“A Pirate’s Day for Me” – Spend a Day with KennythePirate Giveaway
Update: The winner has been selected for the giveaway. I’ll be spending the day with Kerry D on May 16 at Star Wars Weekends.
Many guests of this website have asked if I’m available to meet up during their vacation. I’d love to be available to each one of you for each trip, but job, family and other commitments hinder me from being in every place at once :) With that said, I’ve decided to do a fun contest. Win a day with KtP!
The grand prize for the sweepstakes will include spending up to 6 hours together meeting characters, riding rides, watching shows or eating a meal with you and your family. What we do during our time in the park will be up to you! You can choose the attractions and I’ll maximize the order to have the best time possible. I’ll even bring along my camera to document our fun day together.
Will we ride Pirates of the Caribbean or Tower of Terror? Will we catch a great parade or watch fireworks? Will we meet Gaston or Peter Pan? Perhaps you’ll see my awesome dance moves at a dance party?

I will contact the winner via email and begin setting up the fun day together. Winner and family will be required to have valid park admission and there is no financial value for this prize.
Would love to see you in June :)
Holy cow – our group of 13 would have a blast hanging with you during our October trip!!! We are seriously the funnest group to tour with, LOL!!! First round is on us too!!!
Would be a thrill to have you with our family. We have learned so much from you and learn more all the time.
Entering
You are a great help when planning Disney trips! Thanks for all of your research and hard work!
I visit your website all the time (always dreaming of Disney), but for some reason, I just saw this. Here’s hoping!! :)
Is almost March 30th :)
That’s the day of the raffle or April 1st.
Is everyone getting excited about the thought of spending a day with Kenny at the Parks!!
Pixie Dust for all :)
I’ll contact the winner on April 1
Awesome sauce! Looking forward to winning, or trip is in May!
Pick me, pick me!!!! Please!!!!
Our family would love to spend a day with you in June. It would be wonderful if you maximized our daughters Pirate birthday or any day of our trip!!!
Would love a day with Kenny the Pirate! We have our first ever trip coming at the end of May. Would love to spend the day with you!
Great idea! Had the pleasure of meeting you at a Halloween party before, and you were very helpful and friendly and I can tell you’d be a great companion for the lucky winners. Here’s to hoping it is my family!
Going this June for the first time with the family during Star Wars weekend and I am very nervous to be a newbie and at SWW!!!! It would be great if you could join us!
I’ve been scouring your website for weeks trying to plan our trip! What a cool contest!
Wow – a day with Kenny the Pirate would soften the blow of PoC being closed during our trip!
Pick me !
A Day with Kenny would be amazing. Imagine the knowledge he could provide on seeing characters. Keith!!
A day with KTP would be like winning the lottery! Would love to have my own park guide instead of always feeling like I’m the guide.
I’d love to spend the day with Kenny the Pirate! We will be there in April!
Star Wars Weekend #1 Eh?
A day with KtP at Disney! My boys (the big one included) would pick your brain!
What a fun day it would be!
WOW! A day with a pirate! What better way to surprise my daughter for her 8th birthday and my husband for our 10th anniversary! ARG!!!! We’ll be visiting in June……our little princess doesn’t know it yet! :) Good luck to everyone!!!
What a wonderful idea, your website is so helpful
That sounds awesome
We would love to spend time with you during our June Grad trip for our daughter! Your emails bring some Disney magic to TN everyday- thank you for your wonderful website!
What better way than to spend the day with a character! Good luck to everyone entering as you will be spending the day with a Disney expert.
Thanks for the great blog full of helpful information! Would love to have you as our guide!
fun!
my first trip to WDW will be in September, this would be perfect!
My wife would love this for our trip this year
Me me me! Coming end of September.
Yay! This would be so fun!
Only pick us if you want a crazy, fun, and unforgettable day, lol……… TY!
I’m in! Would love to have you along for our first MNSSHP this October!
We will be there for MNSSHP this year!
