Animator's Palate is the only restaurant that is on all four of Disney's cruise ships, and it really does just give you that magical Disney feeling! There's a little something extra as your meal progresses here, so pay close attention to your surroundings as you dine.

I was looking forward to this meal because it has one of my absolutely favorite items on the menu; Black Truffles Pasta Purseittes! On this cruise, Animator's Palate was our second night and also Formal Night, so we were all dressed up to enjoy the magic that awaited. This is one of the best themed restaurants in my personal opinion, and I simply love it here! We started the meal with bread and butter and specialty cocktails of the evening. First up was our appetizer course. I was traveling wi

Breakfast pastries from Palo Brunch Hi there, Disney Guys and Gals!      So fair warning... this post is going to make you very, very hungry! Today we are talking FOOD onboard Disney Cruise Line! We all know that cruises are famous for their never-ending buffets and their awesome all-inclusive vibe, but what is food onboard a Disney Cruise really like? How readily is it available? What about picky eaters? What about allergies or those with dietary restrictions??? Well, leave it to me to guide you through it all! Grilled beef tenderloin from Lumiere's      Now, I am a bit of an "expert" when it comes to Disney and food.
