During our Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Magic, we met various characters in their new holiday outfits, including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy. The characters usually come out twice during the 5-night Very Merrytime sailing — on the first night and third night. Santa Claus only comes out on the third night and of course has a long line. The characters are usually in the atrium, on one of the floors overlooking the atrium, or in front of the Walt Disney Theatre. Check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app for meet-and-greet times and locations during your sailing.
