Your character breakfast falls on the first day at sea after your first dinner in Animator's Palate. Key West day on the Western counts as a sea day for this purpose.
So if your rotation is APLAPLA, character breakfast is on Sunday.
Our Character Breakfast was on Thursday after visiting Cozumel....well, that was a terrible time. We had to be there at 8 AM. The time changed and we lost an hour of sleep. We danced a long time at the deck party and ate too many desserts as we were pulling away from Cozumel. Needless to say, my dd's eyes were all blood shot in their pictures with the characters!!!
KYCruiseCrazy, you will know your rotation when you check in as it will be printed on your KTTW card. Others on here may be able to advise you on a likely rotation, given the ages of your kids. but I don't think there's a way of knwoing for definite (unless you have concierge service - someone correct me if I'm wrong). Some people recently who have booked the Romantic Escape at Sea package have been able to request a specific rotation but I think this is a courtesy at the moment and not guaranteed to continue.
