I was just hoping that someone could give me a tip on how to ensure that a large party is able to eat together in the dining rooms. We have 12 going in feburary but we all booked seperatly. Any good tips will be very helpful.

You *absolutely* should make reservations -- in my experience WDW does not limit your reservation number to however many there are in your room. And try to make them as early as you can (is it 60 days now?)! We went with ~12 once for just a day to MK, did not make reservations, and only could do counter service. Ultimately it was fine, but we had to hunt a lot to find a table together.

Good luck!

Hi ARfess96...Welcome to DC!
Have your travel agent make sure that your bookings are cross referenced so that your party is on the same dining schedule and seated together. I am, of course, assuming that you made your reservations for your cruise through a travel agent. If you did then the cross referenced thing should already be done. Have a wonderful time!

I agree with what Peppertink says, and I'll just add that you will have the same table number throughout your cruise! Call the cruise line as soon as you can and explain the situation, and I'm sure they will help you out! And as soon as you board, head straight to the customer service desk (it's on deck three, the deck you enter!)and just verify that your party will be seated together!
