Hi there, Jessica!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am sure you are very excited about your upcoming Disney Cruise Line vacation! Not only will you get to enjoy everything that Disney Cruise Line has to offer, but you will also get to experience a
Very Merrytime Cruise, which is so festive and a magical way to celebrate the holiday season!
It most definitely would NOT be SUPER weird to take part in the Princess Gathering; in fact it would be SUPER fun and exciting! Disney magic is for everyone regardless of age and everyone enjoys meeting and greeting their favorite characters, so go ahead and book a complimentary ticket for yourself for the Princess Gathering onboard! There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking advantage of the opportunity to meet multiple princesses at once, no matter how old (or young) you are! There will be professional photographers available to snap some photos for you for your exciting encounter with your favorites and many times a kind Cast Member will offer to snap one with your personal camera. Also be sure to catch Belle in the live
“Beauty and the Beast” exclusively on the Disney Dream; I have yet to see it, but hear it is simply wonderful!
Once your online check-in and booking window opens, (75 days prior for
first time cruisers) you can reserve your ticket or you can wait to do it once onboard, if availability remains. At this time you can also reserve any other onboard activities or port excursions for your time onshore.
With so many fun activities to enjoy, you are certain to have a wonderful adventure at sea! Wishing you a magical and memorable sailing!
Happy Sailing!
