Disney Cruise Pirate Night – The Ultimate Guide

Sharing is caring!

Pirate Night on a Disney Cruise is one of the highlights of a cruise for many guests.

But what is really involved in a Disney Cruise Pirate Night?

It has become a huge part of the entertainment on a Disney Cruise.

Whether you want to embrace the Pirate Life completely or just enjoy it from the sidelines, here is a complete guide to show you exactly what is involved and how to make the most of the experience.

PIRATE NIGHT ON DISNEY CRUISE LINE

There are several elements to Pirate Night on your Disney Cruise.

It varies slightly on each ship, but the main things offered are the same.

• Pirates in the Caribbean Deck Party

Pirate Night Menu

• Late Night Buffet (not on all cruises)
• Buccaneer Blast Fireworks
• Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
• Pirate Costumes

The Deck Party

The highlight of Disney’s Pirate Night for many people is the Deck Party.

There are usually two shows, with the second show being followed by the fireworks. Sometimes there will be just one show.

Just like the stage shows each evening, the Pirate Night shows are designed so that you can attend the show whichever dinner seating you have.

The timing of the shows is subject to change so you should check your Navigators for the relevant time for your sailing.

The Pirates in the Caribbean Party follows basically the same formula on all the ships, with the exception of the Wish.

On Pirate Night on the Wish, this is Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party hosted by Captain Redd.

In a reference to the classic Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disney Park, Captain Redd is a descendant of the iconic redhead woman in the park attraction.

I won’t go into any particular detail about the show, except to say expect lots of singing, some Pirate Villains and Heroes, and maybe even an unexpected spectacular entrance from Mickey Mouse and Captain Jack Sparrow.

The grand finale of the evening is the Buccaneer Blast Fireworks Show.

I have written about where to pick the best viewing spots for the shows and fireworks later in this article.

All of the rotational dining restaurants will serve the same special-themed menu on Pirate Night.

Pirate Night Buffet

The Pirate Night Buffet always used to be a feature of the evening. Following the deck party at around 10.30 pm, guests were invited into Cabanas to have even more food!

However, since the resumption of cruising, the buffet only seems to be happening on a select number of cruises.

Even before the shutdown, it wasn’t entirely predictable as to whether or not there would be a Pirate Buffet.

Really, at this point, so late in the evening, the last thing I wanted was even more food! However, it was another fun element to the evening and it is sad to see that it doesn’t often feature anymore.

The Pirate Night Turkey legs were very popular!

What is the Best Place to View the Fireworks on Disney Cruise?

The highlight of Pirate Night is the fireworks. So you want to make sure that you snag yourself a good viewing spot.

Obviously, fireworks are in the sky!

So there are many good places to view this part of the evening.

However, some viewing spots are better than others.

The best viewing places depend upon which Disney ship you are sailing on.

Also, be aware that some spaces may be blocked off by Cast Members. This varies, but obviously, if space is blocked off from public access there is a safety reason, so just don’t break the rules.

Disney Magic and Wonder Fireworks

On Classic Ships the Magic and Wonder fireworks can be seen in the sky on the Starboard side of the ship.

If you stand at the Family Pool and look towards the Starboard side, that is where they will appear.

If you are on Disney Magic or Wonder Deck 10 is the place to be.

Most places on Deck 10 are going to give a decent view of the fireworks.

I tend to prefer Deck 10 anyway for Pirate Night as it is slightly less crowded than Deck 9.

The disadvantage is that you can’t then be on the pool deck for the Party. But I think that the benefits outweigh this, particularly if you are not experiencing this for the first time.

If you are on Deck 9 you will still be able to watch the fireworks from most places.

However, there are certain places on this Deck where your view will not be as good as from higher up.

Don’t stand to the far Starboard side under the Deck 10 overhang as you are going to have a severely restricted view here.

If you are sailing Concierge on the Magic or Wonder the very best place to watch the fireworks on Pirate Night is from the outdoor concierge deck.

The Concierge Deck is, of course, my favorite place to watch the fireworks. Unfortunately, you do not have a view of the Pirate Show as this is directly below you.

Having sailed many times though, if I am sailing Concierge I always watch from this deck. You get a great sense of the atmosphere, without having to deal with the crowds.

Another place to be if you do not want to follow the crowd is Deck 4 Starboard. Relatively few people will be watching from here as you can’t see the show at all. You can hear the music.

Deck 4 is a good alternative place to view but if it is your first Pirate Night you will probably want to be in a different place. It is a very different, much quieter experience here.

Disney Dream and Fantasy Fireworks

The Dream and Fantasy fireworks are also fired from the Starboard side of the ship.

One of the best places to view both the show and the fireworks is Deck 12 Port Side. The show is on Deck 11 which means that you will be above it looking down.

This location on the Port Side of Deck 12 gives one of the best views of the fireworks. However, do be aware not to stand too close to the AquaDuck as this can block your view.

The ideal spot to get a great view of the fireworks and the show is at the front of the railings on Deck 12 Port Side. However, be prepared to stake out this viewing spot early.

You can also stand on the Port Side of Deck 12 to watch the fireworks and you will be able to see the show on Funnel Vision. However, just be careful not to stand so that your view is obscured by the Aquaduck.

If you want to feel more like part of the show then Deck 11 is the place to be. Just avoid being under the overhang of Deck 12 on the Starboard side or you will not have a good view of the fireworks.

Deck 13 is a quieter location for two reasons. The first is that not as many people know about it. The second is because it is an adult-only area. This is an area for viewing the fireworks only as you can’t see the show at all from here.

You can also view the fireworks on Deck 4 Starboard. However, just as for Wonder and Magic, this is a very different experience. One probably not for first-timers unless you do not like being in large crowds.

Disney Wish Cruise Fireworks

The advice for the best places to view the fireworks and show is the same as for the Fantasy and Dream.

It is likely that when the Disney Treasure is launched in 2024 all advice will be the same as the Wish with regard to Pirate Night.

Can You Watch the Disney Cruise Fireworks from your Verandah Stateroom?

