Pirate Night??

[mctennismom]

Just wondering how far people go for pirate night dinner. Do they really dress in pirate attire? First Disney Cruise and have read a lot about this event.

Thanks,

We have been on 3 Disney cruises. Basically we dressed the same for all dinners. The pirate night was fun with the wait staff being dressed up. We saw very few diners that were dressed up in pirate attire. Have a great trip. Disney does it well.

we had a blast at the party. Some people are in full costume and others are in T-shirts and shorts. We are going again 11/23/06 and I'm going to make sure i'm in full costume

We've done Pirate night in tropical clothes (bought when it used to be a tropical deck party) and in pirate costumes. Had a great time both ways. Both times we were with a large online group. On our 4 night Wonder cruise it seemed like our group was the only ones that dressed up but we got lots and lots of compliments from staff and fellow cruisers.

Cruisers on our cruise went the full spectrum...from standard dining clothes...to T-shirts and/or tropical wear...to full blown pirate costumes. Still have the bandana that we were given to wear!!! It was a fun night...enjoy yourself....

We dressed in "tropical attire" as well that night. My girls loved the pirate bandanas they gave us at dinner. (still have them hanging in their rooms) :D

 

Now that you mention it, I didn't see anyone, outside of staff, dressed in pirate attire.

the dress suggestion is to wear pirate or tropical attire - lots of people doing tropical; many wearing the bandanas. The on-board store sells lots of pirate gear, and a few kids wore that.

We have done 3 pirate parties so far.

On the Wonder very few people dressed up. Even the wait staff didnt dress up.

On the Magic, the waiters were dressed as pirates, characters too. We had lots of people in full pirate attire. Some only in pirate headbands and t-shirts etc... But over all the Magic had 2/3 people dressed in something to do with pirates. On the Wonder maybe 50 people dressed up.

I do believe people on the 7 day cruises tend to go all out for things more than the 3 and 4 day cruises.

If you go to the dis boards and read the posts you'll see on the cruise meets that people are all planning their costumes for the party. So most of those who dress up have learned about it on the various cruise boards.

We ran into lots of people who asked us, How did you know to dress up? Nobody had told them and there is nothing in their paperwork to suggest it.

So I guess it just depends on how well educated the people on your crusie are about the party. I always dress up. I get all kinds of compliments from people and some think I am a CM, because of the way I am dressed.
