New pirate makeover experience!

[Berlioz70]

Yep - you can reserve this while doing everything else!

Nope - it's not that popular (yet). On the evenings of MNSSHP we're pretty booked later in the afternoons. But I do not believe we are completely full on any one single day.

Brenna,
I want to book on a MNSSHP Oct. 29th...should I do that first? Around 5'ish. Again, thanks for your insight.

If the League is busy, then you'll be asked to change in the restrooms (around the corner) before starting. Otherwise, you will be able to change in one of our powder rooms.

So it depends on when you're appointment is. If it's in the next month then you'll probably be able to change in the league, but if it's in September or later (especially on a MNSSHP) then I'd change before arriving.

We'll be there August 4th at 9.00 am so probably won't be so busy right? I am surprising my DD10 and she would probably wonder if I have her dress up at the hotel. LOL

I just booked Sat, Oct 10th for 1:15pm because I was trying to hit the 2:15pm Captain Jack show. You think we will make it?

Hi there! If it's really important to you to get the best time, I'd book it among the first. I had read and heard it wasn't booking too much so put it at the end on my ADR date and didn't get the exact time I wanted. I wanted around 4:15-4:30 and got a 3:20pm. Yes, it's also on a MNSSHP and we wanted to get to the MK later so we could relax/nap as late as possible. It's not a major deal and I'm still very excited, however there haven't been any opening 2pm or later since I booked.

I honestly think with more and more people seeing pictures and hearing about it, it will get more popular as time goes. Have fun!!

Probably not, you'll be walked over early in order to make sure you're checked in by 9. We start walking guests over from the Adventureland bridge at 8:45 for 9am appointments.

It depends on the specific look. The black eye and Smokey eye are pretty quick, but the cursed look and multi eyes take a bit longer. It may be a little tight if we are backed up. But there are two more shows (3:20 and 4:25) that you will definitely make!

Yes. Anything on a MNSSHP is very tight (some are already full) after that 4pm check in time for the party tickets.

Hi Brenna not sure if you saw my question a couple of pages back... I thought I'd post it again just in case you missed it

We're going next year with our three boys and I know they will love this. My DS3 will only just have turned two so I realise he can't be made up but because he'll be there with us when the older boys are going through the experience will he be allowed to go into the 'special room' with the older boys?? Does the whole family get to go through it??

If we were to have him in costume already then he probably wouldn't even realise that he was missing out on anything if he got to go through the 'special room' too.

Thanks for any assistance you can give

I'm not Brenna but I asked about other family coming in as well...she stated family members were also allowed in the secret room. Hopefully that hasn't changed!

Excellent! Thanks so much

Hopefully it wont matter what age they are.

Yay! Just called and got a 5:30pm appointment for our MNSSHP night, Oct. 1st. The timing works out perfect for us. My six year old is gonna be in heaven!

Just got back from Disney yesterday and my ds (6) "became a pirate" along with my dh..LOL It was really cool and to make things even more "magical" it was FREE. Yes, for both of them. We were in the store looking around after the ride and one of the "cast members" came up to my dh and my two dss and asked them if they wanted to become pirates and said it was free. My youngest for some reason was afraid to have it done (even though he loves pirates). However my ds and dh had it done and it was great. My ds looked so good. They did a great job.

It wasn't busy at all in there and I think they were trying to drum up some business. Definitely a must next time for ds.

Pictures if anybody wants to see them.

WOW! Great story! Post the pics please...

 

[jenseib]

Yes! We want pics!

Thank you! It was the Empress package for my daughter. Maybe I should do 1245pm? I wanted to leave MK before the 3pm parade.

Does anyone know if the multi-eyed Jack comes with a bandanna that has goofy ears and earrings on it. I saw that on a little boy in a picture but not sure if that comes with it or if they bought it separate.

This is the one my ds wasnts.

I would love to see pictures!

Yes, we want to see pictures. Free is always a good thing.

Hi there

Just wanted to confirm something. BF and I are booked for the Captain's Package mid August. I have heard around the boards that costumes are not allowed for adults. We are both 33 (well I will be by the time my appointment comes) Since this is just a hat and shirt, is it ok?

 

[DonnaBelle06]

I am so excited - as a surprise for my 9 yr old son - I have him booked the first day we are at Disney (Aug 16) and got THE EXACT TIME his sister is booked for BBB in the Castle! I AM SO excited about this - love the pics!

He loves anything Pirates....now for Mommy to keep it a surprise!

Hi Brenna not sure if you saw my question a couple of pages back... I thought I'd post it again just in case you missed it Does the whole family get to go through it??

Sorry - I thought someone else had answered yet. Yes, technically the family can go in, but if the group gets to big (above 4) we may ask that just one adult accompany the pirate. You can request that an adult and the other son can go! The room is not very big, so it gets crowded pretty quickly.

Thank you! It was the Empress package for my daughter. Maybe I should do 1245pm? I wanted to leave MK before the 3pm parade.

The Empress is very quick as well... but if by some chance we are backed up it may be better to book a little earlier.

Does anyone know if the multi-eyed Jack comes with a bandanna that has goofy ears and earrings on it.

The Goofy hat was purchased separately, it is sold in the Pirates Bizarre (next to TPL).

I have heard around the boards that costumes are not allowed for adults. We are both 33 (well I will be by the time my appointment comes) Since this is just a hat and shirt, is it ok?

Yes - Adults can purchase the shirt and hat no problem!!
