Hi, David!
Welcome aboard
Disney Cruise Line! I am excited to have you joining the DCL crew for an at-sea adventure! Captain Mickey has so much fun planned during your voyage, so you are in for a swash-buckling good time!
Booking windows listed on the Disney Cruise Line website are Eastern Time. That is nice for you west coast guests as you do not have to wait up until midnight if you want to book ASAP! For those of us on the east coast, waiting for that clock to strike midnight can be a bit tough - but we all do it for the chance for that Palo reservation or a coveted cabana at
Castaway Cay!
Keep an eye on your booking window which is based on your
Castaway Club level. The higher your level, the sooner you may begin booking your
Port Adventures and onboard activities. If you find you are unable to book an activity due to availability, keep checking back as guests' plans may change you may find an opening. Even once you are on your Disney ship, stop by Guest Services or the Port Adventures desk to see if there is any availability for your desired activity.
If you are looking for a reservation for
Remy or
Palo, you may check onboard with the dining staff to check for a time. I have found that they are very helpful and will do what they can to find you a dining time at one of these lovely adult-only restaurants. I am a big fan of brunch at Palo and I make every effort to secure a reservation!
Once you are on the ship, you will be able to manage your reservations and plans through the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. Make sure you have it downloaded on your phone so you do not miss any activities and you will be able make any changes or updates to your schedule.
Best of luck to you, David, as you plan your Disney Cruise! Bon Voyage!
