Pirates Meet, before the changes!

[innerSpaceman]

My personal favorite bit of piratin' was when we commondeered the Tarzan Treehouse, hung the skull & crossbones flag from the rope bridge for all of Adventureland to see, and then proceeded to all "sing" Swisska Polka at the top of our lungs, jumping up and down on that bridge like it was some rumored closing on Tom Sawyer Island, and re-claimed the Treehouse in the name of the neutral Swiss.


zappop and I were the stragglers of the meet who actually closed the Park. One more ride on Pirates, and one more ride on Space. Ya know, we had enough fast passes for everyone to take a second spin thru Space Mountain...

Ordinarily, this many fast passes left in our hot little hands would have been a golden bonanza to zap and me ... but after some pirate rum at the AP lounge, a few stops at various "smoking sections," fireworks filling the entire sky at Small World, and a sledfull of Rainbow Glasses riders on Space Mountain ... and we were feeling a little wobbly.

One more time was enough for us.

And one final Pirates ride that was so bitter sweet. But I sure am glad we had an amazing Pirates send off earlier in the day that will go down as one of our best Pirates of the Caribbean adventures ever.

A Great and Spectacular Meet.
