This outfit was to small for my boy, I got him a 7/8 instead. Are they still selling this at the Pirates League?

my nephew has had the pirate league done several times over this past summer and it has been an awesome time each time. We are going down in late Dec and have an appt forearly afternoon New Years Eve for our 2 sons - I am so happy there is finally something for boys! I can't wait to have this done with them.

Thanks for the info in this thread!

I have been reading through the posts and enjoying everyone's pictures. Thanks for sharing. I am hoping that I can convince my Nephew 11 to do Pirates League with me when we go to WDW in May. I'm wondering how many adults and tweens participate in the pirate league?

Hello!
We have pl ressies for October 17 (next Sunday!!!) for 3:50 and 4:05, and 5:05 reservations at TTS. I thought we had allowed enough time, now I am starting to worry...do you think we'll be okay?

Yes they are! Check out the first post for the most current costumes.

Surprisingly more than you probably expect. A lot of BBB appts are young girls, TPL gets a lot more families.

Usually I would say you'd be okay, but since this is a MNSSHP evening, I would say you are cutting it very very close. Reports have already indicated waits have reached an hour (that's with a reservation). You can tell them at check in that you have an ADR, if they are unable to get you in they wouldn't charge you anything.

Do most kids wear the costume then get the makeup done or should they put the costume on after?

Quick question for someone who has gone recently. My son and I are both getting this done this month. Will my bandana be pink/black and his red/back? We're getting some pirate mickey tees made and I want our tees to match our bandanas! haha! THANKS!

Just wondering how well the makeup stays on? We are having this done at 10:30 am and have the Pirate and Pals Cruise that night so just wondering if it will stay on or if I need to try to move later in day? Thanks

When we were there in August, they let my DD11 pick which one she wanted. She picked the pink/black.

Put on the costume before checking in. There is not time to put on the costume between the makeup and the portrait.

You'll get to chose, so it has to do with what's in stock

Depends on the specific face. Some last better then others. If you know for sure that you want the makeup on for the cruise I would suggest moving it a little later in the day.

Thanks! I knew you'd have the answer!

Brenna!

I have a Brenna, too. She is 4. We have never met another Brenna. If you're still working there, we will have to stop in and say Hello! DS and DH have been thinking about doing the Pirates' League. Maybe I can get my Brenna to do it as well.

It's always great to meet other Brennas, does she have black hair? I was born with black hair (hence my name) but only had it for a couple months. Oops!

I actually do not work at the League anymore. I opened the location and was there for the first seven months, but left at the end of 2009. I have been back a couple times here and there, but not very often. When someone posts a question I do not know the answer to, I'll text my friends that are still there - they always assume it's for the DISBoards (they know me so well).

I do have to return for two weeks to refresh my skills, it looks like those two weeks will be Dec. 5-18th.

Funny story though - I did have one little girl check it at TPL and the mother said "Brenna," but she spelled her name Brynna. I felt bad for the girl. I LOVE my name, but a lot of people mispronounce it. I can't imagine how many people screw up Brynna.

She does not have black hair, but I thought she would! My husband and son have really thick, black hair. So when I found "raven haired maiden" in my baby naming book, I thought PERFECT! Well, she came out with just a little blond fuzz on head, lol. Now she is 4 and it's a light-medium brown. I am sure as she gets older it will get darker, but I doubt it will ever be raven, ha ha.

My Brenna is constantly called "Bre-ah-na" by strangers. Ugh!

We are doing this for the 3rd. time in November.

Just made a reservation for January 4th 10:30am! Very excited! Thinking about doing the Pirates and Pals cruise that night too! :

I just got back from our trip and bought one of the portraits that were taken at the Pirates League. There were a total of four of us,but I just chose the one of my ds. When I got home uploaded the number from the portrait I did get more poses of my ds, but none of the other three. Is there a way to retrieve these or did I need to buy one portrait of the each of us to have those as well?

You need to buy 1 picture to have access to the other pictures. If you had 4 sets taken, but only bought 1, then you won't have access to the others.

Actually I was able to get all poses from the session thanks to Berlioz help. I just contacted photopass, gave them a description of all of us, and sent a picture to help them identify all of us and within a day they sent me codes for all the other poses.

I have a Brenna too, who is totally into pirates. She has an "I love Jack" themed bedroom with a huge mural of a Jack-like figure on one wall. We will be there mid Nov for her 13th b-day and are trying to figure out if this is something we should do.
