Pirates Fireworks & Princesses
A look at the pyro-techniques - Pirate and Princess Party
Everyone’s thrilled that Disney’s Pirate and Princess Party is coming back for more Magic Kingdom® nights this fall. It’s another chance to be a part of the fun, from lessons in being a royal guard to dances with Ariel’s friends, as well as enough games, laughs and Disney Character meetings to fill a scrapbook. Plus a fantastic fireworks finale For many Guests, the Magic, Music and Mayhem fireworks spectacular is a major reason to attend. “I wrote it to be an event within the event,” said Walt Disney Creative Entertainment Show Director Chris Oyen. “All of us in Creative Entertainment were looking for a real story with a beginning, middle and end. The first challenge was figuring out how to blend the themes of pirates and princesses.

“It turned out to be simple: why would pirates want to visit a magical castle? To capture it, of course! So we begin with Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother, joined by Flora, Fauna, Merryweather and King Triton. This leads to a waltz that is ‘danced’ by the fireworks in the sky. Our musical director and arranger, Steve Skoija and Gordon Goodwin, really outdid themselves with their rendition of great Disney songs.
“But Captain Hook summons up forces of pirate behavior. Now as this has been happening, we’ve been widening our sky canvas. The explosive images have spread out like a wide-screen movie. Triton tries to stop them and regain control, and there’s an amazing battle with what appear to be mortar shots hitting the Castle. These are some of the most daring effects we’ve ever attempted, but the story really led us to come up with new ways to use the technology. “Just when Hook thinks he’s won, our live Tinker Bell takes victory right out of his grasp! Her entrance is really motivated by the action of the story. We may have asked her to fly for us before, much as she used to do on Disney TV shows, but this is perhaps the first time she’s taken such a dramatic role in vanquishing the villains.” And a pixie shall lead them Guests are truly inspired by the show in ways no one had ever expected. “One of the most gratifying things for me was to hear people laugh!” Chris said. “With fireworks, we can usually get folks to gasp and ooh and aah, but this is different. Shows like Wishes™ and IllumiNations taught us we had the ability to make an emotional impact through music, fireworks and lighting from a number of directions within and around the Park. This takes it to a whole other level.” Get your tickets faster and easier with Disney’s E-Tickets!

28 August is our last night and I've booked an ADR for 7pm at Liberty Tree Tavern. Will we need to buy tickets for the Pirates & Princess event in order to be able to stay and see the fireworks that night or will we have to leave the park after dinner? Quite happy to do this but need to get a shift on in case they are sold out! Thanks!

Answered my own question - yes we do! The park closes at 7pm that night. Have just got 4 e-tickets - something great to look forward to on our last night.
