Ahoy there, I am

and I have a tale of adventure to tell.
Arriving at the Resort
Just last week my crew and I sailed to the Most Magical Place on Earth: Disney World. Upon docking my ship at the All Stars Movies Resort I put on my best clothes and headed to the Magic Kingdom. On the way I commandeered a strange land-ship for my fleet.
Getting Into the Park
Unfortunately for me the Sorcerer Supreme Mickey Mouse casted a spell to prevent pirates from bringing in pirate swords, so I left mine on me ship beforehand.
I put up me hair and took off me eye-patch as I entered the park to hide that I was a Pirate.
Buying a Sword and the Pirate Show
So I purchased a Pirate sword at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride to add to my Pirate appearance. Upon gaining a sword I went over to watch the Pirate Show where Capt'n Jack makes pirates out of some kids. Turns out that since I looked so great as a Pirate, Capt'n Jack wanted to recruit me for his crew and welcomed me onstage. Afterwards we all gave a loud AYE! to Capt'n Jack.
Thus Began My Quest For A Snack
After some good Pirate yelling I began to hunger so I set off to seek food at Gaston's Tavern. As I approached the counter to order my food they told me that whatever I wanted was paid for by Mickey. They said I made their day by my appearance; while it is a surprise that my fame has reached the ears of Mickey, to be sure, but it is a welcome one.
After receiving my food and drink I lounged on what I hear is Gaston's personal chair.
My New Hat and Thrown in the Stocks
I found me a Pirate hat to complement my red and black theme, after I procured it I was thrown in the stocks. I promptly escaped but not without first swearing vengeance on my enemies.
Keeping a Low Profile and Visiting Tinker Bell
So to not draw too much attention to myself I did what any sensible Pirate would do. I got on the Merry-Go-Round that is near the dead center of the park, pulled out my pirate sword, posed, and looked triumphant as I was seen by virtually everyone. (No picture unfortunately)
After the ride I went to visit Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow to s***k her since I'm a pirate. After a battle between my sword and her crayon we parted as friends but not before kissing her hand so she can remember her favorite Pirate.
Meeting Gaston
Let me sum up that conversation. We went on rants telling each other how great we are.
No Reservations Needed for a Pirate Captain and His Crew
My crew and I didn't have any reservations for the Be Our Guest restaurant but I walked up to the gatekeepers and requested one of their finest tables. They called in and informed their commander that a Pirate Captain wanted to dine here. And like that they escorted my crew and I into Be Our Guest. So if you don't know, to get into the Be Our Guest it takes making a reservation at least 6 months in advance to your trip.
Then we were seated in the West Wing section of the restaurant, the elite seating. (No Picture)
THE BEST PART OF THIS STORY
So I was making my way out of the park after dinner because for the hours of 8pm-11pm the park was rented out to some large cheerleader organization (I think). If you were part of the organization you would receive a lanyard to show you could stay in the after hours.
I did not have a lanyard and one employee told me to go ask the keepers of the lanyards to give me one since I was a Pirate. I pulled out my Pirate sword, put on a fierce face, and power walked towards a group of 5 employed. I swung my sword into the center of the group and declared "I'll be commandeering one of them lanyards, oh and one for me crew member as well!"
They gave me the lanyards.
I spent the next hours riding rides with no lines! Except that blasted Peter Pan ride.
Lastly, The Peter Pan Ride and Getting Kicked Out
So the Peter Pan ride is notorious for the lines consistently being an hour or longer no matter when you go. Yah, I simply walked up to one of the employees and asked if me being a Pirate could get me into the fastpass lane without having the reservation. They said "Aye! But just this once." My wait time became 2 minutes instead of 60. I love being a Pirate.
Immediately after I got off the ride I was stopped by 3 security guards who informed me that by dressing up as a Pirate I was in violation of their no costumes for adults rules. Apparently they have been trying to track me down all day but I somehow was always one step ahead of them. Must of been my fantastic keeping a low profile skills.
Anyways, while polite they said I must leave the park immediately. I knew this moment was coming all day but the hilarious part is that they kicked me out with only 15 minutes left until the park closes anyways!
I got a full 10 hour day of being a Pirate at the Magic Kingdom. Before I left I got one final picture.
So there be most of the highlights of my Pirate adventure at the Magic Kingdom. I hope you enjoyed my story.
I got a free meal, got to be in the kids only Pirate show, a free pirate bandana, got into Be Our Guest without a reservation, and commandeered two extra magic hours lanyards all because I'm a Pirate! Take what you can, give nothing back!
