Bonjour Francois!
It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you to planDisney! Your Disney cruise will soon be a reality. Now, let me invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as we proudly present your answer!
You don’t have to do a thing to get assigned your restaurants for dinner service. Lumière and his dining room pals will do that part for you, and you can find out your dining rotation on the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once onboard. The app also gives a sneak peek at the dining room menus. So “go on, unfold your menu, take a glance” and then you'll be ready to place your dinner order before you are even seated. Two of my absolute favorites are the Grand Marnier soufflé and Chateaubriand-Roasted Filet Steak...chef's kiss!
Disney Cruise Line's fabulous rotational dining works like this: Guests dine at a different dining room every night, all the while keeping the same servers. It’s truly one of the main reasons why we adore cruising with Captain Mickey. The
rotational dining teams have always impressed my family with their exceptional service and attention to detail. So you definitely don’t want to miss out on these uniquely Disney Cruise Line dining experiences, which are all included in your cruise reservation.
The only reservation you would have to make yourself is if you would like to dine at
Palo (on all 4 ships) or
Remy (on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy). These are adult-exclusive restaurants and come at an additional cost, but frankly they are so worth it that I don’t hesitate to book them. On the Disney Cruise Line website, you would log into your cruise reservation and choose the particular day you want to reserve this; it can be found under the "Add Activities" tab and then clicking “Dining.” When you can reserve this is determined by your
Castaway Club status (if you have cruised with Disney Cruise Line before) or
75 days in advance if you are a first time Disney cruiser.
Francois, hopefully this has been an “amuse bouche” to get you ready for the "plat principal"...your Disney voyage! “Be our guest” again at planDisney as you continue to get prepared for your sailing.
Au Revoir!
Sherry
