Welcome aboard, Pat! Next summer when you set sail on the
Disney Dream with your family and friends, you'll have lots of magic to look forward to!
Disney Cruise Line is happy to help arrange seating during your rotational dining together. You'll want to call your travel agent or the agents at Disney Cruise Line and provide them with everyone's reservation numbers so they can link those together. This will ensure you're seated near each other, or at possibly two larger tables together in the same dining rotation. I don't believe they can seat all 19 at one big table, but certainly two near each other is possible. They can add that request to your reservations when you call. Disney cannot guarantee the request, but I've always found they are wonderful about these types of arrangements.
Did you know that Disney offers
Rotational Dining? Each night you'll rotate through one of the three different main dining
restaurants onboard, so you will dine in each one at least once. Since your same dining service team follows you, you'll enjoy getting to know your dining servers as they meet you in the different restaurants each night, getting to know your preferences and you can get to know them! My kids really look forward to meeting our dining servers on the first night so they can chat with them and look forward to seeing them again each night at dinner, though in a different restaurant. What a wonderful way to provide such magical personalized service! Have fun as you continue planning your cruise with Captain Mickey and his crew, Pat!
