Pirates Event-Costumes or not??

[StacyPop]

Just wanted to find out if people are dressing up for this event. I am not a costume person, but if everyone else is dressing up, then I will!
I need to get a head start though, so anyone??

[kjkcool]

I'm just wearing my POTC shirt,Pirate Princess hat,shoes,necklaces,and bag.
Normal clothes

[athenna]

Well, you asked:lmao:

I have a Pirate dress that I wore to the P & P party, so I am thinking maybe I'll wear it the night we go to the movie?
That night I also wore all my Will Turner pins, I have a WT purse someone made me from e-bay..I wear my CJS rings every day anyway, I have a CJS dingle for my hair....I have 3 or 4 POTC t-shirt, jogging suit, sweat shirt, etc, etc.

I know you didn't ask all of this, but I have an obsession:lmao:

[~Kathie]

I'll be dressing in costume. I'm not sure for what yet. Most likely for the Pirates dinner and the movie. For the other times i have a few Pirates shirts and accessories.

It's going to be a fun time!

There was another post about costumes........I'll see if I can find it and bump it up. Found it and bumped it up. It's the thread about the Merchandise.

[StacyPop]

cool thanks. I am still undecided. DD will dress up, no doubt about that....but still not sure-I dont want to be the only "grown up" in costume :)

[athenna]

You won't be...Just go for it, it'll be fun!
:banana: :banana: :banana:

[StacyPop]

I probably will. Maybe I will pack a change of clothes just in case I feel ridiculous. I have almost talked my husband into dressing up for the P&P party in Setp-so that way, I will be able to wear it twice.

[Parkhopper]

DH and I will be dressing up (and I mean WAY up!).

Suzipirate:

[athenna]

Cool Parkhopper!
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Mary & I have costumes for the two dinners (one is a wench costume and then a pirate costume). We are thinking of wearing the wench costume for the Thursday dinner and movie.

Ditto!(cool) I cant wait to see what everyone looks like, I am talking myself into it-found a nice costume online-now I just need one for DD7!princess:

EDIT: I figure the movie night too-and the dinner before it.

Where is everyone getting their costumes? I am not that handy-will have to buy all my stuff!

[athenna]

My wench dress is the last one on this page:

[Figment2]

And my wench costume is in the first line, second picture! Mary & I bought shirts on ebay for the pirate costume. The shirts we bought were very well made and very reasonable.

Cyn

[athenna]

Cool, Figment, I liked that one a lot, too:thumbsup2

[~Kathie]

This is going to be great!!!

[StacyPop]

Yes it is. Kathie-where did you get your costume?

[kjkcool]

My grandparents are going to stick out like sore thumbs!lol
No costumes or POTC clothes.
I'm glad they love me so much,or they'd probably kill me for putting them in the middle of pirate central.
They have no clue!lol

[StacyPop]

haha! They will have fun anyway-How can you not have fun in Disney?! Get them some eye patches and a bandana to wear ....

:rotfl: :rotfl: (I'm picturing grandpa in an eye patch!):rotfl: :rotfl:

[athenna]

Aye think he'll fit right in:lmao:


Seriously, they'll have a great time no matter what!



pirate:

[~Kathie]

Yes it is. Kathie-where did you get your costume?

Here and there. :lmao: I made it myself. Not literally sewed it, just put it together with clothes I found at various stores over the course of time. I wore it to the Pirate Event in NYC last July and at the Pirate Party on the DCL in October. I've updated it a bit and am working on a second costume.

If you look at the Pirate costumes being sold, anyone can come up with something to wear and not spend a ton of money. A stripped t-shirt or a Pirates of the Caribbean t-shirt and old jeans ripped off below the knee would work. Add a pair of sandals, an eye patch and a bandana.....good to go.

Check out the clearance racks at Walmart, TJMaxx, Marshalls, Target and Kohl's. Think "wench" or "Pirate" and see what you find. Another good place is thrift shops. The SA near me had yarn shawls for $2.00. Great for an overskirt. Find one of those tier skirts on sale and go from there. Everyone is selling those corset (lace up front) shirts.......right in style!! :thumbsup2

If you want to wear pants...buy those PJ capri's at Target. They have stripped ones and they're inexpensive. Kohl's had Pirate socks on clearance, get ones to match the pants and tuck the end of the pants into the socks.
Or add a pair of ankle boots. There are thousands of possibilities.



:rotfl: :rotfl: (I'm picturing grandpa in an eye patch!):rotfl: :rotfl:

He would fit right in and probably have a ball. They sell black eyepatches at Walmart in the health and beauty section and they're not expensive, maybe under $5.00.

I'm really looking forward to going and seeing everyone.

