Welcome aboard, Abby! It's time to book all the fun extras for your cruise!
There is no need to book dinner each evening because Disney Cruise Line has Rotational Dining. Your family will automatically be assigned a rotation that takes you through all three restaurants, repeating one once since you're on a four night cruise. You'll even have the same dining servers who rotate with you, meeting you in the different restaurants each night. This way, you get to experience a new restaurant each night! Such fun! The only dining you'd need to book is if you decide to dine in Palo or Remy, the two Adult Exclusive restaurants, which do carry additional costs and require reservations - but I highly recommend sneaking away from the kids for an amazing meal at Palo or Remy.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is the place for princess or pirate makeovers. Little girls arrive to be magically made-over into their favorite Disney princesses by the wonderful Fairy Godmothers-in-Training there. It's such a magical and memorable experience. My daughter has done this twice and I cannot tell you enough about the sheer happiness it brought to her. Some of our favorite memories! On Pirate Night, it becomes The Pirates League, where little guests are transformed in swashbuckling gear. My son became Jack Sparrow there, and loved having a cool pirate help him choose his pirate makeup, gear, and work with him on a special pirate name. Reservations go quickly, so do go ahead and book a time now if you want your little one to do this. Check out the packages that are available!
Also, consider booking your Port Adventures, and check out the
special ticketed character greetings, which you won't want to miss! Those tickets go quickly too!
Have fun planning, Abby!
