Hello, Elizabeth! Welcome to planDisney. My pals and I are happy to see you!
You are just days away from what is sure to be an unforgettable vacation! Your particular itinerary does include a scheduled Pirate Night and an optional dress-up night, where you'll see fellow cruisers wearing formal and semi-formal attire. Pirate Night is tentatively scheduled for your second evening aboard the Disney Dream, while the dress-up night is set to coincide with New Year's Eve festivities. To find out information about themed nights, one must ask a Crew Member via the online chat, make a phone call, or do what you did and ask at planDisney!
So much information will be available to you once you step aboard and open the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. It's where you will find the daily activity schedule. You can scroll through the entertainment offerings for every day of your vacation and click the heart icon next to any items you would like to "favorite". You will then receive push notifications when any of your favorite activities are about to begin. It's a great way to not miss out on any of the fun.
I understand why you'd like to plan ahead, so thank you for sailing our way. We'd love to help again, so please visit planDisney any time you have questions! And one last tip, if you'd like to say "see ya real soon!" to Mickey and the gang, be sure to consider booking a placeholder cruise reservation using the Navigator app while onboard. You can lock in savings for a future Disney Cruise!
Have a Happy New Year aboard the Disney Dream!
