Chances for Frozen Meet & Palo Brunch

[DisneyPiPhi]

We just booked our cruise (Disney Wonder on December 15) at 70 days, which I knew would be too late to book most on-board experiences. I was able to book a Princess Meet & Greet, which is wonderful.

Is there an okay chance that the Frozen Meet & Greet and a Palo brunch will become available, either between now and our sail date or on board the ship? The earliest available PAT is 12:30, so I'm thinking we are out of luck for these or other activities that require first come, first serve sign-ups. This is our first cruise, so it's understandable that we wouldn't be able to do these experiences, but they would both be nice!

The chances of an opening for Palo brunch are fair to good. How many sea days does the cruise have? Just one or two it's little more difficult. 3 or more, better chances. DCL does hold back some reservations for Palo from the online booking process for booking onboard. I'd suggest you keep an eye on the activities window online until you leave for your cruise. If nothing opens up, head for where the Palo dining changes are being handled (It'll be listed in the Navigator you get in the terminal where/when this is.

As for the Frozen Meet & Greet I've read that there are additional such meet & greets available onboard (that aren't on the online page), and I've also read that there were none beyond what was booked online. If there is any availability it might be at Guest Services where they handle it, but I'm not sure about that.

Hi there! When we cruised last year, we did not realise that the meet and greets could be prebooked. By the time we found out, it was about 30 days. Obviously everything was sold out when we looked at that point. We did keep checking online, as people do change their plans, like adding or taking away a Port Adventure, freeing up both PAs and onboard activities, so it's worth checking in every now and again. Otherwise, do it when you board. For our previous cruise, once we got our navigator at check-in, we looked for the information about where to go for meet and greet tickets, and made it our first point of call once on board. There were plenty of available slots, although they were mainly on port days. That was not an issue for us, as it was 4-night Dream cruise, and we were not getting off in Nassau anyway. So, as long as you can be flexible, you should be able to get something.

As for Palo, not had to try that until this coming cruise. As it stands at the moment, we were not able to book a table for 3, but I have booked a table for 2 at 10:30am and a table for one at 11am. We will be, again, heading to the dining place to sort that situation out, as advised by others on here. So, technically, we will be freeing up a dining space once that is sorted, so chances are others are in the same position, and more might be available on board. I know others have said that you can also try to book on board on embarkation day too.

So, if you can, perhaps work out where you need to go to before boarding, and then if possible, split your party to go and deal with the two issues if at seperate locations - one to sort out dining, one to sort out meet and greets, unless one is less important than the other. Good luck with that!
