Thank you.

If you ride Splash Mountain after doing the Pirates League, will the facepaint get washed off? Just curious so that I can plan to ride it before PL if we do it.

As for the Mermaid package, do they do that with any age like the others? Or is it limted? Thanks!

They tell you not to ride SM after PL. I wouldn't risk it. My little guy fell down a few hrs. after PL (of course he cried) this made his makeup run too.

I agree with PP - do not ride SM after TPL.

Minimum age for the Mermaid is 3, no max!

To the person asking about what costume to wear for mermaid.

My DD liked this shirt from Children's Place and we are wearing it with a custom-made tutu. I found a local lady who makes tutus for $30 and we can choose the colors. My daughter loved the blue and thought the sequins were cute along with the seahorse.

(Sorry if this is a double-post. I can't remember if I wrote earlier or not.)

We still may make our own shirt, too. We'll wait to see how well the CP shirt matches once we get the tutu.

That one works perfectly!!!



3:30 is the last appointment. However, most Pirates with the later appointments are not finished in time for the Buccaneer Brigade (aka Pirate Parade). If the Brigade is a huge selling point, book your appointment a little earlier.

Thank you for this info. I just rescheduled my DD's appointment to earlier in the day. She loved the parade and Captain Jack tutorial.

Just booked a Jake and a mermaid package for my kiddos. A few questions...

1. Do the mermaids get to participate in the parade?
2. What do the mermaids do if they do not get a pirate name and say the oath?
3. Does anyone have a picture of the mermaid necklace?
4. What is the best makeup remover for the black makeup? (I don't wear makeup, so I have no idea what works!)
5. Does the parade end with a viewing of the pirate tutorial show, or should we try to see it before we do the parade?

TIA

Just so everyone knows, I saw yesterday on the Photopass Facebook page that The Pirate's League photo package will now be included in the Photopass+. I certainly wished that had been the case last week when we were there as I would have done the upgrade!! Without TPL being included though it just didn't make sense for us at the time.

Also, BTW... people aren't kidding when they talk about the makeup being hard to remove! My daughter went for the Cursed Pirate (of course!) and even though I had read here and elsewhere to bring makeup remover to help getting it off and my wife brought some special eye makeup remover and cotton pads but she still had black circles under her eyes for the next 2-3 days! Very goth looking.

She LOVED the Pirate League though - the cast members were GREAT and she proudly wore her medallion for the the next couple of days instead of her lanyard - even the first day back to school. She had a sword fight with Pirate Goofy and was also called out of the crowd to take part in the Pirate Tutorial with Capt. Jack so it was a really great day for her that she'll remember always.

Humor me. Is Jack there an actual CM, or some wax thing?
..
I'm only half joking - if it's a CM, holy cow, he looks good.

I think PL would be so fun! I did BBB before they put an age cap on it! Would have done Pirates, but for some reason I had read on here that they had stopped doing the mermaid look. Obviously.. I missed a memo somewhere!

Nope, Captain Jack was the real deal! He perfectly captured both the looks, speech and mannerisms of the character and interacted great with the kids. Pirate Mac was also really great with the kids and as a comic foil for Jack.

I've promised my son he gets to do PL next time we go. I can't show him these pictures though, otherwise he will pester me to go right now! lol

I've updated the first post with Photopass+ Info!

Wow. I have to see this! Thanks!

We're going in June, I'm treating my niece and nephew so I'll definitely post pics. And a TR when we get back.

 

[kendall1968]

We have a group of 11 doing this in just a few weeks. We are all between the ages of 35-45. We did it 2 years ago and had a BLAST!!!

Anyone know when the bookings start? I know I read somewhere you can book thru October right now, but we're looking at December.

It works the same as dining ADRs. If you are an onsite guest, you can book 180+10. If offsite, it is 180 days from the date you want the PL appt.

For anyone that is interested. I found a Jake costume online last night available for preorder on buycostumes.com. It will not be available until 7/15/2012, but you can preorder now and it is only around $30. It looks super cute and my little guy LOVES Jake and will be 3 on our next trip so we will be doing PL.

 

[Millermom0606]

we went to the PL, and had the PPP, but our pictures are not on the 'card' on the PP site. She took a TON of pictures of my three kiddos, but none are there..... can anyone help?

Btw, I REALLY wish I remembered the names of the gals that worked on my kiddos.... they were amazing with them, ESP the gal that turned my son into Jake (he's SO shy)

Do you have the hard copy of the package photo? See if there is a long # on it somewhere (side? back?). If you find a #, enter it into you Photopass account. This is how it used to work with meal photos, not sure if PL is the same.

ETA: Did your DD happen to get the mermaid makeover? I am desperate to see what the necklace looks like, and what special things the mermaids do if they are not given a pirate name or do the pirate oath.