Only Verandah Staterooms on the Starboard side would have a view of the fireworks.

There is now a Safety Warning on the Disney Cruise Line App saying that all loose items should be removed from the balcony, the door should be shut and viewing should be from inside only.

Other Highlights

There are a number of other elements to Pirate Night including the chance to see Mickey and Minnie dressed up in their finest pirate outfits.

Of course, this is your big chance to meet Captain Jack Sparrow.

There will be special Pirate Night backdrops for photos, Pirate Trivia, and Crafts.

Disney Pirate Night FAQs

Here are some common questions about Disney Pirate Night on a Cruise:

When is Pirate Night on a Disney Cruise?

This is the usual pattern – but is subject to change so always check your Navigators.

• 3-Night Disney Cruise: Night 2
• 4-Night Disney Cruise: Night 3
• 5-Night Disney Cruise: Night 2
• 7-Night Disney Cruise: Night 4 or 5

Do all Disney Cruises have Pirate Night?

Not all Disney Cruises have Pirate Night.

Disney Alaskan Cruises and European Cruises do not have a Pirate Night.

The 2 and 3-night Australian and New Zealand cruises will not have Pirate Night. DCL originally confirmed that the 3-night cruises would have Pirate Night but then, in August 2023, said that this was no longer the case.

If you are sailing on a Disney Cruise from Australia I would suggest that you contact DCL directly to ask if there will be a Pirate Night, as the information at the moment seems to be contradictory.

Do they have Pirate Night on a 3-day Bahamian and Caribbean Cruise? Yes, there is a Pirate Night on a 3-night cruise.

What is a Disney cruise Pirate Night? All you need to know to enjoy swashbuckling at sea

What do you do with a drunken sailor? If you're Disney, you call him Jack Sparrow and send him rappelling down a ship funnel, of course.

Pirate Night, Disney Cruise Line 's ode to all things pirate, is a wonderful way to enjoy some outdoor fun during your next DCL sailing. In true Disney fashion, this event features costumes, themed games and parties, character appearances that can vary by ship, and a few other surprises along the way.

If this sounds like fun, that's because it is. Whether you're planning for all-in participation or you're just curious about what Disney Pirate Night entails, here's the rundown.

What is Disney Cruise Line Pirate Night?

Pirate Night on Disney cruises is just that — a night dedicated to marauder mischief, capitalizing on the fact that you're on a ship at sea. What better place to celebrate all things pirate-related?

Events kick off in the afternoon when kid-friendly game shows start up in the onboard lounges. Shenanigans carry through to the evening when passengers might choose to don pirate garb at dinner in one of their ship's three main dining rooms . After that, they can head out to the pool deck for fun under the stars.

Festivities are offered on most voyages, once per sailing; check your ship's Personal Navigator daily schedule for details.

Disney cruise Pirate Night activities and events

So, what can Pirate Night participants expect?

After a round of family-friendly fun and games, the bash continues with themed menu items at the onboard restaurants during dinner. Cruisers can choose from dishes like Jolly Rogers Barbecue Rib Salad, Pirates Gold-en Pot Stickers or even Chilled-to-the-Bone Honeydew Melon and Watermelon Soup from menus fashioned to resemble treasure maps.

When passengers make their way out onto the pool deck, they'll find a host of family-friendly games led by Disney cast members dressed in themed gear. They aim to hype up the audience, which is usually shoulder-to-shoulder, before characters appear as part of a giant pool deck party.

The general premise is that some sort of villain emerges to wreak havoc and ruin the good time everyone is having on board, only to be thwarted by the hero of the show. The latter is either Pirate Mickey, who zip lines between the top deck and the funnel in his buccaneer best to stop Captain Hook, or Jack Sparrow, who rappels down the funnel to take on a gang of sinister plundering picaroons.

A fireworks show often immediately follows most performances, weather permitting. (Disney Cruise Line is the only one that offers fireworks on nearly every voyage. Note that some sailings — including Alaska and Northern Europe itineraries — do not have fireworks.)

Oh, and remember: Costumes are encouraged. Whether you choose simply to wear the free bandana the line doles out to each passenger or you bring your very own custom-made ensemble that makes you look like a dead ringer for Blackbeard himself, you certainly won't feel out of place.

If you feel like splurging on the smallest pirates in your group, make an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, found on all Disney Cruise Line ships . For a handsome fee — one you thankfully won't have to pay in gold doubloons — stylists will dote on your kiddo, offering up costumes, swords, scars, eye patches, earrings and other accessories for a look that's fit for a plunderer.

Which Disney Cruise Line ships have Pirate Night?

Pirate Night occurs once on nearly every cruise on Disney ships. Here are more specifics about what to expect from each vessel's event.

Disney Wish Pirate Night

On Pirate Night, Disney Wish offers family-friendly games, a pirate-themed dinner and a nighttime pool deck show called the Pirate's Rockin' Parlay Party. There, passengers can gather in their pirate costumes to watch as Captain Redd — billed by the line as "a descendant of the famous red-headed rogue from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction" — and several of her pirate friends put on one heck of a performance set to well-known rock 'n' roll hits.

Keep an eye out for Jack Sparrow, who might just make an appearance. Additionally, the show is followed by fireworks.

Disney Fantasy Pirate Night

During Pirate Night, Disney Fantasy offers a packed schedule of activities, ranging from a pirate-themed dinner and family-friendly games to costumed pool-deck fun. Expect visits from some of your favorite Disney characters, including Captain Jack Sparrow, who rappels down the ship's funnel before the ship lights up the sky with fireworks.

Disney Dream Pirate Night

Disney Dream 's Pirate Night is similar to the show on Disney Fantasy. Captain Jack Sparrow appears to save the ship from a band of rogue pirates, leading up to a brilliant fireworks display.

Preceding these outdoor festivities are afternoon game show activities, a pirate-themed dinner and games for the whole family.

Disney Magic Pirate Night

Brace yourself for some nostalgia because, on Disney Magic , Pirate Night consists of appearances by cast members dressed as pirates who dance alongside the infamous Captain Hook. As he tries to make the night all about him, Mickey Mouse swoops in on a zip line to save the party and kick off the fireworks show.

