Mickey's Pirate and Princess Party was a hard-ticketed (separate admission) event held throughout the months of January through June at the Magic Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida outside Orlando.
Started in January 2007 and ending in 2009 at Walt Disney World, the event was created after cast members at the park saw many children dressed either as pirates or princesses at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (another ticketed event held yearly in September and October).
As Disney show director Tara Anderson said, "This new party allows guests to live out the adventures of scurvy pirates and pretty princesses.
The event was full of a variety of exclusive themed entertainment and activities for the whole family, including "Disney's Enchanted Adventures Parade," "Magic, Music and Mayhem" (a special fireworks show), rare character meet and greet opportunities, dance parties, and so much more.
The treats that guests received for solving the riddles included plastic pirate coins, beads, chocolate treasure, and gems.
