Disney Wish Halloween on the High Seas Review – Is it Worth It?

a wide shot of the Disney Wish Pumpkin Tree

My family’s first-ever cruise was a 4-night Disney Wish Halloween on the High Seas cruise. I mean, go big or go home, right?

Since 2022 marked the beginning of the Wish’s inaugural sailings, we also went into our Halloween on the High Seas cruise a bit blind.

We weren’t sure if the Disney Wish would have all of the same Halloween features and activities as the older four ships. There wasn’t a lot of info about it online from the handful of Halloween cruises that sailed before ours.

As it turns out, your expectations for Halloween on the High Seas on Disney Wish need to be very different from what you’ve seen on the first four ships. And I don’t necessarily mean for the better…

Don’t get me wrong, we LOVED our first cruise (and are scheduled to sail the Fantasy next year). But there were a few things I’d hoped for that didn’t happen, as well as things that did .

I’m happy to share everything I know about the Wish Halloween cruise with you so you’re better prepared than I was!

When do Disney Halloween cruises start?

You can set sail on a Disney Cruise Line (DCL) Halloween on the High Seas cruise starting in mid-September.

Specifically for the Wish in 2023, the spooky sailings begin on September 15th. There are 3-night and 4-night cruises available.

What ports does the Disney Wish visit on Halloween cruises?

Almost every Disney Wish Halloween on the High Seas itinerary stops at both Nassau, Bahamas, and Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island, no matter how many nights you’re cruising.

For 2023, there is a single three-night itinerary that only stops once at Castaway Cay, and that’s the very first one that leaves on September 15th.

Is a Halloween on the High Seas cruise more expensive?

While you might think a specially-themed cruise would be more expensive than, say, a regular old summertime cruise, you’d be wrong!

When we priced out cruises on the Disney Wish, the HOTHS cruises were some of the cheapest for the entire year.

This is for two main reasons:

  • Most kids are in school throughout September and October, and
  • Fall is still very much part of hurricane season.

Even taking our kids on a Wish cruise that fell on Fall Break for their school district (and therefore likely many other schools across the country, too), the price was lower than summertime.

The demand is simply much higher for summer cruises, so the price goes up accordingly.

Just be prepared for last-minute changes, delays, and even rebooking when choosing a Halloween on the High Seas cruise.

The 3-night cruise scheduled right before ours was completely canceled because of Hurricane Ian. We were extremely grateful that ours went according to plan!

Does Halloween on the High Seas have a Pirate Night?

YES, there is a Pirate Night on a Halloween Disney cruise! Disney cruise itineraries that would normally have a Pirate Night still celebrate it on Halloween cruises – even on 3-night cruises.

They usually have the two pirate deck parties on one night and Mickey’s Mouse-querade on the other so you don’t have to miss out on either of them. (But you will be pooped at the end of a three-nighter!)

What is Halloween on the High Seas like on Disney Wish?

The best way to describe a Disney Wish Halloween cruise, from a first-timer’s perspective, is… lacking.

One of the first things I did when we got to the cruise terminal was to connect to the Wish’s Wifi and browse our Halloween on the High Seas navigator for each day. That’s the official activity schedule for your cruise.

While many big things I’d been hoping for but were unsure of ended up being on the schedule, some key points I’d read about for other ships’ spooky sailings were not.

And they never showed up, despite me constantly checking the navigator for last-minute updates.

But I’ll get to that in a little bit.

Let’s talk about what the Disney Wish DOES have on its Halloween cruises!

Fall Decorations

You first step foot on the Disney Wish straight into the Grand Hall, a three-story atrium featuring a grand staircase, a stunning chandelier, and a Juliet balcony over a marble stage.

If I hadn’t been looking for Halloween touches, I might’ve missed the fall garland strung around all the balconies of the Grand Hall. The colors were just… odd.

The “greenery” was actually a very subdued gold color, with similarly metallic pumpkins attached throughout. The brightest color visible was in the red leaves.

As a lover of all orange, purple, lime, and black Halloween decor, I’d hoped for something more in-your-face. But the garland did grow on me over the course of our cruise.

And while I can’t be sure if they were exclusive to Halloween cruises on the Disney Wish, we also spotted some villainous faces on many of the porthole windows near the Grand Hall!

Other than these things (and the tree, which I’ll talk about next), I didn’t see any other Halloween – or even fall – theming throughout the ship. Color me sad.

Disney Wish Pumpkin Tree

Every older Disney cruise ship has been decorated with a large, festive Pumpkin Tree in its atrium during Halloween cruises.

The Wish, thankfully, upholds this tradition. And in my opinion, they really went the extra mile to make the Wish’s tree the most special of them all!

Rather than a goofy or spooky face in the trunk, the Wish’s tree has a rather beautiful face carved into it.

The tree is completely covered in colorful fallen leaves. And while the pumpkins hanging from it are also metallic shades of orange and gold, I actually really liked the way they looked on the tree.

Pumpkin Tree Lighting and Story

On the first night of your Halloween cruise on the Wish, you’ll see a “Pumpkin Tree Lighting” activity scheduled for around 7:45PM in the Grand Hall.

Do NOT miss this! And get there early if you want a great spot right in front of the tree. You’ll want to be somewhere between the tree and the stage if possible – trust me on this.

Also, make sure you bring your Wish wands that are handed out when you first board the ship – they’ll come in handy during the lighting!

On our sailing, the gathering started with a SURPRISE reveal of certain spooky Disney Wish characters on the stage. I won’t tell you who, but you might be able to figure it out if you keep reading! 😉

Next, a story is told by Lady Lily and Lord Leopold (new characters exclusive to the Wish) about how the ship’s pumpkin tree came to be.

Her name is Boo, and with the help of a Wishing Star, she’s able to grow “perfect” pumpkins.

As it turns out, she is the tree that grew the pumpkin that became Cinderella’s coach! Very fitting for a ship named Wish with Cinderella as the bronze statue in the Grand Hall.

When the story is over, the tree will be “lit” and you’ll finally be able to see the awesome carvings in the pumpkins in detail.

Special Halloween on the High Seas Meet and Greets

While all Disney cruises are chock full of character meet-and-greets, the Halloween cruises have some exclusive characters.

Now, they even have a trio you can’t meet anywhere in the parks!

Characters in Costumes

Just for Halloween on the High Seas, you’ll get to meet with ALL of the classic characters in special Halloween costumes.

This includes:

  • Mickey as a vampire
  • Minnie as a witch
  • Donald as a superhero
  • Daisy as a spider-lady (a black widow, perhaps?)
  • Goofy as a mummy
  • Pluto as a candy corn
  • Chip as a bucket of candy
  • Dale as a poisoned apple

These costumes are all elaborate and gorgeous. They were my favorite of the whole cruise!

NEW! The Sanderson Sisters

While not exclusive to the Disney Wish, the sisters from Hocus Pocus were a brand-new addition to Disney Cruise Line ships in 2022.

You’ll get to see Minnie as Winnie (haha), Daisy as Sarah, and Clarabelle as Mary.

They only appear together and always on the Grand Hall stage, making these some of the best pictures you can get during your cruise.

Unfortunately, they are so popular and the line gets so long every time they meet, you are shepherded onto the stage for a quick photo before being asked to step down. There’s no time for hugs or autographs.

My advice: get to one of the meets as early as you can! On our cruise, the first one was at 10:00PM the first night, and that ended up being one of the least-crowded opportunities.

Halloween Crafts

Various crafting opportunities are held throughout every Disney cruise. On the Halloween ones, though, they tend to lean to the spooky side!

You’ll spot specific Halloween craft opportunities at Edge and Vibe on the navigator.

There are also family craft events in The Bayou that may be Halloween-themed, though it’s not specified in the schedule.

Spooky Treats

While I didn’t come across a lot of Halloween-themed drinks or foods on the Disney Wish, there were a couple of seasonal standouts.

On the evening of our cruise’s Halloween celebrations, our Disney Wish dining rotation had us in Arendelle. We ordered Elsa’s Coronation Sundae for dessert.

Instead of a Frozen-themed chocolate piece on top, it had a pumpkin Mickey head chocolate square!

Cove Cafe in the adults-only area of deck 13 also had some seasonal drink offerings, including a Toasted Marshmallow and a Black Forest Latte.

I decided to try a frozen Speculoos Latte (speculoos is better known as Biscoff or cookie butter) and it was to die for (pun intended)!

Unfortunately, I never saw any other Halloween-related treats – not even on the buffet at Marceline Market. We never had a chance to check out Joyfeel Sweets, though, which may have had some seasonal offerings.

Disney Wish Trick-or-Treating

Try and finish dinner early on the night of your Halloween deck party, because Trick-or-Treating is scheduled on the pool deck around 7:15PM!

This was the second night of our 4-night cruise, but it’ll likely be the last night of a 3-night cruise (since the second night is dedicated to Pirate Night).

When we got to the pool deck, we were handed small bags with advertisements for Hocus Pocus 2 on them.

There were several stations set up around deck 11 for the kids to get handfuls of candy in them!

The deck was already so crowded by the time we got up there (because this is right before the Mouse-querade Party), we only hit two stations before trying to get a decent spot in front of the stage.

Even those two stations garnered my kids enough candy to last them through the rest of the cruise and still have some to take home!

I have also read that trick-or-treating has also been held at Hero Zone, the sports facility, on the Disney Wish. So check your navigator app to confirm the location!

Mickey’s Mouse-querade Party

The big character Halloween party on the Disney Wish was set to start at 7:45PM. For our cruise, it was on the pool deck, but apparently, it can be moved to the Grand Hall if the weather is bad.

DO. NOT. MISS. THIS.

If you’ve specifically booked a Halloween on the High Seas cruise, it would be crazy to miss the Halloween show anyway.

But even if you didn’t book based on the seasonal festivities, you are sure to LOVE this show!

It was by far my favorite deck party of the whole cruise. More than Mickey’s pirate party, more than the Parlay party, it got me SO pumped!

The music choices are simply excellent, and those characters have got some amazing dance moves.

Mickey, in particular, slayed .

This was the single event that made me truly glad we sailed Halloween on the High Seas!

Kids-Only Parties

On the Halloween night of your Wish cruise (or the Halloween/Pirate combo night, if you’re on a 3-night) there are special parties for each age group in their respective clubs.

The Oceaneer Club specifically lists a “Halloween Party” starting around 10:00PM for kids 3 to 12 years old on deck 2.

Edge and Vibe also host Halloween parties that start in their respective clubs on decks 5 and 12. They will probably be on your schedule around 10:00PM or 11:00PM, depending on your itinerary.

Halloween Movies

We really lucked out on our first Halloween cruise!

We happened to board the Disney Wish the Monday after Hocus Pocus 2 was released on Disney+. Since we’d spent the weekend before the cruise at Disney World, we hadn’t had time to watch it yet.

But just as I had hoped, Hocus Pocus 2 was shown in the Walt Disney Theatre on the one night that didn’t have a Broadway-style show scheduled.

This was actually Pirate Night on the Disney Wish , but I wasn’t complaining!

The new movie also aired several times in the Wonderland and Never Land cinemas.

In addition, the two smaller movie theaters both aired other spooky Disney movies throughout the cruise.

On our navigator, I spotted Haunted Mansion and the original Hocus Pocus .

In honor of the Day of the Dead, some Halloween cruises also show The Book of Life and Coco .

Other movies may be put into the rotation from cruise to cruise, as Disney has a rather large catalog of Halloween-themed movies.

Exclusive Halloween on the High Seas Merchandise

Every Halloween on the High Seas cruise has exclusive Halloween-themed merchandise for sale at Mickey’s Mainsail, and the Disney Wish is no different!

While I was somewhat disappointed by the overall merchandise offerings, there were plenty of Halloween shirts and accessories to be had.

The fleet-wide Halloween stateroom decor was also available for purchase before embarkation day.

What the Disney Wish Halloween Cruise Doesn’t Have

Alrighty, here’s where I have to make my confession.

After learning all about what Halloween on the High Seas is like on the four older cruise ships, I was really excited to experience those things on the brand-new Disney Wish!

Unfortunately, the Wish was lacking in a lot of DCL’s usual Halloween fanfare.

Why? I’m not sure. But I can’t imagine what could’ve happened to prevent some of the following from happening. So it seems leaving them out was simply a choice – and in my humble opinion, a terrible one.

Haunted Stories by the Sea

The Pumpkin Tree lighting is the only time you’re going to hear a Halloween-related story, and it’s not even scary.

While the haunted stories weren’t on my must-do list, it is definitely not on the Wish’s schedule at all.

Halloween Trivia

Listen, there is NO excuse for not having Halloween-themed trivia on the Disney Wish. No costumes, props, or special venues are necessary!

Halloween trivia could have easily been held at Luna, Triton Lounge, or one of the many other spaces aboard the Disney Wish.

Leaving it out was simply lazy.

