We will be on the Dream October 7 for Halloween on the High Seas - our first Disney Cruise (one other cruise under our belts, four years ago). We signed up for main dining time because it seemed logical since we normally eat around 6:30 at home and have a younger child. We are routine people at home but not sticklers on vacation as far as her schedule. In my mind, I cannot imagine waiting till 8pm for dinner (and my DH HATES eating late at home, but I know, it's vacation), and she is not a big eater so if we eat snacks at 5-6pm, she will not entertain more food at 8pm. I'm not opposed to kids clubs during dinner for her, but I would like to spend some time together as a family also. We will definitely get off the boat at Castaway Cay but will be staying on the boat in Nassau, so excursions are not an issue.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, sell me on later dining if you are a fan! Why do I want to change to this, or why should I keep my regular time? Is there something I am missing? The one thing that does come to my mind is, we love to sleep in on vacation (think 8:30-9) if possible, and then shower and be ready for the day, so that could potentially push all meals down a little.
