Haha - so many pirate loving Brennas!

My dates have changed, I'll be at the League Nov. 21st - Dec. 1st.

 

[Tinker_Tam]

Yea!!! You will now be there on the 1st when DH brings DS in for his makeover!! If it weren't for me having to take DD to BBB I would be there! He has a morning appointment so not sure if you are there in the mornings!

We have an appt on Monday before MNSSHP. DS wants the skeleton pirate face paint. Do I need to pack cold cream or something to help get it off or will soap in the shower do the trick?

TIA!

 

[Berlioz70]

Pack shaving creme, that's the best for removing the black. The white will come off with regular soap.

Really? I'm not sure I would want that anywhere near my eyes though

We just got back on Saturday. Pirates League was great! Parade was great as well but a little long for the little ones. From appointment time to parade and pirate training it took 2 hours total. My son had a great time.

As for the make up removal, my son chose the cursed pirate look which had black all around the eyes. We used Neutrogena make up remover sheets and it came off no problem. But it took almost the whole pack to take all the make up off. It was worth it. Lots of fun.

Thanks! I use Neutrogena liquid eye makeup remover for me so I am hoping that will work too. There's NO WAY I am using shaving cream by his eyes...

I see alot of the kids are wearing a sash across their chest. Is this included in the basic package as well ($29.99)?

We didn't get a sash across his chest. The package for $29.99 comes with a set of fake teeth, bandanna, plastic sword, a treasure pouch with "treasure" (basically toy jewels), earring and pirate certificate. We brought his own costume. The clip on pirate earring hurt my son's ear, so they clipped it to the bandanna.

If you bring your own costume, there's a changing room there, so you can change into the costume before the makeup goes on. And if the make up is put on thick, it will rub off on everything including clothes but it comes right now with a wash.

Hi All,

I didn't see this anywhere in the thread - I apologize if it's already been discussed and I missed it.

Can you pay for the Pirate's League by swiping it onto your resort room key, like just about everything else in the park? Or do you need pay right there with cash or credit card?

Thanks!

Yes, it's listed as the sheath on the first post. You may get one that ties around the waist or one that ties across the chest. It depends on inventory on the day you visit.

I'm not 100% positive because I do not work the Purser's desk, but I'm fairly certain you can!

Having worked close to the Pursers before, I'm almost positive I saw them charge to rooms.

Have some questions on this. The CM on the phone told me the pirate parade was at 2. First post here says 4. Which is correct?

Our appointment is at 12:10PM. Will we have time to lunch the Plaza at 11:10AM then make the 12:10 appt?

Or assuming the CM is right that the parade is at 2PM, will we have time to do the 12:10 appt, eat at Liberty at 12:45 then make the parade.

I'm not too good with all the timings. Maybe we just do a counter service for lunch.

Parade is now around 4:15. Check when you get there to verify. Or swing by early in day to check and then plan accordingly.

Hi, I was just wondering if the $29.95 price is still correct? We have an appointment 12/2 and I want to plan accordingly. And we are allowed to pay with a Disney gift card, right? Thanks!

Just wanted to follow up:

1. Yes, we were able to charge back to the room.

2. This was great! My niece and nephew loved it (both 5 yrs old).

3. The staff was great! The kids have two very different personalities, and the CM's read each one of them perfectly and set the tone for the rest of the experience.

4. Special thanks to the CM who checked us in for our appointments (I have forgotten his name). As he was just about finished checking us in, he made a joke of telling the kids to put their hands over their ears, and instructed them to say, "La la la la la la la la....." He demonstrated the appropriate technique and once the kids were following along, he asked if there were plans to purchase any additional costume items for the makeover. Kudos to him for realizing that was not a question that needed to be asked in front of the children


This was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it to everyone, and for only $30, it was some of the most well-spent money on our entire trip.

Any idea how much those "costume items" cost? My son has some money on a Disney gift card, but I don't even want to entertain the idea if the stuff is more than what he has. Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't know any exact prices. Based upon what I saw, I'd estimate the the simple things like hats, pirate muskets, etc might run $10-30. Some of the more elaborate costumes could easily have gotten into the $40-60 and up range.

Someone else might come along who could offer more specific pricing.

Hope that helps!

Best way to get a cool pirate costume cheap is to go online right now and order one from halloween. I just ordered 3 (3 children doing priates league in Dec.) and with shipping they cost a total of $20.00. We bought 2 boy costumes and a very cute girl costume.

Way cheaper than buying them there.

The current prices for TPL garb (with pictures) are listed in the first post.
