Creator's Key Takeaways

We paid $800 for both of us to be there every day.

The food was below average.

We would not recommend Disney Cruise Line.

The level of effort that Disney put into these Halloween cruises is just zero pretty much.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your itinerary once you get to the port, as it's not available in the app beforehand.
Be prepared for limited adult activities and an overabundance of trivia.
Manage expectations for Halloween-themed elements, as they may be minimal.

YouTube Video Description

We’ve loved Disney our entire lives… so this one hurt. 💔 After dreaming for years about sailing with Disney Cruise Line, we finally booked our Halloween on the High Seas sailing aboard the Disney Magic—and what we experienced was not what we expected. From below-average food and “dinner shows” that didn’t quite feel like shows, to limited adult activities, overwhelming trivia, and Halloween décor that barely delivered the spooky magic we were promised… we’re sharing the honest truth. For $800 a day, we expected top-tier entertainment, unforgettable themed dining like Rapunzel’s Royal Table, magical Broadway-style productions (yes, even popcorn included!), and next-level holiday immersion similar to what you’d find at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. Instead, we found underwhelming crafts, crowded spaces, short character appearances, minimal trick-or-treating, inconsistent communication about events at Lighthouse Point, and value that just didn’t match the price tag. Even Castaway-style island days and brand-new destinations couldn’t fully make up for the lack of that elevated Disney touch. This isn’t hate—we’re lifelong Disney fans who truly wanted to love this cruise. But if you’re planning your first Disney sailing, especially a Halloween cruise, there are some things you NEED to know before you go. Would we sail again? Maybe. Would we recommend it right now? That’s complicated. Watch before you book… and decide for yourself if the magic is really worth it. ✨🚢🎃 #DisneyCruiseLine #DisneyCruise #DisneyMagic #HalloweenOnTheHighSeas #DisneyVlog #CruiseReview #DisneyFans #DisneyVacation #HonestReview #CruiseTips #TravelVlog #DisneyAdults ♥ Follow Us! ♥ Instagrams: https://www.instagram.com/d_e_tales/ https://www.instagram.com/david_ca_realtor/ https://www.instagram.com/_ollie_and_e/ https://www.instagram.com/e_tales_beauty/ https://www.instagram.com/_big_and_smalls_ 🌻 Website for Es handmade items!🌻 https://ollieande.com/ 💌PayPal💌 https://paypal.me/detalesvlog?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/paul-yudin/at-the-hotel License code: DBIES60SW9HQCE1U ✋This is not a sponsored video all opinions are 100% our own & are not endorsed or influenced in any way by an outside party.
