The Disney Cruise Line has a special way of getting everyone into the holiday spirit well before the season even officially begins, with their Christmas decorations rolling out even in November. Here are five delightful holiday decorations that you can expect to see aboard a Disney Cruise setting sail on November 2, 2019:
Mickey Mouse Gingerbread Houses
Disney cruises are famous for their gingerbread houses, but these aren’t just any ordinary gingerbread houses. Crafted with incredible detail, these creations feature Mickey Mouse and his friends in various holiday scenes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Edible decorations: Made from real gingerbread, these houses are edible in theory, though most people appreciate them as art.
- Interactive elements: Guests can often interact with characters posing for pictures next to the gingerbread structures.
Ornate Christmas Trees
The Disney cruise ships feature some of the most magnificent Christmas trees at sea. These trees are not just focal points for holiday decor; they are:
- Themed to the cruise line: Often decorated with Disney characters or nautical ornaments.
- Interactive Displays: Some trees have elements that light up or play music, making them a true spectacle.
Holiday Character Meet-and-Greets
While not a ‘decoration’ in the traditional sense, the characters dressed in their holiday best contribute significantly to the festive atmosphere:
- Different characters daily: From Mickey and Minnie in Santa hats to Goofy dressed as an elf, there’s always someone new to see.
- Special holiday outfits: Characters wear exclusive holiday-themed costumes, enhancing the festive vibe.
Holiday Light Displays
Imagine walking through the ship to be greeted by:
- Twinkling lights: Hung from every possible angle to create a magical ambiance.
- Coordinated Shows: The lights sometimes sync to holiday music, creating a stunning visual experience.
Holiday-Themed Stage Shows
Disney knows how to put on a show, and their holiday performances are no exception:
- Themed to the season: Shows often include holiday music, themes, and characters dressed in festive attire.
- Interactive Elements: Some shows encourage audience participation, making you feel part of the celebration.
As you enjoy your Disney cruise in early November, these decorations and events encapsulate the spirit of Christmas, making your holiday experience on board truly magical.
