Ahoy, Holly!
Welcome aboard planDisney! It sounds like you’re preparing to deck the halls
aboard the Disney Treasure for a Very Merrytime sailing—what a fantasmic way to celebrate the season! One of my favorite moments is stepping into the Grand Hall on embarkation day and seeing it transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with a shimmering tree that even Queen Elsa herself would be proud of.
When it comes to what to wear to
Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party, the beauty is that there isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” answer—you’ll see everything from cruise casual to full holiday sparkle. Let’s unwrap some options:
For my family, our go-to has been matching holiday pajamas! Picture it: strolling the decks in comfy jammies, hopping into holiday crafts, then showing up at the party cozy and festive—it’s as if Chip and Dale designed the perfect holiday uniform. On our last Very Merrytime cruise, we even matched with another family completely by accident, and by the end of the night, they “adopted” us into their crew. It felt a little like being honorary toys in Andy’s room—instant family, instant fun!
Another classic? Matching shirts or festive sweaters. Think of it as your own version of the Incredibles family suit—instantly recognizable, holiday edition. Whether you go for cheerful holiday card–ready outfits or lean into a silly “ugly sweater” contest, it makes for great photos around the tree or with your favorite Disney pals in their holiday best.
Of course, you’ll also spot Guests who turn up the holiday magic with creative looks: candy cane suits, dresses with mistletoe flair, or outfits fancy enough to rival a Beauty and the Beast ballroom scene—holiday edition. One of my favorite accessories I’ve seen? A necklace of twinkling Christmas lights that made its wearer look like they’d just stepped out of Prep & Landing!
The bottom line? Just like at any Disney celebration, the most important thing is that your outfit feels fun and comfortable for you. Whether you’re cozy, silly, or dressed to impress, you’ll fit right in at this jolly gathering.
I hope this gives you some fun
ideas as you start planning your Very Merrytime party look. No matter what you choose—whether it’s cozy pajamas, a festive sweater, or a creative holiday twist—you’ll fit right in with the magic all around you!
Sea ya real soon as summer waves goodbye and autumn magic begins to shine,
