Ahoy, Mary!
Thank you for sailing by planDisney with your cruise question! One of my favorite things about cruising with Disney is the
dining experience each evening. I love the themed restaurants, trying new foods, and that the same dining team takes care of my family every night. It's also the best time to recap the adventures from the day!
I completely understand your concern about securing an earlier dining time for your crew during your upcoming vacation. The good news is that the earlier you book, the more availability you'll have for the first seating. If you aren't able to see the dining times, I suggest
reaching out to Disney Cruise Line to inquire about the particular sailing you are considering. They can assist you with booking the cruise and submitting your early dining request. Also, there is a waitlist for seating times, and the earlier you get on that list, the better your chances of getting moved. I also suggest this strategy, as the dining team on board often can move things around as Guests' plans change.
Mary, fingers crossed you can book a magical voyage soon! I know you are looking forward to counting down to seeing your favorite Disney pals and enjoying
all that a Disney Cruise has to offer. Please let us know if we can assist you further with your cruise plans. We are always happy to help.