Earlier in the day, cruisers can enjoy family-friendly games and a pirate-themed dinner.

Disney Wonder Pirate Night

Pirate Night, Disney Wonder 's pirate-themed bash, consists of afternoon family games and activities that carry through the night after the ship's pirate-themed dinner.

Out on the pool deck after dark, pirate lovers can expect the same show they'd see on Disney Magic — one where Captain Hook is bested by Pirate Mickey. Just before Mickey introduces the fireworks, he glides across the top decks on a zip line.

Disney cruise Pirate Night FAQ

Does Disney Cruise Line still have Pirate Night?

Yes, Disney Cruise Line ships offer Pirate Night once on nearly every voyage, weather and itinerary permitting.

How do I know if my Disney cruise has Pirate Night?

Since almost all Disney Cruise Line voyages have Pirate Night, your ship will likely host one on your sailing.

Do adults dress up for Pirate Night on Disney cruises?

Yes, adults are just as into dressing up as their children are. And if you're a Disney adult who doesn't have kids, you're encouraged to dress up, too.

Does Disney Cruise Line give you bandanas for Pirate Night?

Yes, all passengers on Disney Cruise Line ships will receive a free bandana as a souvenir. So, even if you forget to pack your pirate costume, you can still join in the fun.

Disney Magic Cruise Pirate Night — Everything You Need to Know

By Wendy Leave a Comment

If you’re going on a Disney Cruise , there’s something you should be warned about…

So we’re here to walk you through EVERYTHING you need to know about Pirate Night on the Disney Magic so YOU don’t walk the plank!

Pirates IN the Caribbean Deck Party

On Disney Cruise Line, Pirate Night can vary from ship to ship. For instance, on the new Disney Wish , passengers experience the Pirates Rockin’ Parlay Party .  Here on the Disney Magic… well, you’ve heard of Pirates of the Caribbean, right?

Pirate Night

You’ll gather with your fellow pirates on the pool deck for a nighttime party like no other. Disney pals and crew will entertain you with a show and teach YOU how to party like a pirate! But beware…

They may be joined onstage by some uninvited scoundrels and scallywags! From this point… well, I don’t want to spoil things. Let’s just say that someone very special just may show up to save the night.

Pirate Mickey

The entire thing is capped off by something Disney Cruise Line is known for: FIREWORKS AT SEA !

Now we pirates don’t like rules, do we??? HECK, NO! Still, we must remind that fireworks are weather-permitting.

Also, be aware that Pirate Night is part of select sailings, so check your itinerary on the Disney Cruise Line website, or with help from your Travel Agent .

Disney Characters and Costumes

The fun starts even before the sun sets on Pirate Night! As the ship prepares for the party, Disney characters prepare in their own way… by donning their best PIRATE COSTUMES so you can get a hug and have your photo taken with the cutest band of pirates you ever did see.

The Disney Pals Pirate Crew

Doesn’t Daisy make an especially pretty pirate?

Pirate Daisy

(Not to leave out Pirate Minnie, of course!)

But here’s the thing… Disney pals aren’t the only ones who get to gear up with gold hoop earrings, tricorn hats, striped shirts and socks, and… umm, HOOKS.

Captain Hook

You see, passengers are likewise encouraged to dress for the occasion ! And you won’t believe how many guests go ALL OUT for the big night.

Didn’t pack any pirate garb? That’s ok, matey! Disney Cruise Line has you covered, as every guest on the ship receives their very own Pirates in the Caribbean bandana to fit right in. (If you really won’t feel like your look is complete without an eye patch, though… you’re on your own.)

Pirate Eats

Of course, a pirate’s gotta eat to be ready to party, so Pirate Night features a special menu for dinner at each of the Main Dining restaurants .

Rapunzel’s Royal Table

On the Disney Magic, these are Rapunzel’s Royal Table, Lumiere’s , and Animator’s Palate . But don’t you fret… no matter where you are dining on Pirate Night in Disney Cruise Line’s signature Rotational Dining , the special Pirate Night menu will be served.

Roasted Privateer Strip Loin

Pictured above is the Roasted Privateer Strip Loin served with thyme-roasted potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding. Though subject to change, other options may include dishes like Jolly Rogers Barbecue Rib Salad, Vegetable Samosas, Pirates Gold-en Pot Stickers and Chilled-to-the-Bone Honeydew Melon and Watermelon Soup. Oh, and you’ll likely spy Rum-Soaked Chocolate Cake as one of the dessert choices, of course. AHOY!

Pirate-y Extras

Pirate Night fun extends beyond dinner and the deck party onboard the Disney Magic! You might join in on Pirate Trivia or a themed game show as one of the many onboard activities.

Get a little GOOFY on Pirate Night!

Lil’ Pirates may enjoy pirate-themed activities at their own dedicated clubs (like Disney’s Oceaneer Club or Oceaneer Lab for kids ages 3 – 12 years old).

Oceaneer Club

No matter which activities you’d like to participate in, you can refer to the free Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to find times and locations.

Didn’t have enough to eat at dinner? (HA! Like that would ever happen on a Disney Cruise…) Your itinerary might include a special late-night buffet following the deck party on Pirate Night ! (Your attentive server will let you know at dinner, if that’s the case.)

Cabanas Buffet on the Disney Magic

Oh, and you may just find another pirate has joined you as you finally head into your stateroom to dream of the treasure chest full of memories you’ve made during your perfectly pirate-y day at sea…

We’re sharing a complete guide for everything you need to know about the swashbuckling good time that is Pirate Night on Disney Cruise Line sailings!

Ahoy, mateys! If you are getting ready to set sail aboard Disney Cruise Line, you may want to pack your eye patch and secure your treasure because Disney Cruise’s Pirate Night is something you won’t want to miss. Pirate Night aboard Disney Cruise Line is a special-themed night that occurs on select sailings, complete with themed entertainment, dining, and an on-deck party. We’re sharing your complete guide with everything you need to know about Pirate Night before setting sail.

