Hi there Melissa!
Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I know you are eagerly anticipating the fun and excitement that awaits you on board a Disney Cruise Line ship! Hopefully you have taken some time to get your
Port Adventures booked, but if not you can always visit the Port Adventures desk on the ship and arrange for some exciting and amazing adventures during your cruise.
I believe you are asking about a privately arranged meet and greet. Those are always a lot of fun for travelers to meet one another at the beginning of the sailing and have later see some friendly faces onboard and at the ports of call. In order to have the most accurate information, my suggestion is to confirm with the Cast Member that the meet and greet was arranged with to ensure that those who choose to not partake in the refreshments are still able to attend. There are unique elements to each privately booked event, so checking with your point of contact with
Disney Cruise Line would ensure that you receive the most accurate information.
Have you had an opportunity to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app? If not, do so before your sailing. Not only does it allow access to the events of the day, but it also has a really fun chat feature in which you can chat with other Guests and family members. Each guest is given their own chat number, so be sure to exchange those at the meet and greet!
Happy Sailing!
