Disney Fantasy transforms Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique into Pirates League by night, as guests become belles and buccaneers

in Disney, Disney Cruise Line, Entertainment

The magical salon that first debuted at Walt Disney World has made its way to the high seas, offering makeovers to Disney Cruise Line passengers while undergoing a makeover itself. On the new Disney Fantasy cruise ship, guests have a chance to be transformed into beautiful princesses and not-so-beautiful pirates in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique“>Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, which also becomes The Pirates League on select nights.

On most days and nights aboard Disney Fantasy’s 7-day cruises, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is available for young guests to be made over into their favorite pixie-dusted characters. But each voyage also features a Pirates in the Caribbean night during which the salon’s fairy godmother takes the night off, letting a few scoundrels and really bad eggs take control of passengers’ fates.

See both sides of the transformation in the video below.

Though Captain Jack Sparrow seems to dominate the minds of anyone who thinks of “Pirates of the Caribbean” these days, Disney Cruise Line hasn’t forgotten the franchise’s roots in the Disney theme park attraction of the same name, featuring a familiar face or two on artwork outside The Pirates League.
