Disney Cruise Line’s Halloween on the High Seas programming returns on select sailings from late September through Halloween, bringing seasonal décor, costume events and Halloween-themed entertainment aboard participating ships.
A centerpiece of the celebration is each ship’s Enchanted Pumpkin Tree, displayed in the atrium and featured in a storytelling moment. Disney Addicts reports that every ship has its own tree and name, including vessels such as the Disney Destiny, Disney Treasure, Disney Wish, Disney Fantasy, Disney Dream, Disney Wonder and Disney Magic. The Disney Fantasy tree is named Mucklebones.
Guests of all ages can wear costumes and take part in onboard trick-or-treating. The lineup also includes Mickey’s Mouse-Querade, a Halloween deck party with music, dancing and Disney characters in costume, as well as an adult costume contest called Halloween Isn’t Just for Kids.
Seasonal character encounters include Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck and Clarabelle Cow in Sanderson Sisters-inspired costumes, according to Disney Addicts. The celebration also includes themed photo opportunities and Magic Shots, Halloween movies and music, plus festive food presentation and stateroom towel animals.
