Unfortunately no. The blue is to match the eyes on the cheeks, and the color cannot be changed. Sorry!



Definitely! Technically the price you pay is for all the merchandise, not the paint, so lots of people skip the paint.

Okay. Thanks for the info!!!

Wish I had known that! We came in November, and my son was too afraid of the facepaint. The CM kept trying to convince him to get the facepaint, and my son wouldn't budge. The CM never said we could still do the rest, so we assumed it was facepaint or nothing and we left.

They have a great thread on here for the May 19th cruise. I think there are 30+ board members going to be there and even are planning a meet and greet on boarding day at Currents at 3 p.m. You should check out the link as it has lots of great info. We are super excited too. We leave this Thursday for our trip to Orlando before our cruise.

So sorry!! It's not something advertised outside, because we try to give every kid at least a scar. However, many get to our chairs and are just not havin' it, so no face becomes an option. Perhaps the Quartermaster thought he was afraid of being a pirate - not necessary the paint? With that said, if you request no paint when you check in, then they'll write it on the form!

Our reservation is at 3:10. I'm worried my boys won't make it to the pirade. I just called and checked, but right now they don't have any earlier openings.

 

[Berlioz70]

3:10 is tight for the parade, but it really varies each day. Some days, everyone makes it (even those with 3:30 reservations). Some days, the League is quite backed up at those with 2:30 reservations do not make it. It's impossible to know for sure.

When you check in, indicate that you are hoping to make the parade. This will not get you in quicker, but when the Pirate Master starts painting it'll help him or her to know to speed up.

MNSSHP Info....

So the million dollar question... when are the hours being extended for MNSSHP?

Unfortunately, the correct question is WILL the hours be extended?

At the moment, it has not been decided if they'll be extended at all.

Last year, with the huge waits, there were several angry Guests that could not start the party until well after 7:00pm. Knowing that MNSSHP costs a seperate admission, it's not fair to Guests to keep them from the party. Therefore, MNSSHP evenings are currently under evaluation.

Just know, the discussion has started!

I have been calling a couple of times a week to see if they have extended their hours yet and I was told no. I am hoping they do as that time frame that we currently have is at 2:30 and I think that is to early for MNSSHP.

Berlioz-
Thanks so much for the helpful advice! I booked both kids for Wednesday 10/19 in the morning. I couldn't do the afternoon time you recommended because we had a conflict, but I'm going to work hard to make sure DS makes it back for the parade.

Truly appreciate your help!

Party admission is the same as Park admission, so you are good to go!

Historically is hard, as last year was the first year they were extended (In 2009 the League was already open late, they didn't cut back on hours until 2010).

Last year, if I recall, the decision was not made until mid-August. Mostly because they watched the reservations for MNSSHP dates and discovered how incredibly booked they were. So they extended the hours only a couple weeks prior too.



The league does have shirt options. They change all the time which is why none are pictured in the first post.

One popular shirt right now has a bone look. The popular female option is a blue/green shirt with a mermaid (for the upcoming movie).

I did a quick google search and could not find either shirt in an image.



I recommend making a reservation at about 2:45, then participating in the 4:15 parade, then watching the 4:25 Pirate Tutorial.

Keep in mind, if you visit on a night with MNSSHP, then there will not be a parade.

Booked my daughter for Nov. 2nd .. she can't wait to be made up like a Pirate

 

[KELLY]

Got my girls booked but still hoping for something on MNSSHP night. Right now we are on a non mnsshp night.

 

[shawni]

Berlioz-Thanks so much for all of your help. Hopefully, we will see you on the 13th. We are leaving tomorrow and I guess I should make sure I have everything together.

I'm still crossing my fingers that they plan to extend hours. I got my MNSSHP tickets in the mail (which say good for 7-midnight) and included on the letter was information on how to call and set up an appt for PL. I got so excited because it was included with the paid party tickets. So, i called, and they said no extended hours yet. But, Surely that's a good sign, right? Since people can't do pl before (at least) 4pm with just the party tickets.

I have no doubt that they will extend the hours. They have for the past two(or maybe three) years. I just have no idea why they are waiting to do it??? It is frustrating calling every other day to be told not yet.

They were only extended last year. The year before, the League was open to 7pm everyday already (this was pre all the package changes and the parade - back when it was $50). It didn't exist before that.

I was told it'll be awhile before a decision is made. I believe they are waiting to see what the 4th movie does for business.

If Guest reaction is positive, it may come back for Halloween and then possibly permenant. We did not order tons of the merchandise because we're not sure how it'll go over yet.
