Pirates and Pals was the number one highlight of my last trip!!!! First, we met Hook and Smee. They were very fun to meet together- they were very animated and smee danced with my sister and I to the fun pirate music in the background! The dessert option is a little bit limited, I'm afraid. There's pretzels, cotton candy, two flavors of cake (neither of which I cared for), I think some cookies. The highlight of the buffet was that they served POG juice and all the mickey ice cream bars/sandwiches you could eat!!! They also had this giant treasure chest full of chocolate coins.
After you eat your dessert, you meet up with your twin hosts- Patch and his "identical twin brother", also named Patch. You go onto your little boats, and there's a bunch of pirate songs and games to keep you entertained before you see the electrical water pageant and fireworks. Patch offers his commentary on the electrical water pageant and it's the funniest thing you'll ever hear. Then there's a triva game before you get back to the docks, where a special lost boy waits to meet you for photos and autographs
I highly reccommend the experience. It's a ton of fun. Even my dad, who usually hates things like this, said it was his favorite part of the vacation.
