AARRRGH!

On our most recent trip to Walt Disney World, all four grandchildren and their families were with us. I wanted to to something special for them to remember, so  Pappy and I treated them to The Pirate's League.  There are several packages from which to choose.  Kristina (age 14) and Izzy (age 7) both chose the Mermaid Package.  The cost for this package is $39.95, which to some may seem a little high.  But included in this package was their mermaid makeup, and they got to keep the kit.  Their hair was styled and held in place with a color-changing hair clip.  They also received a mermaid necklace, a sash, and the nail polish that was used to paint their nails.  And they got to participate in the Pirate's League Parade later that afternoon.

James (age 11) decided to take the First Mate Package (cost $34.95).  It included the face make-up, a reversible bandana, an earring and eye patch, a sword and sheath, a pirate necklace, and a temporary tattoo.

Jake (age 4) of course, wanted to be Jake from the Neverland Pirates.  His package was also $34.95 and included a Jake and the Neverland Pirate Bandana with faux hair, Jake facial makeup, a sword and sheath, a Pirate League Bag and a Pirate Coin.  Both the boys also got to participate in the Pirate's League Parade.  Jake even had the pirate face down pat!

And James got to lead the parade.  That night when we got back to our resort, I received a text from son-in-law Jimmy thanking me for the experience.  He said it's something James will never forget . . . and he was just a regular kid pirate!

If you're looking for a special memory that will last a lifetime for your kids, give the Pirate's League a look.  You'll need to call ahead of time to make an appointment, but it's worth the time and money.
