On the Disney Adventure, guests will have the option to dine at two premium dining locations: Mike and Sulley’s Flavors of Asia and Palo Trattoria. Premium dining is available for an additional fee and is not included in the price of the cruise like other dining.

Mike and Sulley’s Flavors of Asia

This Monsters, Inc. restaurant is inspired by Harryhausen’s, including the signature design element of a giant pair of chopsticks holding a monstrous eyeball.

It offers four signature dining experiences, each a first for Disney Cruise Line:

• Sushi & Sashimi: Stop by this open-air sushi haven, specially created for walk-in service. Beyond the pristine sashimi and nigiri, crafted with precision, discover imaginative small bites inspired by the vibrant tapestry of Japanese street food.
• Japanese Steakhouse: Immerse yourself in a symphony of flavor and impeccable service with this premier steakhouse experience. From exquisitely seared steaks to the freshest seafood, each dish is a testament to the chefs who perfect details with artistry. The refined, Japanese-inspired ambience enhances the dining experience, bringing delight along with delicacies.
• Omakase-Style: Be guided through an intimate 9-course omakase journey in an elegantly designed space inspired by Japanese aesthetics. Dishes, each meticulously crafted with the finest seasonal ingredients, include A5 Satsuma Wagyu, the freshest seafood and rare Japanese delights.
• Teppanyaki: Sit back and watch a culinary performance unfold before your eyes. During this teppanyaki experience, master chefs orchestrate an 8-course tasting menu with theatrical flair, showcasing their expert techniques and the finest seasonal ingredients.

Guests can enhance their dining experience with a curated selection of sake, Japanese whisky, handcrafted cocktails, and mocktail pairings.

Reservations are required and can be made online or on board the ship. When dining at Mike and Sulley’s Flavors of Asia for dinner, guests will skip their regularly scheduled, rotational Main Dining restaurant.

If unable to attend, guests must cancel 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee. An 18% gratuity will be automatically added to all checks.

As for dress code, Disney Cruise Line states, “Along with formal or partly formal attire, Guests are invited to wear dress-casual attire, such as dress pants, jeans, collared shirts, dressy tops and lifestyle shoes. Please, no swimwear.”

Palo Trattoria

It wouldn’t be Disney Cruise Line without a version of Palo, their signature premium Italian restaurant. On the Adventure, this adult-exclusive restaurant is inspired by Venice and the coastal seeing of Pixar’s Luca. It’s a 2-story finding dining restaurant reminiscent of a seaside town under a star-filled sky, complete with twinkling constellations, moonlit accents, and celestial décor.

Palo Trattoria offers handmade pasta, artisanal pizzas, and globally sourced meats and seafood. Guests can complement their meal with a selection of Italian wines, expertly curated to showcase the best vintages from Tuscany, Piedmont, and beyond.

In addition to dinner, Palo Trattoria will offer brunch featuring a host of Italian dishes with a modern twist, as well as Prima notte at Palo. This is an embarkation night exclusive including a medley of Italian wines paired with a curated selection of bite-size delicacies.

Like Mike and Sulley’s, reservations are required and guests will skip their regularly scheduled, rotational Main Dining Restaurant. Guests can make up to two dinner reservations at Palo Trattoria during their cruise, as long as one is on the first night.

If reservations are not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance, the full per-person prix fixe cost will be charged.

An 18% gratuity is included in the brunch menu price and during dinner, an 18% gratuity will be automatically added to all checks. It’s also included for Platinum or Pearl Castaway Club Members when they redeem their complimentary Palo Castaway Club benefit meal.

Guests are requested to dress in a manner consistent with the restaurant’s sophistication. Formal or semi-formal attire is recommended. Also permitted is dress-casual attire with a polished look, such as dress pants, jeans in good condition, collared shirts, dressy tops and lifestyle shoes. For brunch at Palo Trattoria, dress shorts are acceptable. Clothing such as T-shirts, swimwear, jeans with holes, slippers/flip-flops and sports attire are not permitted.
