Princesses and Pirates

As soon as Marina learned the Disney Junior show The Pirate and Princess Adventure was coming to town, she wanted to go. I was a bit surprised since those shows are directed toward a younger audience, but we decided to check it out anyway.

Marina would have loved to dress as Sophia the First but Disney doesn't make those costumes in her size. She was disappointed so we improvised. She wore a purple dress since Sophia does and we added a Sophia amulet and tiara. Marina was happy with that. She also brought along her Marina the mermaid doll from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

The show started with a short performance by Doc McStuffins. Then Mickey and Minnie Mouse came out to emcee the show. Marina was engrossed in the Sophia the First story. She even correctly predicted some of the songs before they sang them. And along with all the other princesses in the audience, Marina was thrilled when Cinderella made a cameo appearance.

During the intermission three pirates from the show came out to meet and greet with the audience. At first, Marina was hesitant to approach them, but she discovered they were nice pirates and had her picture taken with them all.

The second act was based on Jake and the Neverland Pirates. She was excited when Tinkerbell and Peter Pan made special appearances in the show.

After the performance was over, Marina was very enthusiastic about it. She told me that if it comes back here she wants to see it again.
