I just called DCL and they know nothing of when pirate night is. I also asked if they would be doing the halloween thing. She also did not know.

Halloween thing? What do they do?

There was an annoucement last week that DCL is doing some kind of Halloween party or something like that. It starts before our cruise.

I saw that about the extra Halloween stuff. I was hoping that we get a taste of it. But I didn't want to get my hopes up. Lol!

 

[DaveH]

We have not experience this before so I can't help on that. We did cruise in December once. We did b2b 4 and 3 day. It was fun seeing the gingerbread house get more done as we went during the cruises.

I just saw a thread the Webmaster John started. He was announcing the Halloween and Christmas information. Someone else posted what cruises has these. Ours was not on it. It was said because it was DVC member cruise, DVC wanted to announce stuff when we board not before. I would like to see this stuff. It would not ruin the cruise for me if we didn't have it. I would be somewhat disappointed.

 

[funatdisney]

Thanks all for the responses. Some kind of an Halloween element would be fun.

 

[funatdisney]

Just a thought: maybe that is why there is some kind of confusion with the Pirate Party. Maybe it has to do with a Halloween event??

I would think that if they were going to host a Halloween "party" it would be nice to give us a heads up so we could bring some costumes.

DVC likes to tell you nothing. Nothing new there.

I found the press release for the for Halloween Celebrations on the Disney Cruise Line ships. The press release does mentioned that the Dream's Sept 29 sailing is excluded.

Here is the press lease if you want to read it: DCL Halloween Celebrations.



I hope DVC will add its own kind of celebration anyway.

Guess I can put that Tink costume back in the cedar chest.

Thanks for researching that. I read the press release and I certainly hope the DVC entertainment measures up to that. Sounds like a great idea.

LOL You're welcome.

We have plans to get tickets to the MNSSHP and I was considering not getting them with the possibility of a Halloween type of party on the Dream. I guess I'll get them now.

BTW, we go to DLR's Mickey's Halloween Party every year. It will be fun to go to both in one year.

Whats the best way to get a rental car? p/u at airport 6 days at hotel, drop off at port or park at port and drop off at airport? We really only want it for the time at WDW and the return. Considering the possibility of using DCL transfer back to airport.

IDK what we should do...

We have rented one way to and from the port. I would price the one way and then price the whole time and then add the cost of parking. My guess is it is much cheaper to rent one way. A couple of times it was cheaper for DW and I to rent one way each way then DCL bus. Car rentals has gone up since then. It is no longer that way for us. I know larger groups of 4 or more can save with towncar/van companies.

My FE gifts require a trip to Disneyland too!

So glad the FE's are coming along and with trips to Disneyland involved! sounds great! We better get moving on ours.

btw - the 2nd adult FE is now full.

So anyone who wants to participate but hasn't signed up yet, can still do so on the main FE group. I believe they have a cut off date set for August 15.

I'm a little bummed we're excluded from the Halloween festivities. Would love to try some of the holiday menu items they're promoting. This should be a lot of fun for all of our b2b cruisers.
