Cheers, Adam, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you’re ready to attend a magical affair on the
Disney Fantasy, so let me wave my magic wand and see what we can find out for you!
The Royal Gatherings are scheduled for 30 August from 9-10 AM and 31 August from 9-11:45 AM. Of course, the princesses have a busy engagement calendar, so those times could potentially change. My best advice is to consult your personal Fairy Godmother onboard (aka the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app) for the latest times and locations of each activity and show.
In my experience, it may be a little easier to secure a spot on Saturday since that is your day in Belgium. Since Sunday is your day at sea, that may be why the window is longer for
Character Greetings. While you cannot reserve your appointment just yet, that should open up 30 days before your sailing. Just head to “My Plans” online or “Onboard Fun” in the DCL Navigator app to sign up.
Once you secure a reservation, I recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early. After all, one never wants to keep a princess waiting. I also find checking in with my
DisneyBand+ super convenient. It also makes sharing my room information with each
photographer a breeze before snapping a portrait with royalty.
Whimsy and majesty await you on your royal trip, Adam. I hope you enjoy smooth seas and exciting adventures on your
European getaway. And if you think of any other questions before your trip, don’t hesitate to head back to us here at
planDisney!
Sea ya real soon,
Sami
