Disney World Pt7

If I had to pick a Top Three from our trip, Pirates of the Carribean would definitely be on it. We went on that ride too many times to count. Joshua and I have loved that ride (and all of the movies) since the first movie came out in 2003. Emilee and Trevor also enjoy the movies and ride...and now, even though we haven't let him watch the movie yet, Carter has found a love of pirates in general (remember his Halloween costume and birthday party?!), so he's 100% on board too.

On our first day in MK, we found this side show, where children in the audience were allowed to step forward and earn the title of Official Pirate. They had to come up on stage and perform a couple of little pirate moves and take the pirate oath. It was soooo cute and we were tickled that Carter, who is normally shy in new public places, willingly went up on stage and played along.

And boy, oh boy, was he proud when he earned his Official Pirate Certificate from the REAL Captain Jack Sparrow!

And we didn't take many pictures of the actual POTC ride, but here's the shot of Jack with his Pirate Treasure at Carter's request, because Carter LOVES "treasure"!  After you get off the ride, you exit into the POTC store, and it was here, over several trips through, that Carter spend almost all of his trip allowance...on pirate coins, a pirate necklace, a pirate flag, a pirate telescope, and a pirate sign for his bedroom door.  Never has there been a bigger smile on a little pirate's face!
