    Schedule question for the cruise. Going on a 4 night Dream from Ft. Lauderdale (Lookout Cay and Castaway Cay) in April. Specifically looking for what day & time Royal Gathering will be, and what shows will be playing on which nights. Thanks!

    Hi, Karen! Thanks for sailing to planDisney with your question. Welcome!

    Your itinerary for this coming April sounds incredible! I love visiting Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay. Both island destinations have so much to offer, and are the perfect places for fun and relaxation. It's going to be fantastic. 

    While you aren't off enjoying paradise in the ports, there will be plenty to enjoy aboard the Disney Dream. The Royal Gathering will be offered multiple days during the course of your cruise. While I don't have the exact times, rest assured that there will be several options. This complimentary experience is popular and does require a reservation. You can reserve your time slot 30 days prior to your sailing, right at midnight Eastern Standard Time. If you live in the Pacific Standard Time Zone, you can make your reservation at 9 PM.  

    When it comes to the evening entertainment, I wish I could share the exact schedule with you, but as it turns out, the information about which shows will be playing each night won't be available until you board the ship. Once onboard, you'll be able to log in to the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and view the Daily Activity schedule. On a recent sailing aboard the Disney Dream, the first evening show in the Walt Disney Theatre was The Golden Mickeys, the second evening was Beauty and the Beast, the third evening featured a movie presentation of Zootopia 2, and the final evening show was Disney's Believe. Entertainment is subject to change, so I wouldn't expect it to be the same schedule for your sailing, but hopefully, you find this information to be helpful.

    If you have additional questions about any aspect of your upcoming sailing, please return to planDisney and ask. My pals and I will do our best to help you feel shipshape and ready for your Disney Cruise Line adventure.

    Happy Planning, 

    Adrianna
