Ahoy Vanessa –
Thanks for stopping by for a visit - Marcy and I are always here to help at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You are clever, clever, clever thinking ahead about pre-planning your meals! As you know, on a 4-night cruise guests have the opportunity to dine in all 3 of the restaurants in
Rotational Dining and one of the restaurants will be a repeat visit. Many guests choose to visit
Palo or
Remy on that repeat visit night so that they will not miss any of the culinary experiences on board. Unfortunately, the dining rotation schedule is not something that is made in advance, rather it is set up about a few days prior which makes it difficult for long planning. One of your options, Vanessa, would be to call
Disney Cruise Line at
(800) 951-3532 and request a specific rotation and then make your specialty dining plans based on that. I used to do this quite a bit in the past, and while your preference is not guaranteed, Disney cast members will do their best to accommodate your wishes. However, I have found a better option is to just let Disney assign my rotation, and then on embarkation day, I schedule my specialty dining. Usually there are plenty of reservations available after the ship sails, and I have never had any trouble securing a preferred dining time. I hope this helps with your planning, Vanessa, and please come back to “sea” us again!