What Is Pirate Night?

Photo by Danny Shuster

Pirate Night is a special themed night that occurs on all five Disney Cruise Line ships: Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish. Bring your best pirate-themed outfit and dress for the occasion, as Cast Members and Disney Characters will be channeling their inner Jack Sparrow for the evening. 

From special events such as Pirates of the Caribbean trivia to special meet and greets, including rare character appearances like Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and Captain Jack Sparrow , Pirate Night aboard Disney Cruise Line is a fun-filled evening, perfect for the whole family. 

Special Activities During Pirate Night

Guests sailing on Disney Cruise Line during Pirate Night will find special-themed trivia, games, and even meet-and-greets with characters who will be dressed in pirate attire, making for unique photo opportunities. 

“Pirates of the Caribbean” will also be playing either on the Funnel Vision by the pool deck or inside the movie theater on board. Guests wishing to get into the pirate spirit may also stream the Pirates of the Caribbean films, or Peter Pan , via their television inside their stateroom. 

Disney Cruise Pirate Night-Themed Dinner

Guests will find a special pirate-themed dinner in one of the Main Dining restaurants. The wait staff, who will be dressed for the occasion, will greet you with a cheerful “Ahoy matey” and “Arrr!” making the dining experience unique from the moment you step inside the restaurant. Once you are seated, you will find a pirate party bandana at your seat, one for each guest (make sure to tie it around your head to celebrate the festivities!), as well as a special pirate-themed dinner menu.

Dinner items in the past have included options such as Jolly Rogers Barbecue Rib Salad, Pirates Gold-en Pot Stickers, and Chilled-to-the-Bone Honeydew Melon and Watermelon Soup. However, menu offerings are subject to change.

Pirate-Themed Deck Party and Show

After your special pirate-themed dinner, make sure to visit the pool deck for the Pirates in the Caribbean Deck Party, an entertaining pirate show which includes a fantastic fireworks display! For those sailing on the Disney Wish specifically, the show is not to be missed as Captain Redd, who Disney fans may recognize from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction , makes an appearance and even sings a rock rendition of the iconic pirate tune “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me).”

DCL Sailings That Include Pirate Night

What happens on pirate night.

• What to Wear for Pirate Night

About the Fireworks

Frequently asked questions, pirate themed dinner.

The party begins with a special pirate dinner in your assigned main dining restaurant. It’s similar to most main dining dinners but with a pirate flair. Servers will be dressed in their pirate-y best as well as many of the cruisers.

You will be handed a menu that looks like a treasure map with such food items like Jolly Rogers Barbecue Rib Salad or Chilled-to-the-Bone Honeydew Melon and Watermelon Soup.

There will most likely be some Caribbean dishes as well such as Tia Dalma's Jerk Chicken and Rum-Soaked Chocolate Cake.

Pirate Night Games & Activities

Pirate night actually starts in the afternoon when most of the regular entertainment shifts to a pirate theme.

A big hit with the wee lad’s and lassie’s is the Disney Junior Pirate and Princess Dance Party .

You can also get crafty and create your own pirate treasure with the cruise staff.

Later, Captain Mickey and his pirate crew host a Pirate Celebration on deck between the first and second dinners.

Do you like game shows? Then join in the fun at the action packed pirate game show at A Pirate's Life For Me or test your pirate knowledge by participating in pirate trivia.

So much to do!

Stage Shows

There are two pirate-themed stage shows on the pool deck.

The first show, which is more family-friendly and geared towards younger kids, will be between the two dinner seatings - around 7:30pm - and the second show is right before the fireworks which starts at 10:30pm. (Check your daily Navigator for exact times.)

The later show can be scary for some children if they are sensitive to loud noises.

(Don’t get me wrong, both shows are safe for kids of all ages; just be prepared if you have little ones who might be sensitive.)

The Big Highlight: Buccaneer Blast Fireworks

Buccaneer Blast fireworks are one the most anticipated events on a Disney Cruise .

This pyrotechnic spectacular is set to a dramatic score featuring songs from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies.

We go into more detail on this explosive show below including where the best viewing spots are. So keep reading...

Late Night Buffet

Finish off the night with - what else? - more food!

If you’re like me, I get hungry about every two hours when I’m cruisin’ so why not enjoy the late night pirate buffet in Cabanas?

The buffet usually opens around 10:45pm so it will be waiting for you once the fireworks are over. There will be a smorgasbord of food for you to indulge in including giant turkey legs.

What to Wear for Disney Cruise Pirate Night

M any guests will dress up in swashbuckling gear for Pirate Night... but there is absolutely no obligation for guests to dress up at all.

Everyone will receive a free Pirates in the Caribbean bandana to wear if they’d like. It will most likely be left in your cabin or given to you at dinner.

Some guests just tie on the provided bandana or put on an eyepatch and call it good. Some will go all out and be in full pirate costumes while others will be somewhere in between.

There really is no right or wrong here. It’s totally up to you!      

If you do want to dress up, most people do so to dinner and keep it on for the remainder of the evening. You will see your servers as well as Mickey and Minnie and friends dressed in in their pirate garb too!  

Before you start purchasing your costumes for Pirate Night, you need to know that any type of toy sword is prohibited on DCL and will not be allowed on the ship. (Note: I’ve heard that there are approved toy swords for sale in the shops onboard but I haven’t verified that.)

Pirate Night Costume Ideas

N eed some ideas? Well, I’m here to help!

Here are a few ideas to get your creative pirate juices flowing.

Idea #1: Online Costume Ideas

I personally love to shop Amazon because many of their costumes have free returns so if it doesn’t fit or it doesn’t look good on me, I just return it for free and try again.

Shopping without getting out of my pajamas? Uh, yes please!

Just make sure you see “FREE Returns” next to the price. If you see that then you can return that item for any reason and receive a full refund. You won’t even have to pay return shipping fees!

I did notice that Free Returns are harder to find on children’s costumes but on adult costumes it’s quite common.

