GF pirate cruise

[sweetheart2576]

Does Disney still do the Pirate Cruise at the Grand Floridian? Haven't seen any mention of it lately and the kids loved it when they did it.

Yep . DS did this in May and I have him booked for another in December.

Arrrgghh

A week or two ago, my daughter did the Pirate's Cruise again and had a great time. I'm going to post some new photos as soon as I find the time. She also did the Haunted Pirate's Cruise on Halloween night. I'll post photos of that, too. Click here for my main on-line photo album (which will be updated within the next week or so).

Hi Janet2K,

Well, your photo album is absolutely awesome!!

I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the pictures and now want to sign my daughter up for one of those fun looking Grand Floridian adventures.

Your descriptions of the pictures were also fun and helpful.

Thank you - you have had some magical experiences at Disney!

Csamom, you are very kind. I still haven't added my new photos to the GF children's activities' albums yet, but plan on trying to do so over the Thanksgiving week. However, I just want to tell you to definitely give one (if not all three) of those children's events a try. My daughter has done them for years now and always has the best time. In my humble opinion, the GF truly has a lock on wonderful children's activities at WDW (and you don’t have to stay at the GF in order to book one of those events for your child).

I have put a couple new photos into my on-line Pirate's Cruise album: click here for album.

My sons went on this a couple of weeks ago and they absolutely LOVED it. They had a blast and it was definitely worth it, BOOK it, you'll be happy you did!

I just posted a description of the Pirate's Cruise that my daughter dictated to me this evening in the following thread: click here (see page 4). For a little girl, she sure went into a lot of detail. I wish I were young enough to attend the event.

Just curious...did you go on the cruise? Just wondering how you got all the great pics.

Janet,

When my son went in May they had the bandana's with Mickey Ears (see below). During the latest trip, did they still have them?

These GF kids activities look great but were all booked up for the first week of Dec.

I hope there may be some cancellations-there and at the castle (ha) for b-fast.

Thanks for the info.

Kids went in October...

No Mickey ear pirate hats, just the bandanas.

Had a great time.

csamom,

There was someone waiting hoping for cancelations. I talked to one of the staff. She said there are always people waiting for cancellations - and there are never any cancellations. Hopefully, someone will cancel before you leave, but I wouldn't spend my morning at the marina hoping someone doesn't show up. Sounds like a rare event.

Summerrluvv, the photos have been taken over a series of years. The ones that I took were taken at the GF's marina. The past few cruises, however, I have sent my daughter with a disposable camera. Her pictures are the ones that show a little bit about what happens during the cruise. As my daughter ages, her photos should get better (on her last cruise, she still had a few photos with "fingers" over the lens).

Liv2CdWorld, as Crisi stated, the bandanas were the regular ones -- no Mickey ones (drats). My daughter attended the cruise during the last week of October.

Actually, the morning my son went there were 2 cancellations. I'm sure this wasn't the norm, but there were 2.
