Welcome back, Hazel! I'm happy to see you've stopped back with another question about your upcoming cruise with Disney!
Since you've already sailed with Disney once before, then you know how magical the
Rotational Dining is. My family and I just love that instead of having different dining servers in the different restaurants each evening, the same dining servers stay with us and rotate with us throughout the three
restaurants each night. We love getting to know them and they quickly get to know us and our preferences. It's so wonderful!
Smaller parties may be assigned to be seated with others, that's true. However, if you'd like to have a private table of your own, for just the two of you, you may certainly request that before sailing. While Disney can't guarantee requests like these, in my experience, they do their very best to accomodate them. Three times, I have sailed with just my husband or just one of my children alone, and we've requested a table just for the two of us. Each time, that is what we got, so we were very pleased! Give the agents at Disney Cruise Line a call at (800) 951-3532 to add this request to your reservation. If you're especially concerned, Hazel, feel free to stop by the Dining Assignment Changes location the first afternoon onboard. It's listed on the front page of your Personal Navigator that you'll receive as you check in. You can chat with the dining managers there to see if you were assigned a table for two, so you are prepared before you arrive at dinner that night. I believe they usually offer this meeting between 1:00 and 3:30 on embarkation afternoon, just check your Navigator for specific location.
Please stop back with other questions if we can help again, Hazel! Have fun planning!
