I feel that dinning rotations are one of the things that you really don't need to worry about.
DCL will take your request ... and remember - It's
only a request!! This really is one area that I feel people need to "let go".
So what if you're in Parrot Cay for formal night. You still will have fabulous servers, the food will still be awesome, hopefully you've made friends with your tablemates so the company will be good. So what if you're dressed in a tux and there are parrots and bananas hanging from the ceiling!! Some people are "wierded out" by the idea of being in Animators Palate for formal night. Heck what more formal than Black and White?? (the room doesn't change color on formal or semi formal night) The walls are black and white and so are all of the chairs - so the room is already formal (ok, so there's "grafitti" on the walls - but it's Disney!!
Things to know about dinning - In order of importance
1) Seating: Main (6:00) or Late (8:30)
2) Rotation: Which dinning room that night. On the Magic the restaurants are:
Lumiere's,
Animator's Palate and
Parrot Cay so the three rotations are LAPLAPL or APLAPLA or PLAPLAP and on the wonder the restaurants are:
Tritons's,
Animator's Palate and
Parrot Cay so the three rotations are TAP or APT or PTA. If you are on the 4 night cruise DCL reciently changed to having the first 2 nights in the same restaurant (ie. TTAP, AAPT and PPTA)
BEFORE Pirates Night the rotation on the 4 nighter was TAPT, APTA and PTAP.
3) Table Number: (same table number in all of the dinning rooms)
4) Your Serving Team: they will be with you for all of your rotational dinning
5) Your Tablemates: Most families will share a table with other families. They will be with you for dinner in all of the rotational dinning rooms (so get to know them - you have 3 to 7 nights to make new friends)
