Avast, me hearties! Walk the plank to The Pirates League! Yo Ho!

by Jan 25, 2018

One of my favorite aspects of a Walt Disney World® vacation are the extra experiences available to guests looking for more than rides and characters. There are so many to choose from whether it’s a park game like Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, or a fireworks dessert party, there’s always something to “plus” your vacation, as Walt used to say. This past spring my family enjoyed one of these “extras”; The Pirates League at the Magic Kingdom!

The Pirates League, located in Adventureland® inside the Pirates of the Caribbean® Attraction store is a makeover experience for children ages 3 and older. There are various packages for both boys and girls that can turn your little one into Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, the nefarious Captain Hook, a sparkling mermaid, and more. Adults can even get in on the fun! Not to mention a pirate naming ceremony and access to a secret treasure room! It’s been one of the most magical experiences we’ve had in the parks.

The process begins with a special ceremony to determine your child’s pirate name. This is a fun start to the experience where you are led into the amazingly themed and decorated salon and your child is given a chance to turn a treasure chest connected to a ship’s wheel, to roll a pair of dice. The number your child rolls is then connected with their birthday to determine their moniker for the high seas!

 

 

Your party is then taken to the parlor area where they are transformed into the pirate (or mermaid) of their choice with the use of makeup and costume accessories. The number of accessories and makeup are determined by the package you purchased. Once their physical transformation is complete, they are made to take “The Pirate Oath” where they solemnly swear to uphold the ideals of a pirate!

 

 

After the makeover, your newly anointed pirate is led to a secret treasure room where they are given a skeleton key and allowed to access a special treasure chest. I won’t spoil that for you, you’ll have to see what the treasure is for yourself! Finally on your way out your child is given a wonderfully decorated certificate with their new pirate name and a copy of “The Pirate Oath”.

 

 

We were absolutely blown away with the level of attention and the amount of time they took with our son. The Cast Members were kind, attentive, silly and made sure our son felt comfortable and enjoyed the whole process. Not to mention that for the rest of the day my son was greeted as a pirate by almost all the cast members we encountered. He still talks about the experience frequently,  and it will stay with my family as one of the best memories from our Walt Disney World® vacations.

Reservations are accepted 180 days prior and are highly recommended. The make-overs vary in time but you should plan to set aside at least 45 minutes, and arrive 15 minutes before your reservation time.
