“Guests will get to embark on their own adventure as they choose to take the pirate oath or become an honorary princess or prince for the day” officials said in a news release.
New this year, the resort is offering an exciting and interactive experience, the Pirate Outpost Invasion. Guests will hear tales of adventure, pirate-inspired music and enjoy a sip of the captain’s brew inside the new Pirate Speakeasy.
