Pirate Cruise

[mericletwins]

We'll be heading back to Disney this August and my ds will be 4 1/2 at the time.
He got wind that there is a pirate cruise and has been asking me so nicely if he can go.
I dont mind sending him, but for those of you who have had your kids go, is 4 1/2 too young and is it an enjoyable time?
He has no problems when it comes to being w/o me or my husband for a few hours. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!!

Mine went last Easter at 6, 6 and 5. they all enjoyed it and we had a couple free hours.

Has anyone heard of the one from Caribbean Beach. It is supposed to be loosely based on Pirates of the Caribbean with Capt Jack Sparrow. I have tried to get my boys on a cruise for the last 4 years and was planning on getting up EARLY on 180 days out to get a ressie. But, now my boys are 8 and 10 and I'm afraid that they are too old. If so, is there any other activities that I can sign them up for to let them go by themselves for a couple of hours? (Quiet time would be nice for DH and me.)

The Albatross cruise leaves from the YC/BC Marina. The other is the Grand Floridian Dock or marina and then the Caribbean Beach marina. They all leave from and return to the same place. They are all 2 hours in length. You have to be there 15 minutes early. You will receive a pager too just in case! I also saw they just added a 4th cruise from POR on the Sassagoula(sp?) River. The days and times vary. If you call the dining reservations # they will give you the availability for each cruise.

well as we have 3 adults and another kid who will want to be at the parks while DS1 is doing the pirate plundering thing I guess Grand Fl would be the best choice... then we could have tea and meet up in the Magic Kingdom with Grandma afterwards

thanks oodles

There is also a Sassagula (sp?) River Cruise from Port Orleans. That one isn't a pirate cruise, but they still look for treasure. It is more of a "Jester" cruise. It sounded fun, but we decided on the pirate one. My boys can't wait!
