ISLANDS OF THE CARIBBEAN ADVENTURE CRUISE

Disney’s Caribbean Resort is happy to announce that there will be a Children’s Cruise Starting Tuesday February 7th, 2006. It will be leaving the Barefoot Bay Boat Yard every Tuesday at 9:30 AM, Check - in starts at 9:00 AM . The ship leaves at 9:30 AM and Returns at 11:30 AM.

To sign up you must call Barefoot Bay Boat Yard Marina at 407-934-2850. It is a 2-Hour Cruise. The cost will be $30.00 and the Pirates will be served a lunch. Ages of the young Pirates must be 4-10, and must be potty trained. Lunch will be served: Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, Juice drink, Gummy Bears, Rice Krispie Treats or Goldfish.

Tennis Shoes/Sneakers and socks are recommended. The young Pirates will be given a Pirate Bandana.


This cruise is not in the WDW Dine or Play systems at this time.

The story line goes as follows:

The ship “Never Won a Battle” flying a Red Pirate flag will be leaving Old Port Royale with twelve (12) Brave little Pirates on board to visit the Islands of the Caribbean to find, plunder, and seek out the Treasure that talk has was left behind by Pirates such as Calico Jack, Ann Bonny, Mary Read, and sometimes even Captain Jack Sparrow. Ann Bonny and Mary Read are the two Pirates who made up the saying “Dead Men Tell No Tales”.

We will travel from island to island to find what ever bounty we can. We will encounter numerous problems as we travel these treacherous waters. We will run across Pirates, some dead and some still alive. As we travel these Islands we are always getting closer to the “Treasure” that people say is still to be found. The further we travel the closer we get to that “Treasure Chest”. When we find it we will divvy it up between the young adventurers on board. We will return to Old Port Royale with the Treasure that has been searched for so many years.

(Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa) Pirate Cruise

Any child who has ever dreamed of being part of a pirate adventure will enjoy this recent venture by the Grand Floridian Recreation team. Children ages 4-10 will be outfitted with a pirate bandanna and board their pirate ship (pontoon boat) at the Grand Floridian that is equipped with telescopes and a map to aid them in their quest to find the hidden treasure.

They will sail to exotic ports-of-call masquerading as other resort marinas, and find and follow clues that take them throughout the Seven Seas Lagoon. Lunch is served to give these little adventurers the sustenance they need to complete their mission. At the last port-of-call, the adventurers split up to hunt for the treasure. When the children return to the boat, they discover that the treasure has been found! A treasure chest full of goodies like jeweled rings, pirate "gold", Mardi Gras beads, noisemakers and rubber snakes awaits them.

This awesome adventure is being offered Mondays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon, it will be offered on Wednesdays as well (available to book now). You should be there no later than 9:15 a.m. You can book this 90 days in advance by calling 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463) to do so.

The cost is $30.01 per child, a credit card is required at the time of booking, and parents must sign a waver upon arrival. Cancellation policy is 24 hours in advance and no show/ not canceled 24 hours in advance, is full charge.


**Young pirates must show up at the marina by 9:15 a.m!

These sound like so much fun I wish adults had their own pirate cruise to go on!

There is also one that leaves from the Yacht Club called the Albatross Cruise - similar to the pirate cruise although the kids actually go into the Epcot lake which I think is cool.

Also, there is a new one starting up at POR, but it's not a pirate cruise. Something to do with the Jester at POFQ? Not sure all the details, but heard it starts March 2.
