OFFICIAL The Pirates League Thread

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?

It is not the best quality, IMHO. Definitely more for kids than adults. They just do a quick coat, too, so I would get a real manicure and skip the PL polish.

I have to jump on your long running thread here, Brenna, congratulations on little Adelaide Jade. Welcome to the world, Adelaide.

Wishing many, many fun meet and greets for you all in the years ahead.

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

Thank you both!!! She was awake for the hour leading up to the meet, then fell asleep while we stood in line. LOL! I guess I'll have to get used to that.

Just echoing smitch - get your manicure and skip the nail polish.

Brenna!

CONGRATULATIONS!

What an great way to start my Monday morning. The first of many awesome character meets in Adelaide's future. Have you chosen her Halloween costume yet? Please tell me she's not going to be a pirate!

And now I'm going to dissolve in tears because a week from today my baby will be away at college and it was just yesterday he was that size.

Thanks Amanda. I'll apologize in advance for all the whining I do about it in the next couple weeks!

We just found about this experience last night and it looks interesting.

Thank you!!

I've been thinking about Halloween for some time now, we're continuing with Disney villains. I don't want to commit to anything just in case something doesn't work out - but hopefully it'll be cute! We knew last year would likely be our last *big* year for characters, so this year it'll be up to how well she does and we'll meet who we can.

I booked the Jake package for our trip in December but I'm having second thoughts on that... DS wants to switch it to a First Mate package and get the multi-eyed Jack look. Do I need to call or can I switch it when we get there?

When I booked the Jake package last year, The CM said we could change the day of if we wanted to.

Correct:

FAQ
I want to change the package I booked, how far in advance should I call?
You do not need to call at all, you haven't actually booked a package at all and will be asked during check-in which package that you want.

Our whole family did this last week and loved it.


One word of warning on the multi-eyed make-up, the CM said that you need to have your eyes closed for about 20mins while they do it. So if your son has any issues sitting still that long I would advise away from that look.

We didn't do that look, just posting what the CM told us.

Why did I even bother to subscribe.. lol, no notification. Thank you everyone

My DS was 5 at the time he did the jack sparrow look with the three eyes. It turned out amazing but he did have to stay still for a long time. I think overall it totaled to about 90 minutes! It was really awesome though!
Here are some pictures.
