Dining Rotation Order

[TraSee]

Is there a "formula" for discovering your restaurant rotation order before boarding? It is just my DH and myself at early dining...does that have anything to do with it? We are trying to decide which night we will try to schedule our Palo visit.
Thanks and Enjoy your Tuesday!

Often - but certainly not always - Disney puts families with small children starting in AP and adults (and families with teenagers) in Tritons/Lumieres. Leaving the people with elementary school kids starting in Parrot Cay.

Late seating tends to have more adults - making Lumieres more likely to be adults. Early seatings small children often overflow AP

But the rule of thumb certainly isn't consistant. We have 2 preschoolers and started in AP - as expected. But there was a table next to us with no kids and two adult couples. The other table in our section was a large party - but the youngest child was 12 or 13.

I can't say much for a formula. We have six children, so we figured we would be in Animator's Palate first. Instead we were in Lumiere's first then Animator's Palate. Passporter refers to the possibility of those with small children going to AP first, but like Crisi said, I wouldn't guarantee it.
