Stopped by the League today and grabbed a photo of the mermaid necklace:

Awesomesauce! Thanks!

Pirates told me you can also purchase the necklace and hair clip from delsol.com.

One more thing. We did a photopass share and as long as we purchased 1 photo we were able to add all the photopass photos onto our account. Just had to go to the photopass place on mainstreet. They shipped our photos for us back to the hotel too.

Just wanted to understand this since I am doing a PP share, too. So if I purchase one photo (ie the cheapest), I can get the rest of the PP photos added to one of my cards.

But if I don't purchase a photo, then I get no official photos from PL (just the ones I take myself).

Then I pick up my photo at the place on main street.

Also curious, what type of photos do the PP photographers take?

Correct - there is only 1 photo to purchase, it'll be $15. You can purchase more for $10... but the first photo is always $15.

Then I pick up my photo at the place on main street.

Nope, you get the photo at the League. They print it for you to look at before deciding if you want to purchase it.

Also curious, what type of photos do the PP photographers take?

2-3 posed photos in the Secret Room. NOTE: cameras are NOT allowed in this room, so you either have to purchase the PP one, or you get no photos in this location (as you can NOT take your own).

We just got back from Disneyworld yesterday. We went to the Pirate's League on June 6th and it was SO wonderful! I highly recommend it, very worth the money. Here are some pictures:

Captain Jack started signing autographs and the lady doing our makeovers told me I should get them out because he never signs autographs. He signed both books and Tristan got his picture taken (Tyler was getting his makeover)

THESE ARE AMAZING!!!! the boys are ADORABLE!!!! that is AWESOME Capt. Jack came in!!!! that the first i heard about that!!!

 

[DisneyGuess]

Those are awesome pictures! That's the face Landon wants when we go!

I must buy one of those necklaces!

Ok, opinions wanted...

My little pirate wants to eat in the castle. So, I made an ADR for CRT for just the 2 of us on our 2nd MK day. I snagged an 8:30am ADR & then we have TPL at 11am.
But I was wondering if I should try for a later ADR & an earlier TPL appt. & take him to the castle all made up as a pirate for the princesses to fawn over? What do you think?
I could grab the 9am TPL appt. & a 10am CRT appt. Would that be enough time?
Would you switch them around or just keep it as is?

I had a moment of weakness and decided to book PL after all. I wasnt going to since its just so hot that no one will want a bandana on for long and wont make up rub off? I have heard mixed about the make up sweating off. Has anyone had trouble with it not lasting? We go in Aug so lots of heat, sweat and pool.
Should I bring some sort of pirate costume? Or Shirts? Any suggestions for boys?

Costumes or shirts would be fun, but are not necessary.

My older son's makeup lasted a long time, my younger one's did not. Sadly, we were there on a day that it POURED all day long, and DS4 just could not seem to stay dry... so that's not a fair test, IMO.

 

[jennifur25]

We had no problem with our makeup coming off, but it was raining during our makeovers so we left the park shortly after getting them and then came back later that night. I brought some makeup remover wipes and had a hard time getting the makeup off. They were wearing "guy-liner" for a few days

lol @ guy-liner... yeah, we had that. Both boys did the cursed pirate (skeleton look), and those black rings around the eyes did. not. come. off.

 

[DisneyGuess]

On average, how long do the appts usually take?
If I switched to appts @ 9am, would a 10am ADR be cutting it too close?

That would be cutting it very close. I would expect to kill an hour there without a problem.

Thanks! Trying to decide *if* I switch to TPL before we eat at CRT, what a good time for that ADR to be.

My dd did this in Oct of 2010. It was so much fun for her and it was so detailed. In all it took about an hour to do, she got the pretty makeup and still has her bandana and patch. We also purchased a 5x7 and the other pictures were posted to our photopass. She was 10 when we went last time and I thought she would think she was too old for it, but she loved it. We were also walk-ins and did not have reservations. They had no problem with it at the time. I don't know if it is still the same though because it has been so long.

 

[DisneyGuess]

Last question for me, I swear, lol!

I've decided to do the Mermaid package for myself instead of the Empress one. I'm one of those women who always has makeup on. Is it ok if I wear foundation at least? & do they do the eyeliner &/or mascara or should I plan to do those myself & they just do the eyeshadows?

 

[Berlioz70]

You can certainly wear foundation; eyeliner is applied in the process, but no mascara.
