P&PP Tips???

[gottalluvmickey]

Does anyone have their itinerary for the Pirate and Princess Party? We will be at Disney for 9 days so I'm not worried about hitting all the rides...I'd rather enjoy all the 'extra's' that night I'm really hoping for the inside scoop... do you start at the pirate tutorial or is it crowded at the 7:45 showing , then where do you go? , is Belle really in her Yellow dress at storytime in her garden? , do you attend the early or late parade? What 'extra' shows are not to be missed? I have many more questions but am hoping for any hints and tips to make this evening the best possible. Did I mention that my DD will be 8 on the day we go??? I just want to make it the best experience possible? Please help

If meeting Jack Sparrow is important to you, line up for that first. This line can get crazy long. The line is in Adventureland, near where the sell the dole whips. When we showed up it was before the official start time of the party, and they didn't have the sign out saying that was the spot to meet Cap'n Jack. I happened to know beforehand that that was where he was, so we walked in and already the line was an hour long!

Also, the fireworks show is amazing! Make sure to see it!

We are going to the Park at 4:00 and doing the Pirate Tutorial around 4:30 then doing dinner at the Plaza at 5:00. I've heard the lines can be long at the P&PP for that so we will extend the P&PP for us and do it before dinner.

Here's what I found about the January P&PP:

That's great to know Cap'n Jack is there earlier for autographs. You say that you 'walked inside', is he in a building by the Dole Whips? We won't be there too early because my daughter has an appt. at BBB at 4:30! We're going to the party as soon as she's done getting beautified

DisneyDad in PA, According to the schedule that you posted, the pirate tutorial does not start until 7:45...are there earlier 'shows' then what's printed? Also, does anyone happen to know if the ''Dream along with Mickey'' is the same show that you can see any night? Or do they do something different for the P&PP? Love the information so far...hopefully we keep getting more information so we can plan the 'perfect' cool1:
