I REALLY want to sign my boys up for PL. I had no idea it even existed and we go to Disney at least 2-3 times per year. How strict are they on the 3 year minimum age? We are going the week before DS' 3rd birthday.

We have an appointment scheduled for our trip in July. I had a question about the makeup ... is it safe for sensitive skin? I know my DS will want something on his face but his skin is sensitive. thanks

Wanted to say a big thank you to Berlioz again for all of the info. It was great to meet you and such a wonderful surprise that you were even able to do one of our boy's transformation.

I'm glad your boys had a great time! It was a great surprise that I had your oldest, that worked out wonderfully!

If you tell them your son is under 3, then they will not budge because of the makeup testing requirements. He can go through the experience without the face paint.

The makeup is listed in the first post with a link to the manufacturer's website. In the two years I've worked here, I only know of one person who had a reaction. We also keep the materials list at the location if you would like to read through the ingredients beforehand.

I keep hearing that the mermaid makeover package is for the summer only... Is that true? If so boo we wont be going until later on in the year!!

A limited number of supplies are available, once they are out the look will end. It was estimated to last about 6 weeks, and at this point I would say we are still on target for that.

We did the Pirate's League this past Wednesday, and my kids LOVED it! So much more fun and a better value than BBB (we brought our own costumes that I ordered online), and my daughter looked prettier as a pirate empress, too!

I do have one question... the pirate lady (Erin) who did my daughter's nails kept calling the black polish something that sounds like "squid ink"-- is that what she was saying?

I'm going to try to post some photos below... my son had Pirate Nick, and he was SO fun! It was a really fun experience for all of us.

He kept admiring his lips in the mirror-- the white makeup makes them look red.

Done!

Just wondering where people are buying their pirate outfits prior to going to Disney? Any suggestions are welcome. I am trying to find one for my 7yr old daughter, 5yr old son and 3yr old son. I wish Disney had a better selection at the Disney store.

Thanks!

I'm SOOO bummed. Just got off the phone with PL and they are completely booked the day I wanted to take my boys. I went ahead and took a reservation for 2 days later, but not sure if it will work with my schedule. I wanted to do a whole surprise for them in the morning with a package that had a certificate for PL and costumes. Not sure what to do now...

Hi! I'm not sure if we're allowed to post links to Amazon here, but this is where I got my kids' costumes. You can see them in the photos I took a few posts back.

Here is my son's: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HNFJBA

I was very impressed with the quality of his. I think I only paid $15 for it, but I would say it's even worth $30-- it comes with a hat with attached hair, but we didn't use that part with TPL, since he got a bandana. We'll probably use it for halloween though--it's super cute.

Here is my daughter's: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GWH9Y2

It is much more cheaply made than my son's, but still looked cute on her. (Very lightweight material.) I wouldn't pay more than $15-$16 for it (but I'm cheap!)

Amazon has a huge selection, so just do a search.

(If it's not okay for me to post this here, someone let me know and I'll remove it.)

Good luck.

What a great thread! I did Pirate's League back in August and had a great time. Here are the pictures we took!

I chose to do the Multi-eyed Jack look. Instead of buying a costume, I just dressed pirate-y. I put my hair up in a bun and was wearing my Minnie mouse headband. I love what the CM did with my bandana.

Before:

During:
The extra eyes they put on my cheeks are temporary tattoos. Everything else is painted on.

All done!

My DBF wore the eye patch and fake teeth.

If you're wondering, I'm 22. I had a great time at the Pirate's League and got a LOT of attention!

The only thing I didn't like was that the beard paint smudged VERY easily, but that could've been due to the August heat.

PS. I was wearing contacts, so my DBF suggested I do this picture, haha.

So sorry if someone's asked this before but I'm hoping to get the mermaid transformation for myself done here soon...Is it absolutely necessary to make a reservation or are walk-ups accepted?

Also, I'm not sure what the transformation includes exactly but is it a look that is meant to last a day or more than that?

Thanks for the input! You all are awesome!

You're not the first to ask... so I've just added your question to the FAQ on the first post (and copied it below you for).

The looks are only designed to last one day, you'll want to wash your face before sleeping. Additionally, the packages are listed on the first post with the items included (and pictures of the mermaid nail polish).

Is an appointment required?
Yes. The Pirates League can be booked 180 days in advance. Due to the popularity of the 4th movie, the League is booking up about 2-3 weeks in advance. If you are unable to make an appointment you can attempt to walk-in, but the majority of people are turned away.

Each morning the reservations are re-evaluated for the day and some additional slots may be open (sometimes just one or two, sometimes it's closer to eight or nine). These slots are filled on a first come first serve basis. If you walk-in right at 9 they will schedule you for later in the day, based on the openings. By 9:30-10:00 all of these slots are typically filled and no additional walk-ins are taken.

Does anyone have a photo of the mermaid shirts they have in the shop outside PL? I'll be there in 2 weeks and thinking I might sign myself up too, lol.

Also, I know they only do 2 pirates at a time, and all children have to be accompanied by an adult. Can I go at the same time as DS and be maybe in the chair next to him or do I have to watch him?

Ah, sorry for being a repeat asker. It didn't dawn on me to check the first post. Still learning I guess.


Anyhoo, thanks for answering back. Blah I'll probably have to skip it cause I bet I can't get a reservation at this point in time. Oh well, I'm still going to the World which is what counts!

We got our costumes (for me and my 6 year old son) via amazon.com.

I looked a ton of other places, over the course of about 3 months, and eventually found what I wanted on amazon for a good price. Took some time (there were price drops on amazon, eventually) because the prices were just way more than I considered reasonable.

For info on how groups with more than 2 people, check the first post.

You will go in at the same time and be sat shortly after one another. Chairs are sat based on availability, so you may end up next to each other, but there's a greater chance you will not.

Ah, sorry for being a repeat asker. It didn't dawn on me to check the first post. Still learning I guess.

No worries - I usually answer questions directly, but once I get it enough times I figure it's best to add it in the first post (it wasn't there when you asked). That's why I just added it last night.

Thanks for the Amazon suggestions for the outfits. I'm stoked! I got all three kids outfits for only $50!

I ordered these from Etsy. I didn't really want a costume. I got each of the girls one of these and a pink skort to go with it.

We've noticed that a lot of people are starting to visit the Bazaar shop first to purchase a t-shirt then check-in with us for the experience. They have a lot of options over there as well!

All five us us will join the league.
