Princess and Pirate Party

[Ksmith75]

Are they still doing this?

[SBETigg]

They may bring it back eventually, but I heard they discontinued them for the first half of this year. I'm torn on how I feel about that. On one hand, I loved that party and the fireworks were fantastic. We had such a good time there. On the other hand, I really don't like WDW closing one park to all but special ticket-holders and cutting that park's hours to all who didn't pay extra.

I hope they do bring it back. We had the best time we've ever had at the MK during the party.

I caled the other day to see if the dates were
out and they are not going to have it. I hope
they bring it back in the future. We had such
a good time when we went. It is a great party.
I was told it is canceled at least for now. We
are going in March and wanted to attend.

I agree...I wouldn't mind as much if started after normal park closing times...like an EMH.

I really wish the P&P didn't go away. I feel they were the best of the 3 parties. The fireworks were amazing.

Technically the parties are held after park close.

I agree that it is the best of the three parties. The fireworks were the best I have ever seen in my life!! We were attending the party in March, but had to cut our trip short by a few days, so selfishly, I am glad the party is no longer being held that week.:blush:

Technically. Yes, but the parks close several hours early to facilitate this, which causes some scheduling problems for people who don't plan to attend and wanted to spend the day at MK. I think people pay enough to enjoy the parks and the shortened MK hours can be a real bummer.

That's OK why spend more $$$ .Lets go to the T-REX instead!!!!:beer:

There are other times when MK closes early as well, due to the park hours. And when MK has a party, another park HAS to have EMH to cover it.

AMEN!

We went to the P&P party and while the fireworks were outstanding I truly didn't think it was worth the extra price of admission. I would much prefer the parties go back to be special occassions that happen at Halloween and Christmas.

I've never seen the MK close at 7 during August except for the P & P party time. And there were so many P & P parties scheduled during our stay that it was hard for us to get a night in the MK without paying extra to attend a party or going during one of the busier days. There were no MK EMH nights when we were there due to the P & P party and EMH in other parks don't make up for missing MK time, for us.

Like I said, we loved the party and would do it again if it was offered. But I also didn't love the constraints it placed on our schedule with having to work around the extra P & P party downtime.

I am so bummed, we honestly had a great time last year during this:( I already had scheduled this around our dinner reservations for our April/May trip, we just watched the dvd of it yesterday my kiddos were so excited to go again. I'm not too happy right now.
