The Pirates League is located in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom next to Pirates of the Caribbean.

We checked in at The Pirate’s League, which is in Adventureland near Pirates of the Caribbean, at 10:15am for our 10:30am appointments. We were shown 6 pirate looks to choose from. I chose the Empress and Jordan chose a more rough and tumbled pirate look. We were then whisked away inside what used to be the East India Trading Company’s storeroom. These savvy pirates, under the leadership of Captain Jack Sparrow, knew that instead of random pillaging and plundering it was easier to just take over the storeroom and set up there as their new Pirate League base of operations. First we must claim our new pirate identities. This is accomplished by turning the Captain’s wheel, which rolls 2 dice, which when used in conjunction with a cyper book and the month of your birth determines your pirate identity. (check out the slide show below to find out our pirate names).

Next we were escorted back into the main part of the building where the pirate transformations take place. We even got to see my friend Shari from CrazedMommy and her son as they completed their pirate transformations and headed out to explore the World Showcase at Epcot. After waiting just a few minutes, we were assigned to our Pirate Masters who would be in charge of our transformations. Jordan’s look included him having a black eye and his Pirate Master asked him if he wanted to get it the hard way or the easy way. He said the easy way so they called over a 2nd pirate master to hold Jordan still while the 1st one pretended to punch him in the eye and give him a black eye! Jordan was also told that since he was getting a black eye and a scar he needed to create a back story about the fight(s) that left him with these problems. He was also told that if anyone commented on his face he should say, “You should see the other guy.” The other guy in Jordan’s backstory was…a skeleton, very creative.

My Empress makover required a lot of choices be made. I had to choose nail color, eye shadow color, lipgloss color, which jeweled tattoo to wear, bandana color, eye patch color and bag color! Now, these are not major choices for a grown adult but…when you bring your child to The Pirate’s League I suggest you either discuss some of this ahead of time or you help them make these decisions. I ama girly, girl wannabe. The last time someone else did my nails and make up was 18 years ago for my wedding! It was fun to be pampered, even if I was becoming a pirate. Hmmmm maybe next time I can go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Any way… once our transformations were complete,we took the pirate oath and were sworn in as pirates! Next, were were taught sword etiquette and given our swords. The last stop was shhhhhhh…this is a secret…we went into Captain Jack’s secret sanctorium…shhhh don’t tell anyone about it but it was COOL! You have to see it for yourself!

We left the Pirate’s League with some booty and a treasure map too! The Pirate’s League is a fun experience and I think every pirate lover needs to do it at least once in their lifetime. Last time I walked through the parks in my tiara and princess sash and was treated royally by cast members and guests. Wandering the parks as a pirate is a little different. We did get to ride up front on several rides because the ride operators said they wanted to keep an eye on the pirates and make sure we didn’t leave with any extra booty. We were stopped by several guests wanting to know where we got our “Pirate Makeovers”, and we received several comments from guests my favorite being a little girl who pointed at Jordan and said, “That guy is a real pirate.”

The details that Disney Imagineers put into the building are amazing. As we walked through the rooms there were constant oohs and ahhs over the intricacies of the decorations.

The Disney Cast Members at The Pirate’s League are amazing! Everyone we came in contact with were truly convincing pirates. The Magical Moms were all wearing princess tiaras as we entered The Pirate’s League. We were warned that the pirates may try to plunder our jewels and that they did.

When you pick up your pirate portrait, you’ also receive a Secret Pirate Cypher and a unique pirate coin necklace that are your keys to more pirate adventures throughout Adventureland – you can find clues and discover treasure, and even meet Captain Jack Sparrow himself!

The Pirates League is now open in the Magic kingdom for guests ages 3 and up. To make your reservations call (407) WDW-CREW.
