Ahoy Sherry!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are so excited you stopped by with this spooktacular question! A Halloween on the High Seas sailing sounds very magical for your first time onboard Disney Cruise Line! My family experienced a Halloween sailing in 2014, and it still comes up as one of our favorite cruises with Disney because of all the special offerings such as Mickey's Mouse-querade Party, Haunted Stories of the Sea, Spooky Movies, and of course the Ghoulish Delights! The gorgeous Grand Lobby Atrium will be decked out in festive holiday decor including the spooky Pumpkin Tree where you will gather the first night with your pumpkin seed to hear the story behind Halloween! Another bonus to a holiday-themed sailing is seeing the characters in their Halloween costumes! I had to have my picture taken with every single one of them because there is no way to pick a favorite!
As of now, Disney Cruise Line has not yet made an announcement about their Halloween on the High Seas sailings, but last year the sailings on the Disney Fantasy began on September 5 and ran until October 31. My fingers are crossed that your September 24 sailing will be included this year. If you don't already, be sure to follow the
Disney Parks Blog because this is where the announcement may be made first.
Thank you for visiting with your question, Sherry! I hope you will continue to use the Disney Parks Moms Panel for all your cruise questions!
Have a magical day and happy planning!
Nancy
