My biggest issue is that my dad and now my sister have medications and medical issues that they have to eat and take medications at certain times. But we got late dining. My sister and dad are now in bed by 8pm due to her cancer/ my dad’s brain damage. My dad is has a ridiculous rare neuro disease where his antibodies attacked his brain. This is our last family vacation and we will not be able to eat at the main dining room. It makes me so upset about this. If my niece wants to stay up, that’s no problem. She has her night shift fun aunty (me). But I just want a nice sit down dinner with my family… that will never happen
I am so sorry to hear of the medical issues with your loved ones. I have a few thoughts here if you like: Call Disney Cruise Line and let them know this is actually a medical issue for two people, I really think they will change you to main dining for this. If they do not, get on the waitlist for main dining as soon as possible. Also, if you can, do online check-in at midnight est the day it opens, so that you can get the earliest boarding time available. As soon as you are on the ship ask any crew member where dining guest services is located. They always have someone on that first afternoon. Let them know why you need main dining. Since this is a medical issue I do think they will help you out here. I hope you have some family memories to treasure from your trip.
This information is very helpful so when I pack for my disney cruise I will know what to do and how to do it 😊
I hope it makes your next trip a little easier!
I don't have little ones, but my daughter does. I have to remember to bring a smaller bag for the things that I'll buy. Thanks.
Sounds like a good plan!
