Hi, Esther!
A family get together on a
Disney Cruise Line vacation sounds magical. When my kids were younger, they had such a blast cruising with their cousins. I do not even want to know how much ice cream they consumed as a group! They are all grown now, but they still talk about their cruising adventures as kids.
I am glad you are on the waitlist for your
preferred dining time. Keep your name on the list as often I have found I my dining time changes prior to boarding. If you do not get moved to early dining, you may chat with the dining team as soon as you board your ship on embarkation day. Inquire at Guest Services where you should go to make your request. While I cannot guarantee they will be able to make the change, they will certainly do their best to accommodate your request to dine with your family.
In the meantime,
link your reservations together. This will allow you to make your plans together including
Port Adventures or onboard activities. To keep in touch with your family while onboard, download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App so you have access to the Onboard Chat feature. Let your family know if you are headed to the pool, doing some shopping, or on your way to play BINGO!
Wishing you a cruise full of magical memories. Capture those moments with
Onboard Photography and Photo Packages. Enjoy savings if you purchase your Unlimited Package prior to boarding (remember to book at least 3 days prior to sailing).
Bon Voyage, Esther! Captains Mickey and Minnie look forward to seeing you real soon!
Cathy
