Disney’s Pirate Adventure Cruises Offer Little Buccaneers a Swashbuckling Good Time by Kate Melody
Ahoy Matey! If you are looking for a new vacation adventure for your kids, or a treat to mark a special occasion, you may want to consider one of Disney’s Pirate Adventure Cruises. Cruises are available for children ages 4 to 12 years old, and depart from four different locations. Each cruise is manned by skilled Disney Cast Members, and is a 2 hour kids only experience!
Young pirates set sail aboard their trusty vessel wearing pirate bandanas and life vests, but not until they have given their pirate oath! While sailing, kids enjoy pirate stories, visit ports of call, and follow clues to locate the hidden treasure chest. A small snack is included, and at the end of their cruise, if they are lucky enough to find the hidden treasure they are rewarded with a small goody bag of pirate “loot”.
We sent our three boys on “Disney’s Pirate Adventure” which departed from Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. All three had a good time, especially the younger two who were 6 and 8 at the time. Our oldest, who was turning 11 thought perhaps he was a bit too old for the experience. This may or may not be true, however, and could simply be due to the fact that his younger brothers figured out the “clues” faster that he did! We stayed to watch their pirate orientation and departure, but then we enjoyed a few hours of time without the kids. After their cruise the kids couldn’t wait to fill us in on all the stories!
Cruises depart daily at 9:30 and are currently priced at $37. Discounts can sometimes be available, and we were able to receive 10% off for being a Disney Vacation Club Member. You can choose from:
Disney’s Pirate Adventure – Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
Islands of the Caribbean Pirate Cruise – Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
Albatross Treasure Cruise – Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts
Bayou Pirate Adventure – Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
If you are interested in one of the cruises, I highly recommend me hearty, that you make a reservation. Call 1-407-WDW-Play to avoid any last minute disappointment, or you might have to walk the plank!

Entering into the World of Fantasy by Jenn Romano
How many times have you seen this sign? If you are a casual park visitor, then you probably have passed by this sign many times. You can find it as you walk into the Magic Kingdom, past the Mickey floral, and under the train station. I took the picture above as we entered Disneyland in California for the first time. Of course, a similar sign can be found in Disneyland’s Florida counterpart. This sign is your welcome into the Magic Kingdom, the place where dreams can come true. Sure, pixie dust and magic can’t make you fly in real life, but maybe it can brighten your day for just a little while. This plaque is more than just a sign; it is an instruction manual to enjoying Disney Parks.
As you enter the Magic Kingdom, you need to leave behind all that bothers you, and then you can enter into a world of fantasy where life doesn’t have to be so difficult, even if only just for a few days, even just a few hours. You can explore the world of the future as well as the past with a visit to the Magic Kingdom’s many lands and attractions. Of course, you can delve into your imagination when you visit the land of fantasy. How you experience a Disney Park is a conscious choice that you make when you step foot onto the grounds.
Many people are constantly critical of the choices that Disney makes for rides and additions to the parks. I am not going to say that I agree with all of the choices that Disney management makes, but I am not going to dwell on each thing that I dislike about the minutia of the park. I try to follow the instructions on this sign; I want to enjoy what is present in the parks and get lost in the escapism that the parks can provide. If you just let yourself go and focus on all that is positive in the parks, perhaps you can truly do what this sign suggests. You need to enter the land of fantasy and step into a carefully constructed version of reality.
When you walk into a Magic Kingdom park, take a look at this sign and try to put yourself into the right mindset for enjoying the parks. Try to silence your phone, disconnect from the real world, and enjoy all that the Disney Parks offer. They are as much fun as you make them; if you truly commit to the show that is being put on, you can really give yourself a mental vacation. Sure, you can complain about the heat or the lines or the one light bulb that is burnt out, but wouldn’t it be more fun to be a part of the magic and just sit back and be a part of the show? Give these tips a try, and I guarantee that your Disney experience will be worthwhile! Until next time, have a magical day, and keep moving forward!

Disney Plans Third ‘Cars’ Movie and Second ‘Incredibles’ Film
Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger disclosed Tuesday that Pixar is working on a new Cars movie and a new Incredibles film. He also said Frozen is close to surpassing Toy Story 3 as the biggest animated film of all time, and that the next Star Wars movie will pick up 30 years after the events in 1983’s Return of the Jedi, a timeframe that conceivably would allow Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher to play aging versions of their iconic characters, though Iger only hinted at such possibilities.
