    Dear, My mother and I are going to be sailing on the Disney dream on dec 15th. It will be the 4 night very merrytime cruise. On what night can we expect the Minnie & Mickey holiday party and the pirate party?

    Ahoy there, Kyara!

    Welcome to planDisney — I'm so glad you sailed our way! Your upcoming Very Merrytime voyage on the Disney Dream sounds like it's going to be pure magic from start to finish. Sharing this adventure with your mom makes it even more special, as you'll be creating moments you'll both treasure for years to come.

    I couldn't help but notice your itinerary is a true showstopper! Not only will you be visiting Disney Cruise Line's beloved Castaway Cay, but you'll also experience the stunning new Lighthouse Point. It's the ultimate combination: serene beaches, exciting island activities, and a ship brimming with festive holiday cheer. This cruise really offers the best of both worlds, wrapped up in Disney magic.

    For those of us who love to plan ahead, knowing the themed night schedule can be a game-changer. While onboard entertainment is always subject to change, having a general idea of what's in store makes it easier to pack the perfect outfits and get excited for the fun ahead. Here's the current lineup for your upcoming sailing:

    • Night One - Cruise Casual: Comfortable but polished outfits are perfect for your first dinner and a bit of exploring around the ship.
    • Night Two - Mickey & Minnie's Holiday Party: A merry celebration at sea! Expect festive music, character appearances in their holiday best, and plenty of seasonal cheer.
    • Night Three - Pirate Night: Yo-ho, it's time to unleash your inner buccaneer! Pirate Night brings themed activities, a special dinner menu, and the Pirates in the Caribbean deck party, capped off with fireworks at sea.
    • Night Four - Optional Dress-Up Night: If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to shine, this is it. Many Guests like to take the opportunity to wear formal or semi-formal wear for a glamorous evening.
    Did you know that during your visit, Castaway Cay will be transformed into a tropical winter wonderland? You can expect whimsical "snow" flurries drifting through the air, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and plenty of festive touches sprinkled throughout the island. 

    Remember, before you set sail on your adventure, make sure you download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to your mobile device. This handy tool will be your go-to guide for everything happening onboard. From entertainment schedules and activity times to dining rotations and last-minute updates — ensuring you don't miss a moment of the magic during your cruise.

    Kyara, as you continue charting your course for this magical voyage, feel free to drop anchor here at planDisney whenever you have questions. We're always ready and eager to help you navigate every step of your adventure!
