AAARRRGGHHH! We left off with part three at pirate night aboard the Disney Magic.
hehe.
Dinner was at Parrot Cay again, with a pirate menu of course.
The food had a Caribbean flare, and after we were done with dessert we headed up on deck for the party.
The actual party itself is more geared towards kids, we walked around another part of the ship and then waited for Mickey to come in and save the ship from those blasted pirates!
Then, it was time for fireworks at sea! Being the smart kids that we are, we had already positioned ourselves on the correct side of the ship at the railing for the best viewing.
Right as the fireworks were ending we did something else because we are veteran Disney cruisers and smart kiddos…we started heading down a deck to the pirate buffet! (Like we hadn’t eaten enough at dinner!) Bobby loves this part most because they have whole turkey legs like you can buy in the park, of course these are included in the price of your cruise!
There were two different stretches of tables, one of “real food” and one of desserts. They had tacos, crepes, turket legs, fruit, cake, chili, it was wonderful.
We took our plates back to the adult section and found a table. They had started playing one of the Pirate’s in the Carribean movies on the big screen outside at the family pool and it was loud and very busy over there with all the tables set up. Word of advice, don’t wait until the fireworks are over to get in line. The lines got SO LONG, SO FAST. When I was on the Fantasy they had the buffet in Cabanas where they have buffets every day so it wasn’t bad, but on the Magic and Wonder they have had them on the pool deck and it’s chaos.
The happy boy with his turkey leg
We waddled back to our rooms with very full bellies. Why do they make Pirate night right before Castaway Cay day when everyone will be in their swimsuits? I was feeling QUITE bloated the next day! My next installment will be Castaway Cay day!

QOTD: When heading for a buffet such as this, would you head to the “real food” table first or the “dessert” table?
DESSERT of course…cuz Id be chasing the husband and six year old 🙂
Dessert for me! Thanks for posting the pics of fireworks. Younger DS was nodding off during the Avengers and told me he wanted to go back to the cabin for a quick nap. Needless to say he missed it all … And me too. Will have to catch it next time.
oh bummer! We saw the avengers on the boat, too!
totally dessert for me!
So much fun! I wish the fireworks weren’t so late but I know why they have to do it that way. I love the cake on the pirate buffet!
what a cool party! i love that american eagle top, i totally recognize it. that food looks so amazing. gotta love the eyepatch!
Real food first…save the ‘best’ for last 😉
Looks so fun! I love themed things and Disney does things write. I really want to go on a cruise!
