The Walt Disney World Resort has many special events throughout the year that gives guests a reason to keep coming back to all four Disney theme parks. At the Magic Kingdom Park, many of those special events include after-hours parties, where the park actually shuts down early and then transforms into a special-ticket event complete with special activities, character appearances, parades and even a special fireworks presentation. One of these popular celebrations going on right now is Mickey’s Pirate and Princess Party, where, for one night, everyone in the Magic Kingdom can become a Disney princess or act like Captain Jack Sparrow or their favorite pirate!

While Mickey’s Pirate and Princess Party is a special-ticket event, meaning that you have to purchase an additional pass that is not included in any Walt Disney World ticket package, you are still going to need tickets to have access into all four Disney theme parks. Here at OrlandoFunTickets.com, we are your No. 1 online source for discounted tickets to all four Disney theme parks and two water parks, as well as the Universal Orlando Resort, Sea World Orlando, local dinner shows and other area attractions.

On select days until June 4, 2008, guests will have 13 opportunities to attend Mickey’s Pirate and Princess Party. This five-hour party, which runs from 7 p.m. until midnight, includes a whole host of new activities designed to bring out your inner princess or pirate! In fact, there are certain princess festivities and pirate adventures being held around the park that are can’t-miss stops for each and every guest at this special event. The princess festivities include Disney princess meet-and-greets, where Cinderella, Jasmine, Aurora, Ariel, Snow White, Belle and more gather around the park to meet all of the future princesses in attendance. At Ariel’s Court in Fantasyland, you can also dive into Sebastian’s Under the Sea Dance Party, or train to be one of Aladdin’s Royal Guards at Princess Jasmine’s court! Finally, the Dream Along with Mickey show in front of Cinderella Castle holds nightly performances as well, where scores of Disney characters try to stop Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent from turning dreams into nightmares!

If you are not in training to be a Disney princess, however, there are still plenty of activities for you as well with the many pirate adventures! Meet Captain Hook or Captain Jack Sparrow at pirate meet-and-greets, learn how to be a pirate at Captain Jack’s Pirate Tutorial or join Chip ‘n’ Dale and Lilo & Stich for Eclipse’s Dance Party at the Pirate Cove in Tomorrowland. There are also various pirate-themed entertainment stops around the park as well, such as a pirate band and even a breakdancing acrobatic troupe, the Extra Terrestrial Pirates!