Idea #2: Shop in Stores

I f it’s near Halloween then hit a Halloween store for costumes. Even better, if it’s the day or week AFTER Halloween you can get costumes on clearance. YES! I love saving money!

You can also check your local dollar store. They typically have a selection of pirate items such as eye patches, pirate hats, etc for cheap.

If you get on the cruise and realize you forgot something, the shops onboard the ship do have select merchandise available.

But if dad forgot his puffy pirate shirt, he’s out of luck. The onboard stock is mostly just for kids.

Idea #3: Get Creative

R ather not spend money on a costume? No problem. You probably have some items in your closet that will do the trick.

Just stick with the colors red, black and white and maybe throw in some stripes. That way you’ll be festive without being in a costume.

Here are some ideas:

• A white or black off-the-shoulder top or a black/white or red/white striped shirt
• A black vest
• A red sash belt
• A bandana (remember they give you a free bandana on the cruise)
• Black or red skinny pants, jeans, leggings or skirt
• Black boots (if they have buckles or cuffs then that’s a plus)
• Hoop earrings
• Bangle bracelets
• Pirate-y necklace (skulls anyone?)
• Heavy eyeliner 🙂

Idea #4: Keep It Simple

D on’t want to take up precious suitcase space on pirate garb?

Don’t sweat it, matey. Nobody'll make ye walk the plank.

Just throw on an eye patch and the provided bandana and call it good.

If you wanna do a little more, go with a simple Jolly Roger t-shirt like this one . They come in all sizes and colors.

Idea #5: Get Gussied Up at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

I f  you really want to take it to the next level make an appointment for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on the day of Pirates Night.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique transforms into The Pirates League just for the day where kids of all ages (yes, you too, Mom and Dad) are able to get pirate makeovers for an additional fee.

After your transformation you will be sworn in with a sacred pirate oath making you an official member of Captain Jack’s crew!      

Space is extremely limited, so be sure to book your appointment early.

How to Book the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique (aka The Pirates League)

Before you embark.

Once you are checked into your cruise, go online and view the My Cruise Activities page. This will show when the themed days and nights are scheduled and allow you to begin booking your Pirates League reservation.

Book While Onboard

Visit or call Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique during business hours. The hours vary so check the Navigator when onboard.

The following special packages are available only on Pirate Night at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

• Nail polish
• Coin necklace

Deluxe Maiden Package

• Everything in Empress Package
• Your choice of costume: an Empress gown or a T-shirt and tutu

Captain’s Package

• Everything in First Mate Package
• Your choice of costume: Jack Sparrow, Captain Hook, or Bony Pirate

PIRATE LEAGUE TRANSFORMATIONS TAKE 45 MINUTES

D isney’s fireworks are spectacular! While the the onboard display isn’t quite as awe-inspiring as the ones at the Disney parks, the Buccaneer Blast is still one of the most anticipated activities on the ship.

Disney was the first cruise line to introduce fireworks on their sailings and is currently the only cruise line offering a fireworks show at sea.

This event is weather permitting but Disney does their best to make sure that it happens whether it’s re-positioning the ship to a better location or rescheduling it for a different night.   

Disney’s Fireworks ARE Environmentally Friendly

The best place to view the fireworks on disney cruise.

Fireworks are launched from the starboard side of the ship - slightly aft of midship.

There are several good locations to view the fireworks, so I thought I'd list some of my favorites.

First, some definitions.  If you are facing forward towards the bow (front) of the ship...

• Port = left side of the ship
• Starboard = right side of the ship

On Disney Wonder / Disney Magic

Deck 10: starboard side, deck 10: port side -- just be sure you're not behind the funnels which may partially block your view, on disney fantasy / disney dream, deck 12: port side -- against the railing that overlooks the pool/deck stage.

This location lets you watch the pirate show below and still see the fireworks across the ship on the starboard side without having to move. If you end up closer to the outer railing that overlooks the water, be careful that the Aquaduck above you does not obstruct your view.

Deck 12: Starboard Side -- close to the outer railing overlooking the water

You can watch the stage show on the Funnel Vision. Be careful that the Aquaduck above you won’t obstruct your view.

Deck 11: Port Side

Don't sit under Deck 12 on the starboard side or you will have trouble seeing fireworks.

Deck 13: Starboard Side -- forward

This is an adults only area for guests 18 and up. You will not be able to see the pirate show that is on the Deck Stage from this viewing area but you will be able to enjoy the fireworks sitting in a lounger with a cocktail in hand.

If You Have a Starboard Verandah Stateroom...

Will there be a pirate night on my cruise.

Unfortunately, not all DCL itineraries offer a Pirate Night.

Due to environmental laws, the Alaskan itineraries and some European sailings do not have a Pirate Night.

If you are booked on one of these itineraries, make sure to check first before planning for pirate festivities .

Also, Pirate Night festivities don't take place on Disney Marvel Cruise or Star Wars Disney Cruise , as there are other celebrations on those sailings.

When is Pirate Night?

For specific dates and times, check the Personal Navigator or Disney Cruise Line Navigator mobile app once onboard the ship.

If you want to know what day of your cruise it will be before you get on the ship, call Disney at 800-951-3532 once you are close to your embarkation date.

You can also find out by looking online (once you’ve checked in ) to see when The Pirates League makeovers are available. They will only be available on Pirate Night. So the day you are able to book one of the Pirates League packages is the night you will have your Pirate Night.

You view this on the My Cruise Activities page on the Disney Cruise website .  

TRADITIONAL PIRATE NIGHT SCHEDULES (subject to change - your cruise may be different)

• 3-Night Cruise: Night 2
• 4-Night Cruise: Night 3
• 5-Night Cruise: Night 2
• 7-Night Cruise: Night 4 or 5

Not Everyone Hates the Pirate Night Menu on Disney Cruise Line

I’m not sure that I’d call myself a super-seasoned Disney cruiser, but I’ve sailed with Disney Cruise Line 9 times, and it’s become my favorite way to vacation. One of the things I discovered as I researched all the need-to-know topics for my first cruise back in 2016 was that there were a lot of people who didn’t care for the Pirate Night menu in the rotational dining restaurants. In fact, most of the advice I saw recommended making reservations for one of the fine dining locations on Pirate Night, skipping the menu altogether.

