Welcome aboard, Melissa! Your family is going to love setting sail with Disney on the Dream. That was the first Disney ship that my family and I were able to sail on as well, and we loved every moment!
On the Dream's three-night sailings, guests won't have the Formal and Semi-Formal nights, as they might find on the longer sailings, however, there is one night that is considered an optional dress-up night. Many guests do go all out that night, wearing their formal best. However, if you choose not to, Cruise Casual attire is perfectly fine that night as well.
Don't forget to pack some pirate gear for the
Pirate Night onboard too. Even adults get in on the fun! My family loves to dress up like pirates that night to enjoy the festivities on deck! It sure makes for some great photos!
Have a wonderful cruise this summer, Melissa, and if you have further questions before then, please let me know!