Halloween Isn’t Just for Kids

I presume this adults-only Halloween party (usually featuring favorite Disney villains) didn’t happen on the Wish because of the changes in the ship’s layout.

The adult areas are no longer grouped together in a single “district,” and are instead spread out throughout deck 3 (with the sports bar Keg & Compass up on deck 5). Hallways weave between them that children also have to be able to walk through.

Still, I was pretty bummed we didn’t get to experience this event.

Personally, I think they could’ve held it in Luna (equivalent to D Lounge on older ships) and had cast members at the entrances making sure children didn’t enter.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Arguably Disney’s most popular spooky IP of all time, the only trace of anything Nightmare Before Christmas -related on the Disney Wish Halloween cruise was Jack Skellington on a porthole window.

line art of Jack Skellington on a porthole window on the Disney Wish

There was no Sing and Scream in the Walt Disney Theatre on the first night (or any other).

The movie was never aired – not once – in either of the cinemas, either.

And worst of all: there were absolutely zero meet-and-greets with Jack and Sally. Not one. And there could’ve been exactly one opportunity at midnight with a line a mile long, and I still would’ve been happy with that over nothing .

As someone who has loved NBXmas since it first came out, this was a MASSIVE letdown.

The only two places you can meet these characters are at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the Disney cruise ships, so leaving them off of a cruise ship is… cruel.

Had I known ahead of time poor old Jack wouldn’t be found anywhere on the Disney Wish, there’s a really solid chance I would’ve booked a different ship. Seriously.

Tips for a Disney Wish Halloween Cruise

If you’re like me, taking a Halloween on the High Seas cruise might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for your family.

Sure, you might cruise with Disney again, but it might not be during Halloween time!

While I honestly believe you might be better served choosing the Magic, Wonder, Fantasy, or Dream for your one-and-only Halloween Disney cruise, I’m happy to provide insight on how to make the most of a Halloween cruise on the Disney Wish.

Book a 4-Night Cruise

I know sometimes you just can’t make this choice, but if possible, DO NOT book a 3-night Halloween on the High Seas cruise.

There’s simply too much you’ll want to take part in, and too little time to do it all.

Keep in mind that on the Wish especially, there are non-Halloween characters you’re likely going to want to meet. Black Panther, Spider-Man, Chewbacca, Storm Troopers…

Now add in a long line for the Sanderson Sisters. And the eight classic characters dressed in their Halloween costumes. It’s a lot to accomplish!

If you’re willing to give up Castaway Cay time, you might be able to meet non-seasonal characters on island day so you have more time to see Halloween costumes on your Nassau day. But who wants to give up snorkeling at Castaway Cay ?

Three-night Disney Wish cruises do separate the entertainment, with Pirate Night deck parties on the second night and Mickey’s Mouse-querade on the third night. But the kids’ Halloween parties are still scheduled on Pirate Night.

Oh, and you still have your evening performance of The Little Mermaid to squeeze in on that second night.

In my opinion, that is way too much for kids to handle in one day. You’d likely have to miss out on something (or several things).

So, if at all possible, spring for the 4-night Disney Wish Halloween on the High Seas cruise. And if the Wish starts sailing longer itineraries, just go for the longest one you can.

Order the Halloween Decor from Onboard Gifts

Before you even set sail, you can log into your Disney Cruise account and purchase the Halloween stateroom decor. The items included are:

  • a sherpa blanket
  • a pumpkin Mickey pillow
  • a felt trick-or-treat bag
  • a door magnet
  • two hanging banners

It should all be set up in your Disney Wish room before you enter it for the first time on embarkation day! This is a great way to surprise your kids with something special (that they can also take home).

For 2022, this package was $97 before tax.

Get the Photo Package

If you’re not at all interested in meeting characters during your cruise, the photo package may not seem worth it to you.

But let’s be real: Why sail Halloween on the High Seas if you’re not going to get pictures with characters in costumes you can’t see any other time??

While I took my own photos of all the classic characters in their Halloween costumes rather than wait in lines, just getting the DCL photographs of my family and me with the Sanderson Sisters was worth the price to me.

We also met all the princesses, superheroes, and Star Wars characters. Your photos are also taken at dinner every night, and there are lots of opportunities for non-character photos as well.

I ended up with almost 100 pictures on our account! So to me, the Photo Package is well worth the cost.

Make Halloween Magnets for Your Door

A lot of people decorate their stateroom doors with magnets on Disney cruises, and that hasn’t changed on the Wish.

I decided to make all of our magnets myself, and I made them all Halloween themed!

First I got some Craftopia adhesive magnet sheets and glossy photo paper to print my images on. I happen to be pretty hand with Photoshop, so I designed my own Nightmare Before Christmas -themed Mickey heads with one of our names in each of them.

And since Hocus Pocus 2 was coming out and the Sanderson sisters were new to the ship, I decided to make some magnets for that as well! I put “I smell CHILDREN on the Wish” on a cauldron and found silhouettes of the sisters’ hairstyles to cut out.

All I had to do was print the images on the photo paper and cut them with my Cricut Maker 3 , cut the same shapes out of the magnet sheets (also with the Cricut), then attach the images to the sticky sides of the magnets.

If that feels like a little too much DIY for you, there are also lots of Etsy shops that make custom cruise magnets! Best Custom Magnets is a great one.

Bring Halloween Costumes

No, dressing up is not required to enjoy the Halloween festivities happening on the Disney Wish.

But I promise you will have a lot more fun if you’re dressed up. The truth is, most people are – especially on a Disney cruise.

It can be as simple or as elaborate as you want!

The four of us dressed up as Encanto characters for our cruise using primarily Goodwill finds and a little sewing.

My kids also dressed up as Belle, Elsa, and Spider-Man over the course of our Disney Wish cruise… but those didn’t have anything to do with it being Halloween, haha!

Halloween on the High Seas Costume Rules

All Halloween on the High Seas costumes must meet DCL’s guidelines for dressing up, or they may be confiscated (or you may be asked to leave an event).

The rules are very reasonable and straightforward.

  • Everything should be family-friendly. Don’t wear anything too gory or scary, anything with profanity, or any depictions of violence.
  • Don’t wear anything bulky. For example, don’t bring an inflatable dinosaur costume or anything that extends beyond the space your body would normally occupy.
  • Try not to be offensive. Use common sense here! Avoid blackface, dressing as Jesus Christ, or playing Hitler. Disney cruises are not the time to be provocative.
  • Don’t bring fake guns, knives, or other weapons. Doesn’t matter how “fake” it looks, they simply aren’t allowed. The ONLY exception to this rule is toy swords that are clearly toys, such as those made of foam or glow sticks.
  • Full-face masks must be carried around the ship. You can only put them on when taking pictures with characters (like my son did when he met Spider-Man).

  • Don’t pretend you’re part of the cast. You can’t pose for photos with other guests as if you work for DCL, nor can you sign any autographs.

Make Use of the DCL Navigator App

There has been some resistance amongst veteran cruisers to using their phones rather than paper navigators, and frankly, I can’t figure out why (other than stubbornness).

Having the full schedule in the palm of your hand via the DCL Navigator app is SUPER convenient.

You’ll be able to see if there are any last-minute changes to events, times, or locations. You can scroll through and “heart” the events you don’t want to miss to get a 15-minute heads-up before it starts.

And let’s be real: like it or not, most of us are carrying our phones 24/7 these days anyway.

Even if you’re not that kind of person, keeping it in your pocket to access the Navigators does not mean you have to use the phone for anything else during your cruise. (I didn’t!)

Just don’t buy the Wifi and there will be nothing to distract you from enjoying everything the ship has to offer!

Is Halloween on the High Seas worth it?

Would I do it all over again? Truthfully, I think I’d still book a Halloween cruise, just on a different ship, and for two reasons:

  • The Disney Wish didn’t offer some key elements I’d been hoping for (like Jack and Sally), and
  • A 3- or 4-night cruise is simply not enough time – and that’s all the Wish is offering right now.

But every cruiser’s wants and needs are different, so use this information to make the best choice for you and your family.

Hopefully, all of this information will help you decide whether or not to book a Disney Wish Halloween on the High Seas cruise!

Still on the fence? Take a tour inside the Disney Wish Star Wars bar (Hyperspace Lounge). It just might sway you!

Make sure you read my complete Disney Wish review for all the secrets about the new ship.

And speaking of special events, we scored seats at Olaf’s Royal Picnic . Find out if it’s really worth that crazy price tag!

Disney Wish Cruise Review (Our Experience with Halloween on the High Seas)

Home » Firefly Blog » Disney Wish Cruise Review (Our Experience with Halloween on the High Seas)

Share this post!

In this article, we provide a review of the Disney Wish. We’ll discuss our experience on the 5-day, 4-night Halloween on the High Seas Cruise. Our ports of call for this sailing include Nassau, Bahamas and Castaway Cay.

Bon Voyage! I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to hear those words roll off my tongue again. If you’ve had the opportunity to cruise with Disney Cruise Line, I’m sure you understand.

There’s nothing like it. From the moment you step on board, life has changed, at least for the length of your sailing. You are no longer tied down to a job or at the beck and call of text messages and social media alerts.

Of course, you can always buy an internet package if you need to be alerted. But that kills the whole cruising vibe of being out of reach.

We recently cruised out of Cape Canaveral, Florida, on the new Disney Wish. Not only did we experience a Halloween on the High Seas sailing, but our sail date was on Halloween.

However, since our departure date was exceptionally busy, we waited until the following day to celebrate the holiday. No worries, once you’re out at sea, it becomes difficult to distinguish between the days.

As you may know, a cruise can be as busy as you want or relaxed. Our cruise was a bit of both.

Below, I’ll share our day-by-day itinerary. Of course, some of us went our separate ways here and there to do things we enjoyed.

But ultimately, we met up for dinner each evening. As always, there’s one exception. That exception was Kristen’s son, who spent most of the cruise living his best life at The Oceaneer’s Club.

Disney Wish Day One Itinerary (Arrival and Boarding the Ship)

How do you get to the ship? This is one of the most commonly asked questions first-time cruisers ask. Thankfully, Disney makes it easy.

When sailing out of Cape Canaveral, most will fly into Orlando’s airport (MCO) and take ground transportation to the cruise terminal. Disney provides transfers from the airport or various Walt Disney World Hotels for $78.00 per person roundtrip.

Other options include hiring a private car service, or shuttle service, using Uber or Lyft, renting a car, or driving your vehicle. As your travel agent, we can help you decide which option suits your needs.

Since I live in Orlando, I drove my car to the terminal. Disney makes it simple to park and board the shuttle.

When you first arrive, porters are waiting to collect your luggage. You can see in the picture below where guests pull up and unload under a covered area.

disney cruise halloween wish

If you elect to use a porter, you will need to tip them. From that point, you’ll move forward to park your car and go through security. You will see your luggage later in the day when it shows up in the hallway outside your room.

It costs us $90.00 to park in the parking deck for a five-day, four-night cruise.

A walkway on the third floor of the parking deck goes directly inside the cruise terminal. It took less than 15 minutes to get through both areas.

After you get through customs, there’s a large room where guests wait until their boarding group is called. We got there reasonably early, and they had only started boarding. Overall, we waited approximately 30 minutes until our boarding group was called.

Then you join a line to board the ship.

Here we go!

After boarding the ship, our priority was to complete the muster drill. A muster drill is a required safety exercise where you go to a designated location to check in with a crew member. We also had to sign in to the mobile app and certify that we had found our area.

Muster drills are mandatory and designed to help passengers locate the area where they are to go in the event of an emergency.

After completing our safety check, I noticed that Captain Minnie was greeting guests. So we stopped for a photo. Then we headed up deck 11 to have lunch at Marceline Market.

disney cruise halloween wish

Marceline Market is a buffet that’s open daily for breakfast and lunch. It’s located on the aft side of the ship.

To eat at Marceline Market, all you have to do is walk in, prepare a plate, select a drink, and then find a table. A server will stop by from time to time to collect any dishes you’ve finished.

Regarding come-and-go dining options, you can also get lunch and dinner at the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods. These quick services have walk-up windows located on deck 11 near the ship’s pools.

  • Mickey’s Barbecue
  • Donald’s Cantina
  • Daisy’s Pizzas
  • Goofy’s Grill
  • Minnie’s Ice Cream

After lunch, it was past 1:00 p.m., so we decided to see if our room was ready. Thankfully, our keys were in an envelope at the door to our room.

Our Stateroom on the Disney Wish

Staterooms on the Wish are themed to various Disney animated films. For example, our room featured elements from  Cinderella .

Below we’ll preview our deluxe ocean-view stateroom with a verandah. This room sleeps up to three guests and has a partially obstructed view from the balcony.

