OFFICIAL The Pirates League Thread

Yes. We did this yesterday. All photos were on MM. No more prints though if you are MM. I did the capt hook got the scroll, name, oath, plastic sword and all the jewelry. Wife did the empress: got the same swag Son did jake: signed his name in a book, got a jake certificate and not sure about oath. I don't think he was supposed to, but they have him a sword anyway. Daughter did mermaid: signed name in book and got the makeup to take home but that was about it. One rub... I tried to modify the pose a bit in our family shot and they wouldn't let me --wanted to be more fun with my sword arm around My wife holding her "hostage" and the photog asked me to put the sword back high....grrrr.

Thank you. Daughter is currently signed up to do mermaid package, but I think she will be jealous of oath, scroll, etc. little brother gets with pirate package!

I saw this question was asked before , but could not find a response....will they link the pictures taken at the end of the experience to MM or do you still need to purchase card copies? Also, DD is doing mermaid makeover, so I understand she won't get a name scroll or take the pirate oath, but will she still get a photo? Thx, so excited to try this!!

The pictures are linked and you can still buy prints if you want but the prices went up. Two years ago we paid about $15 for each picture and last week they were about $34 a piece...but they did let us combine into one as we wanted the folder since it was DS first time. I got two pics of him and one of DD where two years ago we just received one print for each package.

What's the best time of day to do PL? I know my DS will probably want to do the parade, so I wasn't sure how long he'd want to be walking around dressed up. Thoughts or experiences?

I'd try for 2:00 or 2:30. Maybe do a quick after lunch snack just prior.

My daughter is going to be getting the mermaid package (unless my husband can convince her she wants to be a pirate lol). About how long does the appointment last? Her appointment is at 3 ( I don't know if they start to back up like BBB does). Trying to figure out how to plan the day but not sure how much time to allot for that.

Thanks!

My DD has done it 3 times about an hour.

Any pics of special ones they do for the Halloween party? Or maybe description trying to plan costumes....

Our appts are 2:50, and I understand Buccanneer Bridage is at 4:10. Unfortunately, I snagged BOG for 5:10. Will we make it? Thanks.

From what I understand, the parade is pretty short (15-minute range?) - you should be fine!

we're doing pirates league in December and my son is newly into Jack Sparrow. has anyone been recently? I'm wondering if we need to find a costume before we go or if we can get one there. I'm not seeing one on the disney store site. thanks

Yes, they have a Jack Sparrow costume, and a Skeleton (cursed) Pirate. They include hats with wigs and are almost $70. You could probably save money by finding one on eBay or Costume Express.

When I made our appointment the CM gave me 2:50 pm and said we would finish up in time for the parade. But I read somewhere that there's no parade on Party nights? This is Friday, Nov. 21st. I am a little annoyed.

Thanks!

My niece and I did the Pirates League last week. We had a great time. She loved being Zarina the Pirate Fairy - Tinkerbell loved meeting her and Captain Hook bowed down to her during the Festival of Fantasy Parade.

That was our experience on October....No parade because of MNSSHP. The folks at the pirates league didn't know about it.

I had read somewhere that the Pirates League stays open later on party nights (MNSSHP). Will I be able to get a reservation after 4:00 pm on a party night? I didn't want to use a park ticket that day. TIA

? Meaning the Cast on the phone or the cast at the location? The Cast on the phone do not work at the league, so they are only as reliable as information on a computer screen.

If it was one of the first parties then maybe that's why Cast at the league didn't know there was no parade, but it's been this way since 2010 so that's frustrating.

So far they have each year, but the times typically do not become available until closer to the party dates (maybe July/August). You can try before that, but don't be too disappointed when they say nothing's open and you have to try again.

Typically there are a couple people who will be on the hunt, so once the slots open up they share the info here on DIS (sometimes this very thread).

Awesome. Thank you!
