Ahoy, Rebecca!
Welcome aboard planDisney! A Mediterranean
sailing on the Disney Dream sounds like an incredible way to start summer. Sunshine, sea breezes, and a little Disney magic mixed in? That is my kind of packing list motivation. Let’s take a look at your theme nights so you can plan accordingly.
Since your sailing is still a few months away, I do recommend confirming everything in the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once you are onboard. Entertainment schedules can shift between now and embarkation day, so that app will be your first mate once you are connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi.
With that in mind, here is what is currently planned:
• Day 2 (at sea) –
Formal Night: This is your chance to dress to impress and take advantage of those beautiful Atrium photos. Keep an eye out in the Navigator app for the Welcome Reception as well. It is a fun opportunity to mingle with the ship’s officers and sometimes enjoy a little complimentary toast to the voyage. My family loves this night because the whole ship feels a little extra special.
• Day 4 (Civitavecchia) –
Pirate Night: Time to channel your inner Captain Hook or maybe just throw on a pirate-y shirt and call it a day. You will find pirate-themed fun throughout the day and into the evening. Due to local laws and regulations, fireworks are not planned for your sailing, but the deck party still brings plenty of swashbuckling energy.
• Day 6 (Cagliari) – Semi-formal Night: If you want another opportunity to dress up without going full royal ballroom, this is it. It is a nice balance and another great night for photos and enjoying that classic cruise vibe.
I am a sucker for Disney nostalgia, and if you are too, keep an eye out for
Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party in the Navigator app. If it is offered on your sailing, it typically takes place around 7:30 PM. It is like stepping into your own Disney playlist, with hit songs from across the decades and appearances from favorite characters. It is one of those unexpectedly joyful moments where everyone, kids and adults alike, ends up singing along.
I hope this helps as you count down to embarkation day. With a little formal flair and some pirate mischief mixed in, your sailing is shaping up to be quite the adventure.
Sea ya real soon with a little extra warmth, wonder, and Disney magic,
Dustin
