While in Magic Kingdom, take a spin on the ride that started it all. Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction opened in 1973 and has been entertaining guests ever since. With rich details such as a stalemate chess match in the queue and hair on a pirates legs dangling over your boat, this attraction is one of the Imaginers’ best. With inspiration from Walt himself, the simple storyline showcasing a band of pirates and their exploits has spawned movies, merchandise, and other attractions in the Theme Parks.

After your trip on the original attraction, check your Times Guide for show times for Captain Jack’s Pirate Tutorial. Everyone’s favorite pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, enlists new recruits several times a day for pirate training and to take the pirate oath. Children are randomly selected from the audience to participate in the show making every show unique and fun for all ages.

Then stop by to meet Jake in person after the show just outside the theater. Be sure to let Jake pass along your greetings to Izzy, Sharkey and the rest of the gang.

If you have some extra time stop by the newly added attraction The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow on soundstage 4 and see if you have what it takes to join Jack’s crew. This new walk thru attraction will put you to the test as you experience your favorite moments from the Pirates of the Caribbean films come to life before your eyes. It is different. We will leave it at that. Do not get in line for this if there is a more than 10 minute wait, there is better use of your time elsewhere in the park.

Enjoy some snacks and treats before your voyage to the best spot to watch Magic Kingdom’s Wishes fireworks show.
