Flounder's Reef Nursery pickup time after late seating

Hello!

We are new to DCL and are curious about how long a dinner seating lasts. We are Carnival veterans and can usually time things pretty well but my wife read somewhere that a Disney meal lasts longer...

We might take advantage of the accelerated kids menu for my 6 yo son but we were thinking of sending our 2 yo daughter to Flounder's Reef Nursery.

If late seating starts at 8:15 is a 10:00 pickup safe? I'm thinking it must because the pirate deck party starts at 9:45.... or am I wrong?

Let me know please!

Also any other Disney tidbits would be welcome. We couldn't more excited... it feels like our first cruise again! :) :) :)

It is really up to you. Yes, 10:00 is safe. Of course, you can sit over coffee or after dinner drinks for longer than that if you wish...but dinner is typically about 90 minutes.

You are of course welcome to take your 2 year old to the dining room. If you are thinking it is bedtime, take her in a stroller and let her fall asleep.
