Dining on Fantasy - family of 5

[davidmbfonz]

Here's a question that keeps occurring to me, but I haven't seen an answer to yet (been on these FANTASTIC boards for about 6 months now):

 

We're a family of five - wife and myself, DS(8), DS(5), DD(2.5) and I've seen from others that the main dining rooms have 4-, 6-, and 8- tops. I would imagine we would be seated at a 6-top? I'm just stressing about my three young kids and having to worry that they would behave in front of another family sitting at our table. Not trying to be antisocial, but does anyone know how likely it is that our family of 5 would be seated with another family (or a couple - yikes for them!)?

 

Thanks!

Most likely you would be seated at a 6 top, just your family. However, it is possible to be seated with a party of 3 at an 8 top. One of our cruises there were 3 of us (DH, me, DS19) and we were seated with a family of 5 (mom, DD15, DS16, DD22, and DGS2).

 

Disney is usually quite good about matching the demographics of groups when placing them at tables together. So, my guess would be, if they seat you with others, it would be a mom, dad, and a young child to match yours. It could be just a mom (or dad) and 2 young kids.

Thanks for the quick reply, Shmoo! That's about what I thought... makes sense!

I am glad I found this post! We are also a family of 5 and I was wondering the same thing! Thanks!

We were 5 (3 adults and 2 children) and were put at a table with a family of three. The daughter was about the same age as my granddaughter and they became good friends.

That's nice to hear! Wonderful!

We are a family of 5 that was put with another family of 5 with kids roughly the same age as our kids. This was on the Wonder and yes it was a table for 10. :)
