Name: Pirates of the Caribbean
Type: Ride,Boat Ride
Location: Magic Kingdom, in Adventureland
The Gist: Sail past scenes of animatronic pirates (including some recently added Jack Sparrows) in this classic Disney ride, that inspired the hit films.
A Must-Do For: Those who dream or have dreamed about being a pirate; people who are sexually attracted to Johnny Depp.
Avoid If: You'd have major problems with dark spaces or fake cannonballs exploding around you.
Fear Factor: 3/10. Although this ride is calm for the most part, there are some things that could creep out small children, like a brief moment of total darkness, some loud noises, and a small drop (veeerrry small, although it did scare me when I was a kid).
Lines and Other Tips: For being one of the most famed rides in the park, the wait time is typically not too bad (usually less than 30-ish minutes). But if you are in the mood to just walk on (and maybe even get a boat to yourself!), wait until dark, preferrably after the fireworks. Usually, Adventureland and Frontierland clear out drastically, so most of the rides in those areas, including Pirates, will have crazily lower wait times. Also, keep in mind, there is no Fastpass available for this ride.
Pirates is such a classic- an absolute Magic Kingdom must-do. The movies in no way live up to the legacy of the ride, at least in my opinion. Although, the Jack Sparrow animatronics they added are amazingly realistic. For all you Depp-lovers out there (which is, let's face it- most of us), this is the next best thing to seeing him in person. Just promise me you'll stay in the boat and keep your hands to yourself;)
