Sail Away Deck Party: Get ready to party when you step onto the Disney Fantasy! You’ll be joined by Disney characters who are ready to celebrate the beginning of your cruise.

Pirate Night: Check your itinerary for this swashbuckling event. Your entire family will want to dress the part as this event spans through dinner and into the night. Pirate-themed games, meet-and-greets and more will end with a spectacular fireworks show. Just be aware that fireworks are not permitted on some Alaskan sailings on the Disney Fantasy.

Seasonal Celebrations: If you’re going on a Very Merrytime, New Year’s Eve or Halloween on the High Seas itinerary, make sure to check the daily schedule for additional seasonal deck parties.

Disney's Believe: Enjoy a spellbinding musical about a workaholic father who reconnects with his daughter through a little Disney magic.

Disney's Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular: Enjoy an uproarious live performance based on the Disney animated classic, Aladdin.

Disney never disappoints in the entertainment department and the Disney cruises are no exception. You’ll find amazing Broadway-caliber productions on each ship.

No matter which ship you pick, you’re sure to love the signature performances! Don’t forget that you can even catch first-run movies in each of the ships’ Buena Vista Theatre. There’s entertainment for kids of all ages on the Disney cruise ships!

Disney Cruise Line Fireworks at Sea: Fireworks are exclusively offered during Pirate Night, where your family will get to dress up like first-rate Buccaneers and dance off with some classic characters. After a few dances and games, prepare to be amazed as you experience a firework display only Disney could put together.

It’s important to note that not all itineraries include Pirate Night or the firework display, so make sure to check with your Get Away Today agent when choosing your itinerary if this is something your family doesn’t want to miss!

Some lounge areas are open to all ages during the day but are 18 and older during evening and night hours. Every ship has a variety of bars, lounges and pubs on board. Snacks are included but specialty and alcoholic drinks are not.

Some of the most magically themed adults only areas are:

• Quiet Cove on every ship offers a pool and lounge space for adults only
• The Tube on the Disney Fantasy
• Azure on the Disney Wonder

Youth Clubs on board are free for children ages 3 and up (and fully toilet trained). While your children play in themed clubs for every age, they’ll enjoy the interaction with other kids their own age and participate in staff led programs by specially trained Disney counselors.

Each ship is set up with unique themes and play spaces to accommodate specific age groups and interests. For example, on board the Disney Dream, Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Fantasy or Disney Wish, children can enjoy any of these spaces below.

• Andy’s Room: Reach for the sky! Hang with Hamm, Rex and the rest of the gang from Disney·Pixar’s Toy Story trilogy as this colorful world comes to life!
• Disney Infinity Game Room: Test your skills with an archery challenge, get revved by the Disney Racers program or summon your inner Picasso with Infinity Draw.
• Pixie Hollow: Visit the whimsical world that Tinker Bell and her fairy friends call home! In this fanciful forest setting, play dress-up, work on individual craft projects, use kid-friendly tablets and listen to stories.
• Star Wars: Millennium Falcon: Join the Rebel Alliance in this intergalactic arena! In addition to arts and crafts, kids can design a starship, train like a Jedi or climb into Han Solo’s cockpit and send the “fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy” soaring through the Star Wars universe!

Teens also find their own space at The Vibe. While the Vibe experience aboard each ship differs, the idea behind them is the same: Vibe provides Guests ages 14 to 17 with their own special place where they can break off from the family and connect with other teens from around the world. And it’s all included in your cruise price!

While there’s water all around, there are also tons of freshwater pools, splash zones and waterslides at sea. These spaces are perfect for family time and soaking up some sunshine.

Depending on your sailing and ship, you’ll find plenty of space to play like:

• Satellite Falls
• Nemo’s Reef
• Goofy’s Pool
• Mickey’s Pool
