Ahoy Monique!
I'm so sorry you weren't able to secure the seating preference you wanted, but, no worries, Disney Cruise Line will do all they can to try and accommodate your request.
Having your name put on the wait list is the best first step - they'll contact you if a seating spot becomes available. You can also call Disney Cruise Line at 1-800-951-3532 closer to your sail date to check availability.
If your sail date rolls around and you've yet to secure an early seating, you can try to have your dining time changed once you board. When you check in, you'll receive a Personal Navigator, a detailed schedule of the day's activities on the ship. On the first day, there will be a time and place listed to go if you need to make changes to your dining reservations. Though I can't guarantee they can fulfill your request, they'll work with you and do their best to make it happen.
For a fun Port Adventure in St. Thomas, I recommend the
Kon Tiki Sightseeing and Beach Cruise. With a fun boat ride, glass-bottom views of marine life, and an hour of beach time, your little one would have lots to see and do! (I think Mom and Dad would enjoy it too!) For a more relaxed adventure,
Magen's Bay Beach Break is a 3.5 hour stay at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. For San Juan, check out the
San Juan Family Beach Day.
