Thanks so much for all of this info! I'll be doing the DCP at the Pirates League (FA 2015) so this is great to read through!

What's the best way to get the makeup off at the end of the day?

Make up remover. Baby wipes won't get off the black. We took a travel pack of makeup wipes, worked like a charm.

we just used a cloth with water, and it got everything off no problem

Does anyone known how small the mermaid costume starts? DD will be doing it in May, and she is a super tiny 3 year old - she barely fits in a 2T. Should I plan on bringing her own costume?

Great info on here!! I can't wait to do PL with my little ones. Hoping for some extended hours this year with MNSSHP!!!

Anyone know what size the mermaid tutu and shirt go up to. My oldest is 9 but wears a size 14/16.

My daughter is the exact same age and size and the highest they go is 12, the outfit is a little tight on her now (we went in Aug).

Has anyone done this recently? My daughter has watched one too many Pirate of the Caribbean movies and wants to be a princess pirate and looking for any pics of girls in pirate gear. =)

Extended hours are now available for MNSSHP!

We are planning a pirate day which will include a pirate adventure cruise. Since there start at 9:30, it will be impossible to do pirate league before hand...

We will be in the MK a couple of days before, however. Would it be possible for us to stop by and buy costumes a few days before our appointment so that the kids can wear them on the cruise and THEN go get the makeup done. (Which will be fine, since we are doing pirate and pals in the evening)

I would allow at least 60 minutes for just travel time. It's in MK, so it will depend on the timing of the buses.

It isn't close. Pirate's League is inside the Magic Kingdom park. Boma is inside the Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort. The bus from Magic Kingdom goes directly to AKL, with no other stops, so that's good, but it's about a 20 minute ride, plus time to walk to the bus stop and time spent waiting on a bus which could be 1 minute or 20 minutes, depending on when you walk up. I would allow 60 minutes, as smitch suggested.

Does anyone have a link to pics of pirate costumes for girls?

How long on average does PL take? We have a 4:20 on our party night.

Depends on the package, but I'd plan for an hour.

Make-up remover works the best. A very kind woman saw me trying to get the remnants of my daughter's Jake makeup off before our CRT dinner (it had run in the August heat) with water and handed me some make up remover towelettes that worked pretty well. I will pack those if we do Pirate's League again.

ok thanks. Like I said, we have a 4:20 PL make over and the only FPP I could get for 7DMT that day is 5:05-6:05. Think we will make it there by 6:05? if the whole thing takes 90 min, that still gives us 15 min to walk over there so I think it's fine but am a little nervous about it. My TA says we will have plenty of time but I hope she is right.

I think you'll be fine. There is also reportedly a 15 minute grace period at the end of each FP. I'd also recommend checking in early at PL, too, as there are some "festivities" that occur prior to the actual makeover.