Did I win yet?
Great idea! I will be seeing you in July! Maybe do a future contest with donations going to Give Kids the World?
Would be awesome – heading there in May with my son for star wars weekends, he’s get a kick out of this
Oh goodness, what an amazing thing to win! We are travelling to Disney all the way from Australia, so this would be a wonderful way to experience the park! All the best to everyone who has entered!!
Wow. How generous of you! Thank you for all the time and effort that you put into making our vacations even better! You helped our family immensely on our last trip as we had previously never focused much on characters. Now, watching my kids meet the characters is something I most look forward to!
My girlfriend and I are visiting Epcot in April for my daughter’s fifth birthday (her husband refuses to return after a crowded day last November), and we would love to have you along to make the day even more special as we try for our first character in-training meet.
We’re going soon!
I am such a huge fan of your website! Everytime I have friends ask me for Disney advise I direct them to your site! We would like to come for Halloween this year and navigating a party KtP style would be a dream!
What a great idea! I’d love to meet characters with the ultimate character locator!
Thank you for the giveaway! We would love to spend the day with you on our trip. :)
I am so entering! we will be there in May!
We will be there for my 40th bday in November. Would love to spend a day with you!!
What a great contest! I’ve read your entire site, so I feel like I know you and your family. We have season passes, and on several park trips I’ve said “I think I see Kenny the Pirate!” My husband thinks you’re a rare character. :-) Would love to meet you and learn more. Thanks for the opportunity!
love this idea kenny I check your site for all my disney needs!
Awesome contest idea! We saw you last year during the 24 hour party (at flag retreat) but didn’t want to hold you up by stopping you to say hi.
Entered the contest. Hope we win, it would be an amazing time. You have made each of our trips a success. It will give us a reason to get back up there now that our son is doing better.
What is better than spending the day @ Disney? Spending the day @ Disney with Kenny the Pirate.
Hello from Norway (no -not in Epcot; but the real Norway)! We have two trips planned this year: July and October. Would love to meet you!!
I flew into Oslo before heading down to the Netherlands and Paris, but didn’t get to see your beautiful country :(
We are taking our kids for their first visit in August/September and would love to spend a day with you! I used all your info and your character locator app to plan out our park touring, so it would be interesting to see how my planning would compare with how you would actually do it!
This would be such a great prize to win! Woohoo!
I would love to win this! We try to use all your suggestions, but would love to see how you really do it all! Pick us!!!!
Your character plans and articles are fantastic and so timely!
What a special experience this would be! I think this would be better than a VIP tour from Disney. Our family used the Character Locator /Character Palooza for the first time last year, BEST INVESTMENT EVER! This year we will be making our yearly trip to Disney in December and we will be using the Character Locator again!
Thanks for your support! It’s only going to get better really soon too.
This is a awesome idea! Every time we are at Disney, we always keep an eye out for you! My friend and I plan all the Disney trips for our family and reference your tips and site ALL THE TIME! Hanging out with you for the day would be our own Disney nerd dream!
Love your site and have used your app to meet tons of characters in the park. I’m sure my family would love to spend the day with you at WDW.
This will be so much fun! I would love to win this!
Keeping my fingers crossed! This is a fun contest! Coming end of Sept with my sister’s family and mine
what a cool idea!!!!
We’ll be in Disney World in October!! What better way to spend a day of the trip than with KtP!!!! :)
Definitely want in! But we don’t arrive til October. We’re from the UK and my family would love to spend the day with you.
Maybe we can snag your expertise to let our baby girl meet every Disney Princess once she arrives :D
This would be awesome. Learn from the best on how to maximize my days at Disney.
I’m in!
That would be so fun!
I don’t know how long I can keep my fingers and toes crossed, but I’ll try for as long as I can.
We would love this!!!
What a cool idea. Thank you for the opportunity to win. I’d totally have you take me on a character meet and greet frenzy.
This would be amazing!
