Magic In Paradise: 10/8-10/15 2011 All cruisers check in here

[LC30]

I am curious, how many of us here are main dining and how many are late seating? Also, how many of you have requested a specific dining rotation?

We are late seating, which works out fine for our group since we are coming from the west and have a 2 hour time difference. We also have requested the PLA rotation which puts us in Lumieres on formal night and Parrot Cay on pirate night.

We are main seating. My guess is we will end up in APL. The last 2 cruises we were APT because we have DS was 3 at the time. I'm guessing we'll have the same dining rotation as last time.

Looks like many of us are main dining this cruise. It seems like we always start in L/T, so thats my guess for where we will be. Since we are almot always in the secon dining, it will be interesting to see if I can enjoy the dessert and pirate buffets! And the main family pool by the Arielview screen is Goofy's pool.

We are main dining this time around since we are travelling with a 23 month old. We didn't ask for a specific rotation.

Love it! My big kids had it to ourselves for over an hour on our double dip this summer. They had the timing down for one to go down the unenclosed side six or seven seconds before the one going down the enclosed (fast) side. Then had races, or course, everything is a competition in this family! They were all pretty close!

The four of us will be at the main dining, due to the DD's. We didn't know about requesting a specific rotation but will note that for later. DW and I are doing Palo Thursday night at 7:00 to celebrate out 12th anniversary. We did Palo 12yrs ago on our honeymoon! We really wanna do the Palo brunch, but don't wanna be involved in the stampede on deck 3 when we board, so we may skip it and do it next year.

This is a great location. We can race down pelican plunge, get konk coolers at the Heads Up bar and most important CRASH Bethshaya's wedding all within 50 yards.

We knew you could ask for a certain rotation but as typical Disney policy they can't guarantee and are happy to take requests. Wonder how often they truly get you want you want. Would be great to know.

Maureen, I looked and looked but didn't find it in the first post. I think the older I get, the blinder I get.

I was up till 4:30 a.m. last night. Couldn't sleep so I worked on FEs and am coming up to some new ideas for our stateroom door. This was our stateroom door last cruise.
