Disney Cruise Dining Question

[Amara]

Hello,

My wife, daughter (4) and I recently booked a cruise on the Disney Dream. We live in New England. Family members from Sante Fe wanted to join us but the room that was adjoined to ours was already booked. They ended up getting a room on the same floor close by. We have early seating because of my 4 year old. My Aunt tried switching to early seating to dine with us but they are full. They are wait listed. My question is....it is 8 months before the cruise. Our rooms are linked but we are in separate seating times. What are the chances that they will get moved to our seating considering that our rooms are linked and it is 8 months in advance.
Thanks!

This far out, I'd say you have fairly good chance of them being switched. My suggestion, give DCL a call periodically to "confirm" that the request is on the reservation (remember the squeaky wheel?). And, if it still hasn't come through by embarkation day (check your KTTW cards after check in), go to where the dining changes are being handled as soon as you board to make the request again.

Most of the time these steps will get you what you want. Sometimes not.

Also, in the future, this board is the Tech Support board. If you have more questions, come on over to the Cruise Board and ask:
