Ahoy there! We’re coming to you from the middle of the ocean aboard the Disney Dream!

There she is! The Disney Dream

We’re here to experience the Very Merrytime Cruise and get into the holiday spirit. We’ve already loved being on board and experiencing all there is to offer, but we couldn’t miss the very special tree lightning that happened last night — and wanted to bring you with us!

During this special holiday cruise, there’s a Christmas Tree Lighting that takes place on your first night on board. You can find information about it in your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. We headed down to the atrium to get a good spot…along with…everybody else, apparently.

The dark room before the lighting

Tons of guests were gathered around the tree to watch the lighting. Some of our favorite characters started off the event and counted down to the big moment with us.

Almost time!

And once the tree was lit, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus came out to say hello and wave to the crowd! The whole room was lit up and it really made for a fantastic start to our first night.

There they are!
