Disney Cruise Line will replace the $55 prix fixe dinner at its adults-only Palo restaurants with à la carte ordering across the fleet beginning Oct. 22, 2026.
The change applies to Palo, Palo Steakhouse and Palo Trattoria. Disney Cruise Line told Castaway Club members that Platinum and Pearl members will receive a $55-per-person credit toward eligible food ordered from the full dinner menu rather than selecting from a separate fixed-price menu.
The credit retains the same dollar value as the outgoing prix fixe option, but guests who order more than $55 in food will pay the difference. Beverages and gratuities remain the guest’s responsibility. Guests whose food orders stay within the credit amount will not have an additional food charge.
The benefit also applies to passengers sharing a stateroom with an eligible Platinum or Pearl Castaway Club member, as long as that qualifying member attends the dinner. The revised policy gives those diners access to the wider à la carte menu, which includes Italian-inspired dishes, steaks, salads, pizzas and desserts.

Disney Cruise Line said the credit is limited to dinner. While some guests had previously been allowed to use the benefit for brunch at a restaurant manager’s discretion, brunch was not an officially guaranteed part of the Castaway Club benefit and is not included in the new arrangement.
For eligible guests sailing after Oct. 22, the practical change is that a complimentary prix fixe meal will no longer be offered at these restaurants. The adults-only dining benefit remains, but its final value for each diner will depend on the items ordered.
