Geeking Out With the Disney Dream, Part 3: The Animator’s Palate Restaurant

Places

I had heard SO MUCH about the Animator's Palate restaurant on Disney Cruises. Boy was I in for a surprise on the Disney Dream! Photo: Patricia Vollmer

Last summer, before my husband and I had booked our cruise, I had received some recent gouge on taking Disney cruises from a couple of Air Force family friends. One of the families’ favorite parts of the cruise was their dinner experience at the Animator’s Palate restaurant.

But first, a little background on the Disney dinner experience. If you so choose, you and your party will have seating arranged at each of the three formal restaurants. The order of the restaurants is coded on your Key to the World card. For example, my card had the letters “ERAA,” so for our four-night cruise, we ate at Enchanted Garden first, then the Royal Table, then the Animator’s Palate two nights in a row. Why two nights in a row? Because the first of those two nights was the Pirates IN the Caribbean theme dinner — all restaurants converted for the theme night (that’s for another post!).

As I’d mentioned in Part 1, the waitstaff travels among the restaurants, so we had the same service team all four nights.

Of the three restaurants, the Animator’s Palate is the most fun and most interactive.
