Disney 2017- Pirates & Pals Fireworks

We headed to the Contemporary for our Pirates & Pals Fireworks Voyage. This was such a fun “extra” and I anticipate we’ll do it at least one more time when Tucker gets a little older and can remember it, too. 

We were welcomed by two silly pirates for a pirate party in a private banquet room at the Contemporary for lots of Mickey & pirate themed snacks, songs and games. There was also a freezer stocked with an unlimited supply of Mickey ice cream bars and popsicles. Captain Hook and Smee made their grand entrance and then party guests were invited to take pictures with them. There were around 50 of us in the group, and about 20 kids, so everyone got lots of interaction with them, and Hook played a lot with Tucker.

Our host pirates lined everyone up and with all the kids in front leading the way and we made a parade down the hall and through the courtyard and all the way down to the boat dock where we bid farewell to Hook & Smee and set sail for the middle of the lake where we’d watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks over the water.

On the boat, our host had us all introduce ourselves and then played some trivia games. All the kids got treasure from the treasure chest and when the fireworks started, the music and talking was piped in over the boat’s loud speaker. It was fantastic. When the fireworks were over we headed back to the boat dock, where we were greeted by Peter Pan! Because the weather was so chilly, we were escorted to a section of the hotel lobby for pictures with him. It was such a fun night and definitely a “worth-it” Disney extra to us!
