Dinner Rotations?

[wendyk]

Can anyone tell me what the different dinner rotations are? I was going to make a spread sheet so I will know what night to book for Palo as soon as we get our KTTW cards.

Thanks

I'm not sure about the rotations for the Wonder but the rotations for the Magic are:
PLA, LAP or APL

P - Parrot's Cay
L - Lumiere's
A - Animator's Palate

Hope this helps....

I can help you with the 7 day Eastern and Western:

EASTERN

Sat Casual, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Animator's, PC
Sun Formal, Lumiere's, Animator's, Parrot Cay, Sea
Mon Casual, Animator's, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Sea
Tues Tropicali, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Animator's, St.M
Wed Casual, Lumiere's, Animator's, Parrot Cay, St.T
Thur Semi-F, Animator's, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Sea
Fri Casual, Parrot Cay Lumiere's, Animator's, CC


WESTERN

Sat Casual, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Animator's, PC
Sun Casual, Lumiere's, Animator's, Parrot Cay, KW
Mon Formal, Animator's, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Sea
Tues Casual, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Animator's, GC
Wed Mexicali, Lumiere's, Animator's, Parrot Cay, Coz
Thur Semi-F, Animator's, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Sea
Fri Casual, Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, Animator's, CC


I couldn't set it up as a table as I had wanted, but if you go across each line horizontally it represents the different rotations in this order PLAPLAP, LAPLAPL, APLAPLA.

The end of each line line represents the Port or Sea day

Thanks you guys. It is the Western cruise we will be going on. Next question, since we rotate thru all the restaurants 2 times, which one is the least desiarable to dine in twice?

Thanks

Most of the time, (though not always), your rotation order coincides with the makeup of your group. Families with young children usually start in Animator's Palate and adult groups usually start in Lumiere's. I have read this from others and that theory held true for us on both of our cruises (one with and one without children).

As to which to miss, you should look at the menus to decide. I think our Eastern in January had the special menus (International and Chefs of Disney) on 4 and 5th nights respectively (I think). I'm pretty sure Thursday night (6) was lobster night also, and that is available in every restaurant. I wouldn't recommend missing your first night at Animator's Palate, but my preference would be to skip the second night there.

Your rotation info we'll be available as soon as you get to your cabin. Grab it right away and make tracks to Palo's to make your ressies. Do this while someone else in your party is at the spa making those arrangements (especially if you're interested in either a cabana massage or a surial bath). If you snooze, you'll lose!!


You also might want to try the brunch at Palo's. This was probably our favorite meal all week.

Our least favorite rest. has always been Animator's, so we usually do Palo on one of those nights. Nothing wrong with the rest, just not our favorite.

Yes, as a matter of a fact when I called DCL to see if they knew in advance what seating I would have, the woman I spoke to said they didn't know and we could request one, and when I mentioned that I had heard that LAPLAPL was mostly adults she said YES! and wanted to know how I knew that....she was so surprised when I said that I got it from the Dis!!
