For us newbies, isn't it 75 days out to book anything?? Guess the chance of seeing Palo is pretty small, huh? Oh well, I'll still try. Can't believe it is only 132 days away. DD has a chalkboard and is counting down the days. She is vigilant!
I know this isn't cruise related but I am so proud I have to say it....my DD just came home with a straight A report card!
Congrats on DD's report card.


We like to celebrate our "Diskids". See, we have claimed her already.
Don't give up hope for Palo dinner - there are 5 nights for Palos. Brunch will be hard as there is only one sea day, and Brunch is only served on the sea day.
And as the others have said, you can also try to book on board.
My suggestion - and others please chime in here as well - is that you decide what you think is the most important to book at the 75 days. Have all that information handy and ready. Look at the
DCL website so you know where things are. You may wish to save them to your wish list.
Then - when it is the bewitching hour, go on line and book the first one and then "accept it". Stacy or Mary -what is the correct term.
You don't want to key in a long list of items and then push accept - in the past this has created problems. For example, if there are only 50 spots left and there are 100 people planning on grabbing the date and time, it may appear when you first access the page, but it will be gone by the time you accept, assuming you are booking more than one event. Why do I know this? Because it has happened, which is a great thing about these Boards. We can pass along tips.
Also, there is so much to do on Disney that does not require the reservations you will have fun regardless. Especially on your first cruise. Even if you go go go 24 hours a day with no sleep, you will still have things to do. So if you do not get something you have planned, move onto the next item on the list.
This may be your first cruise, but it will not be your last - right
