Pirate Night t-shirt design

[RealMickeysGirl]

One of our fellow cruisers (gritsgirl) made these tshirts for us to wear pirate night. The photo below is the back of the shirt. The front had a small oval photo of a pirate character (pirate Mickey/ pirate Goofy/ etc) on the pocket and our names in a yellow banner (Pirate Sandy was on mine) above the pocket.

The guys wore bandanas and the girls had pirate hats with Mickey ears. We all had eye patches to.

Good costumes for not a lot of money (just a lot of work by gritsgirl)

Wow thank you for sharing that picture. Those are nice. Did you wear them to dinner? I was thinking pirate tshirts would be fun, but wasn't sure about dinner dress code. Did she do the iron on transfers?

I love Jack Sparrow!!!

Yes, we wore them to dinner Pirate Night - lucky for us we didn't have Lumiere's for dinner that night - or may be they relax the dress code there on Pirate Night - since we weren't there for Pirate Night, I don't really know.
Most of us wore black pants to go with our black shirts.

She printed the iron on transfers on her computer some how - I think you buy special iron on transfer paper for this - and ironed them on the shirts. She did a GREAT job!! I love my pirate shirt.

My sister bought the same shirt at Spensers and wore it on pirate night. She got lots of compliments on it and it was on sale for like $6.99 or something.

Hi everyone! I've been reding these threads for almost a month now, and this is my first post!!! I have to say all the tips and comments have been great, and I can't wait for our first DC this August. We are traveling with approximately 40 other people (with their children ofcourse) from our neighborhood.

Sorry, my question is: "If I buy black t-shirts for everyone, how and where do I get the Disney Pirate character iron ons?" Any suggestions would be great. I plan on ordering some pirate stuff from oriental trading too.

Thanks!

I think it was from some graphics package she has on her computer. She reads these boards - maybe she will post which graphics package it is. I wish I could answer right away but I don't know. Sorry.

Glad people liked the t-shirts.

I just did the designs in PowerPoint and the clipart came from disneyclipart dot com. The font came from disneyexperience dot com. The pirate Mickey and pirate Tigger were really trick or treaters in the halloween clipart section and I just covered up the trick or treat pumpkins with skulls (googled skull and clipart).

It was fun for a one-time thing but I don't think I would do them again. The design on my husband's shirt came off as soon as I washed it He doesn't know that yet. We also each had eye patches and a big gold earring that we bought at World of Disney in DTD.

Just a note: the pirate charater picture ops are BEFORE dinner (we do late seating) so it was fun to have some "decorations" for the picture even though we had not gotten our bandanas yet.

I had an inflatable sword ($2 party city) that became a fun toy---Dale was bopping Chip with it and we ended up in the middle of two chipmunks pirates chasing around in the atrium.....one with an inflatable sword! I ended up giving the sword to our server at dinner so he could play with it at the crew bar.

I will e-mail my PowerPoint slides to anybody who wants it if you send me a PM---just remember you will need to download the Pirate font for it to work. Now if I can just remember to see if I have PMs.

Some fellow cruisers will cringe BUT we DID wear these pirate t-shirts to Lumiere's. We checked with our servers the night before and told them about the shirts and asked if the fashion police would get upset....and Paula's (from Jamaica) response was, "We are the fashion police and we like it when people dress up with the theme for dinner." They put yellow (or some colors) tablecloths on the tables that night so it kind of dresses down the restaurant (but looks weird). Plus the servers are pirates that night also. They liked our shirts.

I can't believe I didn't remember that we were at Lumiere's for Pirate Night.

I just remember the people and the fun - guess I didn't pay attention to which restaurant I was in.
