We did the Pirates and Pals cruise with our 5yo son last summer and had a blast. It was well worth the money in our opinion. We had snacks and a photo opp with Captain Hook and Smee and then boarded our boat. We went out and watched the Electric Light Parade. We then went to the MAgic Kingdom to see the fireworks. There were pirate sing alongs and trivia the whole way to and from the contemporary. When we returned there was Peter Pan waiting on the deck. We are planning to do it next summer as well.
