Ahoy, Jenn!
I'm so excited to hear you'll be enjoying a seven-night voyage on the gorgeous Disney Fantasy! It won't be long before you're stepping onboard the ship as your name is announced in the beautiful atrium lobby. I'm sure you're counting down the days!
When you check in at Port Canaveral, you'll be given Key to the World cards. Your dining rotation will be printed on the cards with the letters A, E and R. The letters stand for the three Main Dining Restaurants (A = Animator's Palate, E = Enchanted Garden, and R = Royal Court). There will be seven letters listed, and that will be the order of your rotation. Also listed on your Key to the World card will be the table number. You'll have the same table number each evening, and also the same incredible team of servers! On a seven night cruise, you'll rotate through all of the Main Dining Restaurants more than once. By booking your Palo or Remy meal on one of the later nights of your cruise, you'll have already visited each restaurant at least once. If, once you receive your rotation, you need to make any changes, you'll have a chance to do that on your first afternoon onboard.
On nights that my husband and I dine in Palo or Remy, we usually give the kids a choice of a counter service meal from Flo's Cafe on Deck 11 (Burgers, Pizza, Chicken Tenders) or let them order Room Service while we get ready for dinner. Then, it's off to the Oceaneer Club and Lab to play while mom and dad enjoy a quiet dinner for two. My kids don't mind a bit! In fact, our youngest begs for us not to pick her up until the club is closing for the night. She doesn't want to miss one moment of fun!
I hope this helps with your planning. You're going to LOVE
Palo! Don't miss the chocolate souffle for dessert - it's to die for.
Have a magical day! - Diane W.
