Ahoy, Pam, and welcome to planDisney! Thank you for sailing by with your great question. I hope this means you have a magical voyage on the horizon!
The Royal Gathering is a complimentary, reservation-required character interaction onboard many Disney Cruise Line ships and is an opportunity for Guests of all ages to meet and greet some of their favorite Disney royalty all at one time and place! On my most recent sailing on the Disney Wish I was able to meet Cinderella and Belle, among other princesses in the Grand Hall and it was incredibly special. Every Royal Gathering is unique, however, as you'll never know which princesses might be in the area and free from their royal duties!
Complimentary tickets for the Royal Gathering can be booked beginning 30 days prior to your sailing. To book online, I recommend logging on to
My Reservations exactly 30 days out, as these spots do go quickly! Then, under “My Plans,” find “View or Add Activities.” On your day-by-day itinerary, choose the day you’d like to reserve your tickets. Review your choices and add them to your cart. Once the slipper fits, you'll be on your way to the ball!
I sincerely can't wait for you to experience the magic at sea with Disney Cruise Line, Pam. Your voyage will be filled with gorgeous views, relaxation, and so much fun onboard with Disney pals. My family's highlights are always the dazzling Broadway-style performances in the evenings, receiving the royal treatment at our
rotational dining, and complimentary room service directly to our stateroom! (Breakfast treats from the comfort of our beds! Mickey Ice Cream Bars for bedtime snacks!) But whatever you decide to do (or snack on) onboard your Disney Cruise, I know it will be pure magic.
Magic awaits,
McCayla
