Skull pyrate Carter Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 So, Red and I were talking about holloween and dressing up. Then we talked about Knotts Holloween haunt, etc... Well, you cannot dress up there. So here's where the discussion led. March 18, 1967 was the openning day of "pirates of the Carribbean" ride at Disney, Anaheim, CA. how cool would it be if they were bombarded and boarded by us in garb? Of course we couldn't bring weapons or alcohol (where'd the fun go?) But I thought it might be an idea worth throwing out there. Especially since I know all the goth kids picked some day every year to fill the park with them all in black and such.
hurricane Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I don't know about Disneyland but you're not allowed on the grounds in costume at the Magic Kingdom, DisneyWorld, except for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween evenings. They don't want people in costume to be confused as working there. It's a liability thing as much as it's a loss of control, something the Magic folks like to keep a handle on. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Christine Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 March 18 be a Saturday in 2006, I'm sure I'll most likely be there. I tend to go almost every weekend or some time during the week. The thing is they don't allow people to come in costumes, except for Halloween. Perhaps I could drop them off an email and see what can be done. Aye, if the goths and the gays get a special day why can't us pirates? BTW, gay day was just this past Saturday. I think it's a great idea and would be a ton of fun! My uncle would especially love the idea of wearing garb to Disneyland, as would my cousin.
hurricane Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Not So Scary is the time though. They're very accommodating then. Here's me in the jail on the PotC ride at the Magic Kingdom here. - Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Christine Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 LMAO!!!!!!! That's great hurricane! And the key's run off with the dog-lol!
hurricane Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 We pressed the issue a lot there but they were nice. The staff let us go behind the chains and such for many of our photos. It was great fun. I would definitely recommend the event to anyone, even without kids. The park looks so different from the regular days, the fireworks show was amazing and the villians get their moment in the spotlight at the parade. We particularly loved the haunted mansion - the staff there was able to really gore themselves up a bit. One of the best events Disney has, particularly since you do get to go in costume. Diosa and I had to laugh as we entered. We gave coins to two little boys who then had their photos taken with us. Then they had us autograph their Disney autograph books. That was Diosa's first autographing section. I knew she'd dig that! -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Pirate Petee Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I'd totally be down, if they were to let us. I wonder who we would have to talk to.
Christine Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Aye hurricane, I did the Not So Scary Halloween thing last year and it's great fun! I had a total blast! That was a fun weekend, Escondido ren faire on Saturday and then Disneyland for Halloween on Sunday!
Skull pyrate Carter Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 when is this "not so scary" day? you can come in garb?
hurricane Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 It's now through the end of October on select dates. Here's a link to some information. http://allearsnet.com/tp/mk/mnssh.htm They allow you in costume and they even have trick or treating for kids and adults. Can't have sharp weapons or replica (or real) pistols. Otherwise, they're good with ya in gear. Oh, and you also get a complimentary photo of you and your companions... -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Christine Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Well, perhaps Iron Bess can look into March 18th for us. See if it be okay to come dressed in garb for this special Pirate anniversary.
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Well, perhaps Iron Bess can look into March 18th for us. See if it be okay to come dressed in garb for this special Pirate anniversary. Hey! I'd piece tie! But I have a date on the Queen Mary (Scottish Games ya know) and Kilting is A O K There for that! Dart tournament and everything! Huzzah! Happy anniversary POTC but first things first.... Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
hurricane Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Peace tying would do you no good. There's one thing Disney doesn't ever allow: weapons. You have to leave all of them behind, even for the Not So Scary Halloween unless they're plastic. No replicas. Nothing. They won't even let you on the property, even with tickets. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
