Yes, that is confirmed at the 90 day mark with
DCL...more than likely before that point. When you coordinate a large group for dining you have to assign which station each group will sit at. You don't know where they will be placed in the room BUT you group people by 18...an 8, 6, & 4 top per station...which can be pushed together once you board & meet your servers depending on where the tables are in relation to the room & walls & such. I grouped everyone by kid's ages last time, after taking care of the large family groups traveling with the DISers. We had table toppers as well to put on our tables with the group logo on it.
HOWEVER!!!!!! ALL I can do is email that list to the DCL coordinator who will note on the assignment DO NOT MOVE on our tables when she faxes it to the ship at 2 weeks. Not everyone was where they should have been on our last cruise the first night BUT some of this was due to people changing their rotation to have formal night in Lumiere's after they boarded or just switching out for whatever reason. This resulted in the stations no longer all being next to a DIS station when the entire station moved to a different rotation.
All I am going to ask this time is IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE TIME THAT WE WILL BE GETTING FOR LINKED DINING OR IF YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT TO SIT WITH THE GROUP.....do not send in your information when I request it. There were over 250 people last time between the two seatings and that included family groups traveling with DISers NOT in our group count. I expect that I could have up to 600 people to coordinate for dining this time. I hope that this doesn't come across too harshly but I would prefer not to waste time trying to accommodate everyone for dining if they do not intend to stick to it. This is not directed against anyone here...just what I have learned from experience with this.
