Hi everyone. I just booked the cruise last week because I absolutely have to attend the Pin Event. When I heard that Lee Arenberg was to be a guest I had to sign up. He was at the Pirates on the Seven Seas Lagoon event at WDW in May and he was absolutely terrific. He even attended the midnight showing of POTC-AWE with us.
I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but buying a Pin Package for just one member of your party does not allow everyone else in your party access to the Pin Events. They will allow as many people in your party to purchase the package that want to participate but cruise guests who don't buy the package can't participate. Each person must purchase their own package to participate. Event participants will have first dibs on the merchandise. Access to any event related seminars/private parties, etc. will be for paying participants only, not additional family members. If you think the other people in your party will want to attend the Pin events I strongly suggest you purchase the package for them or you will be very upset and disappointed when your children/family members are refused access to the events. They don't force everyone in each party to purchase the package because they realize that there may be only one person in the group who wants to participate. It is the same with the land based events, your family can share your room, but if they don't buy the package they can't attend the event.