The other door in the cabin opens to the water closet, where you have a vanity and toilet. All deluxe staterooms will have a split bath. However, interior staterooms do not.

disney cruise halloween wish

We found plenty of storage space with two built-in closets for hanging items. A third closet partition offered shelving space, an in-room safe, and a shoe rack.

disney cruise halloween wish

Here is the view from inside our room.

disney cruise halloween wish

Here is our verandah with two chairs and a small table.

disney cruise halloween wish

Whoever sits toward the back side of the balcony will have a partially obstructed view. However, with so little time in the room, it was fine for us.

disney cruise halloween wish

When I finished taking room photos, it was getting close to 4:00 p.m. So we had to head back upstairs for the Disney Wish Sail Away Party.

There’s no better way to kick off your cruise than with a party. Yes, it is crowded. But Disney brings out all the characters for the party and sets the tone for the rest of the cruise.

If you want to secure a good spot, I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the party. Also, make sure to have plenty of sunscreen applied!

(Night One) Dinner at Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure

Disney’s Wish offers three main restaurants for dinner that are included with the cruise fare. You’ll dine at each of these restaurants during the rotational dining process.

If you’re on a four-night cruise, you’ll dine at one of the locations a second time throughout your sailing. Ideally, you would plan to dine at one of the signature dining locations on the evening you had a repeat location. However, both of the two fine dining restaurants require reservations and are out-of-pocket.

Dinner on our first night was at Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure. This experience includes a performance while you dine.

disney cruise halloween wish

Since we were a party of six, we were seated at a large table. You’ll receive a table assignment upon arrival and sit at the same table night each evening. Additionally, you’ll have the same wait staff each evening except for fine dining.

disney cruise halloween wish

During our meal, characters from Frozen appeared on stage in the middle of the room.

disney cruise halloween wish

Overall, Arendelle was a fun dining experience. Since we sat toward the back of the room, we didn’t have to be invested in the performance. But if we were closer, it would have had our full attention.

disney cruise halloween wish

Since most of the dining rooms were fairly dark, I didn’t get the best photos. So here are a few of the items we had at this meal.

First, this is Anna’s Koldtbord consisting of smoked salmon, smoked trout, salmon gravlax, shrimp, and a dill honey mustard. Unfortunately, this was a little fishier than most of us would have liked.

disney cruise halloween wish

Next the Troll Valley Baby Field Greens Salad contains brioche croutons, candied walnuts, and lingonberry dressing. It’s hard to go wrong with such a simple salad.

disney cruise halloween wish

From the kettle portion of the menu, we have carrot soup. It was fine.

disney cruise halloween wish

Here we have Elsa’s Royal Baked Scallops. Per the menu, this is a shrimp tarragon bisque with rainbow carrots, leeks, and a flaky pastry. This dish was well-received.

disney cruise halloween wish

As far as entrees go, there are a variety of options. However, I learned early on that often it’s better to consider the “lighter options” portion of the menu.

While a steak with a baked potato is not necessarily lighter, these menu items were more quality. One evening, I only ordered a baked potato. And if you see fit, you are welcome to do the same.

disney cruise halloween wish

Here is King Agnaar’s roasted pork tenderloin. This dish was much larger than it looked. Unfortunately, I didn’t try this dish, so I can’t comment on the taste.

disney cruise halloween wish

Lastly, we all tried the Troll’s Family Rock chocolate bar for dessert. It was another darling presentation.

disney cruise halloween wish

Disney Wish Itinerary Evening Entertainment (Night One)

After dinner, we headed to the Grand Hall to see the lighting of the pumpkin tree. This ceremony happens nightly at approximately 7:30 p.m. between dinner services. It is exclusive to the Halloween on the High Seas cruise.

disney cruise halloween wish

As you can see from the photo below, the area fills up. It gets crowded because many of us have just finished dinner while the rest are awaiting late dinner service. Those waiting for dinner have already been to the evening’s entertainment offering.

disney cruise halloween wish

After the tree-lighting ceremony, another special surprise was waiting behind the curtain.

disney cruise halloween wish

The Sanderson Sisters (Disney characters version) joined the stage with a song and dance number. As you can imagine, the crowd went wild.

disney cruise halloween wish

After the Sanderson Sisters exited, it was time for us to head to the Walt Disney Theatre for our evening entertainment.

One extra special entertainment offering is available each evening. This evening was Disney Seas the Adventure , a new musical spectacular that shares the story of friendship and inspires the audience to follow their dreams.

Unfortunately, Disney doesn’t allow photography or videos in these Broadway-style performances. But I can assure you that you will want to attend all three musicals offered during your sailing. They were all astounding.

disney cruise halloween wish

After such a busy day, we parted ways, and I returned to the room. A towel sea turtle was waiting. Each evening, the cabin steward will turn your throw (or towels) into a fantastic creation while you’re out.

disney cruise halloween wish

Disney Wish Day Two Itinerary (Day at Sea)

We were up and ready for breakfast reasonably early on day two, which is spent at sea. For breakfast, you have two choices.

First, there’s Marceline Market, where we had lunch the first day. Secondly, you can opt for a table service breakfast at 1923.

We decided to try a leisurely breakfast at 1923. There are two sides to the restaurant, Roy and Walt. For breakfast, it doesn’t matter so much which side you choose. But in the evening, you will be assigned to one side.

We were given a menu upon arrival and ordered several items. First, here is the fruit platter.

disney cruise halloween wish

Then we had a meat and cheese selection.

disney cruise halloween wish

I had oatmeal with turkey sausage.

disney cruise halloween wish

Unfortunately, the sausage was almost too tough to eat.

disney cruise halloween wish

Anna requested a custom plate, and our servers brought what she requested. Since these things are included in the cruise fare, no one cares what you order as long as it’s available.

disney cruise halloween wish

After breakfast, we went our separate ways. I stopped at the Wishing Star Cafe to order a coffee with Mickey Mouse. Fun fact, the design is made with carrot juice.

However, you’ll want to know this is an extra cost item. Coffee and other complimentary beverages are available all day at the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods.

disney cruise halloween wish

Since we had a day at sea, I decided to hit the gym. Usually, I would enjoy walking on one of the upper levels first thing in the morning.

Unfortunately, the Wish doesn’t have a dedicated walking trail like most ships. You can walk around some of the lower levels. But the walk requires going up and down staircases on each side and cutting through the ship’s interior on one end.

disney cruise halloween wish

After a lap or two, I gave up and decided to hit the treadmill. Senses Fitness Center on the Disney Wish is impressive. The long layout of the space allows for a good amount of equipment and provides enough room for everyone to have their own space, even when it’s crowded.

disney cruise halloween wish

These photos were taken in the evening when the areas were more open. While we didn’t schedule any services at Senses during our cruise, we did tour the spa one evening.

disney cruise halloween wish

Senses is a tremendous spa with and indoor and outdoor area.

disney cruise halloween wish

They have an ice lounge.

disney cruise halloween wish

And there’s a Laconium.

disney cruise halloween wish

A Laconium is a dry sweating room where the temperature is more comfortable than a sauna.

disney cruise halloween wish

Overall, Senses Spa is a relaxing place worthy of a special appointment during your cruise.

disney cruise halloween wish

As for the rest of our day at sea, our group ended up at the pool. Disney movies are played all day long on the big screen. You can easily see the screen from most chairs on the main deck.

Additionally, we took a few minutes this afternoon to ride the AquaMouse, Disney’s first attraction at sea. The AquaMouse is a waterslide attraction that extends out over the ocean. It’s a must-do for guests at least once during the cruise!

(Night Two) Dinner at 1923 and The Little Mermaid

Our first day at sea passed ever so quickly. Before we knew it, it was time for dinner and entertainment. This evening Kristen and her family had dining reservations at Palo, which left Anna and me returning to 1923 for rotational dining.

Here are a few of the items we tried. First, we have the Hyperion Four-Cheese Tricolor Tortelloni.

disney cruise halloween wish

My appetizer was the Kingswell Duck Confit Pastilla.

disney cruise halloween wish

From the kettle, I tried the Pulled Guinea Hen Chowder. Unfortunately, this tasted like watered down corn.

disney cruise halloween wish

Anna ordered another appetizer, the Burrata Cheese with Prosciutto.

disney cruise halloween wish

And I tried the Fennel Bartlett Pear and Tatsoi Salad. This was a tasty salad.

disney cruise halloween wish

Anna ordered the Lobster Salad from The Lighter Side portion of the menu. It was a basic salad with a solid serving of lobster. I would order this again on a return cruise.

disney cruise halloween wish

We also ordered the 1923 Peppered Filet Mignon to share, which our server recommended.

disney cruise halloween wish

And I ordered the Tortiglioni Pasta, which sounded promising. But, unfortunately, this dish was bland, with hardly any flavor, except for the salty bites of pancetta.

disney cruise halloween wish

For dessert, I decided to play it safe with the Hollywood Hills Chocolate Fudge Sundae. While this dessert is as basic as it gets, it was the best thing I had all evening.

disney cruise halloween wish

Anna ordered the Atwater Fuji Apple Cheesecake, which she enjoyed.

disney cruise halloween wish

Our server also brought out the restaurant’s signature dessert, the Burbank Blueberry-Lemon Bavarian Cream. This was a beautiful presentation, but we found it fairly generic regarding taste.

disney cruise halloween wish

Also, this evening was Halloween, and our servers brought a fun chocolate spider to the table.

disney cruise halloween wish

While we had a large amount of food for two people, we didn’t eat that much. Most of our plates were sent back and hardly touched. So, unfortunately, 1923 was our least favorite dining experience on the cruise.

After dinner, we decided to get seats early for A Treasure Retold–Disney The Little Mermaid . On the previous evening, we saw the play from the balcony. So I wanted to sit as close to the front as possible for this play to compare.

We had the best time and it felt like we were part of the play. While all the shows we saw on the Wish are worthy of five stars, this was my favorite.

disney cruise halloween wish

After the play, we returned to our room and found a pumpkin, which was appropriate, considering it was Halloween! Also, I forgot to mention many of the guests were dressed in full costumes this evening.

disney cruise halloween wish

Disney Wish Day Three Itinerary (Nassau, Bahamas Port of Call)

When we woke up the following day, we were docked at Nassau. Anna had arranged for us to take a travel agent tour of Sandals Royal Bahamian. Kristen and her family planned to visit Atlantis, one of the recommended excursions listed in the Disney Cruise Line app.

disney cruise halloween wish

Anna and I were in the first group of guests off the ship. I took a photo of the sign below as we exited. It reminds you that all guests should be aboard the ship by 4:45 p.m. Also, you were required to have your Key to the World Card (room key), photo ID, and a form for minors where applicable.

disney cruise halloween wish

We were told to leave our passports locked in our room safe at this port of call.

After disembarking the ship, we took a bus to Sandals Royal Bahamian. Our bus driver let us out across the street from the entrance.

disney cruise halloween wish

While we were visiting for a tour, this resort sells day passes. So during our visit, we were treated to breakfast, lunch, cocktails, and free time at the beach and the pool.

disney cruise halloween wish

We had a wonderful day enjoying the resort.

disney cruise halloween wish

Nassau’s clear waters were stunning.

disney cruise halloween wish

After lunch, we toured several of the rooms and suites at the resort. As travel agents, we take advantage of as many tours as possible. These experiences help us pinpoint the perfect destinations to recommend to our clients.

After our tour, the front desk secured a driver to take us back to the cruise terminal. It was time to get ready for a special evening at Enchante, the Disney Cruise Line’s newest fine dining experience.

(Night Three) Dinner at Enchante and Pirate’s Night

Kristen had managed to finagle us a table for six at Enchante this evening. So we were all excited to dine here after our day in the Bahamas.

disney cruise halloween wish

We had a lovely evening with multiple courses, a cheese cart, and two desserts. Yes, two! Our dining experience lasted well over two hours.

Since this was such an elaborate meal, we have a separate article that details the experience.

Related: Enchante Review on the Disney Wish

disney cruise halloween wish

After dinner, there was the option to attend a Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party, followed by fireworks at sea. While my theme song might go to the tune of “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate’s Life for Me,” this pirate was tuckered out for the evening.

So I elected to go to the room and watch Disney movies on television until the ocean rocked me to sleep. It didn’t take long.

To my surprise, a pirate was waiting. This is a pirate, right?

disney cruise halloween wish

Disney Wish Day Four Itinerary (Castaway Cay)

Castaway Cay was our best day. It was the most relaxing day and the perfect place to spend the entire last day of our cruise. These things do go by quickly, don’t they?

