Thanks so much, do you guys have a picture of it in real life? Is it so thin he'd have to wear something under it?

It was very cold last year, so DS wore a long sleeve shirt under it. You will at least need a white t shirt because it only comes with a dickey and jacket, no shirt. I sewed some Velcro to close the jacket so it didn't look so sloppy and that worked very well. I bought his shoes at Walmart for about $10 or so. I'll post some pics in a few minutes. I shall return...

Hadn't tucked his pants into his socks yet, and hadn't drawn his mustache on yet in the first one, and Tink staged the last shot.

I am DESPERATE for a Pirates League Reservation for October 10th, 2013! This is our first ever Disney trip, so I'm VERY new to all of this and had no idea about this activity until today! This would be perfect for my 7yr old son to do for our MNSSHP that night!

That's great! Happy to help! I highly suggest using a park day to get to MK before 4 on your party day. Peter Pan stops meeting before 4pm, so if you want a pic with him, you'll need to get there early. We arrived a 2 PM in costume last year, and just got our bags and wristbands at an in park lactation after 4pm.

Anyone secure a ressie after 4pm on an MNSSHP night, yet? Meant to call today and FORGOT!!

I will be canceling a PL reservation for October 10th @1:55. We have changed our dates a bit due to free dining. I can only cancel by calling but we could try to coordinate a time to call if you want to try for it. We might want to wait a few days until the hold times are more manageable.

Anyone asked the make-up artist to skip the eye make-up on a boy? I am concerned about my son looking like a drag queen a week later when we have a wedding to attend! Should the make-up be long gone by then, if we should go ahead with it? Those of you who have done full pirate make-up with your son...would you allow it if you had a wedding a week later? Has anyone had great success with getting all the eye make-up off right away?

Thank you!

I just wanted to say that my son and I did this last October for MNSSHP. He got the cursed pirate look. When he showered that night, everything came off easily except the eyes. I tried a couple different soaps and makeup remover, with no luck. He had eyeliner in pics for the next day or two. Then a cast member somewhere suggested baby wipes. I bought a package in the AoA gift shop(cant remember if it was huggies or pampers) and it came right off! I'll definitely be taking some baby wipes next trip.

Also, I wanted to add that our gunner refused to take pictures of us together. She said it was set up only for a single person. Even after I stated that we had done this in the past, she refused. I was pretty bummed! I didnt really need pics of just myself as a pirate, and I even had suggested skipping single pictures of me in case it was a matter of not enough time for all the pictures.

Her video of meeting Mickey for the first time made me tear up. So adorable!

That was very cool to read.



I am weirdly excited about our appointment in October. DS and DH will be pirates, of course, and I'm still going for the mermaid look. How important are the fingernails for this? I was thinking of getting a manicure (which I never ever do) right before the trip (there's a Butter:London nail salon at seatac, and my plane leaves 2 hours after DS and DH's flight...perfect, right?) and probably won't want to mess it up.

Does anyone have thoughts on the mermaid nail polish for an adult?
