Ahoy, me Hearties! Do you have a Pirate in the family? Planning on a trip to Disney? Avast! Here are 11 things we suggest you check out to enjoy a swashbuckling time on your pirate themed vacation at Disney!

1 – “X” Marks the Spot!

Because every good buccaneer needs to great treasure hunt, we suggest you tell your Pirate about your trip to Disney with a treasure map. Much like a scavenger hunt, set up little Pirate doubloons along the hunt throughout your home, your town, or whatever works for you. Have them follow the pirate map to the final and greatest piece of treasure… your vacation to the place where Pirates go to have a blimey good time – Disney World!

2 – Prepare for Voyage

Before you begin your great voyage to Disney, prepare your Pirate with some excellent movie choices. Depending on age, we suggest watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Peter Pan, and/or some episodes of Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Each of these Disney movies is relived at different attractions within the park. Prepare your Pirate for some of the sights he or she may encounter at Disney.

3 – Pirate Room at Caribbean Beach Resort

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort offers a selection of Pirate themed rooms. These pirate rooms have ship style bed frames, mapped/compass floors, skull décor, and other furniture and lighting that make you feel like you have been swept away at sea. Your Pirate will surely revel in sleeping and waking surrounded by these shipshape features.

4 – Me Pirate Adventure

As if staying in a Pirate themed room wouldn’t be enough, you could also order the “Me Pirate Adventure” package from DisneyFloralAndGifts.com. As you approach your resort room door, you will be greeted by a “Beware” sign before you enter. If you dare to enter, you will be amazed at the vast assortment of pirate themed items including a glowing red-eyed skull, pirate blanket, pirate duffle bag, and riddles left by Captain Jack Sparrow to lead you to a treasure chest with more booty! This is a pricy package, so if you aren’t able to spend the extra money, you can always add pirate items of your own while the family is off checking out the resort. There are also other Pirate packages from DisneyFloralandGifts.com we recommend you check out for different price ranges.

5 – Join the League!

Princesses have Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique – well, pirates have The Pirates League! Located in Magic Kingdom, your lass or lad (over the age of 3) can join the league with Captain Jack Sparrow. Dressed up as a pirate with face paint, clothes, sword, eye patch, bandana, and more – your child will be transformed into one of the scurvy crew! Packages range from $40 – $100. Cast Members also help advise on pirate talk and treasure hunting. This excitement will leave your little one singing “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me!”

Now that your Pirate has joined the league, they will surely want to hang out with other pirates! Be sure to ride Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom (located very close to The Pirates League). You will also want to ride Peter Pan’s Flight at Magic Kingdom where you will see Captain Hook and his sidekick Mr. Smee in different scenes from the movie. Peter Pan is also available for a meet and greet close to his ride (check with a Cast Member for meet and greet times). If you are around for the Magic Kingdom Festival of Fantasy Parade, you will see Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Smee, Tinkerbell, and even Tick-Tock Croc!

7 – Dine Like a Pirate

Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen! Head on over, just around the corner from the Captain Jack Sparrow show, for a pirate bite of food at Tortuga Tavern. Landlubbers will delight in this pirate-themed quick service location, that serves up mostly barbeque options.