When I awoke this morning, our view was stunning. Before this trip, I had yet to visit the Bahamas. So while I’ve seen the clear waters of the Caribbean before, I couldn’t get over the clarity in the Bahamas.

disney cruise halloween wish

There’s no wonder why so many travelers visit this destination regularly.

disney cruise halloween wish

Since this was a leisurely day, I ended up at Marceline Market for breakfast. This time I dined outside with a view of Castaway Cay in the distance.

disney cruise halloween wish

After breakfast, I gathered my beach attire and tennis shoes and headed to the island. To my surprise, several characters were greeting guests.

disney cruise halloween wish

Pluto and Goofy were already having fun in the sun!

disney cruise halloween wish

It was also cool to see the Wish in the distance. When we were at Nassau, the Wish was surrounded by other ships.

disney cruise halloween wish

Castaway Cay has a tram that takes you to various points on the island. You’ll want to take it if you have small children or have a load to carry.

disney cruise halloween wish

There are several stops along the way. I walked to Pelican Point and boarded the tram to Serenity Bay. Anna had gotten there early and found us a seat.

disney cruise halloween wish

Serenity Bay, the adult-only beach, is about the farthest public destination on the island. Walking there from the ship would take about 30 minutes or so.

disney cruise halloween wish

Here is the view from my chair. We spent the morning at this beach and then had lunch at Castaway Air BBQ. They had hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, potato chips, various salads, fresh fruit, and other items you might find at a barbecue.

disney cruise halloween wish

After lunch, we spent a little more time at Serenity Bay.

disney cruise halloween wish

Then we decided to rent bicycles to explore the island.

disney cruise halloween wish

Bikes cost $13.00 per rental, and you’ll need your Key to the World card to rent one.

disney cruise halloween wish

We rode bikes down the old airstrip. Trams use part of the strip to transport guests across the island.

disney cruise halloween wish

Several bike paths are available. One way leads to a lookout tower.

disney cruise halloween wish

We parked our bikes and climbed the tower.

disney cruise halloween wish

It was shocking to see the Disney Wish look so tiny in the distance.

disney cruise halloween wish

I cannot say enough good things about Castaway Cay. I would have been happy to have two days here instead of one.

disney cruise halloween wish

We rode our bikes down a few more paths.

disney cruise halloween wish

We passed a few private cabanas. A cabana rental might be ideal if you’re looking for a bit of privacy and extra shade.

disney cruise halloween wish

Then we headed over to Pelican Point to see if we could find Kristen and her family.

disney cruise halloween wish

We met up with the rest of our group and spent the afternoon together.

disney cruise halloween wish

Anna was interested in doing the Castaway 5K, so she inquired about how it worked. She ended up getting us a medal for a photograph.

Since the 5K is informal, anyone can complete it when they want. But I recommend getting it out of the way first thing in the morning before the sun gets too high. A cast member will provide you with a medal when you finish.

disney cruise halloween wish

While we were at Pelican Point, a fish swam by several times. I took a photo to show the clarity of the water.

disney cruise halloween wish

Before we knew it, it was time to head back for our last evening aboard the ship.

disney cruise halloween wish

Some days you don’t want to end. This was one of them.

disney cruise halloween wish

We slowly made our way back to the Wish.

disney cruise halloween wish

A few people were still participating in add-on experiences.

disney cruise halloween wish

It was a lovely walk back to the ship.

disney cruise halloween wish

A sign overhead reads, “See Ya Later, Mon.”

disney cruise halloween wish

I also used this opportunity to get a close-up of Rapunzel, who resides at the ship’s stern.

disney cruise halloween wish

(Night Four) Dinner at Worlds of Marvel and Aladdin

After boarding the ship, it was time to get ready for dinner at Worlds of Marvel. This was our final restaurant rotation and the one place we’d yet to eat.

For reference, had we not went to Enchante the night before, we would have been at 1923 again.

disney cruise halloween wish

Worlds of Marvel is a large restaurant with screens near each table.

disney cruise halloween wish

Additionally, every table has a Quantum Core device that children (or adults) can interact with from time to time during dinner. Often, throughout the meal, lights in the restaurant dim.

Ant Man and The Wasp appear on screen during the meal explaining some of the secrets behind Pym particles. However, the meal gets disrupted and you’re left to help fight the bad guys.

Thankfully, it all works out in the end. Also, there’s special appearance by Ant Man and The Wasp. They walk through the restaurant thanking every one for their help.

disney cruise halloween wish

Since this was our last evening, we had one more Broadway-style show to attend after dinner. This evening’s entertainment was Aladdin, and it was spectacular.

After dinner, we visited a couple of lounges. Then, when we came back to the room, we were greeted by our last towel animal. It’s a puppy right?

disney cruise halloween wish

Before we wrap things up, I wanted to share a few other photos from our Halloween on the High Seas Cruise on the Disney Wish.

disney cruise halloween wish

The entire ship is gorgeous.

disney cruise halloween wish

Every where you look, there are special details.

disney cruise halloween wish

Cinderella’s glass slipper is on display in The Grand Hall.

disney cruise halloween wish

This is also where you’ll find her statue.

disney cruise halloween wish

This rose was on display at The Rose Lounge that sits between Enchante and Palo.

disney cruise halloween wish

Luna is one of the more casual theaters on the Disney Wish. One evening they had a silent disco party in this space.

disney cruise halloween wish

Here is the Bayou Lounge.

disney cruise halloween wish

And, of course, we couldn’t forget the Star Wars : Hyperspace Lounge.

disney cruise halloween wish

Lastly, Joyful Sweets is located on deck 11. All of the items here will cost extra.

disney cruise halloween wish

However, I think most will agree, it’s worth a visit at least once during your sailing.

disney cruise halloween wish

It all looked delicious.

disney cruise halloween wish

Here are a few more treats.

disney cruise halloween wish

Overall, we had an amazing time on this fun and family-friendly sailing. If you’re considering a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise or any other cruise, please reach out to us.

First Look at Halloween on the High Seas on the Disney Wish

The enchantment of the already-gorgeous Grand Hall is elevated with beautiful garland ordained with pumpkins and fall florals.

But of course, the highlight of the décor is the all-new Pumpkin Tree. Every Disney Cruise Line ship features a signature Pumpkin Tree in its atrium with a unique look and personality, and the tree on the Disney Wish features lighter bark, graceful branches and a mystical face, setting it apart from the rest. As the tale would have it, this enchanted tree – named Boo! – grew perfect gourds with the help of a Wishing Star at night, producing the perfect pumpkin that became the coach that carried Cinderella to the Prince’s Ball.

First Look at Halloween on the High Seas on the Disney Wish

Also new this season, we’re putting a spell on Disney Cruise Line guests with a wickedly fun character meet and greet opportunity. While all characters on board adorn Halloween costumes as part of the festivities, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck and Clarabelle Cow can be found running amuck on each ship as their favorite Halloween sisters, the Sandersons from the movie “Hocus Pocus.”

Halloween on the High Seas Disney Cruise Guide

Halloween on the High Seas Disney Cruise Guide

Ready to set sail on the high seas during the spookiest time of the year? We love Halloween. And cruising during a Halloween on the High Seas cruise has been one of our all-time favorite vacations to date.  So we’ve compiled a guide perfect for helping you plan and knowing what to expect during a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise with the Disney Cruise Line.

Disney Halloween Cruise Planning

Planning a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise is really no different than planning most other Disney Cruises.  With a few magical extras, the Disney cruise ships are transformed into a Halloween wonderland. We’ll go into all the spooky details in this post!

Disney’s Halloween on the High Seas Cruise

Halloween on the High Seas is a special event cruise complete with decorations, festive foods, parties, and more. Each ship and itinerary may feature its own kind of fun, but the basics of this special cruise remain the same no matter where you are sailing! 

Which Disney Cruise Ships have Halloween on the High Seas Cruise?

Every Disney Cruise ship has the ability to offer Halloween on the High Seas, including Disney Cruise Line’s New Disney Wish Cruise Ship ! Previously, we had sailed on the Disney Magic for Halloween on the High Seas and most recently the Disney Wish. 

Disney Cruise Line Excursions

What Ports Do You Visit on a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise?

Halloween on the High Seas cruises are not tied to specific ports but rather offered in the fall months. So ports and Itineraries will change from year to year, and your best bet is to check Disney Cruise Line’s Official site for dates and ports of call offered for Halloween on the High Seas cruises .  Due to the time of year, many itineraries are available so you can sail to places like Jamaica, The Bahamas, Eastern Caribbean or enjoy a cold-weather cruise like New England and Canada .  Once in a while you can even find a Panama Canal sailing during Halloween on the High Seas!

Is Halloween on the High Seas Cruises more expensive?  

It really depends! Although generally specialty cruises can be a little more expensive, Halloween on the High Seas Cruises are often during hurricane season and that can help you snag a great deal.  Also, some of the itineraries and ships that tend to be a little less popular are less expensive. When we cruised from New York City to Maine and Canada, our 5-night cruise was actually about the same price as our 3 night Very Merrytime in the Caribbean . 

There are a lot of things that can affect the pricing of specific cruises. So don’t let the idea of it potentially being more expensive keep you from dreaming of a Halloween-themed cruise. Because that is not always the case!

What Should You Pack for a Halloween Cruise?

We love a theme! So we say, pack all the Halloween things you can! Ok just kidding. But seriously, there are a few things you might want to pack for a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise. If you want to dress up for the festivities, don’t forget a costume. And be sure to review the rules for costumes onboard. Truthfully, there are not a lot of extra things that need to be packed for a Halloween cruise. But, if you want a good list, check out our What to Pack for a Disney Halloween Cruise post. 

What Halloween Extras Can You Get to Make the Experience Special?

There are always extras available to add a bit of festivity to your stateroom! I surprised my daughter with an onboard gift specific to the season, which costs extra and comes fully assembled in your room upon arrival. Ours included a fleece blanket, pillow, trick or treat bag, and glow-in-the-dark ghosts hanging from our ceiling. During our sailing, the cost of this onboard gift was $75, but the prices do vary from year to year. That is a little bit high, but since we don’t tend to go crazy with souvenir spending, I just factored into the cost of goodies we may have wanted to splurge onboard. 

If you want to see what’s available for your cruise, just link your Disney Cruise Reservation , and you’ll be able to see what is available for your sailing.  

What are the Halloween decorations like on a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise?

One of the most noticeable and constant- reminders that you are on a Halloween on the High Seas cruise is the decorations! Onboard you will find Disney-themed carved pumpkins, fall foliage garland, and the pumpkin tree! You will also see lots of Halloween magic sprinkled throughout like window clings, fall ribbon, and pumpkin decor. Check out what the Disney Magic Cruise Ship Halloween Decorations looked like in our photo tour. 

Disney Cruise Halloween on the High Seas

Halloween on the High Seas Activities

There are many Halloween activities onboard a Disney Cruise at Halloweentime! Here’s a recap of everything we’ve experienced on our Halloween on the High Seas sailings!

Mickey’s Mouse-querade

Mickey’s Mouse-querade was probably our favorite event of the entire Halloween on the High Seas cruise.  A dance party with all of our favorite characters dressed in full Halloween attire, trick or treating, festive character meet and greets, and games, this party is fun for all ages.  Trick or Treat bags are left in guests staterooms the day of the party so no need to worry about bringing your own. 

You don’t have to dress up for this one, but it’s a lot more fun if you do! We ended up being so busy before our cruise that Halloween costumes kind of slipped my mind. So my daughter and I both just decked ourselves out in Halloween attire that we had accumulated from Walt Disney World over the years and it worked out just fine. If you’re looking to save room in your luggage but still want to dress up, you can always double up your Pirate Night costume as a Halloween costume as well! This party can get pretty crowded; but if you want to be where all the action is, head to the atrium. Or head to decks 4 and 5 for a great view with fewer crowds.  

Edited for 2022: Mickey’s Mousequerade has been seen to be held in both the atrium on the smaller ships, and on deck 11 on the larger ships. On our recent Disney Wish sailing, this event was held on deck 11 and we had a great view from deck 13! Trick or treating was also not involved in this party. Rather, it was held in Hero Zone at certain times noted in the app. We recommend arriving early for the best experience!

The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing and Scream is an interactive movie experience. With 3D animation and 4D effects, this is a fun show for any Nightmare Before Christmas fan. Unfortunately for us, there was some sort of issue with the effects and well, it wasn’t really a whole lot different than just watching Nightmare Before Christmas on the big screen.  And during our Halloween on the High Seas cruise, this was actually during Mickey’s Mouse-querade Party and we left halfway through because we knew we’d rather be at the party.  As much as we love Nightmare Before Christmas, we preferred to be where the action is. 

This is, however, your opportunity to meet Jack and Sally, which I know for many people is a big deal. So if you’re excited about that, the meet and greet with Jack and Sally is directly after the Sing and Scream. And with that being said, if it wasn’t held during the same time as the party, and had all of the original effects we had planned to see, we likely would have stayed all the way to the end. 

Edited for 2022 : On our most recent Disney Cruise on the Disney Wish, Hocus Pocus was played instead of the sing along. We haven’t heard yet if this is a permanent change or just one made for the Wish. But wanted to note it!

