Ahoy there, Alexandra!
Welcome back to planDisney! It sounds like you and your crew are in for an unforgettable adventure aboard the Dream! This ship is practically part of my origin story—my family’s very first Disney cruise was on
the Dream, and we can’t wait to return to see all the enhancements from dry dock. She’s looking as fresh as a newly polished doubloon!
Now, let’s talk about
Pirate Night! You could track down a map marked with an “X,” barter with Captain Jack Sparrow himself, or embark on a daring adventure across the ship to uncover the secret…but lucky for you, planDisney has the answers without the high-seas hijinks!
If you want to uncover the mystery on your own, here’s a little trick: Open the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, select your reservation (“My Plans”), head to the “Onboard Fun” section, and search for the Pirate-Themed Makeover. If it’s available, that means Pirate Night is happening that day! It’s a sneaky way to confirm without having to wait until you board.
But since you’re already here, I’ll go ahead and let you in on the secret—Pirate Night for your sailing is currently scheduled for Day 2 (your first sea day)! That means you’ll have plenty of time to transform into a scallywag before the deck party, fireworks, and all the pirate mischief. Whether you go full Jack Sparrow, sport matching pirate shirts, or simply enjoy the fun from the sidelines, you’re in for an evening packed with adventure. My crew and I tend to go the matching-shirt route—it saves luggage space and still gets us in the buccaneer spirit!
Speaking of dressing up, your itinerary also currently has
an optional dress-up night on Day 4 (your second sea day). This is the perfect excuse to channel your inner Disney royalty and capture some elegant family photos around the ship.
Alexandra, I hope this helps you chart your course for a practically perfect swashbuckling adventure! If you have any other questions—whether it’s about Port Adventures, onboard activities, or where to find the best snacks at midnight—planDisney is always here to help!
Sea ya real soon with love in the air and magic everywhere,
Dustin
