Ahoy, matey! Thank you for stopping by planDisney. I'm so excited to answer your question, Maria, and am thrilled you have an upcoming adventure on the
Disney Magic! My family recently had the most magical five-nights on the Disney Magic and the nightly themes certainly add an extra layer of fun, for sure!
Guests onboard the Disney Magic from Port Canaveral can usually expect an optional dress-up night and a
Pirate Night during their 5-night sailing. For your particular itinerary, Maria, I confirmed that the optional dress-up night will be on the second night and Pirate Night will be on the third night of your 5-night sailing.
My family loves Pirate Night and includes a "Pirates in the Caribbean" Deck Party, Disney pals in their garb, a delicious Pirate-y themed bounty for dinner, and more swashbuckling fun. Highlights included our oldest son, who is usually quite reserved, dancing his heart out to close down the "Pirates in the Caribbean" Deck Party and watching Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl under the stars on Funnel Vision (huge movie screen on the pool deck).
Buccaneers are encouraged to dress up in their finest pirate-wear on Pirate Night. Our Stateroom Host left us bandanas and eye patches, which was a very nice touch. We had ordered matching pirate-themed shirts for our group beforehand, but some Guests go all out! Do what feels most comfortable for you and yours!
Be sure to check the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App once onboard the ship to confirm which night Pirate Night and the optional dress-up night will be, as well as learn about all the entertainment and activities available. You won't miss a thing, I promise. Just add a little "heart" next to anything that catches your eye, and it will automatically be added to your own personal itinerary.
Have the most magical voyage, Maria! Yo ho, Yo ho - it's Pirate Night for me! ARRR!
