2-Night Halloween on the High Seas Baja Cruise from San Diego
Sail Date September 15, 2017 Ship Disney Wonder
Sail Date September 15, 2017 Ship Disney Wonder
I've done the 2 night a couple times and just accepted whatever rotation they gave me, since I didn't go to the MDRs anyway. 2 night cruises fly by really fast and I didn't want to spend that much time sitting around in the dining rooms.Have you sailed before on a 2 day Disney cruise? I am just wondering about the 3 rotational dining restaurants and 2 nights. Can we request a restaurant with DCL of our choosing?
I will be on this cruise with my husband.

With that said, when you board the ship, there will be a room set aside (I've seen it at Triton's) for dining changes. You can go there and request that your dining line up changes. There's no guarantee that you will get your request, but the earlier you get in there to ask, the better your chances. The location and times for the dining changes will be in the navigator they will give you at the port.
I have read that the disembarking breakfast will be in whatever dining room you haven't had for dinner. I do not know if that is true, because all the other cruises I've been on have put the breakfast in the final night's dining room.
Greetings all! My family and I will be riding this cruise This is our first Disney cruise ever and after reading the site pretty well, we have one big question:
What should we sign up for after walking aboard?
The open sign-up on the Disney cruise website really only focused on spa treatments and the photo studio, but it didn't have anything we wanted. I read that my wife and daughter can sign up for a spa treatment together, but they have to do that after we get aboard because advance reservations apply only to adults. Because we learned this, we started to wonder what else we are missing! Is there anything else we should sign up for as quickly as possible after embarking? Character meals? Meet and greets? Parties and buffets?
We have costumes (early Halloween and all that). We are already working on our door decoration. We learned about the fish extender, but we decided to not participate in that, yet (maybe on a longer cruise). We are making something to drop off at guest services for the characters to sign (frame matting or pillow case or something like that). So, I'm sure fun will be had regardless.
This cruise is to "get our feet wet (hah!)" in the world of cruising, as we will likely go on another in the future. We want to eat in the Animator's Palate, but we won't be too dismayed if we don't because we will probably cruise again in the future. Anyway, we are looking forward to a fun and relaxing trip, but any ideas for stuff to sign up for will be welcome. Thanks!

Thank you for the information. My family really want to have dinner at the Animator's Palate.

On the 2-night cruises they don't do the Animator's "show" that the normally do as only 2/3 or the ship would be able to experience it.
On the 2-nighters it really doesn't matter what dining rotation you have because anything special that is usually done in those restaurants on regular-length cruises don't happen.
Just, go, enjoy, and be sure to book your next cruise while onboard.
