Anyone have any Pirates and Princess Reports?????
What rides were open?Trip Report
It was a cold and brisk night on Main Street. There was a wonderful carmel smell drifting from the Confectionary down Mainstreet. Mom's and Dad's and little Princesses and little Pirates were all in a festive mood. There was shopping and browsing by many and the ballon selling cast members where out in force.
The castle was standing in all its glory. With backlighting reflecting a Princess and Pirates mood. Oh... and then there were the rides. Families laughing out loud as they staggered of the teacup's ride looking like drunk navy soldiers on a Port of Call. There was the father looking somewhat dazed and confused as he disembarked from his 2nd straight ride on It's a Small World. Finally we have the woman who spent the rest of the night trying to figure out how she got wet while minding her own business near Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride.
Oh and then there were the Characters...Yes there were. All over the place. If one was lucky, they might have seen Ariel and Flounder doing their best John Travolta "Staying Alive" on the Dance floor near the Grotto.
One note of concern... there were numerous reports of Little Pirates running all over the Kingdom chasing Little Princesses around yelling "Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum, yer matey"!! The night however would belong to the Princesses who eventually teamed up in groups of eight and threw little wild Pirates in Cinderella's Wish Well.
I do need to report that apparently there were a few pieces of trash spotted near the Country Bear Jamboree and one small chip of paint noticed on a Buzz Lightyear Ride vehicle. Undoubtedly, we will all see this in a 2 page report on Mice Age's Disney By Decline series next week.
Well, enough for now... I am sure there will be other reports to follow but let it ring througout the Kingdom -- that a Magical time was had by all last night.:king:
Were their many ,or any for that matter, adults in costume for the event?In the area I was in... the park was completely dead, there were no lines. The lighting looked amazing. (mainstreet was beautiful and sparkly, and pirates was very ominous looking with smoke and fire effects.)
They handed out little velvet bags to everyone to collect your beads and chocolate coins in. El Pirata was open, and most of the treat locations were moved around in adventureland. This is because of el pirata being open and... the "hidden" jack sparrow meet and greet. The meet and greet probably had the longest line in the park, at 12:30 when the park closed it and they cut off the line was still easily a 2 hour wait.
It was really rainy, but they did not cancel the parade thank goodness. There were also scheduled performances of dream along with mickey, as well as jack sparrows pirate tutorial, and princess jasmine's royal guard training (down by jungle cruise.)
I think it is well worth the money, for the lack of lines if not anything else. People looked like they were all having a fabulous time. Lots of people were dressed up too and very layed back, great to see people in the spirit of fun.![]()
