Okay, there is this young boy, he's about 13 or 14 or 12 who knows. He has a black female babysitter who watches him one night. (He has blonde hair) She reads him a story about pirates. Or he reads the book ,not sure. He "falls asleep' and "dreams" that he is in this pirate world. He finds himslef on the beach, and sees a pirate with a long black beard. He then sets up booby traps all over the island with items found in his duffle bag. It was a disney movie I think. I think the oldest boy from tool time was the kid. I also think it was called treasure island, but im not sure. Please help me, thank you.
