A Pirate Makeover at The Pirates League Disney World Tips and Review

Join the Pirates League and Become a Pirate at Disney World

WHERE IS THE Walt Disney World PIRATES LEAGUE
The Pirates League is located right next to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Adventureland at The Magic Kingdom. As you enter Magic Kingdom go straight down Main Street USA towards the Cinderella Castle, once you enter the central plaza there are 4 entrances into each land. You’ll want to take the first entrance on the left to enter Adventureland, and follow the road through the land till you reach the Pirates of the Caribbean ride on the left. The Pirates League did feel as though it was tucked away when we first visited, however, the check-in desk is located outside of the door next to the ride entrance and Pirate Boutique which helped us figure out where to start our makeover experience.
HOW TO Make Pirate League Reservations
I highly recommend making reservations before getting to Disney World. Reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance and makeover time slots fill up fast. You can schedule your pirate or mermaid makeover by calling Disney World at (407)WDW-STYLE or through the reservation system on the Disney Website.
Both times we have visited The Pirates League they were booked up completely, and I was very thankful to have had made the reservations in advance. Once you have your reservations, simply arrive at your scheduled time and head to the check-in counter.

Tips for The Pirates League at Magic Kingdom
Book Your Reservations Early – As I said earlier reservations fill up fast, so try to book your makeover as close to the 180 days out as possible to get the day and time you want. I would suggest making your reservations for early in the day so that your little pirates and mermaids can enjoy their makeover for as long as possible.
Allow enough time in your planning – The makeover takes between 30 minutes to an hour depending on which package you choose. Make sure you don’t book dining reservations or fastpass+ plans to close to your Pirate Appointment, you want to be able to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about getting to another area of the park.
Arrive Early – On busy days the check-in line can grow, so I suggest arriving around 20 minutes before your reservation time
Pack Makeup Remover – Pack some makeup remover wipes in your suitcase, the face paint can be hard to fully remove at the end of a long park day however makeup remover wipes helped us turn our pirates back into boys before bed.
Buy a Pirate Costume or Themed Shirt Before You Go – If you want to go with the budget friendly pirate makeover packages, pick up a cheap costume online or a Pirate themed shirt at the Disney Store before you visit.

A PIRATES LEAGUE REVIEW – Our Experience
Once we arrived in Adventureland, we checked in outside and chose the pirate package we wanted. During our first visit, it was a cold January day so we went with the deluxe package which included the pirate costumes. However, when we did The Pirates League again during the summer months, it was just too hot to wear the costumes through the park on an August day in Orlando. If you’re visiting during the hotter months I would say save your money and go for a smaller package that is just as adorable!
The first year, I was also planning a princess and pirate-themed birthday for the twins so the costumes got a lot of love even after we left Disney World.
For this experience, they had us set up in a changing room before meeting our Pirate Master, so the boys could change into the cool new uniforms.
Next, the kids received their official Disney pirate names and signed the large pirate book.





The Pirates Special Treatment
This was so much fun and like Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, the fun doesn’t end after the makeover! On all the Disney buses they played a special announcement saying there was a pirate on board and all the cast members called them Pirates throughout the day.

The Pirates League is another one of those incredible Disney experiences that are unique and cool, which make memories that last a lifetime!
Your kids surely must have had a lot of fun! Everything was very realistic, and even the make-up seemed real. They must have definitely felt like pirates for a day! Nice idea for a dress up party. Thank you!
