Ahoy Ayden - welcome back to planDisney!
Thanks for swimming by with another question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you plan your very own, very magical,
Disney Cruise Line adventures!
I'm so excited to hear that you'll be enjoying the brand-new
Disney Wish in a couple of months. It's definitely my favorite Disney Cruise Line ship - there's magic around every corner!
Speaking of magic, the three all-new
Rotational Dining venues aboard the Wish are magically incredible. Sure, there's amazing food, but the entertainment is really what sets these experiences apart. Given that, I can definitely understand why you might want to be seated as close to the "action" as possible. In my experience, I've had great evenings at
Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, and was seated about as far away from the stage as you can get on both occasions! You see, Ayden, every effort is made to ensure that each table has magical moments during their dinner. Yes, there are portions of the entertainment that take place on a central stage, but it's easy to view, and Queen Anna and her friends also greet their Guests throughout the dining room.
I wanted to provide that context because the answer to your question is, it depends! How dinner seating assignments are made on Disney Cruise Line ships is a mysterious art. In general, I don't think requesting a private table is more likely to result in a less ideal location. That being said, I doubt empty seats are prevalent near the stage. So, if you are a party of two and request a private table, you'd likely be seated at a table for four and it's less likely to be right next to the stage. Again, this is just speculation on my part based on my experiences and what I know about the process. Your mileage may vary!
Ayden, I hope this information helps your planning efforts –
stop by any time with additional questions! Oh, and before I forget, make sure to check out all the magical excitement surrounding Disney Cruise Line’s
Silver Anniversary at Sea!
Bon voyage!
