Welcome aboard, Adam! With so much to offer everyone in the family on the Disney Fantasy, you're all in for a magical vacation this spring!
You won't find out your exact dining rotation until you arrive at the port and receive your Key To The World Card. However, I can give you a suggestion of how my husband and I choose our Palo night. Since you're on a seven-night sailing on the Fantasy, the first three nights will see you rotating through the three restaurants. After that, you'll repeat the same restaurants. So, I'd suggest booking Palo for night four or later, that way you guarantee you've already experienced each restaurant before you head to Palo.
Keep in mind that Formal Night will be the second night of your sailing, Semi-Formal night will be the sixth night, and Pirate Night will be the fifth night (on Western itinerary) or fourth night (on Eastern itinerary). Semi-Formal night is our favorite time to visit Palo, as since Palo has a strict dress code, we know we'll be dressed up anyway, so it's a great night to go. Plus, that means one less dressy outfit to pack for the kids, since they can eat in the clubs that night!
The
three restaurants in the rotation on the Fantasy are Royal Court, Enchanted Garden and Animator's Palate. If there is a particular rotation you'd prefer, you can contact Disney Cruise Line's agents at 800-951-3532, or your travel agent, to request a specific rotation. They'll add a note to your reservation about this, but it is not guaranteed that this is the rotation you'll receive.
I hope those details help as you continue to plan your cruise on the Fantasy, Adam! Let me know if you have other questions before you set sail!
