We literally walked right on to every ride we wanted to go on. The treasure spots, we didn't more than a minute. The only line we had to wait in that night was for the Captain Jack Sparrow 
Meet and Greet. We timed that right though, because we only had to wait about 20 minutes.
We went to the party this past Thursday, February 8th! We all had an amazing time, even my little 16 yr. old brother who thought he was "too old". He shut up about it after we got there, though.
We were worried tickets would be sold out since we were late checking in at Fort Wilderness and then it took forever for us to get to the Magic Kingdom. But we made it there, got our treasure bags, grabbed some dinner, and enjoyed the empty park.
Overall, I loved the party!! I hope I can make it to another one.
I totally agree! We went on 2/1, and went over to see the princesses. Even at 11:45pm we waited in a pretty long line! My kids loved the parade, the show and the fireworks. They also loved just walking on the rides!
They really liked Ariel's dance party, too. They wanted to stay longer, but we had to move along.
I was sad to see that not many families dressed up that night. I saw a lot of kids and a lot of Dads, but not whole families. We all dressed up and some people thought my husband worked at the park!
that I bought at the Disney store at the mall for $4. I entered at 5 and got my wrist band. I walked to POTC shop and looked for a hat or something but did not find anything. I ended up getting a light-up princess tiara
in another shop and wore it the rest of the night. I headed over to Ray's for a wrap from the salad/sandwich section. It was 6pm and it was already shut down. I ended up getting roasted chicken. As I was eating it I decided it wasn't what I wanted so I would have to get a snack later. I slowly walked around and found a spot for Wishes. After wishes I walked over the bridge into Adventure Land and saw a line for Jack Sparrow with only 10-15 people in it so I decided to join the line. I was behind a small group that had some former CMs in it and one of them was currently a CM at Disneyland. I enjoyed listening to their conversations. I wasn't trying to evesdrop but it was impossible not to hear them.
The wait was no more than 20 min. The CM playing Jack Sparrow was about as right on as anyone could get in physical appearance, body movements and voice. Wow.
The only rides that I went on Liberty Boat, Transit Authority and Philharmagic. The rest of the night was just walking around, getting my treasures and taking in the atmosphere. There were so many people dressed up. Tons of cute little pirtates, princesses and even princeses. All just so cute.
I enjoyed the parade and the fireworks were awesome. I liked the way they silhouetted shapes of stuff like skull and cross bones or a sword, onto the walkway along Frontierland and Liberty Square. Low, low crowds during the party. I attended the Feb 1st party solo. It was the warmest day of my trip so I was very comfortable in just my t-shirt and jeans. I wore a POTC t-shirt
A tip. I noticed that as the night went on that the gold lettering on my treasure bag was wearing off so I asked for another (for my Disney shelf at home). I had to say the magic word, Arrrrgh, to get it. Don't hesitate to ask for an extra bag.
I give the P&P party
We went last week (I have photos on my site, only until March 8th - then they come down). It was fun, with short lines and the fireworks were second only to the Halloween Party fireworks (for me, anyway!) We live in the Orlando area, and actually enjoy the hard ticket events so we can stay late with fewer crowds.
The Captain Jack line was very long, that was the only character I had any interest in.
I can't wait to see those fireworks!
Your pix are great, thanks!
