OFFICIAL The Pirates League Thread

[pilferk]

I remember reading a thread posted the other day about having appts at 4:50 on a party night for this year. It was a thread about eating prior to the party. I will se if I can track it down and come back with the link...

I hope so.

I know (because I heard it) there was some grumbling about the lack of later appointments on party night, last year.

It was also discussed around here (maybe in this thread, or an earlier incarnation of it).

The CM told me yesterday that there is a new scary mermaid face coming out at Halloween. How fun!

Really!?! Hmmm...I secretly bought DD a dress for the mermaid package and it is tucked away in my closet. Hanging with it is a set of fangs because I wasn't sure if she would want to play it up as a nice mermaid or a PoTC mermaid. I hope they release the pics of this new one in time for me to decide if I should get a different dress. Hmmm...

Me and my sister are goin to pirates league when we go in september. We are getting the empress package done, what can I wear when I go makeup wise, like foundation or eyeliner or mascara? Also they said bring your comb and brush, do they do the hair with the empress package or is it ok that we dont bring that stuff??

You just wear your regular face makeup like foundation. They don't do anything like that, it's more like face paint than anything. You can wear your regular eye make up too. They put on eye liner and eye shadow. They often put the eye liner well outside the eye and and not even close to it, like a face painter would do. We didn't bring any comb or brush. We kept our hair as is. They throw the hankie on your head anyway.

LOL - wrong thread!

 

[poppypetal]

Not sure if this is anywhere in the 70+ pages. But are there any pictures of the girl costumes you can purchase at PL? and their prices?

I'm trying to find something cute for my girls to wear, scoured Etsy and buycostumes.com but not sure I"M finding anything I'm liking.

Also trying to find some accesories for DH & I to wear as grown up pirates to accompany our girls? Any ideas

Probably would have been a good place to start Thanks
Not really digging it, especially for the price. Hmm, where to shop where to shop....

 

[smitch425]

Berlioz70, do you have any inside info on the new scary mermaid look coming for Halloween that is mentioned above?

 

[Berlioz70]

I do not... sorry! I do not know if the poster was talking about a DRC (phone) CM or one that works at the actual league.

Has anyone ever had a problem with the face paint used at Pirates League. I'm in a difficult situation and don't know if I should cancel our appointment on 10/26.

DS4 has had his face painted dozens of times and never had so much as a pimple. This past Saturday he had his face painted at a local amusement park and by Monday his face was covered in a measles like rash. It is horrific. The rash was only on his face directly on the area that was painted. Dr. confirmed it was either an allergic reaction or a bacterial infection stemming from tainted paint. She was leaning towards bacterial infection because the rash did not begin until Monday.

I would hope Disney has higher standards and either cleans the brushes or changes the paint between children, but does anyone know for sure? DS was really looking forward to this, but I would hate for him to go through this again. He is really itchy and looks horrible.

Thoughts?

Wait till the rash is gone, buy a little bit of your own to test at home. And try.. if he has another reaction he could just be sensitive to whatever was in the paint they used. And the paint they used may not be the same as Disney. Dont cancel yet, see if you can do your own test first.
I'd go with Bacterial as I know my niece just went through something similar and looked like she had measles as well. Covered from head to foot.

Stop by PL on a day before your appt and ask them to do a patch test. That way you can test if he has a reaction beforehand and see if they have any alternatives or cancel.

Brilliant. I knew someone would have an answer. I called PL and found out the paint they use is called Ben Nye. I'm going to order some and do a patch test prior to our trip. Plus, they do sterilize with alcohol between children.

Should anyone else be in a similar situation, there is also an option to have the League done without make-up. They still get dressed up and take the oath, just no make-up.

Poor kid was given the ok for pre school yesterday and he came home in tears. The other children told him he had the chicken puffs

 

[poppypetal]

Glad u were able to get an answer from them, and your able to get some test makeup to try out. Forgot you could do it without makeup if need be, that way he can still do the experience

Hope he's feeling better

Ben Nye is very good quality, pricey too. I hope all goes well for your DS.
