Tuesday was “Talk Like A Pirate Day”, and it reminded me of last year meeting the infamous pirate: Captain Jack Sparrow.

He’s an elusive character at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. You cannot meet him during the day, but often can see him during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. (Hence why I’m dressed as a cat.) He’s actually the first character I met, and it happened very quickly. I had just gotten off the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, to see a line of people. It wasn’t very long, so I decided to hop in the line, not really knowing what it was. I was delighted to find out that it was the line to meet Jack Sparrow!

It’s a great meet and greet, you get plenty of time to talk to Sparrow. Jack asked me where I lived, and at hearing “Colorado” he threw his hands up in shock. “That’s landlocked!” He said shocked.

As Pirates do, we got on the conversation of Rum (and how much I love it!). Jack sadly told me I had “picked a dry port”, I laughed at this. Magic Kingdom doesn’t (at the time) have alcohol.

This was definitely a great character interaction and was one of my highlights of the Halloween Party!
