Ahoy there, Jessica,
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your costume question! My family and I sailed on a
Halloween on the High Seas voyage last year, and let me tell you—you are in for such a spooktacular treat. From the moment you step onboard, the ship is decked out in its Halloween best—think pumpkins, flickering lanterns, and the Pumpkin Tree telling its story in the atrium. Also, Daisy, Minnie, and Clarabelle, dressed in their Sanderson Sisters costumes, were absolute showstoppers! This will always be a core memory trip.
Now, let’s sail right into your question. According to Disney Cruise Line’s
Frequently Asked Questions about attire, Disney kindly asks Guests to refrain from bringing any toys or props that resemble weapons—like guns, knives, or similar items. So, I’d recommend leaving the toy dagger at home to avoid any hiccups at boarding or the chance that it gets confiscated.
But not to worry! Your son will be so swept up in the onboard fun that he won’t even miss it. Trick-or-treating around the ship is a highlight—imagine strolling from deck to deck in costume, and collecting candy with the ocean as your backdrop.
A quick tip: once onboard, keep your
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app handy. The app will list all the Halloween festivities, from special character meet-and-greets and themed shows to the exact times and locations for trick-or-treating. That way, you won’t miss any of the ghoulish fun.
Jessica, I hope this helps as you get ready for your magical adventure at sea. If you have any additional questions, feel free to visit us again!
See ya real soon,
Christina
