If you guessed the Pumpkin Tree aboard the Disney Dream, you are spot-on! This wooded creature is part of a very special collection of enchanted trees that adorn the Disney Cruise Line ships during Halloween on the High Seas.

Every year, from early September through October, the entire Disney fleet transforms into a ghoulish wonderland filled with frightfully fun events and activities, special decorations, unique menu items and themed parties. During these special voyages, each ship boasts a signature Pumpkin Tree in the atrium. On a special evening, a storytelling caretaker enlists families to help ignite a magical transformation of the tree.