Character Meet and Greets

Character Meet and Greets happen all throughout your sailing and outfits may change each time. Not all meet and greets during a Halloween on the High Seas cruise will be Halloween-themed, but all of the ones during Mickey’s Mousequerade will be! There are other opportunities other than Party night to find your favorite characters in costume. When you get the Navigator each day, or when you check the app for your daily activities, you can see who will be available for a meeting that day! It will give you the location and time so you can plan accordingly. *NEW* Minnie, Daisy and Clarabell don the iconic Hocus Pocus Sanderson costumes, for their spookiest Halloween meet and greet yet! 

The lines for characters are usually not terribly long, but we recommend getting there close to the start time as Cast Members will “close” the line when the character’s time slot is almost over.  The Sanderson Sisters line gets very long, so we recommend arriving early. They will close this line once it appears to be at the 40-50 minute mark. So plan ahead if you want to see them! We arrived 20 mins early and ended up waiting a total of about 35 mins.

The Pumpkin Tree

The Pumpkin Tree may seem like just a decoration but it’s far more than that! On the first night of our cruise, we got to meet the Caretaker, who told the tree’s story. Since we were on the Disney Magic, our tree was named Reap. The caretaker then lights the tree for the remainder of the cruise. This is the only time you can see the lighting of the pumpkin tree, so we don’t recommend you miss it! The pumpkin tree serves as a backdrop for many of the photo ops during the cruise. And he even plays a fun part during the Mouse-querade Party!

The Disney Wish welcomes a new Halloween Tree this year. Known as Boo, she represents the story of Cinderella. If you’re sailing on the Disney Wish, they also light up the wishing star to match the Halloween vibe. 

Haunted Stories By The Sea

On select nights, you can cozy up on the main pool deck and watch this spooky feature on the jumbo screen.  A mysterious sailor tells ghost stories and occasionally the cast members join in on the fun. This was probably one of the lowest crowd events in terms of entertainment, but that could also be because nights were really cold and most people had retired to their rooms at that point. 

Edited for 2022: This was not present on our cruise, 

What other Halloween activities are there?

Aside from all of the events and entertainment, there are also lots of Halloween activities available onboard! Halloween crafts, Halloween-themed “Anyone Can Cook” demos and Halloween-themed trivia are just a few of the festive activities you can find on a Halloween on the High Seas cruise.  In addition to regular Halloween fun available to everyone, the kid’s clubs also have fun Halloween activities for little ones. Pumpkin carving, crafts, face painting, and more are just a few things your kids can enjoy. 

Halloween on the High Seas

Halloween on the High Seas Spooky Treats

If there was one thing I would have loved more of onboard the Disney Magic for Halloween on the High Seas, it would be the spooky treats! The treats aren’t really announced or published anywhere; but you can find them at places like Cove Cafe, Cabanas during lunch, and even the occasional seasonal treat during your regular meal.  In addition to all of the spooky treats, you can find pumpkin-spiced everything onboard as well!

disney cruise pirate night

Is there Pirate Night during Halloween on the High Seas?

Pirate Night is a fan favorite and for good reason! Not all cruises have Pirate Night; but all of the ones we’ve been on have, even cruises that are not in the Caribbean. We sailed in the North Atlantic for our Halloween on the High Seas cruise and we still had a Pirates Night. Truthfully I was surprised by this since the event is literally called Pirates in the Caribbean, but I can’t complain because we love Pirate Night! You’ll be able to tell if your cruise includes Pirate Night when you receive your itinerary so that you can plan accordingly. 

With a special meal, fun entertainment, and appearances from all of your favorite characters dressed in pirate gear, Pirate Night is not to be missed! Many families dress up with the theme, and while it’s not mandatory, it’s definitely fun. One thing that makes Pirate Night extra special on a Halloween on the High Seas cruise is that it gives cruisers the opportunity to dress up twice! 

Is there an Adult only Halloween Party onboard Halloween on the High Seas?

Halloween isn’t just for kids! Adult-only Halloween fun can be had on a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise. So whether you’re a solo cruiser, a childless cruiser, or a parent needing a break, this is for you! There’s a costume contest, music, and dancing. And creepy cocktails of course! So get ready for this Villainous takeover and dance the night away! The location for this event will vary by ship, but you can find all the info in the navigator. 

Edited for 2022: The Halloween Party for adults seems to be put on pause for this year. However, you can still find spooky fun for adults all over the ship. Halloween themed cocktails and Halloween activities for adults only are still available for 

Is there Trick or Treating on a Disney Halloween Cruise?

Yes there is! There does seem to be some confusion about it though, since it has changed. If you’re sailing on the Disney Wish, it is held in the Hero Zone on deck 12. It’s only held at specific times, so you’ll have to check the navigator app to find out when it is. Other cruisers from other ships have reported that it has been held in both the atrium and on the upper deck of the ship, so just be sure to check your Disney Cruise app for details. And if you can’t find the info there, just ask someone! The cast and crew on Disney Cruise Line are so helpful and will be able to direct you to the right place. 

Is there a character breakfast during Halloween on the High Seas? 

Character breakfasts are only available on 7 night or longer cruises and reservations must be made in advance. You can book the character breakfast when your excursion booking date opens. 

Edited for 2022: Since the reopening of Disney Cruise Line in 2021, character breakfasts have not returned. This may change in the future though!

Are tickets required for Halloween events?

As of the time of writing this post, no they are not! However, with the future of cruising a little uncertain, it’s possible that once cruising begins again, tickets may be required for certain events. We will keep this section updated to reflect current policies. 

Disney Cruise Halloween on the High Seas

Is there Special Halloween on the High Seas merch?

Yes, there is! And it is cute! Gift shops are only open on board when the ship is at sea, so I highly recommend purchasing any special merch you want at the earliest possible time. Remember, you’re on a boat. They won’t be receiving a new shipment of merchandise during your cruise, so if something sells out while you’re on board, you likely won’t be able to get it at a later time.  The moral of the story is if you want that special Halloween mug, just buy it. Waiting will only end in heartbreak. 

Disney Cruise Halloween on the High Seas Tips

Ready to book a Halloween on the High Seas cruise? Here’s a few tips!

This is always a top tip when it comes to cruising with Disney Cruise Line. Booking early can be tough sometimes, but it’s usually when you’ll see some of the lower prices available. Sometimes, the opposite of that is true, and we talk a little about this in our post about cruising on a budget . 

Seasonal sailings generally tend to sell out a little quicker as well, so booking early will help you secure your choice of the stateroom onboard. 

Disney Cruise Halloween Door Decorations

We always recommend that you decorate your door when you cruise . Not only does it add a little extra magic to an otherwise boring stateroom door, but it will also help you find your door in the long corridors of the cruise ship. You can make this as simple or detailed as you like. The doors are metal, so magnets are your best bet. We have a Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Magnet we like to add to the decor with our family name and destination. 

When we’ve also made our own in the past, we just grab a pack of magnets from Amazon , design something on the Cricut , and voila! Pumpkins, bats, witch hats, and Mickey heads are all easy shapes anyone can master. And will add a bit of spooky spirit to your door with little effort.  And if you show up unprepared, never fear. Because the gift shops onboard usually have a few options to choose from as well!

Dress Up for your Halloween on The High Seas Cruise

Even if dressing up for Halloween isn’t your thing, something simple will do.  Most families and even adults traveling without children will be dressed up.  If costumes aren’t your thing, Halloween shirts , hats, or something as simple as light-up necklaces will work! I feel like every Halloween event I’ve ever been to either on land or at sea, I always hear people say they wish they would have dressed up. So just do it!

Check your Cruise Navigator daily for Halloween happenings

It’s great to be able to read a blog post like this and get all the ideas for what you want to do. But there is nothing that will be more accurate than your Daily Navigator or the app once you’re onboard. The truth is, no matter how many trips we take or how much research we do, things can change quickly and even from sailing to sailing. So be flexible and check daily to see what’s offered. 

Disney Outfit Halloween on the High Seas

Disney Halloween Cruise Shirts

And of course, no Disney Cruise is complete with a souvenir shirt to remember the occasion. While we have loads of Disney Cruise Shirts in the shop if you’re traveling for the spooky season, then why not grab our Halloween on the High Seas Shirt to ear on board and get into the mood? These are soft jersey, unisex shirts. And we always recommend sizing up if you’re unsure, for a more relaxed look. You can also grab a Halloween on the High Seas Stateroom Door Magnet in this collection to match. Check out the links for all our shop collections.

All About Halloween On The High Seas – Disney Cruise Line

A Disney cruise is amazing any time of year, but especially during spooky season. In September and October, guests can set sail for Halloween at the High Seas, a special themed cruise featuring everything from Disney characters in costume and trick-or-treating to autumn-inspired arts & crafts and an adults-only party guest-starring the Disney Villains.  

But what else does this frightfully fun cruise have in store, and is it worth it for your next family vacation? We booked a stateroom on the Disney Dream to find out. Put on your bewitching best and read on as we dig into all the treats a Disney Halloween cruise has to offer, as well as a few tricks to help you make the most of it.

Celebrating Halloween on the High Seas

So, which Disney cruise ship has Halloween on the High Seas? Where does a Halloween Disney cruise go? When do Disney Cruise Line Halloween festivities begin? Here are all the devilish details. 

Disney Cruise Ships With Halloween on the High Seas

While we got into the spooky spirit on the Disney Dream, every Disney cruise ship takes part in Halloween on the High Seas, even the all-new Disney Wish. Each ship has its own scream-worthy setting especially for the season, including a unique Pumpkin Tree that serves as the centerpiece of the festivities.  

Departure Ports & Destinations Visited on a Halloween on the High Seas Cruise

Think of Halloween on the High Seas more like a costume for your Disney cruise ship than a completely themed cruise. In other words, don’t expect a stop in Salem, Massachusetts, port adventures like ghost tours or a pop-up haunted house on Castaway Cay. 

Rather, Disney Halloween cruises depart from several of the same ports as regular Disney Cruise Line sailings, including Port Canaveral and Miami in Florida, San Diego in California, and New York City. Halloween on the High Seas cruises also visit many of Disney Cruise Line’s most popular destinations, from fair-weathered voyages to Bermuda, the Bahamas, Mexico, and the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean or through the Panama Canal to cold-weather cruises to Canada.

Cost of Halloween at the High Seas vs. a Typical Disney Cruise

You might be wondering if Halloween on the High Seas is more expensive than a typical Disney cruise. That depends on a few factors. While many themed Disney cruises can cost a little more than normal, factors like where you are sailing or which ship you are on can actually earn you a deal. 

With sailings departing in September and October, many of Disney’s Halloween on the High Seas cruises go to the Caribbean, where spooky season sadly coincides with hurricane season, in search of warmer weather. Fortunately, as long as you can get past the overall uncertainty that comes with cruising during this occasionally treacherous time, you can sail away with quite a savings . 

You may also notice that certain Disney cruise ships or ports are more in demand than others. As a result, Disney Cruise Line may drop the price for less popular departures, including Halloween on the High Seas sailings. So, you could save a buck or two if you are more flexible on the itinerary.  

Halloween on the High Seas Sail Dates 

Disney Cruise Line Halloween sailings start in mid-September and continue through the end of October, with the last cruises departing on October 31. Itineraries are offered from several different departure ports to a variety of popular destinations, from short 3-night jaunts to longer 5-night tours. 

Why Do a Disney Cruise, Halloween Style

A Disney Halloween on the High Seas cruise is as jam-packed with fun as a trick-or-treat bag bursting with candy. Once onboard, you’ll find enough autumn-inspired activities and enchanting events to keep you up long into the night – both from the Halloween candy sugar rush you’re sure to get and the sheer number of things that is available to do. 

Fang-tastic Halloween Decorations

One of the most charming parts about Halloween on the High Seas is the magical décor. From fiery garlands of autumn leaves to character-inspired pumpkins to adorable jack-o-lantern stickers on the ship’s massive portholes, each ship gets decked out with tons of boo-tiful touches that are sure to put you in the Halloween spirit. 

The highlight of these All Hallows’ Eve decorations, however, is each ship’s signature Pumpkin Tree. Designed to have its own unique face, personality and even name (the one on the Disney Dream is named Grim, while those on the Fantasy, Wonder and Magic are respectively called Mucklebones, Bog and Reap), the Pumpkin Trees are said to keep the spirit of Halloween.

With the introduction of the Disney Wish, this quartet of terrifying trees also got a sister. Named Boo, this elegant Pumpkin Tree has willowy branches heavy with glittering jack-o-lanterns, lighter bark and a graceful face, and once grew the fated gourd that would carry Cinderella to the ball. 

Tricks, Treats & Enchanted Entertainment

Halloween on the High Seas means all sorts of spirited special events, along with the many typical activities that are available on a regular Disney cruise. Cruising with Disney during spooky season can even mean double the fun, as many of these spine-tingling sailings also include the ever-popular Pirate Night in their itinerary. 

When you aren’t showing off your trivia skills, sunbathing by the pool or channeling your inner swashbuckler, here are the many haunted happenings you can enjoy during Halloween on the High Seas with Disney.

