The famous Disney Magic Kingdom attraction the Pirates of the Caribbean is scheduled to reopen tomorrow after being closed for scheduled maintenance for a few weeks.
This was the last attraction that Walt Disney actually helped design. Originally to be a wax museum of pirates throughout history it became the boat ride many of us remember. Opening in 1967 in Disneyland in California it was originally thought to be to ‘local’ for the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. However with many guests complaints about the favorite attraction it was added to the Magic Kingdom in 1973.
Not without controversy over some of its content the attraction has been the favorite of visitors over the years. It is about 8 1/2 minutes long and has 125 animatronic creatures within.
It’s a great piece of childhood that should be shared with every kid especially with the renewed interest with the ride was brought about by the movies starring Johnny Depp.
