Ahoy there, Brianna! Welcome to planDisney where we are Guests who love planning Disney vacations and help others do the same.
Royal Gathering is a very popular onboard activity that gets reserved very quickly. Children under 8 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to attend. I suggest continuing to check for availability up until you embark on the
Disney Fantasy. Other Guests may change their minds about this activity. Once you embark, you can also check with Guest Services, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to accommodate both of you.
Brianna, I know this is not exactly the news you wanted to hear. There will be other opportunities to meet some of your favorite characters throughout your sailing. Consider the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app your treasure map for the onboard activities you are most interested in. You can "favorite" the things you don't want to miss in the app so you can get a reminder 15 minutes before it starts. This is always helpful for me for my must do activities!
If you have any other questions, come back to visit me and my
planDisney pals anytime.
Bon Voyage!