With most things, especially when it comes to food, I typically do my own thing and pay no attention to reviews as it’s such a subjective topic. If it’s too spicy, doesn’t have enough salt, or has too much of a certain ingredient, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the food is bad. I like to try things myself before judging them, as we all have different tastes.

When I saw the Pirate Night menu, I felt like it was pretty safe to say that nothing on it stood out to me as a must-try, so we skipped it on our first cruise and ordered room service . On cruises after that first one, we would try for a Palo dinner reservation, and if we couldn’t get one, we’d either eat at one of the quick-service locations by the pool or order room service. To this day, I have not eaten in any of the main dining rooms on Pirate Night, and I’ve been on 4 of DCL’s ships ! I *think* that might change during my next cruise, but the jury is still out.

I recently came across a thread in the Disney Cruise Line forum on DISboards.com where a poster flat-out asked what’s so bad about the Pirate Night food. I was honestly really surprised by how many others weighed in on what they love about it instead of what’s so bad about it, and I thought I’d share some of the responses here with all of you in case you’re on the fence about giving it a try.

Everyone has different tastes. For us it’s our favorite menu of the cruise – crab cake, shanghaied noodles and falafel are awesome. You will always find something you will enjoy on the menu. @xiphoid76 on DISboards

I usually get the beef option most nights (I’m a plain eater and I don’t do seafood). I enjoy the Strip Loin on Pirate Night very much. I prefer that over the beef offering on the rotational menu in Royal Palace/Court, and some of the other options on the 7 night cruises too. The corn bread (Johnny Cakes) is delicious too. I’m not a big fan of the nightly bread offerings but this is one I make a point to eat. @CamColt on DISboards

I don’t get it either, I quite enjoy the Pirate menu, but don’t care for the entrees. I get: Mango Soup, Baby Gem Salad and Samosa as apps. I then get two crabcakes as my entree and I love the sundae with the pineapple coconut ice cream. Once I learned to get the crabcakes as my entree….game changer! @Erica1016 on DISboards

Add me to the ‘I like the Pirate Night menu’ camp. It’s not my favorite menu, but I definitely look forward to it (and have had it a few times). For some, I guess it might be the cuisine-that menu has a Caribbean flair which some may not be as familiar with (or not like). Of course, everyone has their personal preferences; that’s just a guess on my part. @RedHead0186 on DISboards

I’ve only sailed once, on the Wish, and pirate night was my second favorite menu! The cornbread was delicious as were the crab cakes. The chicken was juicy and tender. I really enjoyed it. Actually, I liked it more than Arendelle, but not as much as 1923. @Aaryana on DISboards

This discussion thread has some great information, so if you’re looking for more details on the Pirate Night menu, head over to DISboards and join the discussion!

• Keep a travel journal to document your thoughts, experiences, and the pirate tales that unfolded during the night. Sketches, pressed flowers, or even a sprinkle of pirate glitter could be added to bring your narrative to life.

Capturing your Disney Cruise Pirate Night adventure is about more than just photos and videos; it’s about preserving the magical essence that makes this experience uniquely Disney.

As you sail back into the ordinary world, these captured moments become your portal back to a night where you danced under the stars with pirates and celebrated amidst the cannon roars of fireworks over the boundless sea.

Tips and Tricks for a Memorable Pirate Night

Diving into the whimsical world of Pirate Night is a one-of-a-kind experience.

To ensure you unearth the full treasure trove of memories, here are some seasoned sailor cruise tips and tricks to navigate through the evening smoothly and make the most of every cannon-blasted moment.

Planning Ahead

• Be prompt with reservations, whether for dining or pirate-themed activities. The early pirate catches the worm (or, in this case, the best seats)!
• Familiarize yourself with the Pirate Night schedule to avoid missing out on any cherished activity. A little planning goes a long way in ensuring a smooth sail through the evening’s events.

• Embrace the communal celebration. Engage with fellow guests and crew members who are all part of the pirate story unfolding around you.

Staying Energized

• Keep hydrated and have snacks handy to maintain your energy levels through the high-seas adventure.

Embracing the Unexpected

• Be open to spontaneous moments that weren’t in the plan. Some of the best memories are unplanned and come from fully immersing yourself in the pirate experience.

Preserving Memories

• Along with photos and videos, collect tangible memories like pirate merchandise or crafts created during the event.

Social Connection

• Share your experiences and tips with future Pirate Night adventurers on social media or travel forums. Your insights could help others discover the magic of Pirate Night.

In the sea of Pirate Night activities, these tips and tricks serve as your compass, guiding you towards a memorable adventure.

By planning ahead, embracing the pirate spirit, and being open to the whimsical twists of the night, you’re on course for a Pirate Night filled with laughter, camaraderie, and magical memories.

As the echoes of pirate laughter fade into the starry night and the Disney ship sails towards new horizons, the memory of Pirate Night anchors itself within the hearts of every adventurer on board.

This guide serves as your map through the buccaneer-laden festivities, steering you towards a treasure chest filled with joyful memories, whimsical encounters, and the magic that is quintessentially Disney.

Recapitulation

• Reflecting back on the phases of preparation, immersing in daytime activities, diving into the evening extravaganza, and capturing the whimsical moments, Pirate Night unveils itself as a unique blend of adventure, creativity, and communal celebration.
• The essence of Pirate Night extends beyond the event, residing in the memories created, the stories shared, and the camaraderie experienced.

Carrying the Adventure With You

• As you disembark, you carry with you stories of pirate shenanigans that will bring smiles for years to come. Each tale is a ticket back to the magical night where you danced under a sky ablaze with fireworks, amidst a sea of pirates.
• With every horizon that beckons, the allure of another Disney cruise, another Pirate Night, awaits. The magic continues to unfold with each voyage, each pirate adventure building upon the last.

Your Pirate Legacy

• Share your Pirate Night tales with friends, family, and the world. Inspire others to embark on their own pirate adventure, to experience the magic that awaits aboard a Disney Cruise.

