Hi there, Susan!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It sounds like you have a
FANTAStic adventure planned for early next yEAR and I am so excited for you! What an adventure you will have with Captain Mickey at the helm! If you have not yet done so, download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app now because it’s so fun to watch the countdown clock tick down! You can also use it now to explore all the fun that awaits you onboard and then once your vacation gets here, you will find it so very helpful during your voyage!
One of MY favorite things about a Disney Cruise Line vacation is the fact that I don’t have to cook! I do enjoy cooking for my family, but it’s a nice treat for me to get to hand over those responsibilities for a week and let someone else do the cooking…and honestly, they are much better at it (at least according to my boys)! We definitely never go hungry when on the “Mickey Boat” and we all have our favorite meals that we look forward to while onboard! And since all your food in the
main dining rooms is included with your reservation, don’t hesitate to try more than one entrée…or appetizer…or dessert…or all three!! Your dining room servers do an exceptional job of making certain you have the best dining experience while onboard and I find that they go above and beyond to ensure you do! The dining room tables onboard vary in size – we have seen tables with only two Guests all the way to large tables with a travel party of 20 or more Guests! It varies from voyage and voyage and even dining rotation to dining rotation! If you are looking to dine with other Guests and your reservations are not already linked, then I recommend
contacting Disney Cruise Line either by phone or the chat feature online to request that they link your reservations and request the other party as your dining room tablemates. If you are interested in dining on your own, you can make that request as well! As always, requests are not guaranteed, but it’s always a good idea to make the request…and sooner than later!
Susan, as you continue preparing for your adventure at sea please come back with any other questions you have!
Happy Sailing!
