As you know from some of our posts earlier today, September 19th is officially Talk Like a Pirate Day and we can’t think of a better way to unleash your inner swashbuckler than Pirate Night aboard one of Disney Cruise Line’s incredible sailings. During these exclusive nights at sea, families are encouraged to don your best pirate attire and hit the decks for an evening soiree you won’t soon forget.
So chart a course for adventure by booking your Disney Cruise and brush on these tips to ready yourself for this swashbuckling day at sea!
Become inspired
The days and weeks leading up to your sailing is actually the perfect time to brush up on your Disney pirate knowledge via Family Movie Night. Be sure to check out flicks like “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Peter Pan.” Whether you opt to dress up like Captain Jack Sparrow or Captain Hook your sure to find some inspiration from these films to unleash your inner buccaneers.
Learn Some Tricks of the Trade From Veteran Pirates
Chances are you know someone who has already experienced a Pirate Night on the Disney Cruise. Ask them to regale you with tales of their seafaring adventures to get a sense of what activities your family will enjoy the most. Quiz them on everything from what grub they loved to tricks to get the most out of this exciting evening at sea! YouTube is also a great spot to check out blogs of other families enjoying the Pirate festivities.
Get a Pirate Makeover
At the Pirates League aboard your DIsney Cruise Line ship, you can get your very own Pirate Makeover! Choose from beards, bandanas, swords, scars, earrings and eye patches to create that special Pirate Night Look. There’s even an Empress package where pirate princesses can get a dress, shimmering makeup, face gems, nail polish, earrings, eye patches and more!
Map Out Your Plan of Attack
With so many Pirate Night activities to see, do and explore, the best way to stay abreast is to open up your Navigator app and plot out in advance how you’d like to tackle this magical evening. Some events you’ll definitely want to be sure to include are:
- Mickey’s Pirates IN the Caribbean – a family-friendly interactive show featuring famous Disney characters.
- Hunt Fer Jack – a thrilling live-action pirate showdown.
- Buccaneer Blast – a spectacular display of piratical pyrotechnics.
- Photo Ops – Don’t miss your chance to take photos with Mickey and their gang in their finest pirate attire.
Don’t Forget the Sacred Pirate Oath