I have the perfect plan. Secretly buy an eyepatch for my grandpa, hopefully some huge hoop earrings for grandma and a neat bandanna maybe one for each,all depends on how my stash runs,looking at the pics for LE POTC3 pins and event ones,I'll be bankrupt and I don't even have a bank account yet. Wrap them up,tell my grandparents I have a special surprise for taking me to Florida at such a neat time for such a neat thing. Wait until the day of and......shazam!Instant pirates!!!!! Gram will be up for it,she's a great sport. Gramps,he'll be alittle tougher......actually alot tougher. Until he falls asleep in the movie theater.....lol!

[Flitter]

Mine is very much like Foigment2 since I copied off of her costume. I found bits and pieces at a lot of different places.

[StacyPop]

I ended up ordering one-I am not handy and have no time-but I am getting excited. DD is bursting at the seams that I am going to dress up with her. I keep telling her it is not for 2 more months but she keeps asking me about the costumes. it is going to be really fun. Hope I dont feel ridiculous-OH well!

[Figment2]

Stacy - there will be people who will stare but stay in character. Flitter (Mary), another friend and I dress up as the three fairies for MNSSHP and it's a hoot when we stay in character.

Cyn

[athenna]

You won't feel ridiculous! You'll be fine and you'll be in good company!:thumbsup2

[StacyPop]

Great! I will post some details of my costume when I get it so you guys will know who i am!

[Parkhopper]

An update to the disneygallery website shows that in addition to Jim Byrkit (Storyboard Artist), Disney Legends Alice Davis and Harriett Burns will be there for the WDCC Seminar.:cool1: :cool1:

Also Pin Trading Night at the Contemporary was just announced to be May 25 from 6-9pm!! Hopefully a lot of people who are coming into town for the event, or even for the holiday weekend, will come out to trade!!

I've never been to a pin trading night....how are they?

[athenna]

Parkhopper-I noticed this yesterday!!! Very excited about that!!:woohoo:

[karrit2000]

Hi Kathie,

I wondered if you were going to the event. I'll be there too. I'm working on trying to put together a couple of costumes myself.

I wish I could tell you. WDW used to have pin trading on Thursday nights at the All Star Food Court and on Fridays at the Contemporary Resort in the area between the shops. All pin trading nights were discontinued a bit ago and they just recently started doing one PTN per month at one of the ballrooms at the Contemporary. We have not been able to make any of the new PTN at the new location.

Perhaps someone who has been lucky enough to go recently can answer this one.

Hi Karyn!!! :wave:

It's going to be a great event!! I'm still working on the costumes too. I'm getting there. :rolleyes1

See you there!!! pirate:

[StacyPop]

Yay! Another costumed attendee!

[karrit2000]

My friends may think I'm weird but what's a Pirate event without the costumes? My stuffed Stitch already has his. Of course if I don't get the new ones sewn I may have to revert to what I threw together for MNSSHP a couple of years ago complete with Pirate Mickey Ears.

[StacyPop]

Just got my seating request-who wants to sit with DD and me??
Anyone going without a group? I thought it would be fun for us DISers to sit together.
I can fill out the Seating Request if anyone wants to join us!

pirate:

[StacyPop]

I can hear the crickets :(
I will try and make a new post for this.

[kjkcool]

Has anyone ever gotten a first and second choice on a RSP selection? I didn't know where else to put this!!!

[karrit2000]

It depends on what you mean by 1st & 2nd choice. I generally don't try for the super low edition size items. I look at what I want to get and depending on the edition sizes I will put whatever has the lowest edition size as my #1 choice and so on. Like for theis event I want the Pirate Mickey statue which has an edition size of 150 so since I really want that item it is my first choice. Number 2 is the Pencil sketch since that has an edition size of 250. The pins that are edition sizes of 1000 or 1500 should be available to everyone on the first go round so they go torward the bottom of my list. Hope this helps. The second & third RSP rounds are for if you want more than one of a particular item.

I mean like 1st 2nd and 3rd Item preference, only one go around. I put a LE pin set of 500 on all three lists as 1st choice and a LE pin of 1000 as 2nd. The LE of 1000 is Jack Sparrow and I'd die if I didn't get it!!!

[Babette]

Lee Arenberg has been listed as a guest for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 events. He's Pintel from the PotC movies. Sooo glad they finally have more connection to the movies as part of the itinerary!

Excellent news!!!

Thanks for posting!!! :thumbsup2 pirate:

[karrit2000]

Based on what you say you listed you should get both items. I'd be very surprised if you didn't. I think the 1000 Jack Pins are more than enough to insure that everyone would get it who requested it.

This is my first Event.. so I am so glad I found this thread. I have been trying to decided if I should wear a costume to the dinner. I'm going solo and was afradi of showing up and being the only wacko dressed up or showing up and being the only wacko not dressed up!

Have y'all done theses before? I'm a Disney nut and been to WDW 200 or so times in the last decade, but never to one of thes thingies...