Awakening the Pumpkin Tree

The Pumpkin Tree on each Disney cruise ship is so much more than just an elaborate centerpiece. It also serves as the opening act for the entire Halloween on the High Seas celebration. On the first night, you’ll be treated to storytime by the tree’s caretaker, who tells the tale of the Pumpkin Tree. 

Then, it’s time to light the tree’s jack-o-lanterns, which continue to glow for the rest of the trip, making for a can’t-miss photo backdrop. This dazzling display sets the tone for the rest of the cruise’s Halloween festivities and shouldn’t be missed. 

Mickey’s Mouse-querade

It wouldn’t be Halloween with Disney without a costume party. Mickey’s Mouse-querade is a spooktacular scare-a-bration starring much-loved Disney characters in full Halloween costumes. If you’d rather not do meet-and-greets, this can be a great way to see your favorite characters show off their frightful finest without spending a ton of time waiting around in line. 

Equally as fun is seeing the many creative costumes donned by your fellow cruise guests. From jack-o-lantern t-shirts to clever DisneyBounding takes to extravagant group costumes, you’ll see it all. Make sure to wear your own costume and join the mouse-querade.

Halloween-Themed Disney Character Meet-and-Greets

Disney characters do meet-and-greets throughout your cruise and could even change outfits each time they appear. While it is possible to see your favorites in their bone-chilling best at other points during the cruise, the main time characters will wear their Halloween costumes is on the night of Mickey’s Mouse-querade. 

For character chasers, these meet-and-greets are a must. Thankfully, with the exception of characters like Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle as the Sanderson Sisters of Hocus Pocus fame and The Nightmare Before Christmas ’s Jack and Sally, to a slightly lesser extent, meet-and-greet lines typically aren’t that long. That said, for these more popular characters, you may want to jump in line early or risk missing out if the line gets cut. 

Those dressing up like or who share a costume with a particular character definitely won’t want to give these meet-and-greets a miss. For our cruise, my sister, sister-in-law and I DisneyBounded as the Sanderson Sisters, so we made it a point to meet Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle during their very first appearance. Without a doubt, the pantomimed conversations we had over our shared costumes were some of the most magical moments of our cruise. 

Spookalicious Sweet Treats and Other Festive Eats

No Halloween is complete without some trick-or-treating, and the same goes for Disney’s Halloween on the High Seas. On the Disney Dream, crew members passed out generous handfuls of the good stuff along a makeshift trick-or-treat trail through Cabanas. And don’t worry about needing to pack your own bag to store your stash – trick-or-treat bags are left in your stateroom earlier that day. 

But, those aren’t the only Halloween eats on offer during this cursed cruise. For dinner in the main dining rooms on the night of Mickey’s Mouse-querade, your table will even tuck into some Chocolate Spider Cake (don’t worry, it isn’t actually made of cocoa-y arachnids). 

Your cruise ship’s culinary team also cooks up a buffet of bewitching bites all cruise long. Spine-chilling sweets like cookies, cupcakes, meringues and more (hello, pumpkin spice!) are on offer at the ship’s casual buffet restaurant, certain lounges and the onboard sweetshop. Just keep an eye out for the special Halloween signs. 

Haunted Hands-On Activities

One of the best parts of Halloween is getting your hands dirty making jack-o-lanterns. In the spirit of this Halloween tradition, cruisers can also try their hand at a number of autumn-inspired activities. 

From creepy cooking demonstrations to arts & crafts to terrifying trivia, there’s something spooky to do for everyone. Little cruisers can even enjoy extra-special Halloween arts and crafts activities especially for them, such as face painting and pumpkin carving.

Spine-tingling Ghost Stories and Movie Screenings 

Does your family love a good ghost story? Or perhaps you can’t celebrate Halloween without watching the latest frightful flick? Well, you’re in luck. 

Along with showings of favorite Disney Halloween movies on the Funnel Vision screen – Hocus Pocus 2 had just premiered during our cruise and played multiple times during our trip – guests can also enjoy Haunted Stories of the Sea, told beneath the stars by a mysterious sea captain, and The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing and Scream, an interactive movie singalong. 

Jordin Sparks Sings National Anthem for Disney Treasure Maiden Voyage

Exclusive halloween on the high seas merchandise.

Disney never misses out on a merchandising opportunity, Halloween on the High Seas included. In addition to regular Disney Cruise Line souvenirs, cruisers also have access to special Halloween-themed items created especially for the event, including apparel, pins, mugs and more. 

As a result, scary swag can be quite the hot ticket, and it isn’t unheard of for things to sell out before the cruise is through. So, if you see something you like, buy it sooner rather than later or risk missing out. 

Halloween Isn’t Just for Kids

Just like Disney Cruise Line isn’t only for families, you don’t need to be a kiddo to get into the spooky spirit during Halloween at the High Seas. On the night of Mickey’s Mouse-querade, the Disney Villains run amuck in the adults-only part of the ship during a ghoulishly grown-up Halloween party. 

Sadly, don’t expect them to hang around too long. After all, they’ve got places to be and people to terrorize. Still, their steamy dance appearance is sure to cast a spell. With the villains out of the way, it’s time for a comical (and highly competitive) costume party followed by music and dancing. 

On the Disney Dream, this was a silent dance party, which, if you’ve never experienced one before, is both weird and hilarious. Most people weren’t into it and, besides a few lurkers laughing at folks on the floor dancing like no one was watching, the place cleared out pretty quickly after the last award was announced. Still, the costume contest was a ton of fun. 

Packing Tips & Experience Tricks for a Spook-tacular Disney Halloween Cruise  

Hoping to make the most of your Halloween on the High Seas experience? These suggestions are sure to take your cruise from ordinary to hex-traordinary. 

Don’t Forget Your Costume

Dressing up in costume is a Halloween tradition for a reason – it’s undeniably fun! While you don’t need to don anything too extravagant (even a Halloween t-shirt or creative DisneyBound will do), getting in costume will help put you in the appropriate spirit. If you’re anything like us, you’ll also love seeing everyone else on the cruise in their frightening finery. 

Worried that you won’t have enough room in your suitcase for two costumes? Just double up and don your pirate attire twice – you’ll save space without having to skip out on the fun. Consider swapping out your swashbuckling accessories or trading with cabinmates to keep your costume feeling fresh. Just be sure that you follow the rules. Certain types of masks are prohibited, as are some prop weapons.

Give Your Door a Pixie-dusted Halloween Makeover 

Expert Disney cruisers decorate their stateroom doors. Not only does this make it easier to pick your room out of the lineup of generic doors, but the extra pixie dust is sure to put a smile on your face each time you return “home.” 

Stateroom doors are metal, so we recommend using magnets to create your décor. DIY your own or buy some premade off of Etsy – go for a Halloween theme or a general Disney design. If you forget to plan ahead, you might even be able to find some in one of the ship’s onboard gift shops. 

Dress Up Your Stateroom with Spell-binding Décor 

Don’t confine the Halloween vibes to your stateroom door. For the ultimate spine-chilling experience, consider decorating inside your room, too. If you don’t mind having to set it up, BYOD (bring your own decorations) and save some cash. Or, splurge and arrange to have Disney decorate your room for you. Sure, it’s expensive. But, the surprise of walking into your scream-worthy room for the very first time will be worth it. 

Commemorate Your Disney Halloween Cruise with Plenty of Pictures

You’ll find no shortage of photo opportunities on a Disney cruise. And with everyone all dressed up for Halloween with nowhere to go except around the ship, it’s the perfect time to strike a pose. 

Use the scream-worthy decorations as a festive photo backdrop, snap a pic alongside your favorite Disney characters in their Halloween best or take advantage of the ship’s dedicated photoshoot spots. Manned by professional photographers, these mini-photo studios boast bewitching backgrounds and monstrously fun Magic Shots for the cruise’s official Halloween party night. 

Refer to the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App for Daily Halloween Happenings 

There’s so much going on during your Halloween Disney cruise that it can be tricky to keep it all straight. To make things easy, take advantage of the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. Similar to My Disney Experience or the Disneyland app , the Navigator lists out the various activities that are available and lets you bookmark anything that sounds appealing. Then, simply wait for the reminder around 15 minutes before the event starts. 

Well, that wraps up our guide to Halloween on the High Seas with Disney Cruise Line. Have you been on a Disney Halloween cruise? What is your favorite part of this spirited sailing? Let us know in the comments! Then, learn how to save on your next Disney cruise.

Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

We just returned from a 3-day trip on Disney Wish and share it all with you in our signature Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas

Share this post:

Disney Wish  is Disney Cruise Line’s 5th ship. This 144K gross ton vessel is DCL’s first new ship in over a decade and now the largest ship in the fleet. This new vessel features a number of new dining concepts, onboard amenities, and one-of-a-kind features that kids and adults alike will enjoy.

We first sailed on Disney Wish a few months ago for a 3-day Bahamas cruise . As our first Disney cruise, we couldn’t wait to get back onboard this ship. So, we booked another cruise for my birthday. Now, we have returned from our second sailing and share it all with you in our signature day-by-day Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review.

disney cruise halloween wish

Halloween on the High Seas is available on select cruises in September and October across the Disney Cruise Line fleet. Similar to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in the Disney parks, Halloween on the High Seas includes holiday themed activities and character meet and greets along with all the cruise staples.

From the pumpkin tree in the Grand Hall to Mickey’s Mouse-querade party and Disney characters donned in their Halloween costumes, Halloween on the High Seas is fun for all ages. Additionally, there are other activities held in the kids and teens areas throughout the cruise.

Admittedly, we are two adults with no kids, but we did feel there could have been more Halloween-themed activities for us big kids. Still, we packed our costumes and enjoyed our time on the new Disney Wish.

Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review – Day 1

A pre-cruise day.

Unlike our last cruise on Disney Wish, we flew into Orlando the night before our sailing. We secured a hotel near the Port Canaveral cruise port. The Springhill Suites Cape Canaveral is a newer hotel in the area and a great pre-cruise hotel option.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

Even though there are many great activities in the Port Canaveral area , we did not arrive until the evening. Thus, we didn’t have time to do much else besides sleep.

For our last cruise, we booked a DCL transfer straight from the airport. This time around, we took an Uber to the cruise port in morning. We checked out of our hotel right at 11 AM, and it took less than 10 minutes to arrive at Terminal 8.

Arriving at the terminal, there were small lines forming outside based on port arrival time. However, we headed straight to the Castaway Cay Club members line. We then proceeded through the check-in process and security rather quickly.

Taking the escalator up to the waiting area, we realized that they had not started boarding yet. So, we headed outside to the viewing area to grab some photos of the ship in the meantime. Finally, the family of the day was called around 11:40 AM, followed by subsequent boarding groups.

It was our turn to board Disney Wish, and get this Disney Halloween on the High Seas cruise review started, just after 12 PM. When the Bucolo family was announced, we were greeted by some festive fall décor in the Grand Hall setting the scene for our spooktacular next three days onboard this ship.

Our Second Look at Disney Wish

Since we had already captured much of the photos and videos we needed during our last trip, we spent the next 45 minutes or so strolling the ship along with checking into our muster station.

Prior to this sailing, we had tried to book Palo Steakhouse and the Just Desserts event at Enchante but were unsuccessful. Further, we were waitlisted for early dining and never got it. So, we joined many other guests in the reservation line forming outside Luna’s in hopes of securing more optimal dining.

When the desks opened at 1 PM, we learned that Enchante was only serving dinner this sailing. Although, the cast member was able to secure us both a dinner reservation and a brunch reservation at Palo Steakhouse.

Next, we hopped over to the main dining room line. We were not so lucky here though. Unfortunately, we were not able to switch to early dining or a table for two. This meant we would be dining at 8:15 PM, which is pretty late for us.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

With all this talk of food, we were starting to get hungry. Around 1:30 PM, we made our way up to the Festival of Foods on the pool deck. This casual eatery has five different food stations, including a grill, cantina, and a BBQ. We really enjoyed the selections here during our last cruise, so we couldn’t wait to get back.

I grabbed some chicken tacos from my favorite spot, Donald’s Cantina. The hubby headed over to Mickey’s Smokestack BBQ where he dug into some brisket and ribs. Once again, these lunch selections did not disappoint. In our opinion, this is one of the best casual eateries at sea.

What’s lunch without a little dessert? Instead of sampling Sweet Minnie’s Ice Cream, we decided to check out Inside Out: Joyful Sweets. This shop offers up-charge ice cream, gelato, and other sweet treats. I opted for the cupcake batter gelato and Don ordered a scoop of the peanut butter and snickers gelato. Both flavors were delicious! While a bit pricey at $3.75 a scoop, it was worth it.

Next up, it was time for our afternoon caffeine fix. So, we headed up to the Cove Cafe to grab a latte before making our way to our cabin around 2:30 PM. On Disney Cruise Line, the staterooms are not ready until around 2 PM; although, we must have missed the official announcement that they were ready.

