Welcome back on the Disney Wonder… I’m your Cruise Director Crazy Mom….

We’ve already had a lot going on so far, let’s not stop now… get changed and after dinner let’s meet on Deck for the Pirate of the Caribbean Party…… Disney is BIG on the Pirate of the Caribbean, and it’s just second nature that once we leave the Island we have a pirate invasion on the ship……

This is a party you don’t want to miss…. If you want to be up and close with the characters I would suggest someone in your group gets on Deck right after the last dinner seating and holds a place for you, if you rather be above it all on the sports deck, make sure someone heads up there and grabs some chairs to hold a space for you….

The Pirate invasion is a fun thing.. a little tip, bring your own Pirate gear and dress up for dinner with the Pirates… Disney used to provide head bandannas and stuff, they no longer do, but people still dress up and bring their own; you can buy dress up pirate stuff in the gift shop, too… but why buy if you know ahead of time that you will have a Pirate Party……J

Dinner is like a party, and you will hear Pirate music and your servers are dressed like Pirates and your menu will be presented on a old looking like treasure map…. It’s so cool…. And a lot of fun. Once dinner is over let the Pirates invade the ship…

Disney puts on a HUGE party on deck, all the characters come out dressed like Pirates and captain hook is trying to take over the ship… the kids play games on deck till the actual show begins… once captain hook invades the ship.. no fear.. Mickey is near.. all dressed in his Pirate outfit he’s slide down or should I say, he flies across the ship… it’s sooo soo cool. Keep your cameras rolling…. They put on a HUGE dance and sing show and full entertainment….. after the show… a Disney exclusive… there will be fireworks at sea…. We love the fireworks… it’s soo cool to see in the middle of the ocean, no ships no nothing around us and then we have fireworks… THE BEST….

But wait, there is more… after the pirate party, you have to eat again.. because all those calories that you tried to work off while dancing along at the pirate party need to come back on….:-) There will be a pirate Buffet and that is ohh sooo yummy.. they even offer Turkey Legs…!!! So make sure that night at Dinner to leave some room for all the delicious food that will be at the Pirate Party… little hint, you can take food to your room ( mhh thinking about the chocolate covered Strawberries or the turkey leg) That’s the only time you can eat ALL YOU want Turkey legs….!!!! They have lots of fruit, Tacos, Crepes with strawberries and whip cream and a lot of other stuff… it’s the coolest…. So check out some of our pirates and let’s me again for another Disney Cruise Story soon… Ahoy Mates….. Your Cruise Director Crazy Mom a/k/a Melanie
