    Is there a way to find out which shows are on which nights of a 5 day merrytime cruise? So I can plan other activities around them?

    Ahoy there, Aimee Joyce!

    I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you BACK aboard planDisney! How incredibly exciting that you'll be setting sail on a Very Merrytime Cruise! I went on my very first one just last year, and it was an absolute blast from start to finish. There's truly nothing like celebrating the holidays aboard Disney Cruise Line. The ship is beautifully decorated from bow to stern, and the festive activities are so much fun.

    Everywhere you look, you'll find magical touches that make the experience feel completely unforgettable. From holiday-themed shows and character meet-and-greets to special treats and surprises tucked around every corner, there's always something to delight every member of the family.

    It's really the perfect way to get in the spirit of the season while making memories that will last a lifetime. You're in for such a merry-filled adventure!

    Based on the date of your sailing, it looks like you'll be setting off on the Disney Fantasy, with stops at both of Disney's private islands...Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. I totally get wanting to plan your themed night schedule ahead of time so you can start planning your fun. While entertainment and dress-up nights can sometimes change, here's the current schedule that's planned for your sailing:

    • Night One - Cruise Casual: Start your vacation in a relaxed way with comfortable yet put-together attire, perfect for settling in and enjoying your first evening at sea.
    • Night Two - Optional Dress-Up Night and Mickey and Minnie's Holiday Party: A chance to get festive and join in the holiday fun with special themed activities and celebrations.
    • Night Three - Pirate Night: Unleash your inner pirate! Put on your best pirate gear, enjoy themed dining, and don't miss the Pirates in the Caribbean deck party with an amazing fireworks show at sea!
    • Nights Four and Five - Cruise Casual: Keep it comfy and relaxed as you enjoy the remainder of your cruise.
    Before you head out on your cruise, I definitely recommend downloading the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. It's an incredibly handy tool that will keep you in the loop while onboard. 

    Aimee Joyce, as you continue to plan your magical journey, feel free to sail back by planDisney anytime. We absolutely love helping Guests make the most of every moment of their vacations.

    SEA ya real soon!
