If you think
you can only be made over like a princess at Magic Kingdom, think again! At The
Pirates League, next to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Adventureland,
guests ages 3 and over can get a pirate makeover. You can be transformed into a
pirate, empress or mermaid! Packages start at $39.95 which I consider to be a
Disney steal!
On our last trip to Disney, my nephews and my daughter were super excited to become a pirate! Unfortunately, my daughter was not feeling well that day, and she slept while her cousins had a blast! Upon arrival, you check in at the desk, and a Cast Member shows you pictures of the different face makeup available. You may choose between Blackbeard, a Zombie pirate, a Ghost pirate, Captain Hook or Black Eyed Jack. One of my nephews chose the Zombie pirate, and the other chose Captain Hook. Once you choose your pirate style, you get a pirate name. The child gets to spin the ship wheel and whatever it lands on, you then get to see what it corresponds with in the name book. One of my nephew's pirate name was Lawrence Helmwrecker!
All of this
is just the start! Now it’s time for the makeover. The kids take a seat, and
the loads of makeup begins. The Pirate Masters doing the makeovers are tons of
fun, in full character, and include lots of pirate humor. To top off the pirate
look, after the makeup is complete, the kids got a bandana, an eye patch, a
Pirates League sash, a sword and a sheath, and a little pouch for their “loot.”
Once a child’s makeover is complete,
everyone yells, “YO HO!”
All of the pirate energy is super fun! To become official, you must take a
Pirate Oath, and then receive a certificate. Upon finishing, you exit into a
hidden chamber in which you are sworn to secrecy to never discuss the contents
of the secret room. If you are caught sharing the secret, you could be made to
walk the plank! Uh, oh...am I in trouble?
This was a fun event, and I highly
recommend this experience!
One more
thing to share with you--I just love the magic of Disney! My nephews stayed in pirate character
throughout the day, and when we took the boat from Magic Kingdom back to our
Disney resort, the boat Captain played along. Every time we passed a boat in
the lagoon, the Captain would slow down for my nephews to “take over the other
boat.” When the boat would slow, the boys would go to the front of the boat
with their swords raised in the air. Everyone else on the entire boat would
yell, “BOOM BOOM!” It’s a memory we will all never forget!
Oh...the finished product! Best pirates ever!
