Can adults wear pirate costumes on the cruise ships?

With the change in the costume policy, I am not sure. I know that no one can have toy "weapons", but not sure about the costume.

Without a doubt - (not us, but on our cruise)

Wear it until they tell you not to, I say.

Yes, we saw adults dressed in pirates costumes. Furthermore, Disney will even leave you a bandanna for that night (in case you don't have anything).

 

[phinz]

Definitely.

 

[Christy13]

Definitely.

You all look great

I would say they look Arrrghful, but I'm not one for terrible puns...

(OK, I lied. I am one for terrible puns and dad jokes)

Love it.

I'm sure I know the answer to this, but I'd love to buy a hat for Pirate Night -- we cruise in two days. They *must* sell some on the ship, right?

Not really. You're more likely to find one at DTD or in the World. There's not really much for adults when it comes to costuming when onboard. There's an *excellent* hat store at DTD that had some pirate tricorns.

I heard about Disney World's policy about no more adult guest costuming. Is it the same on the ships (besides pirates)?
I don't have any actual costumes I would like to bring, but have packed real cloths that follow the fashion choices of some characters. A black dress and chiffon wrap that screams "Maleficent" for example, is something I'd like to wear to dinner on formal night. The biggest thing is the "three generations of Minnie Mouse" look. I have a pink dress with white dots for my granddaughter, a red full circle skirt with white dots for my adult daughter and a black 1920's skirt with white dots for me. All of us would add mouse ears. Mine with a hat and daisy, theirs with bows that coordinate with their skirts. We were planning on wearing these outfits for boarding day to get our bon voyage pictures in them.

Would we be asked to change?

If Disney stops allowing costumes on-board, they has better come out with an enforced dress policy (as if that would happen).

BTW what is the difference between those in costume and those dressed up? Nothing. Both parties want to put on clothing and look good for an occasion, feel they look good in what they are wearing and feel special in what they have chosen. Ban costumes on-board and you might as well ban formal dress as well. Heaven forbid someone conceal something dangerous within a tux or under a gown.

Aw, shoot, then. Since we fly in Friday (MCO Hyatt baby!) and sail Saturday, no way to shop at DTD before then. Bummer.

I know for sure they have the Minnie pirate headbands like what they sell outside pirates of the Caribbean at Disney world because I almost bought a pair but didn't but I will definitely buy them next time. I feel like there was a hat for boys too but I can't think of exactly what it looked like. I just think it was black. I'm not sure if they fit adults. The headbands are fine for kids or adults.

"Disney bounding" Wow! I had never heard that term before. I googled it and YES YES YES that is exactly the kind of thing I want to do! Thank you lizabu. I learned a new word and a discovered my niche of Disney fan culture!

There are pages on Facebook you can follow and people post their outfits. You might even see some bounds you never thought of before.

I talked to Disney directly and adults CAN wear costumes on board.

Lizabu, thank you!

Just came back from being on the Fantasy. My DS was made up as Jack Sparrow in BBB.There were several adults in there having makeup done, as well. They do not have full costumes for adults but they do have accessories (eye patch, fake earnings) and will do pirate makeup.

I just got back as well -- Jan 2 - 9 on the Fantasy. There in fact were a number of hats and pirate mouse ears available. Just not full adult costumes. Plenty of people were wearing them, though.
