Pirate's Dinner Adventure

Today was sooo cold in Orlando, so we spent the day relaxing in our condo! Then just before dinner, we headed to the mall...because Jon forgot his coat! Fortunately, we found one we liked before going back out in the cold and driving over to join with The Pirates!!!!

The last time we came to The Pirate's Dinner Adventure was when Kate was 3 and Gabe was 1. We loved it then and were so excited to go back now that the kids are older!

Pirate Princess Kate & Captain Gabe!

After a fun preshow in the lobby, we entered the dining room surrounding the pirate ship.

We were in the Orange section...cheering on the Orange Pirate!

Do we look scary or what??!? :)

The show was great, food was yummy, and towards the end the kids were called up onto the ship to take the Pirate Oath. At 3 years old, Kate went up on the ship and stood on the front row surrounded by strangers. At 4 years old, Gabe looked at me like I was crazy suggesting he go onto a pirate ship with his nutty sister! Such different kids!!! :) Kate jumped right up from her seat and marched up onto the ship with the other kids. You can't see her in the picture, but she is somewhere in the middle of that bunch of little pirates...

After the show, we were able to meet the Pirate who saved the Princess as well as the Princess!

The Orange Pirate

Okay, so we loved the show and the kids had a blast, but I do have one major complaint about the evening. You see, there was a group of pretty, young women ...who happened to be sitting right next to me!...and they were all flirting with our pirate. Our pirate loved that of course, and flirted right on back! It sort of felt like he did his entire performance just directed at them, making eye contact mostly only at them and involving them wherever possible. It was a bit annoying! Thankfully, the show is more than just one pirate, but I was glad that our pirate didn't win all the challenges...mostly because the women didn't help him like they were supposed to!

After the show, back in the lobby, everyone was invited to join in on a dance party with the pirates! I knew Kate would want to dance, but was pleasantly surprised when Gabe also joined in on all the fun!