A Very Disney Sail Away

For this Halloween on the High Seas cruise review, we booked a Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. This deck 9 cabin, 9120, featured the Sleeping Beauty theme.

According to Disney Cruise Line’s website, a Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah is approximately 284 square feet and sleeps 4 to 5 guests. This increased space is definitely noticeable when compared to family cabins on other contemporary cruise lines.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

There was plenty of storage and sleeping space for 5 guests. This stateroom had a queen bed, an optional upper-berth single pull-down bed, a single convertible sofa, and a single wall pull-down bed. Further, the cabin featured Disney’s signature split bathroom set up, with a toilet/sink and a shower/sink combo.

Unfortunately, only one of our two suitcases had arrived so we weren’t able to unpack just yet. Instead, we took the time to collect footage of the cabin for our upcoming reviews.

Around 3:30 PM, we headed up to deck 13 between the Quiet Cove and AquaMouse for a great aerial view of the Sail Away Party set to begin in an hour. With prime seats secured, we grabbed official sail away drinks from the nearby Cove Bar, a strawberry basil spritz and a mai tai.

Right on cue, the Fairy Godmother made her way on stage along with all your other Disney friends. With 15 minutes of celebration and a “When You Wish Upon a Star” horn, it was time to make the most of these three days. Let’s Set Sail!

Tonight, our Palo Steakhouse reservation was for 6 PM. Thus, we headed back to our cabin to unpack, settle in, and get ready for dinner.

Our First Time at Palo

Palo Steakhouse is one of the upscale specialty dining venues on the new Disney Wish that is exclusively for adults. This evolution of the Palo restaurant found on other DCL ships combines authentic Italian dining with a modern steakhouse.

When dining at Palo, guests can choose either a prixe-fixe menu which is priced at $45 or pay a la carte.

Upon arriving at this specialty restaurant, we were quickly escorted to a table for two at the very back of the restaurant. Our waiter, Adi, was quick to come by to introduce himself and provide some insight into the menu. Actually, given how difficult it was to get reservations, we were surprised at how quiet the venue was tonight.

disney cruise halloween wish

Given the prixe-fixe menu options, we decided to pay a la carte for our selections. This 4-course feast lasted about two hours. It was filled with delicious food, drinks, and aft-facing views.

We began the evening with some drinks and appetizers. I ordered the tomato and burrata, and hubby ordered the calamari and shrimp appetizer. Both were tasty renditions of these classic dishes. We then decided to split a pasta course as the butternut squash agnolotti sounded good.

For entrees, I went with the only chicken dish on the menu of course. Don was debating between the osso buco and a steak, but he went with the osso buco based on the waiter’s recommendation. While my chicken dish was a bit dry, the osso buco was flavorful and tender. The side dish of mac and cheese was really good too.

disney cruise halloween wish

By now, we were getting quite full, but we couldn’t pass up dessert. So, we decided to split the amaretto soufflé with hazelnut gelato. The was light and airy making it the perfect ending to a wonderful meal at Palo Steakhouse.

Our server Adi was friendly and delivered timely and personal service for a true upscale dining experience.

Impressed with dinner at Palo, we were eager to return for brunch tomorrow.

An Evening on Disney Wish

We were finished with our dinner just in time to head to the Walt Disney Theater for the 8:30 PM showing of tonight’s signature production, Disney Seas the Adventure.

It was fairly busy when we arrived, but we were able to squeeze into some seats on the starboard side of the venue for this 40-minute show.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

Disney Seas the Adventure is a revue show featuring Captain Minnie, Goofy, and some of your other favorite Disney characters. While it is high-energy and cute, it’s certainly not a Broadway caliber production. Still, it is a fun welcome aboard activity that is distinctly Disney.

Following the show, we perused Mickey’s Main Sail gift shop for any new merchandise. Since nothing caught our eye, we grabbed seats in Nightingale’s for some drinks and piano music.

The Nightingale’s menu is divided into sections based on bubbles. I went with a familiar favorite the Crystal Slipper from the Air Bubbles section. DB got a bit more daring with a Frozen Bubbles selection. This chocolate concoction comes complete with a small mallet to break the ice bubble. A few attempts and much amusement later, we could now enjoy our drinks and the tunes.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

I guess we were envisioning more of a piano bar feel like HAL or Royal Caribbean ships; however, this was just background piano music without the singing or lively atmosphere. So, we made our exit around 10:30 PM in time for the Sanderson Sisters in the Grand Hall.

This is Disney, so we should have expected the long line for this photo op. Nonetheless, we decided not to wait as the sisters were making more appearances tomorrow. Instead, we went for a short walk around the ship and decided to call it a night.

Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review – Day 2

A “sea day” for us.

Day 2 of this Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review was a stop in Nassau, Bahamas. Like many others, this meant we would be staying on the ship today for our “sea day”.

Sleeping in a bit this morning, Don did the typical morning routine of coffee and photos/videos while I got ready.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

We had brunch at Palo today at noon, so we decided to skip breakfast. Instead, we strolled the Grand Atrium to see some of the Disney characters and eventually made our way up to the Quiet Cove.

Securing some seats in the shade on the starboard side, we relaxed and caught up on a little work. Don decided that he wanted to do the Chewbacca meet and greet at 11 AM, so he made his way down to the Star Wars Cargo Bay.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

On his way back, he stopped in at Palo to inquire about the dress code. While we knew there was one for dinner, we assumed shorts would be okay for brunch. That was not the case though. Thus, we needed to head back to our cabin for a quick costume change.

A Fancy Brunch

Arriving a few minutes late for our 12 PM reservation, we found the restaurant much busier than last evening.

We were soon greeted by our same waiter from last night, Adi. To no fault of his own, service was slower today taking a full two hours for brunch.

The brunch at Palo Steakhouse is an up-charge of $45 per person and consists of several upscale breakfast and lunch menu items. I was set on trying the chicken parm, but I also wanted to sample some of the breakfast items.

disney cruise halloween wish

After a round of mimosas, we decided on our order. I went with the apple cinnamon waffle and the chicken parm. The hubby went with an antipasti selection, a frittata, and lasagna. We then finished the meal off with a sticky bun and limoncello torte.

While we were overly impressed with dinner yesterday, the brunch here was just average in our opinion. The chicken parm and lasagna were pretty typical cruise dishes and not the same quality we would get from an Italian restaurant on land. While the breakfast dishes were the highlight, we aren’t sure that the overall meal was worth the price.

Given the restaurant was so busy, we just missed the 2 PM photo op with the Sanderson Sisters. This meant we had to kill some time before the next one at 3:30 PM. So, we went back to our cabin to change back into daytime attire and checked some emails in the meantime.

The Witches Are Back

Of course, a Disney Halloween on the High Seas cruise review wouldn’t be complete without a picture with the Sanderson Sisters. Thus, around 3 PM, we made sure to get in line to ensure we wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

At long last, we got our 30 seconds in the spotlight with the witches. Coincidently, there was also a Captain Hook photo op occurring nearby. Sure, why not.

disney cruise halloween wish

By now, it was close to 4 PM, and we needed our afternoon dose of coffee. Back up to the Quiet Cove, we grabbed lattes and seats to relax here for about an hour.

Given we had late dinner, we needed to catch the 6 PM show in the main theater. Tonight’s line up was 1923 and The Little Mermaid.

Giving ourselves enough time to shower and change up for dinner and the show, we arrived to the theater just before showtime. Thankfully, we were able to find seats in about the same location as last night.

disney cruise halloween wish

Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a 60-minute, Broadway-style adaptation of the original film. The singing, dancing, and stage set make for a solid performance, even if we think the ending deviates a bit too much from the original film.

Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me

After the show, we followed the crowds up to the pool deck for Mickey’s Pirate Party. That’s right, tonight was pirate night on Disney Wish. While the Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party was occurring later in the evening, this party featured Mickey and friends in a more family-friendly performance.

Beginning at 7:45 PM, this 20-minute show included singing and dancing with the characters dressed in their finest pirate attire. Since we are big kids at heart, we enjoyed the show.

disney cruise halloween wish

From here, we headed straight to dinner at 1923. Of the three rotational restaurants on Disney Wish , this was our favorite during our last sailing. So, we were eager to see how our experience compared.

A Return Visit to 1923

Upon arriving, we were escorted to our assigned table, Table 611. Once again, this was a table for 6. It was pretty close to other tables for 6 as well, making it almost a banquet-like setup. In fact, all of the dining rooms on Disney Wish are very tight and do not offer many private tables, which is a turn off for us.

Nonetheless, our waitstaff of Charles and Anna were quick to introduce themselves and deliver bread and water. With only one other couple showing up a bit after us, our meals were a bit delayed to put us on pace with them. This complete dining experience took about two hours.

Our menu selections this time consisted of some old and new dishes. Don started with the spiced ahi tuna, and I ordered the tortelloni. Both of these dishes were pretty average when compared to other main dining room experiences.

disney cruise halloween wish

For entrees, I did the Riverside Roasted Chicken. While last time I though the dish was specialty restaurant quality, it was not as well-prepared this time around. Don ordered the Peppered Filet Mignon. It was cooked to his requested medium rare temperature, well-seasoned with pepper, and was on par with last time.

The desserts were perhaps the highlight of the meal, with the apple cheesecake being the best dish of the night.

While the food quality was not as good as we remembered, our waitstaff were definitely superior. Charles and Anna were friendly and accommodating.

Rounding Out the Evening

With dinner finished just in time, we headed back upstairs to the pool deck for the Pirates Parlay party. With the main pool deck already rather busy, we secured rail spots on deck 12 starboard.

Classic rock songs, some pirate fun, and fireworks make this a must attend activity. There’s even an appearance by Captain Jack Sparrow! If you want to step it up a notch, pack some pirate attire for the festivities.

disney cruise halloween wish

When this 30-minute show finished, we made our way back inside to our favorite venue, The Bayou.

Unfortunately, we never did catch any live music in this venue during this sailing. Actually, it seemed like there may have been less live entertainment this cruise when compared to last cruise.

Still, we sipped some drinks and people-watched for about an hour. We may have also ordered some beignets to-go for breakfast tomorrow morning.

disney cruise halloween wish

When we retired to our cabin for the evening, we were greeted by one of the best towel animals ever!

Tomorrow was already our final day of the cruise and our visit to Castaway Cay.

Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review – Day 3

Our second visit to castaway cay.

Day 3 of this Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review was our stop in Castaway Cay, Disney’s private resort in the Bahamas. While we did visit Castaway Cay on our last Disney Wish cruise, we spent much of our time just exploring the island. Today, we were actually going to enjoy it!

Pre-cruise, hubby secured a combo package for snorkeling, a bike rental, and a float rental. My plan was to relax on the beach. After all, it was a Sunday.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

Up around 7 AM, Don headed out for coffee while I got ready. Our ship was supposed to be cleared by 8:30 AM, and we planned to head ashore right away.

Approaching that time and no announcement made, we made our way down towards the gangway anyway. We were greeted by a crowd of other fellow cruisers eager to enjoy Castaway Cay as well.

Within 10 minutes or so, we were able to scan off the ship and get our day started. We spent the first 90 minutes walking around to refresh our memory, as this was only our second visit to the island ever.

Securing some additional photos and videos, we eventually set up shop on Family Beach.

With a nice spot in the shade, I relaxed while Don set off on his bike ride. During this leisurely hour bike rental along the airstrip, he traversed both trails including a stop at the Observation Tower. Getting some photos and videos along the way, he returned for his next adventure, snorkeling.

disney cruise halloween wish

Grabbing some equipment from the nearby rental shack, he set off in search of Disney treasure. Castaway Cay has a 22-acre snorkel lagoon at Family Beach, with two trails depending on your expert level. Here, you can discover submerged statues, former ride vehicles, and more.

After his 75 minutes of snorkeling, he had worked up an appetite. Thus, we packed up and took the tram over to Serenity Bay. We had read that this adult-only area had some upscale offerings on its BBQ buffet, so we wanted to check it out.

The island’s BBQ lunch ends at 2 PM. Luckily, we arrived with 30 minutes to spare, giving us enough time to enjoy some of the selections.

Since I am a picky eater, I stuck with some pasta salad and fruit. However, the hubby did enjoy all the BBQ options. From the corn bread and potato salad, to the ribs and sirloin, it was a satisfying meal. Yes, the BBQ at Serenity Bay does offer steak.

disney cruise halloween wish

Since the staff were quick to close up shop, we decided to just head back to the main area of the island for some shopping before heading back to the ship.

Finished around 3 PM, it was another great day at Castaway Cay.

Halloween on the High Seas on Disney Wish

Back onboard the ship, we took some time to relax and cool off.

Tonight was when all the Halloween on the High Seas fun was occurring. Since we didn’t want to miss any of it, we decided to just grab a casual dinner prior to our 6 PM showing of Aladdin in the main theater.