Disney’s Pirate Night is more than just an event; it’s a doorway into a realm where the ordinary is swathed in the extraordinary, where every guest becomes part of a whimsical pirate tale.

Dos and Don’ts for Pirate Night on a Disney Cruise

Our top “insider” tips for everything you need to know about Pirate Night on a Disney Cruise. We will tell you all the ways to make the most out of Pirate Night on your next magical Disney Cruise vacation.        

Disney Cruise Pirate Night

Pirate Night, in my opinion, is the most scally-waggin’ super-awesome party on the high seas. It is something we always look forward to on our Disney cruises. I am often surprised how many people book a Disney cruise and don’t even know about Pirate Night! For many, Pirate Night is THE reason they choose Disney Cruise Lines over other options. If you have never experienced Pirate Night on a Disney Cruise, allow me to hel pyou out and give you some of the best “insider” tips.

Do know what to expect before you go

Pirate Night is primarily broken up into 4 main parts (none of which should be missed).

1. Mickey’s Pirates in the Caribbean

This is the first live show of the night and takes place on the pool deck. All of your favorite Disney characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy) come out in pirate costumes, interact with the audience, and lead you in some serious swashbuckling fun! Keep an eye out for Captain Hook and Smee- sometimes they are up to no good and try to hijack Mickey’s show/ship 😉

2. Buccaneer Blast

This show is a little later (also on the pool deck) and has more of a “Pirates of the Caribbean” feel. You will see Captain Jack Sparrow and his pirate crew. This show is also a lot of fun with funny pirate jokes and songs. It’s everything you would expect from Captain Jack Sparrow!

3. Fireworks

This is the only time on your cruise that fireworks will be launched from the ship. In fact, did you know that Disney Cruise Lines is the ONLY cruise line authorized to do fireworks out at sea? So don’t miss it! It is such a special experience that you will never forget. This happens immediately following the Buccaneer Blast show so keep that in mind if you want to have a good view of the fireworks (more on where to get the best view of the fireworks below).

4. Club Pirate

After the fireworks the pool deck becomes a dance floor that is fun for the whole family. There is a live DJ that plays upbeat, family-friendly modern music so you can dance the night away without having to worry about questionable lyrics for the littles. This is an activity that ALL ages will enjoy (even teens and adults)!

DON’T forget to bring pirate clothes/costumes

With Pirate Night you can go all-out or you can choose to be more subtle. It’s all up to you! For me, I think it’s fun to go all out. We love being on the search for fun pirate shirts and costumes the weeks leading up to the cruise. It just makes pirate night that much more fun. Look for clip-on earrings, fun bandanas, glittery fabric, and beads to braid in your hair. And don’t forget to pack extra black eyeliner so you can round out your perfect pirate look!

DO book The Pirates League in advance

The Pirates League books up fast. If this is something you are even just a tiny bit interested in, I would say just book it! You won’t regret it. This was one of my kids’ favorite things they did on the ship (and ours too). Adults and kids alike will love this experience! Before I go too much further, let me rewind and answer the question you might already be asking:

What is The Pirates League?

The Pirates League is part of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and is only available on Pirate Night days. Instead of being transformed into a beautiful princess (or prince) you are transformed into a pillaging, plundering pirate! Boys, girls, teens, and adults can all enjoy this fun experience.

Check out some of these before and after pics:

How much does The Pirates League on a Disney Cruise cost?

It really depends on if you are just wanting to get your makeup done or if you want to go all-out. Both are great options! Basically, the more expensive packages include a full-on pirate costume (sorry adults, the costume packages are only available for kids). See pricing for each package below.

First Mate Package (Adult and Child)

Price: $44.95 Includes:

• Choice of pirate facial effect
• Sword and sheath
• Unique coin necklace

Empress Package (Adult and Child)

• Shimmering makeup
• Nail polish

Deluxe Maiden Package (Child)

Price: $99.95 Includes everything in the “empress” package PLUS your choice of full costume

The Pirates League Captain Package (Child)

Price: $99.95 Includes everything in the “first mate” package PLUS your choice of full costume

This experience was honestly so much fun for everyone in our group. The cast members who do your makeover are hilarious and never break character. It is an unforgettable experience and in my opinion it is a “must” for Pirate Night! Once again, book it as soon as it becomes available to you online for your particular cruise. This experience fills up fast so book right away!

DON’T leave your kids in the kids club

Bring the kids to this one! They will love all the live shows and parties. It is a little late in the evening but hey, you are on a Disney cruise, let them stay up and enjoy it. Pirate night was pretty much the only time we didn’t have to drag our kids from the kids club (they usually want to stay and play). They had been looking forward to it for weeks and couldn’t wait to see what it was all about.

DO go to the Mickey Pirate character Meet and Greets

Check your daily navigator (on the app or the physical copy in your room) to find where the character meet and greets are for Pirate Night. Usually the characters are available for pictures before the party even starts so make sure you plan accordingly. You can expect to meet Pirate Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Captain Hook, Captain Jack Sparrow and more! 

DON’T show up late

In fact, show up a little early to get a good spot for Mickey’s Pirates in the Caribbean. You can get great seats just by showing up 10-15 minutes early. It’s worth it to get up close so your littles can feel like they are right in the middle of the action. They will love seeing all their favorite characters up-close and personal.

DO know where to watch the fireworks

Fireworks are ALWAYS launched off the starboard side of the ship. This is the RIGHT side of the ship if you are facing toward the front of the ship. The best place to watch the fireworks is on the upper deck on the starboard side. You will have unobstructed views of the entire show. We actually watched the Buccaneer Blast show from the upper deck (starboard side) right above the stage so we had a great, close-up view of the show and then a perfect spot for viewing the fireworks immediately afterward. Win-win.

DON’T Forget to get a turkey leg

On Pirate Night, the main buffet restaurant (Cabanas) hosts a “Pirate Buffet” from 10:30-11:15 (times may vary so check your navigator for exact times). Here you will find all sorts of delicious late-night snacks and foods including turkey legs! These are slightly different from the turkey legs you may find in the Disney parks but they are just as delicious. While you are there, check out the awesome pirate-themed food sculptures and decorations.

