and what dear lady were you doing up at 3am? I was up until about 2 and I thought it was bad!!

Another party deck 7er!

This will not be determined until you check in at the port. The rotations are:

Tritons (T) , Animators Palate (A), Parrot Cay (P)
TAAP
APPT
PTTA

Unfortunately, you won't know in advance for planning Palo.

Thanks for the info Tracy. Could we request a change to the TAAP rotation if given one of the other rotations? Deb and I just looked at the menus (Feb '08 samples at DCL) and while we like all three, we would prefer to dine at A or P twice. Have the menus changed since February?

You can always make the request when you get onboard. If you are linked however with the group, you will have to be unlinked to do a different rotation.

The menus have changed a bit. We noticed a few new dishes on each one last time around.

George, I have read over on the cruise board, (Tracy please correct me if I am wrong) you can request something off another restaurants menu and they will accommodate you.

See...i'm just confuzzled as to what night to do our Palo dinner! I don't want to miss any of the fun in the dining rooms, but we really want to try Palo's. When we went on the cruise with Princess, DH regretted never trying one of the signature restaurants...so it's a MUST for Palo.

I am surprised that the 4 night cruise does such a strange rotation, the same restaurant two nights in a row like that, any idea what the reason is behind that?

Honestly, all the restaurants are great, I don't ever remember having a bad meal and they can make changes if there are things you want or don't want on the menu. I can still remember getting the fettuccine alfredo and getting a lobster tail on the side because I wanted the pasta but did not want the turf part of the surf and turf. Aaah, memories...

Can I make a suggestion? Is this your first time on a Disney cruise? The first time we did a Disney cruise, we did not do any special dining because we wanted to see what the regular restaurant rotation was like. We enjoyed the restaurants and knew what they were like, so the next cruise we did brunch, dinner, and afternoon tea at Palo to see what that was all about. After doing them we found we preferred dinning in the regular restaurant rotation and spending dinner with our table mates to having dinner at Palo. Keep in mind also that there will be a lot going on this cruise between the shows, Podcast events, etc. You may want to consider that and perhaps skip Palo dinner this time around. Just a thought...

Just as an aside, brunch is amazing at Palo, I am so glad they are going to have a special one for all of us, because getting those brunch resies are hard to come by. Dinner is nice, but not necessarily a must do. Keep in mind for dinner too, if you are going up there for the view, make your resies for before the sun sets because once it does, all you see is darkness.

Anyway, just thought I'd share...

I completely agree with your thoughts! But unfortunately...this is a battle that I will not win... This is the one thing that DH has requested and since he's humoring me by going on this cruise...I guess I can humor him with a fancy dinner.

I totally understand Dinner will be fun, and the chocolate suffle is to die for. The best thing to do is make your best guess and pick a night; it will all work out fine, always does...

I just can't believe that we're almost only 4 months away from this cruise!!!!

 

[DVCsince02]

Can't stand it!

 

[cocowum]

We are almost single digit dancers!

It is stupid question time... Where did you get the podcast cruise, "outpost, etc," to add to your signatures? I am just beginning to figure this signature thing out (didn't want to rush it) and would like to add that one to my signature.

Thanks!

 

[DVCsince02]

I had another DISer made it for us.

 

[spaddy]

Thanks. I guess I can use it then..right?

I would like to use it as well, just not sure if I would be breaking any "rules" by just adding it to my signature, so I wanted to see if there was an original that we could copy from.

More good information. Thanks Tracy. Looks like I'll just keep whatever rotation I get because I don't want to "un" anything if we are linked.

If anyone has a recent copy of the menus and could post them that would be great.

George, I have read over on the cruise board, (Tracy please correct me if I am wrong) you can request something off another restaurants menu and they will accommodate you.

This is really good to know. Thanks Alecia. Now I don't need to worry about rotation.

So what will it be like for you at 3 months? or
