I've been looking at the cost of hotels in Key West, and some are really pricey. What did everyone do last year to help from keeping their plunder heavy?

Weapons Rules 1 2

Ahoy All! Will be going to the festival for the first time with me lady. Are there rules about weapons once we get there? Can we really wander about Key West with swords, daggers, and firearms? Are there any no-go areas? How about other establishments? Can we go in to Margaritaville fully armed? I've seen references to black powder, also. Are there safety regs and an armourer to check you out? For blade combat, do you use blunts or sharps, and is there an overall coordinating body that handles rules so that no-one actually gets spitted? Sorry if this all sounds a bit paranoid, but I've been a re-enactment safety officer for too many years. I like to know what I'…

This year's festival is just wrapping up - what an amazing experience working and meeting pirates and wenches from all over the country. For anyone making pirate plans for 2004, put this event on your calendar, particularly the last weekend which includes the Thieves Market and Encampment, sea battles and more than 150 piratical types roaming the streets of Key West. Shopkeepers and bars love the pirates here and the event is first class. If you didn't get a chance to make it this year do plan on it for next - even if it's the only festival you attend. The weather is perfect and this is truly pirate paradise. Stay tuned to piratesinparadise.com as we begin work on next y…

Pirates In Paradise Or 10 days of Pillage and Plunder in Key West Part 1 By Pierre Rose2003 A Faire of the Rose earlier this year decided to attend the Pirates in Paradise Festival in Key West Florida.

The First view of Mallory Square was truly unbelievable,with the calm aqua –blue waters if the Gulf of Mexico and Christmas Tree Island in the distance were breathtaking…It was almost difficult to see where the sea and sky joined. Warm breeze…

So, me lady and I are getting ready for the raid on Key West. Since I've never been, let me just ask a couple of final questions. Is there any time or place that I'd need to pack regular clothes? Any places that restrict pirate kit or weapons? Is there a planned meeting place and time for all members of the Pub that are going? Also, asked this in another thread but got no answer. Is PiP as wild, crazy, and adult oriented as Fantasy Fest? Lookin' forward ta meetin' ya all. Hawkyns

For those of you wise enough to cast your lot with the Pirates in Paradise festival this year, be ready for the DVD release party of Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates in Paradise and Disney have announced that the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD Release party will be Tuesday December 2nd at Mallory Square and the DVD will be premiered at Schooner Wharf Bar. There is going to be an additional tall ship pirate battle that day that will culminate with a grand fireworks display over the Harbor. Then the party moves to Schooner Wharf for the DVD screening! Pretty exciting stuff. Keep tuning into www.piratesinparadise.com as we get more information from the Disney folks.

Ahoy! The Pirates of the Coast is seeking someone at the festival who's freelancing who can sign onto our crewe for the duration and add some extra guitar to our band. We can send chords and CD of stuff we do. Nothing wildly fancy. We have a room available at the Holiday Inn Beachside to share at no cost to you with our conga player (a him), big passenger van to get us around (which we are all splitting the cost of) and lots of fun things planned, including being part of the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD release party and a renewal of vows by two of our crewe aboard the WOLF.

I just decided to attend. This will be my first year and my first time in the keys. Can anybody give me some tips on choosing a place to stay. I'm looking for the reasonable end of the prices. I am milking this trip off hubby as a 20th anniversary gift. Also, looks like flying into Miami will save us over $100. apiece. Anybody else going to do this. How might it work out?
