Like BMICKEY, we were on last year's Halloween cruise on the Magic. We didn't see any gory or especially scary costumes. The ones that stick out in my mind were a couple that were dead ringers for Johnny Depp's Willie Wonka, and his sig. other was Queen of Hearts. There was also someone with a Davy Jones mask/outfit (not the Monkee
) that was a bit scary.
The trick or treating was throughout the ship, with stations set up and manned by CMs. Half of the CMs were cops, and the other half robbers.
There was a costume contest for adults and kids, and the kids did a costume parade all over the ship - so cute!!
Of course, there was a dance party later in the day, with the cruise director leading games, trivia, etc. and lots of official Disney characters intersperced in the crowd.
I believe Halloween was a day at sea last year, so there may have been more going on than there will be this year on the Fantasy, simply because we will be in port this time.
You are all in for a treat!! We specifically signed up for another Halloween cruise while on board last year because it was so FUN!! (...and we love Halloween
)
