Welcome aboard, Celeste! December is a wonderful time to set sail with Disney Cruise Line, as you'll get to enjoy one of the popular
Very Merrytime Sailings! There is such a festive atmosphere around the ship. There's really nothing like holidays at sea with Disney! I'm excited for your family to experience it!
Disney Cruise Line is happy to accept requests for
dining with other guests, so give the agents at Disney Cruise Line a call at (800) 951-3532. Have each of the reservation numbers for your guests ready, and ask to put a request on your reservation to be seated together. I've seen large groups up to twelve seated together at times, however, there is limited availability for such large groups. Disney cannot guarantee that you'll all be together, but they do their best to accommodate these types of requests. If nothing else, they'll be able to assign you to two tables of six next to each other each night so you can mix up where you sit each evening among your group.
I hope that helps as you continue planning your magical vacation at sea, Celeste! Stop back with any other questions throughout the year! We're happy to help!