DO let loose and have a blast

Dress up, go all out, shout, and act like a pirate. Your kids will love seeing YOU dressed up and getting into character. Dance, sing along, play and enjoy! The more you get into it, the more fun you will have, I promise!

Disney Cruise Menus

by Prof. Cruise · Published January 30, 2022 · Updated June 12, 2023

There’s something you should know about me that might surprise you. I went on a Disney cruise before it was cool. In fact, I went on a Disney cruise before Disney Cruise Line even existed! You’re probably asking yourself two questions at this point: “how?” and “just how old is she?!?”

At 10 years-old I went on my very first cruise, a “Disney cruise” onboard Premier Cruise Line (they had a partnership with Disney that allowed characters on their ships and offered cruise, hotel, and theme park packages). I was reminiscing about that first cruise today with Paul Thornton as he interviewed me for the third in his series of cruise books and thought to myself, “even though I’m cheaper than Jack Benny (that should offer you a clue as to my age) and low-key hate Disney (Walt would want you to go easy on me in the comments), as someone who cruises for a living I really shouldn’t have let 30+ years go by between Disney cruises.”

So that got me thinking about planning a Disney cruise. And since food is one of the most important aspects of cruising, I was curious as to whether the quality and variety of food on Disney would justify the extra cost. I figured some of my readers may be wondering the same, so I reached out to a Disney loving cruise buddy and he sent along these recent menus (these specific menus are from the Dream and the Fantasy – other ships will vary slightly, but this will still give you a basic idea of what to expect).

He also sent me a primer on “rotational dining,” which I think sounds pretty unique and fun.

What’s “rotational dining” on Disney cruises?

It’s like speed dating with food! Disney ships have three main dining rooms with a different menu and theme. Each evening of your cruise you will rotate to a different restaurant (assigned to you in advance) with your same table-mates and wait staff. In looking over the menus posted below, the three dining rooms are: Animator’s Palate, Enchanted Garden, and Royal Palace. There’s also a pirate theme night that will take place in one of those dining rooms and I’ve included that menu as well.

I’ll spare you any further song and dance (you’ll get plenty of that if you decide to book a Disney cruise) and get straight to the menus. But if there’s anyone reading who has cruised on Disney, please chime in in the comments with your experience and your favorite menu items.

Disney Cruise Line’s Breakfast Menu (included)

This breakfast menu will be available in one of the main dining rooms and is included in your cruise fare.

Disney Cruise Line’s Animator’s Palate Diner Menu Menu (included)

Aminator’s Palate is one of the three main dining rooms you will “rotate” through for dinner. If you are on a Disney ship other than the Dream or the Fantasy the dining rooms will have different names.

Disney Cruise Line’s Enchanted Garden Dinner Menu (included)

Enchanted Garden is one of the three main dining rooms you will “rotate” through for dinner. If you are on a Disney ship other than the Dream or the Fantasy the dining rooms will have different names.

Disney Cruise Line’s Royal Palace Dinner Menu (included)

Royal Palace (called “Royal Court” on the Fantasy) is one of the three main dining rooms you will “rotate” through for dinner. If you are on a Disney ship other than the Dream or the Fantasy the dining rooms will have different names.

Disney Cruise Line’s Pirate Night Dinner Menu (included)

On most Disney itineraries there will be a Pirate-themed night that will take place in whatever restaurant you’re assigned for that night. Here’s the menu:

Disney Cruise Line’s Kids Menus

Here are the kid’s menus for a 7-night sailing. Each menu will also include an additional page with activities for kids to complete while waiting for their meal to arrive. Or for adults who forgot to charge their phone.

This is the kid’s menu for Pirate Night:

Disney Cruise Line’s Room Service Menu (included)

Room service is included for free on Disney cruises (except for specialty items noted below), but be sure to tip. I typically tip $2 per item ordered, but do whatever you’re comfortable with.

Disney Cruise Line’s Room Service Breakfast Card (included)

Hang this room service card on your stateroom door the night before and have a continental breakfast delivered the next morning at your chosen time.

Disney Cruise Line’s Flo’s Cafe Menu (included)

This complimentary outdoor cafe offers three food stations with the following options:

Disney Cruise Line’s Frozone Treats Menu (extra charge)

Cool off with a frozen beverage at Frozone Treats. Smoothies are currently priced at $3.95 for a small and $5.25 for a large.

Disney’s Vanellope’s Sweets and Treats Menu (extra charge)

“Ralph’s Family Challenge for one, please.”

Disney Cruise Line’s Palo Dinner Menu (extra charge)

This adults-only Italian specialty restaurant offers a prix fixe option for $45 or you can order à la carte.

Disney Cruise Line Remy Dinner Menu (extra charge)

At $125 for the prix fixe option (you can also order à la carte), Remy stands out as the most expensive specialty restaurant at sea. The French-inspired offerings are the work of two world renowned chefs, Scott Hunnel, from the award-winning Victoria & Albert’s at the Disney World Resort, and Arnaud Lallement, a Michelin 3-starred chef recently named one of the world’s 10 best chefs by  Le Chef .

These menus almost make me want to get a real job so I can afford them! That seems extreme though. Instead I think I’ll start subtly working on my in-laws, tugging gently on their heart strings: “Your grandson will love you more if you take us all on a Disney cruise!”

If my next post includes a photo of me pouting in 30-year-old Minnie ears with a “DONATE HERE TO SEND PROF. CRUISE ON A DISNEY CRUISE” button, you’ll know it didn’t work. And with that…

CLASS DISMISSED.

Homework (10 points): Share your thoughts on cruising Disney in the comments. If you’ve taken a Disney cruise, what did you think? If you haven’t, why not? Tips? Tricks? Highlights? Worth the higher cost? Not worth the higher cost? Favorite menu items? I want to hear it all! I love learning from my cruise friends, especially when they know way more about a topic than I do! Thanks in advance!
