Hey there! I'm on the same cruise. We looked it up and there is a Halloween party on Oct 31st so we are bringing costumes for sure! If you have children, there will also be trick or treating happening for them. I found all the information here: https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=1981

 

See ya on the ship! :)

If there is trick-or-treating for kids, should everyone bring a bag of candy to distribute? Imagine the haul if everyone on the Escape did that![emoji23]

Last year on the Getaway, some of the crew, including members of MDQ, dressed up and participated in a "haunted corridor" like a haunted house for passengers to walk thru. They had fun. They will most likely do something like this again this year.

 

They did this on the Jade last year as well. A "haunted house" set up that you walked through in the conference room area by the theater. Very well attended, some families wore costumes.

I honestly considered it! I love trick or treaters and Halloween! But seriously, if we did, those kids would be going home with the whole chocolate factory. :')

My trip last year didn't have much trick or treating at all. There was a party on the pool deck with a lot of decorations and halloween themed snacks.

 

And of course (get the flames ready) the obligatory group Thriller dance.

We were on Halloween cruise on the Escape a while back. There was a costume contest after dark in Spice area. They showed Beetlejuice on the big screen. I'd say about 10% of people wore costumes, but it was tons of fun interacting with those who did. Especially after a few adult sodas.

 

My wife was Cruella de Ville. She looked dead on. I went as a homemade Goofy with big white mitts, floppy ears, doo rag, dog nose and proper colored clothing (used to be that character at WDW couple decades ago) and it was a huge hit. Cruisers really liked the fact I wouldn't speak or break character.

 

Have fun!!!!

I meant 10% of total people onboard dressed up.

 

almost everyone in Spice was in costume. and a good chunk in bars/casino.

Just to be annoying, Goofy can talk, Pluto can't. [emoji16]

Not at Disney World... none of the fully costumed characters talk... only those without charcter heads like Cinderella, Snow White, etc will talk.

I'm pretty sure they were referring to the actual characters - in movies and such.

We dressed up on the Epic - husband was wizard, I was a witch. Had a candy bucket for the kids onboard and also the crew, which went down well. Got changed after lunch and had a fun afternoon drinking by the pool, went to dinnner in costume and then on to the party at Spice H2O - and we were the overall winners!!

Many people only dressed up for the party, and there were all kinds of different costumes - would definitely do it again as we had a blast
