Hi there, Jon! Welcome to planDisney. Thanks for sailing our way with your question.
It looks to me like you will be on quite an exciting itinerary! You'll be among some of the first guests to visit Disney Cruise Line's newest destination,
Lighthouse Point. While you are cruising, you can expect to encounter pirates in the Caribbean and celebrate with fireworks on
Pirate Night. Fireworks are launched from the starboard side of the ship (weather permitting). I like to snag a spot on the starboard side of Deck 10 of the Disney Magic about 15 minutes before the deck party is set to begin for an excellent view of the dazzling display.
The entertainment schedule will be loaded and ready to view within the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once you step aboard the ship. One of my favorite ways to plan for each day of my cruise is to scroll through the Daily Activity Schedule each morning at breakfast time. My family will choose the activities we'd like to take part in, and we select the heart icon next to anything that we don't want to miss. If you have your app notifications enabled, the app will send a reminder about 15 minutes before any "favorite" activity is set to begin. Those notifications come in handy, especially when you get caught up in all of the excitement onboard.
If you have more questions about your sailing experience, please return to us at planDisney. We'd like to point your compass toward as much fun and adventure as possible!
Happy Planning,
Adrianna
