Live the Pirate’s Life at These Great Orlando Attractions
Pirates of the Caribbean – “sail” through the mysterious and hilarious world of singing, dancing and mischievous misfit pirates. And now with Captain Jack Sparrow popping up throughout, it’s almost like riding along with the crew of the Black Pearl themselves! An unforgettable family favorite you’ll want to ride again and again.
Pirate’s Dinner Adventure – dine amid swashbuckling action, dazzling pyrotechnics and song-filled fun. As you watch from the “shore” the action unfolds on an authentic life-sized replica of an 18th-century Spanish galleon surrounded by a 300,000-gallon indoor lagoon. Also featuring a bounty of great food and engaging audience participation, Pirate’s Dinner Adventure is a dinner show you’ll “treasure” forever!
Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf – explore an island filled with shipwrecks and skulls – and where treasure and treachery await each putt. Voted by Orlando Magazine as “Best in Florida” for Miniature Golf, Pirate’s Cove is a pirate putting adventure the whole family will enjoy.
Plus, don’t miss the NEW Haunted Pirate Cruise during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World – featuring a tour of haunted “island” marinas, ghostly tales, special treats and more!
