    We are sailing on the Fantasy April 12-17 of 2026. Wondering which night is pirate night, and what shows we are getting? Our booking window opens in a day or two so I want to plan around all our favorite things!

    Ahoy, Shannon!

    Welcome aboard planDisney! With your booking window open, you’ve officially entered that exciting phase where the cruise stops being a countdown on the calendar and starts feeling real!

    Based on the current schedule for your Disney Fantasy sailing, let’s break down how the theme nights are shaping up. Keep in mind that entertainment schedules are always subject to change, so the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app will be your final authority once you’re onboard. Here is the current plan:
    • Day 3 (Lookout Cay) – Optional “Dress-Up” Night
    • Day 4 (Nassau) – Pirate Night

    As for the shows, while the exact nights can shuffle a bit depending on the sailing, these are the Broadway-style productions and major entertainment offerings currently available on the Fantasy:
    • Disney’s Believe
    • Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular
    • Frozen, A Musical Spectacular
    • Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party

    The Walt Disney Theatre lineup is one of my favorite parts of cruising with Disney. Each show brings its own kind of magic, whether you’re soaring on a magic carpet, singing along with Elsa, or getting misty-eyed during Believe. Once onboard, your Navigator app will lay out exactly which show is offered each night so you can plan dinners, Port Adventures, and maybe even a well-timed popcorn run.

    Speaking of popcorn, if your crew enjoys a show-night snack, a themed popcorn bucket can be a smart pickup early in the cruise. Discounted refills add up quickly, and it doubles as a souvenir that will probably still smell like butter long after you’re home.

    I hope this helps as you map out your must-dos and get ready to lock in those plans. With Pirate Night, big Broadway energy, and a ship as magical as the Fantasy, you’ve got an unforgettable lineup ahead of you!

    Sea ya real soon as the adventure continues into a bright new year,
