Xmas week cruise -- how to get off wait list for early seating

[Cinderellie]

Hi - my friend is traveling with a large family (15) -- 4 cabins -- with lots of small grandchildren -- 5 and under -- to celebrate her birthday. She is doing 4 days in the park and 3 days on the Disney cruise over Xmas week. She will be on the cruise over New Year's.

At the time she booked, there was only late seating left. She is wait-listed for the early seating, but needs advice on how to get that switched to the early seating. Her kids will be sleeping in their dinner plates if they have the late seating.

Any advice, tricks, strings we can pull to get that switched?

Thanks, oh wise ones!

Ain't gonna happen. Disney's main dining fills up very early because there are so many kids on board. With a group that size they don't have a prayer of clearing the wait list.