[athenna]

I'll be a solo traveller, too (even though I'm meeting up w//folks for the dinner & the movie) and I'll be dressed up in for that night...I think it's adds to the fun...It is my 1st event!:banana:

I have decided to wear a costume for the Thursday night dinner and the stuff afterwards (movie, auction, etc). Mine is red and black with skulls :)
DD 7 will be dressed up in costume too. I have also never been to one, but I am starting to get excited-12 more days!

I think we should start a thread posting pictures so we will recognize other DISer's. Yes?
Anyway-welcome! It will be lots of fun!

[Figment2]

Mary (Flitter) and I have two costumes. We'll be pirates at the dinner Wednesday night and wenches on Thursday night. The pirate costumes are definitely more comfortable so not sure if I'll be changing after dinner on Thursday (before we go to the movie).

Anyone up for drinks at the Outer Rim on Thurs. night either after dinner or after the auction?

Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Mary & I have something to share so be sure to find us!

Cyn

[StacyPop]

I would love to meet up! Where is that? And can I bring DD 7 in there.
She loves a good shirley temple :)!
My only costume is a wench costume, but I am hoping it will be comfy enough to stay in it.

[Figment2]

Stacy - Outer Rim is the bar near the Concourse Steakhouse & Chef Mickey's. Your daughter will be fine there.

Look forward to meeting you & your daughter!

Cyn

[mgkmouse]

OK... I'm convinced a Costume it is. At least for the dinner anyhow ( this is why my DW is sending me down alone he heh heheh). Though I have no idea where I'm sitting or with who whom who ever...

[mgkmouse]

This is going to be great!!!

Katink I saw little rody as you home..
do you know of a town called wickford? MGKmouse (me) was once a swamp yankee born and bred there...

Almost here!

I do know Wickford....beautiful little sea town. I've been several times to the Wickford Art Festival.

I live in the Northwest corner of Rhode Island in Johnston near the Smithfield Scituate line. I am also Rhode Island born & bred. :yay:

Do you ever get a chance to "come home?"

[mgkmouse]

We get to New England about once a year. Stop at Capitol Hill for NY System Weiners and then head out to New Bedford (familial obligations).. have not lived there since I was 20 something LOL so uhm 20 something years ago...

[mgkmouse]

I did not see as nearly as many in character gursts as there were posts saying everyone was dressing up!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl2: :laundy:

[athenna]

I agree!
I did dress up for dinner & movie!

DIS'ers were a small group compared to the massses that were in the event. There were a LOT of people.

Griffin, it was nice to meet you. Nicve to meet Lisa too and saw Flitter (Mary) and Figment 2 (Cyn). Athenna, sorry we never connected.

Vince, Suzi, Scott, Suzanne and I wore costumes for the entire event. I'm sure everyone remembers Vince. He was the "dead Pirate" with black and white face. :scared1:

[athenna]

Aye, how can you miss Vince!:rotfl:

[doombuggy]

Caught up with several of you last week - it was great! I think both Figment2 & I were still tired on Sunday when we ran into eachother & didn't know it....

:lmao:

Here are a couple of pictures from the dinner Thursday night:

Recognize this Pirates star? :)

Also:
I purchased the unframed cel thru the RSP (even though it has the regular release in June) b/c it was supposed to have an event backstamp on it. Mine does not and I am waiting to hear back from Disney regarding this goof up. Others that they looked at on Thursday did not have the backstamp, and the samples they had out for both the framed and unframed did not either. I gave something up on my RSP to get this cel, so I am not too happy - hopefully they can correct this error.
I am so sorry I did not spend the money to get the middle package & spend more time w/you guys (and get better gifts).
I must get to work - catch you later! Argggg!

[mgkmouse]

GreatPicsthanksforsharing!

[mgkmouse]

I agree!
I did dress up for dinner & movie!

Athenna Which lass/wench were you? I was the sort pirate in the green vest sitting with Vince and Suzi and Kathie etc etc etc up front. At the last dinner.

[athenna]

During the dinner I was sitting w/Doombuggy & 1000 happy haunts at table #2, I had on a long white gown w/maroon velvet over it, I had my Will Turner pocketbook over my shoulder.

[StacyPop]

I didnt see anyone either! I met Figment2 quickly and then never saw her again! Thanks for stopping to say hi though!
Me and DD had a ball!

[mgkmouse]

I think I recall that outfit. I don't know who DB and 100HH are . I think we were at table 5 up front in the middle.

[~Kathie]

I think I recall that outfit. I don't know who DB and 100HH are . I think we were at table 5 up front in the middle.

We were at table 4. Jesse (DB) came over to talk to us. You were at the back of the table and she was kneeling down so you most likely didn't see her.

Great pictures!!

[mgkmouse]

that and i spent most of the time at the desert table....

<<During the dinner I was sitting w/Doombuggy & 1000 happy haunts at table #2, I had on a long white gown w/maroon velvet over it, I had my Will Turner pocketbook over my shoulder.>>

I was the other Tavern Wench pirate in the same outfit that kept calling you my twin!

[athenna]

No way!!!! Cool!!! :thumbsup2
