The Pirates League will transformed a mild mannered child into a member of the crew of the Black Pearl herself. They when the transformation is complete the brand new swashbuckler can find the secret stash of loot and begin to plunder.

What to expect
Here’s what Disney says about the experience –
“Captain Jack and his trusted mates are scouring the seven seas in search of treasure—and new recruits!”
So what will really happen?
- When you arrive at the lair you will be issued an official pirate name which will be written into the leather-bound captains log.
- Next, you go to the Muster Station where you will be transformed into a buccaneer worth of joining Captain Jack Sparrow and his mighty band.
- Then you go to the Secret room where your official picture is taken and you plunder some hidden treasure.
Then it’s off to the park to pillage and plunder.

Dad’s Bottom Line
This is a nice addition to Adventureland. The price has actually gone down over the years. (It started at $49.95 plus.) What kids doesn’t want to be a pirate?
