At Christmastime, Disney cruises are extremely popular with visitors, and in this post, I’ll cover some of the best things to do on a Disney Very Merrytime Cruise.

I will let you learn a little treasure about the Disney Very MerryTime Cruise: there are many exciting things to do onboard! So, stick please with me until the end so you can learn about everything you can do there.

5 Things To Enjoy on Disney Very MerryTime Cruise

• Mickey’s Tree Lighting Magic
• Castaway Cay
• Santa’s Winter Wonderland Ball
• Characters Wearing Christmas Outfits
• Gingerbread House

1. Mickey’s Tree Lighting Magic

All guests will be treated to a short “Mickey’s Tree Lighting Magic” performance to entertain them and feel welcome on a cruise.

Since I said “welcome,” it must be the first day of the cruise because Mickey and Minnie lit up the ship’s tree and an atrium with their friends.

Kids can also help Mickey and Minnie light the Christmas tree, so it’s an activity they should never miss.

Once the lights are turned on, you’ll see the Christmas decorations adorning every inch of the cruise ship.

A large crowd usually waits to see this show well before it begins, so arrive early to secure a clear view.

2. Castaway Cay

There is a special island in the Bahamas called Castaway Cay for Disney fans, and as soon as you step foot on it, you’ll be greeted by the sound of holiday music and the jingle bells.

Here, you can interact with Disney characters who will be serving you holiday outfit looks, and you’ll also see snowfall.

3. Santa’s Winter Wonderland Ball

A highlight of the cruise is the Santa’s Winter Wonderland Ball, held in the ship’s atrium lobby and featuring a performance by the cast of the Walt Disney Theatre, who sing a variety of holiday songs before presenting Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy will be there to enjoy all the performances. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime magical experience no one should pass up.

4. Characters Wearing Christmas Outfits

Disney is the place to be if you want to celebrate the holidays, as the entire resort will be adorned with lights, wreaths, garlands, and more.

Once you step on the cruise, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a holiday wonderland with Christmas-themed treats and characters dressed in Disney garb.

You can meet and talk to all the characters and get pictures of them.

5. Gingerbread House

Taking pictures in front of the enormous ginger house is a must. Would you like to know an interesting fact about it, by the way?

Each year, the four Disney cruises compete against one another to see which built the largest and most artistic gingerbread house, making it an interesting sight for visitors to take pictures of.

The aroma of freshly baked bread wafting from this gingerbread house is another appealing feature, but unfortunately, you cannot break into the house and eat the bread.

Wrapping It Up

Everyone should go on a Disney Very Merrytime Cruise at least once to fully appreciate the spirit of the holiday season.

Nobody does celebrations better than Disney, and this cruise ship is proof of that.

Children and adults of all ages are welcome to come aboard to have a good time, participate in various activities, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

It’s a great place for the whole family to have some fun.
