    Going on a 3 night Halloween on the high seas cruise. Which nights are themed for Halloween and pirate, and which shows fall on each night?

    Ahoy there, Denise!

    Welcome back to planDisney! Those 3-night sailings can really fly by, and when you add Halloween on the High Seas to the mix, I completely understand wanting to know what’s happening each night so you can make sure you don’t miss any of the spooky fun!

    Now, I’m not totally sure which ship you’re sailing on, but I put on my Detective Mickey hat and think I’ve got it narrowed down to either the Disney Wish or Disney Destiny. The good news is that both ships are planned for the same theme-night schedule, just with different ports of call. Here is the current plan for both ships:
    • Day 1 – Cruise Casual
    • Day 2 – Pirate Night
    • Day 3 – Mickey’s Mouse-querade and Trick-or-Treating

    I do recommend double-checking your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once onboard since entertainment schedules can change. You wouldn’t want to show up ready to walk the plank when everyone else is dressed for Halloween! Of course, I think you’d probably fit right in either way.

    As for the Broadway-style shows, this is where things get a little trickier. Disney Cruise Line can mix the show schedule around, so there isn't a guaranteed way to know exactly which production will be presented on which night until the final schedule is available. That said, based on the schedules I’ve seen, here is my best guess for how the shows may fall:
    • Day 1: (Wish) Disney Seas the Adventure / (Destiny) Disney Seas the Adventure 
    • Day 2: (Wish) Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular / (Destiny) Disney Hercules
    • Day 3: (Wish) The Little Mermaid / (Destiny) Frozen, A Musical Spectacular

    Keep in mind that this is my best guess, not a guaranteed schedule. Your Navigator app will have the final word once you board, including showtimes and locations. I’d also recommend checking the app as soon as you connect to the ship’s Wi-Fi on embarkation day so you can look over the entire schedule and favorite the activities and entertainment you don’t want to miss.

    I hope this helps you get your Halloween costumes, pirate gear, and show plans ready for your three-night adventure. With only three nights, there’s a lot to see and do, but with a little planning, you’ll be able to make the most of every minute aboard the ship!

    Sea ya real soon as summer waves goodbye and autumn magic begins to shine,
