Hello, Meng!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney! I am happy to answer your question about the Royal Gathering. My kids participated in the
Royal Gathering during our family's cruise aboard the
Disney Wish last fall. They loved meeting some of their favorite Disney Princesses! Belle talked with my kids about what books they like to read, and Moana shared some wayfinding tips with them. It was so sweet! Although we never know which royal friends will appear at the Royal Gathering, it has always been a special experience.
The complimentary Royal Gathering can be booked on the
Disney Cruise Line website up to 30 days before your sailing date (after your cruise is paid in full). Log into your MyDisney account on the
Disney Cruise Line website and find "My Reservations" under "Already Booked" at the top of the page. After selecting your cruise, highlight "My Plans" and select "View or Add Activities." Select a day and choose the Royal Gathering when you see it. It is a popular event, and I recommend booking it as soon as it becomes available. Depending on your cruise length, it is often offered on multiple days. If you cannot get a reservation, stop by Guest Services on the first day of your cruise to see if any tickets are available.
I recommend downloading the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app after arriving in the United States. It has many
helpful features, including Disney Character schedules, entertainment calendars, and event information. I also use the Onboard Chat function to chat with my husband or other family members on the ship when we are not together. It is especially helpful when you would like your spouse to bring you ice cream!
Meng, enjoy your sailing aboard the Disney Wish! Please contact planDisney again if you have other questions!
Happy sailing!
Jen
