Pirate Night Aboard the Fantasy: A Full Guide to Swashbuckling Shenanigans
Ahoy, Disney Cruise Line adventurers! If you’re setting sail on a Disney Cruise, you won’t want to miss out on the swashbuckling fun of Pirate Night aboard the Fantasy. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this high-seas celebration.
Get Ready to Set Sail
From the moment you step into your stateroom the evening of Pirate Night, you know it’s coming! Your attendant will leave a pirate bandana during daily housekeeping, so you’ll be ready to dress the part.
Pirate-Themed Activities and Entertainment
The entire ship transforms with pirate-themed backdrops and music, creating an immersive experience. Throughout the evening, you’ll encounter your favorite Disney characters in their finest pirate attire, perfect for photo opportunities and meet-and-greets.
Fun for All Ages
Kids Clubs: Little buccaneers can dive into pirate crafts, trivia, and a thrilling treasure hunt in the Oceaneer Lab.
Pirate Drink of the Day: Adults can enjoy the “Sunken Treasure,” a delicious rum punch-like concoction with a perfect balance of fruit juices and a splash of sprite, making it a non-carbonated delight. (I tried it and loved it!)
Mickey’s Pirates in the Caribbean Deck Party
This high-energy deck party happens twice in the evening to accommodate both early and late dinner seatings.
Mickey and friends battle Captain Hook and his gang in an epic showdown, complete with sing-alongs and lessons on becoming a pirate.
It’s an interactive experience where you’ll help defend the ship from Hook’s dastardly plans!
Pirate Movies Under the Stars
Relax and enjoy pirate-themed movies like “Muppet Treasure Island,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and “The Little Mermaid” on Funnel Vision or at Buena Vista Theatre.
It’s the perfect way to unwind after a night of pirate adventures.
Dining with a Pirate Twist
While the Disney Fantasy may not have a full pirate-themed dinner, you’ll still find some pirate-inspired dishes.
We savored the Garlic and Parsley Sautéed Shrimp, Coronation of Mixed Leaves, and Chicken Pita Salad.
The jambalaya was a standout with its authentic seasoning and perfectly cooked shrimp.
Meet Pirate Mickey & His Hearties
Throughout the evening, you’ll have the chance to meet Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy in their pirate attire.
Don’t forget to snap a photo with Jack Sparrow, whom you can also meet at Castaway Cay on your private island day.
Bucaneer Blast & Pirate Deck Party
The night culminates with Jack Sparrow’s crew leading everyone in pirate sing-alongs, including classics like “A Pirate’s Life for Me.”
Select guests are even chosen to join Jack’s crew!
The grand finale features a spectacular fireworks display that will leave you in awe.
Nighttime Surprises
As the night winds down, return to your stateroom to find a Davy Jones blanket animal with chocolate coin dubloon eyes on your bed—a perfect ending to a pirate-filled day.