Showered up and ready for our last night on Disney Wish, we made a return trip to the Festival of Foods. A miss on this ship is that the Marceline Market (the cruise ship’s buffet) is not open for dinner.

disney cruise halloween wish

This time, we grabbed selections from Goofy’s Grill and Daisy’s Pizza Pies. At the Grill, I went with chicken tenders and Don with the grilled bratwurst. These selections are definitely on par with quick service in Disney parks and better than most cruise ship buffet selections. Although, the pizza is not among our favorites at sea. That award still goes to Princess Cruises and Virgin Voyages.

After dinner, we grabbed some popcorn in our refillable popcorn bucket and headed to the final show in the Walt Disney Theater. TIP: If you bring your popcorn bucket from the Disney parks, it is only $1.50 for refills.

disney cruise halloween wish

Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular was not ready for our last sailing on Disney Wish back in July, so we were excited to see this show. This adaptation of Aladdin was very entertaining with plenty of Disney humor courtesy of the Genie. It was certainly our favorite of the three main theater shows.

Following this production, we hustled back to the cabin to change up into our Halloween costumes for the 7:45 PM Mickey’s Mouse-querade Party. This 20-minute show on the pool deck consisted of Mickey and friends in their Halloween costumes dancing to popular songs like the Monster Mash.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

Fitting It All In

Just after 8 PM, the night was still young. We actually had a few bars on Disney Wish that we still needed to visit as well. First on the list was the Hyperspace Lounge. This venue no longer requires reservations. In fact, it was quite empty during our visit.

We spend about 45 minutes here enjoying our drinks and the scenery. Unfortunately, this bar is kind of a miss. With the elaborate Star Wars theming in the kids areas, we were expecting more out of this bar.

disney cruise halloween wish

Around 9 PM, we got in line for a photo op with Captain Minnie. Since we were dressed in our costumes, we figured a few pictures were a must. We debated also hopping into the Captain Mickey line, but it was quite long so we passed.

Instead, we headed over to Luna’s for a few of the game shows and some drinks. First up was Heard That, a version of Name That Lyric. The hubby also grabbed a beer from the nearby Keg & Compass, while I enjoyed one of the drinks from the Luna’s menu.

disney cruise halloween wish

We finished up the evening in Luna’s with Match Your Mate. This always funny version of the Love and Marriage show did not disappoint. With plenty of laughs, we called it a night around 11:30 PM.

Since we did not get a chance to pack today, we needed to wake up extra early tomorrow morning.

Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review – Disembarkation

Until next time.

Today was the worst day of this Disney Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review, disembarkation day! Unfortunately, we would not be extending our trip with a visit to the Disney parks like we did last time. Instead, we were heading back home for a short time until our next cruise.

Up at 5:30 AM, we began packing. We were doing self-assist disembarkation this morning which was set to start somewhere around 7:15 AM.

When the venues opened at 6:30 AM, hubby headed upstairs to grab our usual morning lattes and some food from the Marceline Market to bring back to the cabin.

disney cruise halloween wish

Between packing, eating, and showering, we were ready just in time for the ship to be cleared slightly after 7:30 AM.

Not that we had to catch an early flight, but it was Monday morning and hubby had to work. We actually booked a day room at the Hyatt Regency at the airport since our flight wasn’t until 7 PM.

Ready for disembarkation, we did have to wait a few for an elevator that would accommodate us and our two suitcases. Once down to deck 3, it was a quick scan off the ship and into the terminal building. We did wait about 30 minutes in the terminal for CBP.

With an Uber drive from Port Canaveral to the MCO airport, we checked into the hotel around 9:30 AM. We then proceeded to get caught up on life, the website, and work for the remainder of the day. It was going to be a crazy few days back home before heading off on our next back to back adventure.

Disney's Halloween on the High Seas Cruise Review

Thankfully, there were no flight delays, and we arrived back at home around 11 PM just in time to crash.

Next up is the MerMaiden voyage on Valiant Lady followed by the U.S. inaugural cruise from Fort Lauderdale on Celebrity Beyond. Be sure to follow along with all these adventures on our social media and YouTube channels as well.

Nightmare Aboard Disney Cruise? Nerve-Racking Video Goes Viral

in Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise scene from aerial vantage point

A guest recently exposed an alleged nightmare aboard one of Disney Cruise Line’s ships in a viral video. Fact or fiction?

A trip aboard the Disney Cruise Line fleet is the ultimate way to elevate any Disney vacation for all Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort fans.

disney-cruise-line-ant-man

With themed dining locations inspired by Disney and Pixar movies, Marvel, and  Star Wars;  Broadway-style live musicals; unique themed events like Marvel Day at Sea, Pixar Day at Sea, or the festive Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime; it’s easy to see why thousands of Disney fans set sail with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends aboard the Disney  Wish ,  the Disney  Dream , the Disney  Fantasy , the Disney  Magic,  and the Disney  Wonder.

Unfortunately, a guest recently lived an alleged nightmare aboard one of the fleet’s ships.

disney-cruise-liners

TikTok user @roberttolppi recently posted a video exposing an alleged malfunction aboard the Disney Wish  in which the ship’s horn played the iconic tune of Disney’s 1940 hit movie Pinocchio,  “When You Wish Upon a Star,” continuously, causing extreme distress to the guest.

In the video, an announcement apologized for the inconvenience and informed that the ship’s maintenance crew was working to resolve the issue, but it would take nearly an hour. The guest then tried to cover the loud horn with noise-canceling headphones, saying they were not blocking it.

“I just want to sleep,” said the guest, adding, “I think they called the Disney Wish because they bought it on wish.com .”  A second announcement noted that the ship would dock shortly at “a nearby port for electrical maintenance” and that the following day’s itinerary would be canceled while engineers assessed the malfunction.

You can see the video below or click here to watch it.

@roberttolppi When you wish upon a star 📢‼️‼️ #cruiseship #cruise ♬ original sound – Robert Tolppi

The distressing video has racked up over 8 million views and 1.3 million likes, shocking over 12 thousand viewers who have voiced their opinions in the comments. However, the viral video is a hoax by the skilled editor Robert Tolppi, who has gone viral on multiple occasions, convincing millions that a guest had broken into Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland Park and that a theme park was operating an extremely dangerous (and impossible) roller coaster.

While all Disney Cruise Line ships play signature tunes from beloved Disney movies, no boat has ever reported a malfunction similar to the one portrayed in Robert’s video. This confirms that, while entertaining, the video is a montage, and the alleged malfunction is fake.

The Disney Dream sails in the ocean.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time social media has stirred debate and confusion among Disney Cruise Line enthusiasts. A recently resurfaced video of the Disney Dream crashing into a dock in Nassau, Bahamas, revived the conversation surrounding the incident, which occurred in 2017. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the years-old accident.

Disney Cruise Line Announces Marvel Sailings

Disney Cruise Line has announced that Marvel Day at Sea will return in early 2025.

You’ll find the Marvel sailings on the Disney Dream, on select 5-night itineraries out of Fort Lauderdale. Marvel enhancements will be found on the Dream’s Bahamian sailings on January 27, February 10, February 24, and March 10, and on the Dream’s Western Caribbean sailings on February 1, February 15, March 1, and March 15 of next year.

Marvel sailings include special photo ops and visits with characters including: Spider-Man, Thor, Loki, Black Panther, Shuri, Captain Marvel, Star-Lord, Gamora, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Shang-Chi, Ant-Man, the Wasp, two variations of Captain America, and more. You’ll also find special Marvel-themed food in the main dining rooms.

Themed activities include Marvel trivia, animation classes where you can learn to draw Marvel characters, Marvel film screenings in the theaters and on the ship’s giant Funnel Vision screen, Marvel-themed adventures in the onboard youth clubs, costume contests, live shows, and a themed fireworks presentation. I’ve seen Disney Cruise Line fireworks presentations dozens of times. My personal assessment is that the Marvel Day at Sea Show is the best one, and it’s not even close.

Any ideas on when Halloween on the High Seas info may become available? Our booking on the Hawaii cruise will only happen if we get to celebrate Halloween on the way back to the mainland! Speaking of Hawaii, will there be any 2016 dates added?

' src=

Lynette, DCL has yet to officially announce Halloween on the High Seas or the Very Merrytime sail dates. As for Hawaii in 2016, I would not hold my breath unless the Magic and Wonder swap deployments. The Wonder is set for re-imagination in the fall of 2016 .

' src=

Just an FYI: The Disney Wonder East Bound Panama Canal Cruise beginning Oct 23, 2015 will have Halloween on the High Seas this year.

Patti, Thanks for the update. We are not marking the sailings in our database until DCL makes an official announcement. I do not want people to spend their money and book under the assumption based on our website in the event DCL makes an abrupt change.

Hi Scott! Do you happen to know what the sailings are like between Halloween on the high seas and Very-Merrytime cruises? Do they still have decorations up or is it like a “normal” cruise as far as decor and activities?

If they are not labeled as Halloween or Very MerryTime the will not likely have the events. Decor is questionable.

We’re booked on the Disney Wish Halloween Cruise beginning October 31st. It is a four night cruise and, for whatever reason, no one seems to know exactly which nights the Halloween Costume Party and Pirate Party are. Everything I’ve seen is based upon peoples past experiences. Is there anyone from the cruise line who can provide a definitive answer? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am a novice to Disney Cruises.

Disney Cruise Line adds Capt. Minnie Mouse to bow of Disney Treasure

W hen Disney Cruise Line’s new ship Disney Treasure makes its way to Port Canaveral this year, Minnie Mouse will once again be leading the way.

In an image shared on the Disney Parks Blog with updates on the new vessel’s construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, the bow artwork featuring Captain Minnie Mouse wearing an adventure-themed outfit has been rendered complete with the signature golden filigree similar to the hull art designs found on the rest of the cruise line’s fleet of ships.

“Its completion marks an exciting milestone for the Disney Treasure as it begins the next stage of construction,” reads the post. “The installation process began when the shipyard team welded a number of pre-cut steel plates to the Disney Treasure’s hull. Once the framework of the design had been secured, the plates were painted by hand to obtain their iconic golden hue and sealed with a special topcoat.”

It’s the second time Captain Minnie has made a bow appearance after 2022’s Disney Wish, a sister ship to Disney Treasure that was the first of three vessels in a new class for the cruise line.

The original Disney Magic that debuted in 1998 featured Mickey Mouse from “Fantasia” while its sister ship Disney Wonder that began sailing in 1999 features a rendering of Steamboat Willie.

The fleet’s third ship Disney Dream in 2011 has Captain Mickey at the stern while its sister ship Disney Fantasy in 2012 features a second version of Sorcerer Mickey from “Fantasia.”

Disney Cruise Line queues up old and new features for new ship Disney Treasure

Each ship in the fleet also features whimsical character statues attached to the stern. For Disney Treasure, it will be Peter Pan and Captain Hook.

The ship is approaching one year since its keel-laying ceremony in March 2023 and won’t be complete until late 2024.

Like Disney Wish, Disney Treasure will sail from Port Canaveral, mostly on seven-night voyages beginning  Dec. 21, 2024, with alternating eastern and western Caribbean itineraries. Wish will continue with short three- and four-night Bahamas duties.

Among spaces coming to the 144,000-gross-ton, 4,000-passenger vessel include bars inspired by the Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea theme park attractions and an Aladdin-themed Grand Hall atrium.

Haunted Mansion bar is coming to Disney’s new cruise ship

The popular Oceaneer’s Club aimed at children ages 3-12 will have the same five venues seen on Disney Wish for Marvel, Star Wars, Disney Imagineers, Disney Princesses and Mickey and Minnie.

Its top deck will once again feature the AquaMouse water coaster-dark ride combo while the rotational dining will bring back a new version of the Worlds of Marvel restaurant and the California cuisine venue 1923 named in deference to the opening year for Walt Disney’s animation studio. The ship will also have higher-end dining at the “Beauty and the Beast”-themed Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement as well as their shared cocktail lounge The Rose,

Disney Cruise Line taps ‘Moana’ for original show on Disney Treasure

New to the ship is a dinner theater experience based on the Disney Pixar movie “Coco,” a new dessert venue themed to “Zootopia,” and a pair of coffee, tea and snack options: Heihei Café, named after the rooster from the film “Moana,” and Jade Cricket Café, named after the cricket from the film “Mulan.”

One other revamped venue will be called Sarabi, taking the same space and role as Luna on Disney Wish. Themed to “The Lion King,” the two-deck venue acts as a family fun theater during the day and adult entertainment at night.

The main stage will feature a new show based on “Moana” as well as existing shows for “Beauty and the Beast” and the play “Disney Seas the Day” that debuted on Disney Wish.

Disney Treasure’s arrival will grow the DCL fleet to six ships with two more in the works.

A third Wish-class ship that has yet to be named is due in 2025 along with another ship under construction that will be based in Asia named the Disney Adventure.
