Disney: Recommendation: Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial

So you're at Disney World and you want to be a pirate? Well, there's only one thing for you to do and that's go to Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial.

Park: Magic Kingdom
Area: Adventureland
*To the left of Pirates of the Caribbean Ride*


We did this experience back in 2013 and it was a lot of fun.  You can find it running several times a day in Adventureland right outside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.  Captain Jack comes out with his first mate and starts to survey the crowd looking to train some new crew members.  For the training part he only picks out 4 kids but at the end everyone can take the pirate oath and be initiated in. Cupcake was determined to get picked and as luck would have it, Captain Jack picked her that day.  She was the only girl to join his crew and he kept saying he didn't trust her because he couldn't see the whites of her eyes (she was wearing sunglasses).  It was a funny show that had enough adult humor to keep all ages interested for the entire 25 minute show.  The actors did a great job - the first mate was the right amount of bumbling and Jack was spot on. I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining it was. They get adults involved too as one of the distractions they teach them is to yell, "Look it's Blackbeard's Daughter!"  I got to be Blackbeard's daughter throughout the entire show.  It was rather hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing.  It was fun to watch, fun to participate in so we recommend going to try it out.  Here are some pictures from the show.
