Just read the whole thread. Great information and this looks like a TON of fun. DH, DD8, and DD5 are very excited to become pirates. DD5 is pretty girly so I'm hoping the redesigned Empress or the new mermaid feel at least a little princess-ish for her sake. She had a very hard time deciding between this and BBB.

Not to try to sway your daughter because if she wants to be a princess then go for the BBB but our empress look has a lot of glimmer and shine, nail polish, face gems, and more exaggerated make up, we have had many princesses want to become empresses when their brothers are done up

Oh, she wants to be a pirate...just a girly pirate. She had a pink pirate birthday party and demanded a pink pirate dress to go with her PL visit. I don't think she could handle the BBB since she HATES having her hair touched so PL sounds like a much better match for our family. Someone had mentioned that the Empress was going to be changing and I was just hoping that it was still going to really feel girly.

Great! It may be changing in the future, but there is no final date set for those changes, so I would not worry as of right now.

I know this has probably been asked several times, but for 2012 dates, do you have to pay when you book, or do they wait and charge you when you come in for your appointment? Thanks so much in advance!!

 

[NLD]

I booked last week and they said I'd pay at time of service.

They also said to get there 15 minutes early, have dd's hair brushed through with no tangles, bring our own comb or brush, and no makeup or nail polish on her.

 

[SallyNeko21]

Awesome! Thanks for a speedy reply! I will be calling today to book for my 2 boys!! So excited!!!

Just popping in to say that we took our two youngest kids to Pirates League on 11/22, and the whole experience was one of the best during our stay at disney. I think that for the cost, what you get back in terms of the makeover, the bandana, sash, sword, tattoo, gold necklace, and more, cannot be beat! Our kids had a wonderful time, my DD4 got the empress, and my DS8 got the multi-eye Jack and they were thrilled! I wish I could figure out how to post pics because we have some great pics of the kids! I highly recommend this!

Trying to work out our itinerary and had a quick question for the Pirate Masters. The day we'd look at doing the Pirate's League is the same day we'd be staying late for MSEP and 10:00pm Wishes so it would be important to get our DD6 back to the resort for a nap. If we did the Pirate's League in the morning do you think the makeup would last into the afternoon or should we book it for later in the day after we return to the park. Just trying to let her get the most out of it. I think she'll love the league - no princesses for her!

I don't think it would. I know with our boys their makeup had worn off by mid day and they didn't take a nap. I would try to get it done first thing after nap.

OK, that's good to know. I can juggle things around and try and book the League for right when we get back and then make our way over to the last Pirate Tutorial of the day. Thanks!

Just booked the League for 3:00pm April 24th! Afterwards we can head over to the Pirate Tutorial. We're going to keep this a surprise for her right up to the last minute. She'll love it!

We did the same thing. Both my boys loved it. then they met Angelica right afterwards and took some pictures with her.

 

[HalloweenNut]

I changed up our itinerary a bit and changed the Pirate's League to 10:55am of the same day as that will give her longer to be in character. We'll then hit the early afternoon tutorial before going back the the resort for a rest. I can't wait. She's really going to love it. Every time we watch the planning DVD and she sees the bit about the League she asks "can I do that?!" That and the Jedi Training - she wants to take on Darth Vader. Did I mention she's really NOT into princesses!

We loved PL!! The boys decided to save the majority of their spending money just for this!

DS9 did the multiple eyes, he sat awesome (20mins with eyes closed!!) but we did have a little reaction to the tattoo eyes on his cheek (he didn't care!!) they enjoyed the experience, and we got the pictures and such.

When you leave go see Goofy, we were the only ones there, and the boys had a elaborate sword fight we caught on video! It was great. They remember that over everything. Also they CM had given us a few eye patches for mommy and daddy and the baby, but there were 2 kids standing by Goofy that couldn't get a time for PL so the boys said lets spread the magic and gave them the eye patches and tattoos they had been given! It was a very magical day and we would go back again!

I know there were some new looks mentioned a few pages back and was wondering if they have been added. I think it was the return of the mermaid package, a Jake & the Neverland Pirates package and a change to the Empress. We have appointments for several kids in 2 weeks and just wanted to know if there were any new additions.

Also, my daughter was wanting to get the skeleton look, about how long does this take to complete (she's 4, so I don't want her to get too antsy!)
Thanks!
