Disney Fantasy Sets Sail on Five-Night Halloween Cruise
Theater programming included Disney's Aladdin, Frozen and Disney's Believe, while the pirate-themed evening featured the Pirates in the Caribbean menu.
Disney Fantasy departed Port Canaveral, Florida, on September 11, 2026, for a five-night Halloween on the High Seas cruise visiting Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay and Nassau. The sailing’s Personal Navigator handouts detail shore-access times, themed dining and entertainment across three consecutive port days and a final day at sea.
The program combined Halloween or cruise casual attire on embarkation night with a separate pirate-themed evening following the Lookout Cay call. Three Walt Disney Theatre productions were scheduled during the voyage, alongside a featured variety act and onboard movie screenings.
Captain Daniele Aschero commanded the ship, and Joel Ryan served as cruise director. Disney Cruise Line did not release an executive statement with the schedule.
Port calls and passenger return times
Embarking guests had a 3 p.m. onboard deadline in Port Canaveral. At Castaway Cay on September 12, the schedule listed an 8:30 a.m. start for passengers going ashore and a 4:45 p.m. all-aboard time.
The September 13 visit to Lookout Cay carried the same shore-access and return times. Pirate or cruise casual attire was listed for that evening.
Nassau followed on September 14. Guests could go ashore from 8 a.m. and had to be back onboard by 5:30 p.m. That evening’s attire was optional dress-up; cruise casual was listed for both the Castaway Cay evening and the September 15 sea day.
In the dining rooms
Royal Court, Animator’s Palate and Enchanted Garden all served the Let the Magic Begin menu on departure night. The opening day’s featured beverages were Crimson Curse and the non-alcoholic Jack’s Candy Corn.
For the pirate evening, all three restaurants switched to the Pirates in the Caribbean menu. Sunken Treasure was the drink of the day, with Parrot Song offered as the non-alcoholic selection. On the other three nights, each restaurant’s listing carried its own named menu.
On stage and on screen
The theater schedule began with Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular on the second evening. Kid’s Ace Evening of Wonder was the featured act the following night, while Frozen, A Musical Spectacular was scheduled after the Nassau visit. Disney’s Believe appeared on the final evening’s program.
