that is funny we are going to criss-cross! We get off the Dream on the 31st and will be heading to the parks for a few days!! (also first cruise ever)
I see that 2 of you look like you will be on the same cruise as my family!I'll be getting off the Dream on the 31st, too. But I'll be heading right to the airport as although the kids will love this surprise cruise with my sister and their cousin - Halloween is when it finally cools off in Arizona and we usually help host our block party.

It will be our very first cruise. I wasn't sure about the whole Halloween theme thing, but the days work out great with our school schedule.
I made a cruise meet and FE group post here on the DIS boards. Are you interested in participating too?
I was just on a Halloween cruise on the Fantasy in October, and it was more like what I bolded in your original quote. Decor in the lobby (see above pictures) and select activities, which you can easily avoid (if you so choose) by checking out the Navigator. They also had some special things in the dining rooms/bars - for example, Pumpkin Spice Latte at Cove and Vista Cafes, specialty adult drinks at the bars, etc. And merchandise, of course. But the biggest difference will be in the atrium with the decorations.Hello all!
My family and I are thinking about taking one of the October Cruises on the Magic from New York. I'd love to know what previous Halloween themed cruises have been like. Are most of the activities Halloween themed? What about the entertainment and parties? My family and I don't celebrate Halloween so I'm just curious as to whether it's something that's going to completely encompass the entire sailing or if it's a one night party and select activities that we wouldn't necessarily have to attend. Any help is greatly appreciated!
The thread I started for the Oct 28 Disney Dream 3-day cruise is http://www.disboards.com/threads/disney-dream-oct-28-2016-3-night-cruise.3485630/ on the cruise meet thread. My boys and I have been anxiously awaiting someone joining!Please let me know where the thread is. I'm not sure if I will do FE this cruise yet. I'm surprising my kids this time and the planning on prepping for FE might be too much to keep secret - but I'll decide on that when it gets closer. Would still love to join the meet either way!
We went in October '14 and '15 and it was so much fun. The first time it was very low key and DH won an award for a homemade costume. Last year was so different - a very big deal! The costumes were fabulous and his quaint attire didn't have a chance! The decorations were all over the ship and the evening of the contest and entertainment was fun for people watching. People wore their costume to diner, and the children were darling. Even if you don't participate, you will enjoy it. Oh, in '14 there were some questionable costumes (not appropriate around children), but last year was fine.Hello all!

We prefer cruising in October as the weather is usually perfect. The water is warm, althugh we had one chilly, windy day on CC.What was the weather like in October? We have only cruised in January and we find it to be just perfect temp wise but the water temps are cold! We are really wanting to enjoy Castaway Cay water as January was just too cold. Would October give a better chance for warmer water?
