Palo with adult child w/ dietary needs

[ppony]

We've only ever done Palo just my husband and I, but our severely autistic son will be old enough to join us this trip. We'll probably only book brunch again because that was our favorite. My question is, my son has a severe feeding disorder and honestly, the only thing we'll likely get him to eat that Disney serves is fries and apples. We generally have to bring our food with us for him when we travel. Would the chefs at Palo be able to make fries for him though it's not something they serve for brunch? I know we're paying a premium to have him there with us, but he goes where we go. We won't have someone to be able to watch him, so if we can book it, he comes with.

I’m sure they would have them brought up from the pool deck quick serve, I don’t imagine that being a problem. I hope you have a magical cruise!

In my opinion, Palo just isn't for your son and there should be plenty of options suitable for the dietary situation of your son in other places. The menu items there, based on the menus I saw, have very complicated flavors that would unfortunately result in a medically unsafe situation.

Hopefully that won't ruin the magic of your cruise entirely!

I agree with the previous poster that they would most likely get him french fries from another area on the ship if he dines with you at Palo. My only concern is that we have had Palo take 2 hours to dine, would he be happy to sit there there with you the whole time? What I would do is book Palo when your window comes up and then on embarkation day I'd go up the Palo hostess stand when they open that first evening and explain the situation to make sure they can accommodate your son's dietary restrictions. I do this myself to let them know I have celiac and need to eat GF and they make note of it on the reservation. Hope you have a wonderful cruise!
