You're an awesome grandparent, Bernadine!
Your grandsons are so lucky to have someone like you to take them on an awesome Disney Cruise Line vacation. The Disney Dream will be a great venue for you and your grandsons to spend quality time with each other. Your bond will be stronger as you take the time to be with them on this fun yet relaxing voyage.
Themed nights onboard the Disney Cruise ships are amazing! My favorite of them all is the
Pirates IN the Caribbean evening. Swashbuckling fun for everyone and you'll be amazed at how many people really get into it -- it's a perfect night to wear coordinating pirate gear and take pictures at the atrium. These photos will make great mementos of your cruise. You'll also have another night as an optional Formal night (dress up) on one of your 4-nights. Families do take advantage of this themed evening to get professional photographs taken at the lobby atrium, since the photographers will be setting up signature Disney Cruise Line backgrounds. Perfect for family or solo photos! The other 2 nights will be cruise casual, and here are some
additional tips on outfits to wear.
The Personal Navigator will be delivered to your stateroom every evening. It will also include the theme that is planned for the following day - as well as any other activities to look forward to. Try to bring a highlighter just in case there are multiple activities that your grandsons (and yourself) might want to check out.
Wishing you a wonderful voyage with the kids, Bernadine! Please feel free to ask any additional questions to help you plan for your vacation. We are always happy to help!
Happy planning,
~ Dolly
