Day 4 - February 10, 2010
Magic Kingdom
Chapter 3
We had just finished up in Toontown, but unfortunately missed the train that we were planning on catching. So we decided to walk on over towards Adventureland instead. Michael's presence was requested at a certain league where he was meeting up with Hunter to be transformed into pirates. On our leisurely walk over, we met up with a certain tigger who was so nice to pose for us on his way to his meet and greet location!
As we got to the Pirates League, Shawn checked in and we waited for Monica and family to arrive. A few minutes later they were there and the Dads took the boys in to get the low down on the pirate experience. Here are our sweet boys before they were taken in by Jack Sparrows crew!
Monica and I sat and talked for a bit and the girls did the same. A few minutes passed before the girls were all asking for something to snack on, so I walked down a ways towards Magic Carpets and got them some popcorn.
Avast ye mateys....inside the Pirates League, the boys were being treated like the scalliwags that they are! First they had to receive their pirate names....
Then they chose what pirate they wanted to be transformed into. Monica and I both pretty much knew that they would pick the Cursed Pirate, but we weren't sure and we were sitting outside waiting so we wouldn't know until they came out. Here are some pictures of the transformation....
(yep going for the cursed look)
(once she did one eye, Shawn said he looked like a puppy hence this picture)
(taking the pirate oath .with the swords they were given came a command that they were not to slash, poke, jab, cut, carve, slice, or prod their siblings, parents, strangers, animals or Disney property! After agreeing to this condition, they were brought back to Captain Jack's secret treasure room with the condition that they could not take any pictures or ever reveal what took place inside this "inner sanctum".)
(Shawn said that the pirate doing Hunters makeup and the pirate girl doing Michaels makeup were brother and sister and there was a lot of banter between the two of them complete in pirate character the whole time, of course)
They were given the very cool face painting, the bandana, a sword and sheeth, a tattoo, an earring, some removable (nasty) teeth, an eye patch, and a medallion.
Meanwhile, outside, Monica and I decided to take the girls over towards Thunder Mountain to grab fastpasses for the group for later on. On our way back we ran into Woody! Katie and Megan were very excited. Shy Emily stayed a safe distance away for some reason and didn't want to get in the picture.
As we got back to the Pirates League, they were finishing up and we were able to see our sweet boys who were now completely transformed and creepy looking cursed pirates!
With all of that costuming, they were quick to assume the characteristics of their alter-egos, so Shawn grabbed some more pictures outside.
(the teeth only got worn this once time for a pic they were too uncomfortable. Besides, he had his teeth painted on his face, so it didnt really make much sense! LOL)
Obviously, it probably goes without saying, we hopped on board Pirates of the Caribbean right after that! Shawn excused himself to go to the bathroom, so I just let Michael go on ahead with his fellow pirate and ride in Monicas boat, while I hung out and waited for Shawn. We werent too far behind them though, and since there was no wait, we exited and met back up with everyone again.
At this point, it was sometime after noon, and we both had lunch reservations around 1:00, so we decided to ride a couple more things together before heading our separate ways (to meet up later that night though). Monica had asked Hunter to list 3 or 4 rides that he really wanted to ride WITH Michael (since they were leaving this night to go home) and he chose POTC, Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mtn, and Space Mtn. POTC was completed, and we had FPs to use for the mountains later, which left.....Haunted Mansion! Perfect!
We headed back towards Liberty Square and waited 5 or 10 minutes before boarding our doom buggies where we all thoroughly enjoyed the happy haunts!
After that, Monica and family were off to grab a boat ride from the MK over to the WL for lunch at the Whispering Canyon, and we were on our way to lunch at Tonys!!
Coming up.....Bella Notte...and a special surprise!!!

I know - I was sad this was our last day together! 
An update! 
LOVE the piratey makeovers! I was pretty sure that is where you were headed! 
It's just so peaceful down there!
Nope, just PB&J! But looks like you understood what I was saying, so what did you have for lunch?
