward to it and trying Palo.

Its a very nice experience. Brunch is the first to go partly because they don't run it every day like they do dinner.

Reading the menu makes me really want to secure a reservation. Going to try to see if they have any openings once onboard.

My mouth is just watering!! Yummy--

I'm still disappointed about the buffet changes, but I know all my concerns will fly out the window once I get that Chicken Parmesan in front of me!

Hopefully you get a reservation, I think they usually do hold some for booking on the ship.

I highly recommend the Balsamic Grande! And yes, definitely the chicken, and the ravioli.

Also loved the chocolate fondant, as well as the strawberry basil sorbet that comes with the panna cotta.

I will miss the buffet too, but this is a different experience that will be enjoyable as well. I’m sure the buffet will be back in some shape or form in the future.

 

[jimandshane]

This was our first cruise so we haven't experienced the buffet, but we didn't mind being served everything -- our server was attentive, and anything we wanted, we got. It was a lot of food.

 

[epcotrulz]

The service in Palo has always been the pinnacle in my mind. A perfect balance of both personal/attentive/informative etc. I like Remy too, just a different experience. I tend to be chatty with the sever team ….

I just had this on the Magic last week. It was a great experience even without the normal buffet elements. I’m not sure it’s worth the $45 but thankfully I’m now Platinum so it’s free.

 

[DisneyParkLover]

Can you order a couple entrees to try or will they refuse this? With the buffet gone, I’d like to be able to try a couple different entrees.

Oh yes, we shared 3. And each had a benedict. No judging, I was on vacation!!!

You had me at Balsamic grande.

While I am very disappointed the buffet is gone, I’m still looking forward to my next brunch (if the Wonder makes it to San Diego this year!). I think I’m most sad about the dessert buffet being gone. I am a dessert person and nothing on the new menu comes close to my favorites from the buffet—the champagne jelly, baked yogurt, lemon parfait, etc etc.

I also fear that this is more cost cutting then anything else and once they see that people will still book without the buffet, it will never come back.

I have never tried this Balsamic Grande...probably because I am not a huge fan of vodka drinks. Is the vodka taste very pronounced like a martini, or do the strawberries and balsamic flavors really come through the drink? I am intrigued, but cautions.

There's vodka in there?!

Kidding, but honestly the strawberry and balsamic flavors definitely come through.

Thanks! Definitely hopeful we'll get a ressie, but I just worry that because we are relying on Disney transfers it won't get us onto the ship until likely 2ish.. That puts us at a disadvantage since it's first come, first serve for those few reservations.

Just happy to be back on board though, so I won't be disappointed if we don't get it.

I will send good vibes your way...assuming we get to sail at all that is, but that's a topic for a separate thread.

If they'd let me make a reservation for you during our sailing, I'd totally do it!
