Went to the park today and took pics of the Pirate takeover. Enjoy!

very cool (except for TSI becoming overtaken by pirates). As much as I am opposed to the pirates on TSI, that entry sign for the rafts, is well done and themed.
Is the ship on the front of the stage part of pirates lair or the premiere?

I believe that the ship is for the premiere only, although it would be nice if they left it there for the Pirate's Lair stuff as well.

The props brought in for the Premiere; the shipwreck, the cannons, etc. are all made out of molded foam. Chunks and bits of it have already broken off while they were moved in, and they've had to glue them back on and do emergency repairs and painting on it. It's only made to last for the night of the party and will be tossed into the trash around 1:30 AM on Saturday night.

None of it will be used in Pirate's Lair.

And now that I've seen the Island and Pirate's Lair, I can expect all of the naysayers online to be eating giant platters of crow on Memorial Day!

Although I would rather that TSI stayed in its original non-pirate form, I really don't like the whole "Pirates Lair on TSI" thing.
Its just confusing and the theming doesn't match up and its a very silly compromise, IMO.
As much as it hurts me to say this, I hope the "on TSI" will fade away quickly, so that the healing can begin

The pirates kicked Tom out. Nothing will be left that gives a tribute to Tom.

I think that Tom's name still shows up on a tombstone in the island grave yard.

I'm so excited it's not even funny. Bah to the naysayers, this thing is going to be a HUGE hit.

Maybe actually review the thread before commenting on it - repeatedly.

Re: Pirates Premiere Stage & Pirate's Lair Sign

Holy... Just yesterday I was with MasterGracey and Peoplemover1 looking at the sign thing, and it had a pole going diagonally across it, and I was like "yeah that's the part that'll say 'Pirate's Lair' over it."

I'm psychic, I speak the truth! I don't know whether to cheer or cry.

As a graphic designer, and a total font/typography geek - the whole Pirate's Lair sign is seriously cool. I want that font on my computer.

Re: Pirates Premiere Stage & Pirate's Lair Sign

Just out of perverse curiosity, for all of you complaining about the loss of Tom Sawyer on the islands, when was the last time you actually went out there? Last time I went was years ago because once seen, it was not worth the wait to get over there and back. And since growing up, a lot of the stuff just isn't viable for an adult. And most of it was broke anyway.

I for one miss the fact that the Pirates have taken over another section of Disneyland, but on the other hand, anything that will get the island fixed up with all kinds of new goodies, is good news to me. I am actually looking forward to making my first trip over to the island in years just to see what's what over there.

I totally agree. That needs to be on my wedding invitations.

That'd be a pretty dang cool wedding invitation!
