I am taking my first Disney cruise in September. I was told I could make ADR's 75 days in advance but I'm not sure what ADR's I would need since dining is included. For activities, maybe? Could you please clear this up for me? TY! Love the panel!

Hi Joanne, There are only a few things onboard the Disney ships that you will want to consider booking in advance. Once you've paid for your cruise in-full, and are within 75-days of sailing you can: Book appointments at Vista Spa & Salon Make a reservation for the adult-only dining experience of Palo (this restaurant has a $15 per person surcharge). Secure time at Flounders Reef Nursery for any children under the age of three (babysitting fees apply). Book your Port Adventures. If it helps, I typically don't pre-book anything. I'm a go-with-the-flow type of vacationer, but if you have something specific you really want to do - I would book it at the first opportunity to avoid missing out. Hope this helps!

Hi Joanne,

There are only a few things onboard the Disney ships that you will want to consider booking in advance. Once you've paid for your cruise in-full, and are within 75-days of sailing you can:
- Book appointments at Vista Spa & Salon
- Make a reservation for the adult-only dining experience of Palo (this restaurant has a $15 per person surcharge).
- Secure time at Flounders Reef Nursery for any children under the age of three (babysitting fees apply).
- Book your Port Adventures.
If it helps, I typically don't pre-book anything. I'm a go-with-the-flow type of vacationer, but if you have something specific you really want to do - I would book it at the first opportunity to avoid missing out.

Hope this helps!
