WanderLit Posted June 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone! I booked my first Disney cruise, 7 day western Caribbean on the Fantasy. Three generations. Myself, my daughter and my granddaughter. While I'm sure there are little girls going around in princess attire all day long, what about the adults? We would like to all three wear Minnie Mouse dresses to board. Me, like a 1928 black-and-white polka dot skirt. My daughter in a 1965 red and white polka dot dress and my granddaughter in the pink and white polka dots of today's Mickey's Club House style Minnie. For formal night, I'd like to wear my long flowing black dress and maleficent horns, my daughter, a flaming red-head, wants to wear her best Merida green gown. So how often, if at all, do adults play princess and villain dress up on a Disney cruise? Edited June 19, 2015 by WanderLit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how often, if at all, do adults play princess and villain dress up on a Disney cruise? I've seen it done. I was the Evil Queen for one evening, on one of our cruises the theme of the evening was Villains. DD & I wore long dresses (hers with a train) with tiaras on one formal evening. Go for it.

moki'smommy Posted June 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2015 On a DCL cruise, you'll see basically anything. Admittedly, the most "dressed up" night is pirate night, you will see people dressed in costumes on other nights as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erocrobro Posted June 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think that would make the best boarding photo EVER! You should try to come up with a clever family name for them to announce, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted June 19, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It was rare on my Alaska trip.... but a few adults had different costumes for each character picture photo appearance. Some had cosplay outfits. https://www.google.ca/search?q=cosplay&tbm=isch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking forward to reviving that mother-daughter hobby (and innitiating the next generation) as we prepare for the voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Rambo Posted June 21, 2015 #11 Share Posted June 21, 2015 We'll be on the Oct 24 Halloween on the High Seas Fantasy cruise. My question is -- do they have a masquerade night in which adults wear costumes? Many thanks Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Jennie No one knows what the plans are for this year. Last year, they had a "masque-parade" where any guest who wanted to could dress up.

sytrace Posted June 22, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The only time we dress up on the Halloween cruise is on Pirate night. This next cruise I am not even packing those. We had an extra suitcase of just costumes and shoes our most recent cruise in April. Never doing that again. :) Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddysdaddy Posted June 22, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 22, 2015 My wife, daughter and I all wore pirate costumes on pirate night during out last cruise. We didn't dress like pirates on our first DCL sailing and were so blown away by how many people put in a lot of effort, that on November 1 of that year, we went to the Halloween store and each bought a half price pirate costume (the day after Halloween is the absolute best time to stock up on costumes for the following year).

katiel12 Posted June 22, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 22, 2015 We will dress up for the Halloween night on our cruise and do something for pirate night, not sure what yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaDH91483 Posted June 23, 2015 #16 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I think it's a cute idea! One of my favorite clothing stores, Torrid, came out with a Disney line, so I bought a few of the dresses and wore them throughout the cruise and to Walt Disney World.
