lime and sandy kids said:hi Pam- Our whole family of five will be in costume. Parts purchased online or ebay or pieced together and made at home from cheap $1/yard material at wal mart. things like waist sash for DH and other parts were made from satiny material. Mine is a bit racy and purchased from ebay(off the shoulder peasant blouse in brite red,bare midriff, mini skirt, fishnets, and black pumps/sandals. Husbands idea!!!! We are going to the Pirate Dinner Adventure while in Orlando(dinner theme show) and our son is doing the Pirate cruise at Grd. Floridian so We keyed on the pirate theme for this trip. Plus we will all be pirates for halloween so we will get some mileage from this expense.Kids have fake swords and temp. pirate tattoos.they are really excited and counting the days!

Yes it starts at dinner and goes the entire evening, with the deck party and buffet afterwards.
It's hard to explain how many do and don't dress up. We have seen some cruises where practically everyone is dressed up, adults and kids alike. Others only have mostly the kids. If your lucky and have a lively ship, most will have some kind of pirate attire on. Some just wear the pirate bandana they give you at dinner. I have noticed that most people who are eating at Tritons, or Lumiere's feel funny dressing up during dinner. But they shouldn't because even the waite staff is dressed up as pirates.![]()
One thing I did notice, especially on our last cruise in May, was those who didnt dress up were commenting that next time they wanted to dress up too because everyone was having so much fun with it. The more people who dress up, the more fun it is, so I say GO FOR IT!!!
Disney is the one place adults can act like kids and nobody thinks anything about it. Have a magical cruise.

I bet it was his idea! I wonder what you guys will be doing afterwards?
Really, it's a cute idea. I was looking along the lines of something smaller..like just some patches, hats, etc. I may get a fake bird and strap it to my shoulder! I don't want to do anything too scary..my 2 yo will get scared. Thanks for all the tips!!
