Welcome aboard, Angela!
Hooray for your very first sailing with Disney Cruise Line! There is so much to experience on every Disney voyage, but that very first cruise holds even more magic because everything is a brand new magical surprise for your family!
You didn't mention which ship or itinerary you'll be enjoying for this sailing, so I can't tell you which night will be
Pirate Night, as it varies based on itinerary and ship. However, when you log into your reservations to begin online check-in, under My Cruise Activities, you can view each of the days of your cruise and that's where you'll click to add cruise activities like
Port Adventures and as you mentioned, Adult Exclusive Dining at
Palo. You'll also see a note on those days before you click to add activities showing any all-guest activities like the
Sail Away Party and the Pirate Night Party. That'll help as you plan, so the you don't book Palo that same night as Pirate Night.
Have so much fun adding all the extra fun to your cruise plans, and please stop back again if we can help with anything else as you continue counting down to the big sail date, Angela!
