Ahoy, Lindsey!
Thanks for cruising by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question!
I'm so happy to hear you'll be sharing the magic of your Disney Cruise Line vacation with some special friends. You'll be making so many fun memories together as you sail the seas with Captain Mickey and his crew!
To make sure both families will be seated together at dinner each evening, all you need to do is call Disney Cruise Line at (800)951-3532 to let them know you'd like to have the reservations linked (make sure to have both reservation numbers handy when you call). This will also be helpful if you'd like to book any
Port Adventures together, as you will be linked together for that as well.
Before you set sail, I encourage you to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to your smartphones. Not only does the app provide you with a daily schedule of all the activities happening on the ship, but it also includes an onboard chat feature that enables you to keep in touch with family and friends that are sailing with you. On our last cruise, we loved using the app to keep up with each other, and to help schedule our favorite activities. It even sends you a reminder when you have a "must-do" event coming up - so great!
I hope this helps with your planning - have a magical day! - Diane W.
