Mermaid School and Captain Hook’s Pirate Crew

Your little one has the chance to become part of Ariel’s world at the Mermaid School once more! Guests ages 4 and older can enjoy an hour-long class where they’ll be fitted with a swimmable “tail” and led through activities teaching them how to swim in a pool like a mermaid. Mermaid School will be offered on select dates at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. Classes are $50/person (plus tax). Reservations are now open through 407-WDW-PLAY.

Captain Hook’s Pirate Crew

Ahoy, mateys! Reservations are now open for a new group experience that invites young recruits ages 4-12 into the world of pirate feasting and treasure seeking, high-energy sailin’ and swashbucklin’ fun. The new Captain Hook’s Pirate Crew at Disney’s Beach Club Resort teaches your little pirate how to be part of a crew, and lets them follow clues that will lead to hidden treasure and being named to Captain Hook’s Pirate Crew.  Armed with clues, young buccaneers will sail through the resort and comb the waters of Crescent Lake on a pontoon boat, in the latest seafaring adventure at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. 

X MARKS THE SPOT!  When your little pirate and his crew unearth the treasure, all join in a Pirate feast that includes meals such as Cannon Meatballs with marinara or macaroni and “gold” sauce for entrees, along with a treasure chest treat or fruit for dessert. Captain Hook’s Pirate Crew is priced at $55 per child (plus tax); the adventures begin April 28. For more information or to book a reservation, call 407-824-KIDS.
