Just as a clarification OP said they were going to PALO for brunch and dinner. If I remember correctly they will get one $50 credit that can be used for either the brunch or the dinner. They will not have a credit for both brunch and dinner. Also correct me if I am wrong but I do not see prices on the brunch menu and I have not been to brunch in awhile but I am guessing brunch is a flat $50 while dinner has al a carte prices so you would not need to spend $50 worth of a la carte at dinner.
I am the OP and this is my first Disney cruise. No status.OP said they are gold level, they get no $50 perk at Palo.
